OK. "Short end of the Uncore Stick". Trading Uncore for Core has always been a good transaction in my experience. :):)

It is always a balancing act.

Sorry to keep complicating the issue. However, many homes share a single 15 amp circuit across several rooms. You need to be aware of the "other" loads on your circuit. For example, my current home...

Get yourself a "Kill-a-Watt" meter & monitor the voltage as you add load. If your voltage drops significantly as you add load (watts), STOP. Voltage drops = resistance = heat = fire hazard.

Ref:...

Same here, on both counts.

Sorry to report that you may have the "short end of the stick".:)

I have limited "hands-on" experience with i7s (920C0, 920D0, 920D0 #2, 960D0). I have noted a...

Bummer.... What BIOS Rev are you on? What Mem Strap?

Make sure that your house wiring is in very good shape before you attempt to place this level of continuous load on it. Many older homes could have difficulty safely supporting 1800w from a single...

My chip scaled Inversely after +325. System stability went down the tubes with any more. Yes, I am also using DICE for benching. Looking forward to trying LN2.

Slightly OT. I have had better...

VTT is a closely related issue to Uncore Freq. I bench with VTT [+325]. I do not recommend this for 24/7.

My Uncore freq tops out at approx 4500Mhz. However, I am usually benching in the 4000-4100...

18x is no problem for me. I can not speak to improvement. I started with 61J & have been reluctant to move off of it.

Concured. S61J in a 760 has served me well for both 920s & 960s.

I suspect that the folks running 4.5GHz are using the current D0 stepping 920s. Your older C0/C1 stepping cpu is not likely to keep up with them. Sorry for the bad news...
The D0 stepping has...

Congratulations & THANK YOU for your continued service to the XS community. It is greatly appreciated.

I am glad that you are not a urologist!:)

Looking good. Glad it worked out for you. Enjoy.

Have you tried using RealTempGT? I believe that this is the version for the GulfTown chips.

P.S. It should be in the same folder as RealTemp, if you have a near current version. Uncle distributes...

This chip is definitly impressive. I am looking forward to LN2 results. An F1 & dewar are in route.
Thanks again for the help with the watermark tools.

& leave your network cable unplugged during this process. You do not want windows update to install drivers or patches for you in the middle of your trouble shooting..

All:
This is exactly the information I needed. Thank you. I will take the plunge in a few weeks & post the result here.
Best Regards,

Cold Boot Bug = Yes under DICE. I boot it at approx -40 & then drop more DICE.
Cold Bug = No @ DICE temps.

What is the average Cold Bug Temp for Bloomfields?

Given that all CPUs benefit somewhat differently to extreme cooling, what is the average core frequency gained when moving up from DICE to LN2?

My i7-960 is at 5511MHz on DICE for SP1M & I am...

DICE session #2 results follow. Very little progress to show. The end of the line, for DICE, is near. Maybe + 1 MHz of BCLK if I can keep it stable long enough for a screen shot.

Results of my first DICE run follow. I still have a lot to learn about this BIOS. I believe that there is more headroom remaining....

I am assuming that you are speaking of the 24 PIN ATX power connector.

It sounds like one or more of the pins in the 24 pin ATX power connector from the power supply is backing out of the plastic...

To which hardware settings have you found this metric to be the most sensitive ?
