Here's my best so far but it got hot as hell, up to 95 degrees on core 0. That was running Prime95 that was stable for 2 hours. I tried to find a lower Vcore / QPI combination but all I've got is blue and black screens.

wtf.. you're using a true, 3.8ghz and hitting 95ºC?
isn't that too much?
it's only 1.4v
I meant to fit the LGA1366 holes, they're wider than 775. I haven't seen a version of the V8 that fits 1366.Quote:

I have spoked to several people who sell the TRUE, all say the base problem is on most of them, especially the IFX 14.
and some pi action with stock i7 cooler..

How much of a performance hit would I take used an old DDR 3 1600 2 x 2Gb kit vs triple channel?
anyone got a prime95 run yet?
whats max tempie for this babies?
scales well from dc to tc, you'll see about 2/3 the bw of a tri-chan config.Quote:

sorry for running out of topic, I'm just really curious as to how hot is the i7
Water cooling mine with dtek fuzion (old model) and a very ugly 30 minute homemade 1366 bracket (awaiting real ones), temps max 68C under linpack, 66C prime smallffts. 4ghz looks like will be pretty easy to get stable, but just started testing few hours ago. Way too many numbers to play with, going to take a while to figure out what I am doing.
Interesting. These sticks I have now are rated @ 7-7-7-18 1.9v. I really don't want dump that voltage on X58. Wonder if they would be stable @ something like 8-8-8-24, or 9-9-9-24 1.65v.Quote:

I finally got RealTemp sorted out today so it should work correctly with Core i7 now. Version 2.86 is available here:

VID has changed in Core i7 so I need to do some more reading and testing to get that working correctly.
There are retention brackets for the 1366 at coolermaster.com for the V8. Contact Coolermaster support and buy some if thats the reason your not making good contact. until then put your tower on it's side and put something heavy on the V8 and downclock your CPU until your shipment for those brackets come in.Quote:

Here's 12 hours of Prime95. The max core temp has been 79 degrees.

interesting, is HT really usefull for non benchers ?
yeah i know what the booklet that comes with the 920 says but it's nowhere near it's TJMax. intel just released the Core2 Duo TJ Max's 2 weeks ago ... i think these chips can handle a bit more heat than the core 2 duo seriesQuote:

The interface is the same for both CPU, and I use WinRing0 driver now (unstead tvicport in memset).
I keep memset for chipsets with integrated memory controller (P35, P45...) and athlon64.

First thing I see is that it says 2x2GB even though it's 3x.
4ghz (4.2 turbo) for 24/7 prime stable, linpack on max stable 60. Need 1366 WB to try higher 24/7.
Both pics same settings.
Turbo enabled, loadline off

Vtt 1.30 with uncore 18x
QPI 36x
Vdimm 1.62, mem 8, 8, 8 24 (cpuz 1.48.5 bug says CAS 7, it is 8)
question regarding smart fan on the gigabyte x58 board...can you control the temperature values at which smart fan kicks in and /or the fan speed? Or, can you only enable/disable smart fan function and the actual profile is fixed?Quote:

The flashing process wasn't smooth as some of the options weren't available on the first few boots but eventually that got squared away. Now when I try to oc I haven't been able to get SuperPI to complete its run. I've changed the voltages but I haven't found any that will work.
I had 0805 up to 3.8 GHz Prime95 stable for over 12 hours. I'm about ready to flash back to 0805.
Question... what cooling are you guys reaching 4+ using? Are you air or water? And of those what brand?
I'd love to know what kind of cooling you needed to break 4.0ghz....
most likely on water or better, air dont cuts it for 4ghz+.Quote:

Water,PA120.3, 3 yates 1300rpms, ambient 26C, homemade ugly bracket on DTek v1 (pic)
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...5&postcount=19
4ghz prime temps are 70C w/ load vcore 1.31 after 9 hrs small ffts. At 4.2 and higher, temps get toasty on load...just starting to bench now, will await new waterblock for higher mhz prime.
Interestingly, the turbo mode does not affect stability, despite being at 4.2 ghz...and this is likely from less vdroop with only 1 core loaded.
When more than one core loaded, no turbo, and 8 instances prime 4ghz is 9hrs small ffts stable w/ 1.31 load vcore (post 331).
When only one core loaded turbo kicks in to 4.2, but vdroop is to only 1.344 vcore (decreased load of one core), which is enough for that core at 4.2 (4.186 mhz turbo core 1 23x182) to be prime/orthos small ffts stable, tested by using taskbar to run prime/orthos small ffts w/affinity set to core 0,1 of 8.
I can leave turbo enabled, and get extra boost to 4.2 on single core tasks.
So basically if your OC is stable with turbo mode off, there's no reason not to turn it on?Quote:
Originally Posted by rge
I would bet that is the case for most, if not all. Mine is definitely that way, going from 4 to turbo 4.2 or 4.1 to turbo 4.3. The vdroop is so much less with one core + running one core is easier to overclock. It might not hold true if overclocking all cores to 4.4 or so, ie if turbo reaches past limit of chip, also if put loadline on may alter things, have not tried that yet.Quote:

Care must be taken to avoid any uneven pressure. It's a laborious process.
It also could be that the IHS is not flat, but that gets into seriously voiding your warranty. If that's not a concern lapping may help. Some have reported bad Thermal Interfaces.
Saying that I am definitle going water whether I have a cool running CPU on air or not. I'm one of the "cooler is better" crowd, and even if it would do 4GHz on stock air, I know that it might do 4.5 on water. I'm not expecting that much, but if I were to get it that would be great. I already have some of the parts here for water, but will testing first with air. After studying water cooling I sriously belive it's a more efficient way of cooling. It just takes a bit more care.
How do you like that combo, i have everythingQuote:

Man, I am hoping that it is not the IHS. With AMD I had no problem because I'd just pry off the IHS and cool the CPU directly, but with a $700 CAD CPU I am not about to even attempt this...makes a huge temp difference though, at least on AMD's parts. In terms of the stock cooler, meh, I do not want to bother lapping it. That one's gonna go anyway. I hate crappy push-pin heatsinks. The one that comes with the Core i7 920 and 940 is even lousier than the one shipping with the Core i7 965.Quote:

If I can get a 4GHz 4 core/8 thread stable OC I will be more than happy. I do agree though that water cooling is the way to go. It's just a bit $$$ for good parts.
By the way, you can tighten those timings on the Dominator sticks. I have the same ones, but my timings are 7-7-7-16 at 1603MHz, 1.65V :)
Check out my thread on 920/P6T OCing... StrangerS got his rig to 4.2ghz on air and posted all the details up there. So we all now know it is possible.Quote:

Also, if I am raising the divider I cannot boot, not even with CAS9 or anything and low BCLK. Have any of you experienced any simulair?
Screenie with stock cooler:
http://loppmarknader.se/blossas_albu...222_stabil.JPG
cpuz doesnt read cas ok all the time, should be fixed soon.
Ok, so it is not directly related to just Gigabyte-motherboard then I guess... Strange though that same CAS-setting changes within cpu-z depending on BCLK.
Thanks for your reply. :)
The spd button now works for me.:D The CPU-Z Timing Table doesn't match with yours but is either wrong?Quote:

btw....does anyone know if qpi pll helps to stabilize qpi, if overclocking qpi (from necessity at higher base clock b/c not enough qpi dividers)?
And anyone know why not more lower qpi dividers, need to have 30x and maybe 26,24x?...not to mention mem divider I need is 9:2.
Hi
yes had uncore @ 2x mem divder & qpi @36
will try higher qpi voltage
will not start pushing it until get 1366 bracket for fuzion 1 or may be new water block:rolleyes:

some quick tests at 1.4Vcore load on SS...
1.275 Vqpi,1.8Vmem...
for some reason cpu-z shows only 4 threads not 8.

Did you setup the new system with a clean OS and set ACPI Multiprocessor PC?

Thanks!
OK, you're good then. In nLite you can set that ACPI stuff in the "pre-setup" or whatever they call it. If you see 8 in the Device manager the OS is working correctly. Just was checking to be sure the OS was configured right. It is. It has to be right or it wouldn't show all 8 in the device manager.Quote:

Hi
been testing 920 Costa rica A

Qpi =1.28
Dram =1.64
Turbo mode enabled
mem is run @ 1520 (not too bad)
but have made mistake of geting corsair 1333 tri channel
should have gone for 1600
if i lower the mem x to 6 and uncore to 12 so 200 x6 =1200
computer will not boot
thanks to gligly for orginal advise on volts

Loadline ON 1.35v bios, 1.328 idle, 1.31v load is small ffts stable (12+hrs, pic below)
Loadline OFF 1.39 bios, 1.36 idle, 1.31 load is small ffts stable (9+hrs, pic previous post)
overshoot should be .08v from 1.31v in both cases (if GB followed intel recommendations and overshoot =bios setting loadline off - load v)....so for me LOADLINE ON FTW.

The MSI does allow control of that voltage but it does not ever show what it is in BIOS. The auto setting for CPU voltage does not work correctly when over clocking so I do not trust the QPI voltage to the AUTO setting. Thank you.
I didn't notice this before but CPU-Tweaker 1.0 beta2 shows the Bus @ 195.6MHz along with some other changes.Quote:

I then checked the stock setting and now CPU-Tweaker shows the Bus @ 137.6MHz.
BIOS Settings:

I looks like that CPU-Tweaker is adding 4-5MHz to the BCLK BIOS setting. Now am I the only one that is seeing this?
