Core i7 950:


Core i7 950 CPU-Z@5460 CL7

Super PI 32M:

need somme tweaks for OS :D


wPrime 32M:

PiFast:

23x works better then 24x - CPU has a low VID (1.14V) and high leakage - so i think we need some LN2 to max them out...


Then we tested the Core i7 920 again (last week we got some nice scores with this CPU):


Intel Core i7 920 CPU-Z@5299MHz CL6

Super PI 32M CL6:

Super PI 1M (last week):

This weekend we got some better CPU-Z scores with this CPU - cause we got the Pot a little bit colder - this CPU has a low VID (1.15V) and high leakage too..

wPrime 1024M@high clocks is with both CPUs not possible, cause temperature is getting higher and higher...
I hope we can test them next weeks with some LN2.

A special thanks goes to EVGA and Shamino for the best motherboard - EVGA Classified is a real beast :up:

Stay tuned :rehab:

Insane OCing! Isn't that considered the world record (for the time being at least)?

Nice results! What mhz for 3dm06 and vantage cpu test ? :up:

Ah, finally we see a 950 starting to live up to expectations, and a very nice 920 validation too! Thanks for the inspirational post. :)

Nice scores bros!

this 950 realy roxx

keep tweaking the SuperPi I think 6min 50 is possible @ 5,25

Excellent 950 there :clap:

Id love to see the Voltage and Overclocking tabs from Eleet at those clocks so I can see what you had to pump into it!

Strong 950, very nice :up:

realy nice 950 :D

AWsome there mate, well done to you and what is max Bclk on this core i7 950 ? and coldbug around what degress ?:clap::eek::up:

Sweet setup and super results.., Congrats and best wishes in future sessions! :-)

Very impressed, seems the classified is the base for the serious benchers,

and the new DO's are the burners.

great run, :up:

good job :clap:

Great job dude, heheh you run tghter timings on 32m than 1m :D

Thank you :) - atm it is the hwbot record with i7 950 - but i dont think for a long time :D - when top overclockers starting benching with this cpu...

Thx - not yet tested the i7 950 in 3D - hope next week..
The i7 920 runs 4.9GHz Vantage and 5GHz 3D06 under Single Stage - with better cooling think both CPUs can do 5GHz+

Thx Bros :)

i´ll contact you for some 32M tweaks :D

Thanks - important voltages: VTT@1.35V and IOH@1.45V

Thanks! The i7 920 is second Retail Chip and i7 950 first - and both running good..
First time i have so much luck :D

Thank you mate - did not test max BCLK @950 (played only with x23) - no CB and CBB @ both CPUs - both CPUs boot without problems @ -65°C outside the pot - think we need some LN2 to find this out :D

Thx Master :) - this board is pure fun :up: - cant stop benching :rehab:

We tested so a long time 32M (cause score was not as good as it could) and then we had no more Dice..Must do this 1M and PiFast Screen very fast :D - no time for tweaking...

Great work! Were you more bclk limited with 24x and thats why you used 23x?

Thanks afrokalle, I'll give those volts a shot with my 950. Dont know about those vcore volts though even under the cascade :D

Very nice score on dry ice

Can you tell i950 Batch please?

I sow that any 950 have a problem with 24 multy...right?

Thanks :)

24x is buged and i can only hit 5150MHz for a screen - but 23x works smooth :D

we worked without LLC - so VCore drooped to 1.5V - 1.525V@Load. Did not really test if CPU can do this clocks with less VCore...
Hope you´ll have fun with your i7 950 :up:

Thx mate :)

Batch is 3849Bxxx (dont know the rest :D - i´ll update..)

I dont know if any i7 950 have a problem with x24 but i saw that Pt1t ones have problems too..
All i7 works a little bit better with oddly multipliers (17,19,21,23) but on my i7 950 the difference between x23 and x24 is very big :shrug:

3849B is a nice batch... congrats on the nice scores in my fav benchmarks :D

Thanks Eva :wave: - especially from you its nice to hear...you are a absolutley memory guru (reading always your threads)...

Nice Scores dude :) I really need to get some better Rams.. ^^

Thanks Afrokalle :up: Ive picked up a W3540 now too so I will keep whichever one gets the better clocks!

Great CPUs mate, especially that 950 :up:
Batches please :)

Thanks George :)

both are no 3845 :D - the 950 is 3849B099 and the 920 is 3849A769 - 49 seems to be a good week too...

Started last night with some 3D benches...

Core i7 950 & 9800GT (Core i7 950 cooled by Single Stage -42°C@Eva@Load & 9800GT V-Mod GPU watercooled by Enzotech SNBW)

3DMark06 CPU Score:

coming soon :D

http://www.abload.de/img/cpuscore23p8m.png

CPU scales wonderful with cold but its not cold enough to bench 3D06 CPU Test with more then 5GHz - but i will try with Dice or LN2 at the weekend...


Core i7 950 & GTX280 (Card is @stockcooler at the moment but will make cold next days :D)

http://www.abload.de/img/gtx280aquacpri.png

not enough cold at the moment to push cpu to same result as yesterday...

Stay tuned :peace:
