The previous run with lower GFlops may have been due to not being fully stable. You also need to check what problem size he is running in comparison to you.
Oddly enough, I get ~52-54GFlops(20,507->19925 problem size) with 8-thread LinX with Hyper-threading OFF.
With Hyper-threading ON and 8-threads, it drops to 49GFlops(same problem size).
This is on an i7-860 @ 3.8Ghz. Everything is very stable and the LinX results are consistent through 10, 25, and even 50 runs.
HT OFFHT ON
Yikes! That's alot of voltage and temperature. I don't have the screet shot, but my problem size is larger than 23000 with 54+Gflops when HT is on.Quote:

LinX shows higher Gflops when HT is off at the same clock speed.
my 1st oc with my new mobo m3f.,but why everest read my IMC at 1.55v.,and the turbo v read at 1.29V.,i dunno which is the accurrate between them.,and is it save for me to use this setting for 24/7?
-Guys, I'm running my 860 at 182*21 with 1.28 vcore and 1.27 vQPI, prime 95 small FFTs load temps maxed out at 83°C with Megahalems, when I lower the vcore and vQPI to 1.26 and 1.25 (Prime 95 small FFTs stable) -> the load temps still reach 83°C. What's wrong with my temps ? It's supposed to be cooler with lower voltage, isn't it ?

@ David-Duc
Your reasoning seems correct. You should check some other things though too.
- Have you tried disabling HT? This makes ~10C difference in temps for most.
- What type of thermal paste?
- Is thermal paste mounted properly? Has it had time to cure?
- Do you have adequate airflow?
- What are your idle temps? (if they are also high, then this might be more of a reason to investage the first three)
- Remember, ambient temps make a HUGE difference.
- Does your case have a fan that vents heat out the top?
Just a few things I could think of. I know you might have had some previous overclocking experience, but these can be things that many overlook, even when they are experienced.
Good Luck, and have fun. All else looks good, you should be on the way to victory in no time!
Thanks a lot for your reply, cesthree. Answers to your questions:
-I tried to disable the HT, the temp goes down but I couldn't have my HT disabled, because the F@H via Linux VMWare require it :D.
-The Thermal paste is the one that came with my Megahalem, I think it is PK-1. The mounting is also good, double checked it :up:.
-My system has been up for 3-4 days and I think this period of time is ok for TIM curing.
-My case is CM Centurion 5, which is 4 years old now :banana:, but I think it still meets my needs. 1 intake fan, 1 exhaust fan, 1 fan from PSU that also exhaust, all fans are Thermaltake Thunderblade 2000rpm except for the PSU fan - they sounded like a vacuum :p:
-Idle temp. around 42-46°C.
-Room temp. around 28°C
I'm not a "suicide overclocker" and my system has to full load at least 18hrs a day so I'll leave it at 3.8Ghz. Sharing experiences and discussing problems help us leap forward :D, so don't be hesitate. Thank you again, cesthree.
I built 4 systems using that case for my last employer. Still running circles around the HP crap they have in the other 75% of the offices.
It's a good case, for a desktop. I am not sure if it does a great job at keeping your Megahalems happy tho.
A buddy of mine had two cases that were very similar in design. We went in halves on a hole saw to cut 120mm fan holes. Punched holes in both of them and mounted some medium-high speed fans. Made a very significant impact on his temps.
Also, have you seen this:
http://skinneelabs.com/indigoxtreme.html
I am picking up some of that Shin-Etsu as soon as I find a retailer that carries the fitting I want and the Shin-Etsu so I can order from one place.
Really with the voltages you are pushing you shouldn't see that high of temps, and the Megahalems is a great cooler, which leaves case airflow and ambient temps.
I should have specified if we were talking about ambient room or ambient case temps. If it is room temps then:
28C isn't bad, but I know that 25C is ~75F, so you are closer to 80F and that is a right around what temperature my computer room gets to when I am stress testing after 3-4 hours.
If you are starting at 28C, then you really need to lower ambient some if you want lower temps in the case at the CPU.
I could be totally off base. These are just guesses, and I am not a thermodynamic engineer. Just from what I have observed.
I had to close the heat register in our computer room to keep things under control. Both of our rigs keep it warm enough anyhow. :D
-Good new: changing TIM from PK-1 to OCZ Freeze helps reduce temperature to 78°C. Tested 2 times and OCZ Freeze always better than PK-1 about 2°C.
Here is mine current stable clock that I use for 24/7

What´s the real VID? In BIOS show 1,1375 (GA-P55M-UD2) for my batch L933B553. Is correct?:confused:
@-JJ-: max load temp. hit 90+°C is not safe for 24/7 using IMO :D. But I love your Dominator, my :banana: 2*2GB Ripjaws 1600 maxed out at 1820 and they don't eat any voltage at all.
Bullsh_it :D -> only Linx can get the CPU to ~90 °C with this particular setup&settings, therefore its safe as hell. I have tried all sorts of games/software and nothing gets the CPU over 65 °C. In fact here's a print screen of temp. after playing COD6 MW2 MP..Quote:

Do you have some other system settings for us? Not that you changed them, but I am concerned as to what you are running for voltages, settings, etc. in order to obtain your 3.8Ghz OC.Quote:

Initially, the cpu cooler (ultra 120 ext.) was not setup good enough, since the temp. improvement from 88C to 73C could not be achieved only because of change of thermal pastes..

Hi,
I've also an I7 860 with Asus P7P55D-E Deluxe motherboard.
The strange thing is that in bios on multiplier options I can go up until 22x instead of 21x.
Is this normal ? Is a motherboard feature ? Or is a I7 870 CPU downclocked to 860 and with the multiplier forgeted at 22x ?
Does anyone else encountered this ?
My 860 on an Asus board also has the 22 multi available.
So this is a motherboard feature or is a "unlocked" cpu series ?
P.S. Also I saw that you have 8 gb ram. I have too, but they are detected as 8196MB instead of 8192. How much are detected on yours ?

Hi,
I see that you are using Asus motherboards around here. I have a question related to T.Probe management:
I've installed T.Probe software and I saw that in Extreme Phase mode, lane 9 and 12 is going over average (over top line above average) turning yellow, while the other lanes 1-16 except 9 and 12 are bellow bottom line. Is this normal ? T.Probe shouldn't manage heat and load of the capacitors ?
Wish I could help, but I don't use T.Probe. :shrug:Quote:

I hope this is the right place to put this, but I sure didn't want to start a new thread for just this. I haven't seen too many Xeon x3440 overclocks, so here's some of the playing around with this chip that I have done. I believe my chip, which is of the batch L952B92B, is at best an average chip, if not below average. It takes quite a bit of voltage which the few o/c's I've seen of this x3440 don't seem to need. But my rig is 100% stable so far, and that's the best you can do, I have not folded for 6 months and even then, how can you be sure?
Now I like this MSI GD65 I got to put the x3440 in but it will ramp the voltage .05v if you enable LLC and lose about that if you don't. Maybe I'll get a meter and check this next payday. (Blew my old one up. Just like that GTX280 I'm using as a brick. And the DFI... and into infinty, I've come to the conclusion that once you let the smoke out of things they are dead, therefore smoke is the essence of life.) But I like the G-skill Ripjaws 1600 7-8-7-24 better. But maybe all DDR3 overclocks like this, these are the first sticks of DDR3 I've had.
Let's get to it, this is as far as I got on stock voltages and memory settings
http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8...oltageinte.png
Here's a screeny of the overclock I've settled for, as you can see this motherboard allows you to get a 20 multipler and ramp it to 22 if you leave the C-states enabled. You can disable the C-states and the turbo mode won't kick in leaving the chip with a 20 multi. I'm using the turbo. Plus I have kept the voltages at the Intel spec that says, if I got this right, you can run and if someting goes wrong your chip will still work at stock settings. There is an absolute limit that Intel specs a little higher but if something goes haywire the chip may not recover.
Ther's three things about this screeny I should point out. 1) For me the single thread IBT burn is the most stressful of all. 2) A 25x IBT stable burn can fail in OCCT witin 1/2hr, but it seems that 2 hrs of an OCCT burn and it's stable for 12, so far. 3) See the three different multipliers for the cpu, weird huh? Not counting the memory benchmark. Enough here's the screeny...
http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/7119/36turbox.png
Here's the bios shots...

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/2302/004pek.jpg
http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3182/005ett.jpg
All right here's the screen shot everyone wants, the suicide shot. I know it's pretty lame for XS but I'm a wuss. Plus I don't have the smackaroo's to replace whatever would fry if I pushed too hard. This chip may go higher and you may get it stable or close here, but I'm never going to run her this hot so this is just for show...
http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/1017/suicideshot.png
Now i have a question for the smart people that roam here in these Intel blue pastures. Remember the 3 different multi's in a previous screeny? What's up with that? And this is a screeny that was taken in one shot, but I'm getting two different QPI clocks, can any one explain this? And which is right?
http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8...ichisright.jpg
^^^ I can only assume that the 3 different multis are related to C-state being enabled in BIOS? The X3440 has x19-native; x20 turbo; x21 C-state for up to two threads; x22 C-state for single thread. I have a x3440 running/crunching in my "daily driver" email rig at 18x200 while 19x215 was about as high as I pushed the chip...

My current sustainable OC looks like
http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...Xwr9A/3980.jpg
but in all honesty it spends most of its time looking like
http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...9RqQ/turbo.jpg
I say that 3980 is "sustainable" in that I can run it 24/7 and still keep both the voltages and temps within reason. The HSF is a MegaShadow w/Arctic Cool 54 cfm PMWs in push-pull - not a very high flow
http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/.../3980-CPU1.png
http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...3980-VCore.png
That's because currently I'm "on the move" and must rely on the system as my entire entertainment. The Caviars, for instance, hold my ripped music and DVD libraries (so I don't have to lug around literal cases of the stuff) and when in a motel room sitting right next to the comp a set of Scythes can be a little distracting.
The second screencap is essentially where the system's tuned for both a quieter run and to conserve energy over a complete OC. My MOBO has a cap on Turbo availability at 150 MHz BCLK, so in order to keep all of the CPU's feature set enabled I run it at 146 MHz. That 147.9 MHz you see is the result of frequency drift, and if I set it too close to 150 then even a quick in-and-out breaking 150 will suddenly disable Turbo. But I threw the CineBench in there to highlight the single-core performance.
The 3 GTX 260 (192)s are originally eVGA FTW models factory clocked at 666/1404/1107, but I've flashed them to 648/1404/1188 in order to run them at 1.0000V idle, 1.0375V 2D, 1.0500V 3D and 1.1500V boost - down considerably from reference. The fans are also reset to 65% on an automatic ramp-up to 100% at 84C in order to support a cooler 3-Way SLI configuration.
At any rate, when run like this the CPU's hottest core and VCore look like
http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...turbo-CPU1.png
http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...urbo-VCore.png
As to anything higher, I do have a bench setting for 4123 MHz that's very, very stable as well. But it needs a full 1.4V on both the CPU and the IMC to maintain it, and these 54 cfm fans won't let a LinPack drop below 90C, so I don't run it for any length of time if the load's going to be as intense. I do have a set of ThermalTake 112 cfm fans, which will allow me to keep the temps at the same level you see for 3980 - but that's not the set that's in there for the time being

:)
Up to 1.4V for daily use.
i experimented with LLC on and off. it seems when off(vdroop high) i have to put vcore high in the bios like 1.45. but when i test with linx, i notice the vcore go down in cpu-z while at its highest temps. for example, cpu-z shows core voltage at 1.408, then once i start testing with linx, it goes down to 1.328. now when i enabled LLC (vdroop low), i would have to set vcore at around 1.30 in bios. then i test w/ linx and i notice core voltage going up over 1.40. also, temps are about 5-10 degrees higher w/ LLC enabled. i am kinda confused about these discrepancies. which do i take as most accurate? i know most people say not to go above 1.40 w/ vcore. but when i disable LLC, i have to set around 1.45, but in windows you see it go down. the opposite occurs when i enable LLC and set a lower vcore in bios.
my system is
msi p55-gd80 bios 1.8
venemous-x; scythe flex-e push/pull
4 gigs of gskill ddr3 trident 1600, timings are 2-2-2-8
evga gtx 480
bfg gtx 260 for physX
LLC works differently across motherboards. Some boards boost vcore pretty high, and then others stay within +-0.02 vcore. There is no factual chip killing voltage to stay under either. Even at 1.4v you could toast an i7 860 CPU, so 1.4v can be misleading but it is safe to say this is just more of a guideline to follow. Because it's not very common to have a chip crap out at 1.4vcore.

