road to 5Ghz with non extreme I7

Mojo Family
We are going to buy some Ln2 in a big Gas Company near of home and our son Adrian will meet the LN2 for the first time in his life hehehehe

I never seen before ,its about three tanks with 60000Lt of LN2 but i have no money to blow .... well ,a small part is enough for us ->20lt :D

Well i had no much LN2 left ,just enough for few runs and a screen

I was so close to 5GHz :(

I will try again at later time ^^

Good Job Criminal ^^ :up:

4870's@over - adrenaline. :rolleyes:

exellent clocks !

and even better family action:up:

superb family actiond:D
my girl likes that little human:p:

Very nicely done!!...I really need to get my wife into overclocking :(

WoW.... nice job. :D nearly 5Ghz. :cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer: :clap:

Well done PcCI2iminal and Yoko. It's nice to see someone is close 5GHz with non-extreme i7. Keep pushing, your family rocks :up:

Nice to see all this :up:

Damn your son is a lucky bast... :D :D not unhandy by the way!!

Thanks for sharing settings and no need to say keep pushing:)

:clap:

Wow. Nice clocks and great team work, it seems! :up:
Most of the XEs have to fight hard to get to 4.9GHz... should be a really nice 940 IMHO.

amazing clocks on the 940!! You can hit 5Ghz, keep pushing!!!

Wow, I am speechless ! :yepp: Best family o/cing action I've ever seen :clap: :up:
5GHz are coming, I can smell it :p:

Great pictures and clocking my friend. :up:

Nice clock here on 920 & 940 :)

Very nice!!!

It seems Adrian brought more oc power for family! ^^

Fantastic results, and family!:yepp: My friend, you are very lucky!

well done ! PcCI2iminal :up:

looking forward for next results i think you can beat 5GHz on 940 sure ;)

Cheers :up:

thanks guys (from me , yoko and adrian heheh)

I will try agaio to hit the magic5 with a non extreme chip and the next time and i will use more ln2 than only 5lt maybe 60000lt hehehe

congrats.

That is some very nice clocks:clap:

5GHz is very near:up:

hey man that 920 you have is a killer chip
when we were comparing notes the other day i was like WTF that's pretty good....hehehe


i managed to get some half decent results with my chip..... took a screen at 4485MHz on water and maxing out at 221MHz bus speed for 4644 full bench stable 222 >> BSOD stable...erm yeah :rofl:

good job :)

thx guys , im working on it but those few Mhz seems much bigger than only 42MHz ....

mine is good for air but i forgot to say to you it has a low cold bug (-30) ,anyway i don't think is possible to hit 222MHz ,not with Rampage2 ,Gigabyte maybe?
what you know about the GA-X58-DS4 ?what the Gigabyte engineers said to you about the DS4?

i dont know what the difference is tbh

thx,i will try Gigabyte again , DS4 or DS5 but i dunno heheheh
the cheapest maybe :D

why
what do you think gigabyte will give you that R2 wont
you've got a nice board

btw try playing with your mounting...tighter/looser to see if cold bug changes :)

i love R2E and i will keep it for me but i am playin with R2 about a month and 221Mhz is all what i got i just think is time for a change and i will pick some cheap X58 :)

thx ,the next weekend will be my turn to play with 920 and i will try to do this

wow congrats PC!

60,000L LN2 tank :eek: how many extreme overclockers would it take to bleed that tank dry ? :D

ALOT :D

Quard core benching = 60000/4 Liters pr Hour = 15.000 hours Pr Quard core :D

Add a few GPU´s around 6 Liters pr Hour I think :D

Lets steal that tank and have a worldwide OC festival :hehe:

and we'll get the mad scottsman to be our DJ for a killer rave party while we're at it

maybe we should all travel to Japan
break into the factory at night and go wild with these plans :rofl:

LOL, guys :D :ROTF:

:eek: :clap::clap::clap:

im curious, your 920 bumps to 23x multiplier
without turn on c3/c6/c7(different way with gigabyte?)

Intel Speedstep tech - enable
Intel Turbo Mode tech - enable

Awesome action!!!
RESPECT for da youngest clocker :D

hey cute lil fella! :) awesome! overclocking now something the family does together. family bonding. cant get better than that!

that 60k L tank is just WICKED man...

just to clarify though if cold bug was around -30, then what temps were u running on?
