1st Intel cpu I've liked since my 2.4c :)
runs hot even with watercooling, but still I think it's a good setup :)
With cheapie refurb x800gto from newegg putting up some decent numbers :)

Yep, that's pretty damn good. I wish I could get more outta mine, but unless I go with WaterChill or better I'm stock where I'm at. What helps me a little bit is my ram. What are you load temps? Try doing some PCMark04/05.
ok I"ll have to dl them though
load temps 57-58C :O
radiator is about boiling over lol!
j/k of course
but rad is hot. Prolly need a much better fan. I had graphics watercooled too in loop but cpu heat actually made clocks worse :(
Time to upgrade your radiator.
:eek:
Do you need to use that vcore to push the 920@4200 ???? Even using WC???
I only need 1.37vcore to put my 920@4200 with Air Cooling and 2.2vdim to push my 2GB Patriot PC-6400 DDR2 @ PC-7100 (900).
I'm using Air Cooling (XP90c + NB SX2) and only 1.37Vcore

Turn off all tweaks @bios, like hyper path 3, etc, because it limits the manual OC. ;)
yeah
but this is a very spare pc used for ddr2 testing ;p
more fan should help with temps, but blast furnace of cpu isn't helping!
I still like it though :)
yep less vcore = not stable :(Quote:

Go @ Bios and make this changes:
Advanced/JumperFree Config Menu
-> Performance Mode [Standard]
-> MCH Chipset Voltage [1.60v]
CPU Configuration Menu
-> Microcode Updation [Enabled]
all other options on this menu [Disabled]
Chipset Menu
-> Hyper Path 3 [Disabled]
-> Link Latency [Normal]
-> PEG Link Mode [Normal]
Try to set your Vcore to 1.4v and then make some tests. If its ok, try to low the vcore to 1.385v and so on.... ;)
Hope this helps u!
I just installed a 920 in a Foxconn 955 board, and It seems to be doing Pretty good. Much better than any of the Prescots I have had.
This is the first Intel chip I have had that feels like it would keep up with a
x2 series Athlons.
Air cooled with a temp probe right on the CPU heatspreader.
45C Max 230=3.2G Just getting started.
Your 920 can do much more!!!
3.2 it's peanuts for that cpu! :banana: ;)
Yes that is what I am Hoping for, yet this might not be the right board for it.Quote:

Try to disable the hyper path 3, and set the Performance Mode to Standard.
This settings are good when u'r using default speeds, but when OCing this limits the overclock.
I'm kind of disappointed with these cpu's. I was thinking 4.6 would be seen quite often on water. I will probably get one anyway.
yeah I was hoping after the hype prior to launch that cm would be 5ghz+ on water and pressler wouldn't be far behind. Reality has bit us hard this time. Oh well, still good preformer for what it is :)
Intel's yields have been awefully spotty. The better chips can do 5 its just a question of which.Quote:

I hope that won't be my case. I just ordered a 920... :)Quote:

My 920 can go up to 4.5, but I have to put my AC on and put the case a couple of feet in front of it. I do need 1.6V to be Prime stable at that speed. I am right now at 4.4 with 1.55V, it's much easier to maintain this speed.
MFM- as I found out some chips need more voltage to get to the same speed, it's just luck of the draw.
I thinkI may just get one and give it a go.
Quick question, a person I know claims he got his 920D 3d stable at 4.6ghz, stock volts and cooling, thats complete bs right?
stock cooling? i wouldnt believe that. stock cooler is just a paper weight
I'm happy with paying $260 for this chip. It's not gonna break any world records but it's a decent budget system. I am using cheap turbo PQI memory as well. ;)
300fsb Air cooled w/ BT, load temps go up into the mid 60's. :)

I run it at 287fsb day to day as it's not as hot that way (bout 60c loaded).
Well I am voltage limited. only have .1825 above default for a total of 1.34 according to the bios and cpu-z. 250fsb for 3.5G.
I need a V-mod.
Are you using those new Mushkin XP2-5300's? How're you liking them?