I just have one doubt, because I don´t know if I understood this right.
Is it correct, that the QPI Link should be 2 times the speed of the RAM?
As I understand it, You are running QPI 3367,5 with a BCLK 210,5 (3367,5 div 210,5 = 16) what tells me, that You use the slower QPI.
The other Option in the Bios is 210 * 18 = QPI 3780 Mhz. This was good for a Memory speed of 1890 Mhz.
Here now my doubt:
- Does a Memory speed higher than the QPI speed (like in Your case) bring any better performance?
- Was it not better if You would set the higher QPI Speed?
at high overclock you must lower the QPI, it might go beyond the overall performance if it is too high
if you run whit high overclock
MSI OC tabel to I7 860/870
AIR /AIR+watercooling /water... / Water... Dise / LN2
Hi guys! Today I finally received the Maximus 3 Formula and the i7 860. BTW, the batch/fpo is L003B720. Does anyone know if is it a good batch? Hope it is :p
Tomorrow I will try to put all together and see what can I do with a Venomous-X.
Just as an information, in case of somebody didn't see it.
In June 2010 Intel has updated the absolute minimum and maximum ratings for I7-800 and I5-700 CPU´s.

Not sure what you are doubting here, if it's the MaxxMem2 bandwidth results then what would you say for this result with a much lower RAM clock? Or are you trying to say higher RAM clocks aren't worth it. :shrug:Quote:

Hey guys, I have seen several users with M3F and with great OC on theirs 860's. What advice can you give me for a nice 24/7?
@some_one
I try to understand, if a memory speed higher then QPI Speed still brings any better bandwidth.
@Pekalion
For me a nice 24/7 setting is, when I can OC my CPU without using too much Voltages on IMC and VCore, but still have a good result.
For my case I found out, that 3,86 Ghz runs nice and cool with a small adjustment and 4,0Ghz need much more VCore.
As I don´t feel any difference in my daily use between 3,86 Ghz and 4,0Ghz, I keep running with 3,86 Ghz.
On the other side, every CPU is different and other people have other 24/7 settings.
I know a lot of people who just OC for benching until 4,xGhz but 24/7 they run stock.
To be honest, I even don´t feel a difference between stock and 3,86 Ghz.
Martin.v.r, can you please advise your exact settings in the bios, I have the same MB and CPU, but I can not get the same results as you, if you don't mind please share, thank you in advance.
Hi there!!
Im upgrade from an i5-750 to i7-860 with asus p7p55d premium and i can say im very glad, but i cant undestand why at cinebench r11.5 i get low scores:confused:
At stock i have 4.86 and as i see at cinebench cpu ranking it says 5.06 for a stock i7-860.
Also i see people with i7-860 at 4.1 has score 7.1-7.2 and i get 6.70-6.80.
Can anyone help??
Sorry for the late answer! Thanks a lot Mikel!Quote:

Anyway, as soon I reach home I will give a try with that Bios and see what can I get.
I got a vid of 1.184v, is that ok for the 860?
To trentbg
I got a bad cpu is vcore hungry
but try these voltset I showed in the photograph to find no two motherboards/cpu/mem ther are identical ;)
MEM set B2B test from 0 to 6
I think I have here the worst clocking 860 in the history of time! Three lap jobs later (Yes, three... 20+ c drop under load from stock at over 1.3v), and 1.392v through the thing gets me tentative stability at 4ghz, doing smallFFT at 84-86-83-85 with my megahalems.
I use watercooling
Temp idel 35/37c an load is 52/54c rum temp 20c

