EVA, 3.9GHz @ 1.344v seems a bit too high for a D0. I've seen most of them getting 4GHz+ on about 1.25v. Have you tried lowering that voltage?
I got 4GHz (20x200) on my C0 at 1.3750v (BIOS) and 1.344v (CPU-Z idle). That was with HT off.

Looks like indeed vcore was a HyperPi 8x 32MB test related as I ran the following 4000Mhz at 1.312v (haven't tried lower vcore yet) without problems

:up: Hi!
Does anyone have a i7 920 whit GSKILL 6GB 2000MHZ TRIDENT (CL9) on a Asus P6T Deluxe, i can`t even boot whit this memorys.
Whit my old memory, Corsair 1600, i have 920-3800-> corsair 8.8.8.24@7.7.7.20->OK.
Can someone help me, please??
Ty :up:
PS-> Sorry my Bad English.
It really depends on your CPU and its integrated memory controller.
Try raising the VTT voltage, it should help.
Probably almost a million people already had DO 920 in their system. What confidential you are talking about.Quote:

very good job roller, what are you using to cool it? THats a heck of a clock.
Here is what I ended up with after testing, W3520/760/Corsair GT cas 8 6Gb, and 2-Sapphire 4870x2 with Swiftech Caldera water blocks with modded bios no volt mods. Most of these where done on the OCZ Cyro Z but I did try the F1 Kingpin pot once I seem to have a coldbug around -68c so not much better scores or clocks than the SS. This is Windows 7 64 bit RC1 no tweaks...

When cold bug caused no reboot, how did you fix? Did you just wait for it to warm up? Also, were the status LEDs dark, or some error code?
Yea I just waited a few minutes, kept pushing the reset button as it warmed up until it come on. LEDs status was hung on FF if I remember correctly. I already new there was a good chance of cold bug as I have read plenty about it and had the same problem on my Gigabyte board the first time I used LN2. I learned from the first time to take the temps down slowly instead of dumping LN2 in until it was down to -180. May not be the right way but I am new to LN2...Quote:

roller, these are some good questions you are answering. I have been trying for a while to find my way into extreme cooling so these are things I would like to know. Thanks :up:
...and thank you roadrunner for the answers :)
I dont know how others do it, I just took a screw driver and stuck it in between the insulation and the F1 to pull the insulation away for a minute to shove the wire down in there as far as I could. On the SS I ran in through the eraser and had it laying on that lower part of the heat spreader, I am new at sub zero cooling though... :shrug:Quote:

Chicken Patty, I am on water, PA 120.3 6 1400-1500 rpm fans push/pull, dedicated cpu loop, air intake 26.2C, water temps after 13 hrs prime were 32.1C, so 5.9C air to water delta. CPU gradient from core to water is crazy 50C,...10C higher than my i940.
hmm why did I miss that :rofl:Quote:

Heatkiller might give me 1-2C better temps, my air to water delta is already low at 5.9C, best I can do with quad rad, etc would be another ~2C there. Might get 4-5C better temps. Real problem is water to cpu gradient which cant do much about, unless IHS is making bad contact from shape, but again probably talking a few C at max I could gain...though it would all add up. I reseated several times all with same temps.Quote:

Since the IHS on i7 are soldered I though that might ensure good heat transfer between core and IHS, so maybe the people reporting those bad temp just have really bad IHS? Or might it be a matter of mounting pressure? So if I lap that W3520, put Coollaboratory on as TIM and somehow manage to get higher mounting pressure, would I still be in for bad load temps? (btw, would it be better to get the D-Tek mounting kit or is something else more pratical to raise the pressure, if that's even needed)
Edit: Any thoughts on this batch btw: 3848A365 ?
Geez.. this D0 stepping is HOT..
With my C0 I could use 4.2 HT On with 1.46V and temps ok... with this D0 anything above 1.4V temps get way out of hand... And what sucks the most, is that I can't bench with more than 4.378GHz...
My watercooler is on its way.. when its done, will post here better clocks hopefully..
finally got my voltages and temps under control.

You, with dual rads, you might be fine, but still you'll notice that at one point or another that it still kicks the rads ass.Quote:

Very nice ;) Can't you lower the VCORE a bit more?
Dont know yet:P Its stabil on 1,2v on 4ghz, and i run 20 min on 1,23 on 4,2. So i will try some more tomorrow and will of course post it here;)
And i used 1.27 on vtt on 4,2.
And that AC-waterblock isnt good to take the heat, so i will get a new top and 1366-mounting to my Gtx block in the end of the month...i think the temps wil get better then.
What vtt did you use?
Multi: 21
BCLK: 200
Vcore: 1.21v (bios)
Cpu Pll: 1.81v
QPI: 1.20V
Rams: TeamElite 1333Mhz Cl9 1.5v @ 1600Mhz cl9 1.55v
This memory rocks, they clock nicely even with low voltage
On Rampage II Extreme :up:
very nice! i should be able to do 4.2 @ 1.2v too, or at l at least i hope. i'm stable at 1.152v @ 180bclk x21. 185 bclk would not boot so time to boost the volts!Quote:

i940 at 4.3 ghz, 1.49 vcore, pulls 224W per everest, 590W per kill-o-watt meter for computer, load temps were 87C.
i950 at 4.3 ghz, 1.49 vcore pulls 278W per everest, 650W computer, load temps 98C within few seconds, would no doubt go higher....(only need 1.3 vcore for 4.3ghz on this D0 but used 1.49 for apples to apples comparison)
Temps measured by realtemp, TDP per everest and k/w meter in manner seen here
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...52&postcount=5
When trying to cool 278W from small point source like cpu, the gradient from water (30C) to core (98C) is 68C. So even if kept water temp at 30C with massive rad (5C over ambient for me), cpu is still going to be 98C under those circumstances...unless you improve waterblock or thermal transfer from WB to IHS.
May need to solder my waterblock to IHS for 80W/M*K instead of 2-4 W/M*K of paste:rofl:.
At one point, I thought maybe my i950 had bad solder attachment of IHS, but comparing TDP to TDP, temps are similar, this chip is simply pulling more watts given the exact same settings, and hence putting out more heat.
Running this thing at 4500 to 4600 you can easily get into 300+W load if vcore is high enough, so definitely using biggest rad, best WB, best fans possible within ur noise limits, to fight for every degree helps.
wondering which fans could I use to improve a bit more I have the flex F's now
nice, thanks a lot for this info man. So crazy how to CPU's at the same settings can pull soo much more power heh? I7's need all the cooling you can get, they are monsters!Quote:

NICE!! Keep pushin' it. :) Pics?
i'm curious to see how my custom watercooling will handle my I7 C0. I have a Mora Waterblock lying outside on the roof and i use a 5l bottle of destilled water as resevoir (also on the roof). And the Pump and the Rest is behind the wall where my PC is rested in another room, so yeah i really have a silent CPU i hear nuttin. I will use my Enzotech CPU Cooler on the I7.
Right now with my current 775 setup my water temp stays very cool. Right now I'm at 17,8 (meassured with aquastream XT). And if i put load on my CPU the water temp rises only about 5 degrees. At 4GHz the Q9550 reaches max temps of 42 with prime running. If i add my GTX 280 to it the water temp can rise about another 5 degrees but normaly its maxed out at 31 water temp.
Hope the I7 will put my water circle to the test.
it sure will. You are in for a surprise. Hope your setup can take it. alot of people have had to upgrade their water setups for the i7. I did.Quote:

But heck i'm up for whatever comes. And if the I7 C0 is too hot for me i will directly put it on ebay and get a D0.
Elektro: D0 can be hotter then C0 just so you know, D0 does use less volt but some of they are made in hell i think:P
I have also noticed that. Less voltage, but run hotter :rolleyes:Quote:

How cold is it where you live? Your ambient temps must be insanely cold to get that low of a temperature on 360mm thin radiator with a 4870 in the same loop. What, do you dump the rads in ice water?Quote:

You can pretty much gauge ambients by looking at RT minimum which usually = idle temp. Load TDP varies significantly chip to chip, idle watts however is similar just because 10-20% difference at idle is still only a few watts.
Stock, idle, power savings, undervolted the best you can get is about 6-8C over ambient on i7 with water, or ambient is RT minimum temp - 6-8C on most.
At 4.2 and 1.25vcore you will be idling at ~25W, and gradient will be >12C over ambient, or ambient is at least 12-14C below RT minimum temp.
At 4.5 and 1.42Vcore idle will be at ~50W and core temps at least 16C over ambient, or ambient is at least 16C below RT minimum temp.
Does not work perfectly as above in all...but it will be reasonably close.
RGE, can you explain the above in more simple words. not familiar with what you mean by gradient. Maybe thats what is throwing me off.Quote:

Here is thermal imaging of gradient from hot core to cooler area, see figure 2.
http://domino.watson.ibm.com/comm/re...nnovation.html
And here is a pic (from stanford paper) of sensor graph of pentium showing gradient or temp differential, in this case from hot spot to ambient (38C) on pentium at ~78W load.
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/7...mpgradpent.jpg
Intel defines this gradient with a formula based on TDP. Higher watts, the higher the gradient or temperature difference between hot core and ambient.
At even 3-6 watts, undervolted, idle, underclocked, there will be still at least a 6-8C difference or gradient between hot core and ambient, for example 28-30C core would be ~ 22C ambient, given excellent cooling/water or very high end air/fans.
When you get up to ~45+ watts, for example core i7 D0 at idle, 1.4 vcore, 4.4+ghz, there will be a minimum gradient or temperature difference between hottest core and ambient of at least ~15-18C.
For example if I boot up at 4.5ghz, 1.4 vcore my average realtemp idle temperature of 4 cores is 44C. My ambient intake temps is 27C, so I have a 17C temperature difference (or gradient) from core to ambient, which is typical for 50 Watts. Others maybe ~10-20% difference, ie few C one way or another given similar cooling. But not possible to have for example an 6-8C temp difference between idle core and ambient (gradient core to ambient) for 40-50W.
The data sheet for the Core i7 CPUs shows this linear relationship. As the watts go up, so does the Tcase temperature which is the temperature measured at the center of your CPU. This graph is based on the OEM cooler. With after market cooling or water, the slope of the line will be different but the relationship will stay the same. More watts = higher temps.
Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Extreme Edition and Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Datasheet, Volume 1
June 2009 p.73
http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8...malprofile.png
When running a stress program like Prime 95 Small FFTs, the core temperature can be a good 20C beyond the Tcase temperature.
thanks guys. Now I understand exactly what you mean :D
so for example in below screen shot. THe average between all four cores is 42ºc. My ambient on the CPU right now is 29ºc. This means I have a gradient of 13ºc??? this is idle of course.
http://img.techpowerup.org/090613/Capture275.jpg
chicken patty, yep you got it, and that is typical ambient to core gradient at that OC.
And thanks unclewebb for the graph, makes it clearer.