Are you referring to the picture of your motherboard and the volts showing on your volt meter or the excel screen shot that shows the information based on the MSI instructions for the board?
I just need your settings in the bios i.e. what do you have in:
CPU voltage
CPU VTT
Memory voltage
Spread Spectrum
Please advise.
uhmmm
guys help
my sys
i7 860
p55a ud6 bios f9
gskill ripjaws 2000 cl9
hd4850 1gb
enermax 525 pro82+
now
setting:
183blck x 21x ratio
vcore 1.248v
vtt 1.22v
vdimm real 1.62v
other voltage default
vga 725/1000 (stable i'm sure)
now, i pass all test with this setting, prime95, linx (all ram) and memtest
i run that test more time, always without problem BUT
when i play , randomly the sys crash with bsod (hal.dll 12903 error
124) uff
now i have try to upper vtt @ 1.24v, i think that the problem can be pci-e
controller and relative voltage
what do u think ?
ALL bsod was appared in gaming
with 1.20v i'm sure that the systems isn't 100% stable (linx low gigaflops) but with 1.22 it runs ok :(
is it possible that i must set 1.24v for only 183mhz?
mmm
i try to run my system @ 193mhz of bclk
1.26v vtt, same clock of cpu therefore same voltage for cpu
ram 1930 7 8 7
memtest, linx ok
prime95, bsod 124 12903 after 30-40 min.
why? vtt? but 1.26v for 193 i think is good ... :\
probably needs more vtt, give it 1.3 and go from there.Quote:

or not?
i can run 3850mhz with 1.248v (and it's good) but with vtt...
now i will try @ 200mhz of blck (in this way i can set my ram @ 2000mhz ...) but uff ... i don't like vtt so high
new I7 860 underway to me,should overclock up to 4.5 with water cooling, and run vantage
@Martin.v.r
4.5Ghz with an i7-860? Without HT maybe (what makes him an I5). Anything else I only believe, if I see it.
new cpu an new voltset
there is a great sping whit vCore / PLL / vtt from old cpu to the new cpu

@Martin.v.r
Very nice! You really Push him to the Limit.
What temperatures You have and what VCore would he use for 4Ghz and Linx, what would be maybe good for 24/7?
Also if You like, tell me Your other Voltages like IMC and PLL.
ty :)
idle temp is 35/38c
vcore 1.440
vtt 1.460
Pll 1.810
4.4 new 24/7 use,next I test 4.5 ;)
EU/Denmark temp 21/22c in the house,outside it is 13/16c
Your VTT is WAY too high mate.
drove a year with my old cpu with long hear Vcore / VTT also whit watercooling, without taking damage.
the old cpu ned 1.488 to do 4.2GHZ
Strange, I could do 240MHz BCLK with 1.475V VTT I believe.
I've only had it in one day, so I must just getting to know the new voltset on this CPU ;)
new set is
vcore 1.440/1.456
PLL 1.810
vtt 1.410
to 4.4GHZ

Martin.v.r, are those settings, what you have in the BIOS or what the GPU-Z is showing you?Quote:
new set is
vcore 1.440/1.456
PLL 1.810
vtt 1.410
And do you have set for memory volts and freq.
Vcore not fit in the bios on my motherboard, but CPU_Z shows the same as I can measure on my motherboard, and it is only Vcore with the error
bios set 1.506 = true 1.440v /1.512 = true 1.456v
may happen that other people have the mistaken/error with the motherboard.
otherwise,I have again error whit voltset on my motherboard.
I tried with all BIOS, it has not removed the vcore bug.
I got an new beta bios to day,but my Vcore bug, is still here

I have also had problems with Blck with this cpu, hoping the new beta bios can help.
one to perfecting it looks good, have just driven 210 Blck, I could not Regt before.
my old cpu, could Blck 230 but max 4.3GHZ at 1.56v. man MAX whit DISE 4.4GHZ:(
I'm very glad that had a CPU that will overclock high at low Vcore, but perhaps not a good blck, but now I play with the new bios, so let's see
4.420 multi 21x210 vcore 1.464 Watercooling/MSI GTX480N AIR Cooling
http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/441/28778.png
As with Dise I can only hope that it will do 210+ x24 :D
i know the feeling,with my second i3-530 it did 4.5GHz w/1.36v vcore but needed 1.40v vtt for 215bclk.
its a rare thing to have both a low vid chip and a strong IMC with low vtt.i had it with the first i3-530
but now i regret selling it:D
real strange problem !
with my sistem
i7 860
p55a ud6 bios f11
gskill 2000 cl9
@ bclk di 183mhz and ram at 10x therefore 1830mhz i can set timings @ 7 8 7 20 1t, 7 8 7 24 1t and 6 8 6 24 1t
the problem is that i can't see difference in bandwith between 7 8 7 24 1t and 6 8 6 24 1t
same read, same latency with everest
why ? is it possible that memory controller limited my ram?
use you turbo mod ?
yes my m.c. is in turbo modeQuote:
