Nice CPU batch 3838B079

H2O

**initialised** · 05-19-2009, 05:34 AM

My new Intel engineering sample turned up today.

It's on the testbench now

**globi-wan** · 06-03-2009, 09:13 AM

is it safe to keep (24/7) i920 D0 on vcore1.31v and vtt also 1.31v?????

Don't speak Chinese bro.

Um, hi, I have recently built an i7 setup. But I 'm totally noob when it comes to overclocking an i7 920 cpu. I managed to clock it to 4ghz at 1.4v though which was not too difficult to do (at all lol). So, I would like to know, if the temps under the prime stress hit 80C degrees are those temps acceptable or not for this cpu?... Thanks.

Hi all
i try finde any info about i7 920 batch 3910a305
but i cant??
any body know some thing??

tks for any info.

sorry for my english

**misho** · 08-27-2009, 12:37 PM

Hey guys, so I am getting an i7 920. What batch should I go for?? The one that gets high stable clocks 4Ghz to 4.5Ghz?

Thanks

**laragirl83** · 09-20-2009, 04:55 AM

Got my 920 today, FPO 3924A346.
Any intel on this series?

**Le Titi** · 10-05-2009, 01:47 AM

I test my I7 920 D0 3837A765

at 4113

at 4523

**SteveLord** · 10-27-2009, 06:58 PM

Everything still doing 4ghz at least on AIR ????

**sagartotal3ds** · 11-01-2009, 07:52 PM

Cool

**Chillerzero** · 11-12-2009, 10:11 AM

i think it eats to much Vcore on air.

**cstkl1** · 11-12-2009, 09:07 PM

ok here is a table for u guys to understand

take note its only possible to find ure scaling and vtt/dram ratio and vtt/vcore ration when u have a very strong confirmed base

for mine after 4-5 boards
my bclk 200 confirmed

if u notice the downward/upward trend is to maintain the scaling
if i change and confirm one voltage i need to adjust the other two to make sure it stays on that trend

also this is how i also sometime question ppl voltages when they post a setting without a screenshot that goes against this trend.
the trend is like ure upper/lower limits.

Nehalem processors code-named Bloomfield (Core i7) have four physical processor cores and a triple-channel DDR3 memory controller.A new processor deserves a new motherboard, so a new chipset is announced today as well; the x58 chipset.The new Core i7 processor has 1366 pins and as a result the size of the processor, socket and heat sink mounting brackets are all larger than LGA 775 based processors that have been out now for a couple of years. The die size of Core i7 processors is 263 mm2 and the transistor count is 731 Million.

how do we know that the prosesor we have is good batch?

Batches are no longer a very accurate indicator of a chip's potential. You will never truly know until you pop it in a give it a run. However, there are lists compiled here on XS with batch #s and corresponding overclocks.

Just a note, but you should not exceed 1.65v for the DRAM.

You could exceed 1.65V for DRAM, if you keep it less then 0.5V higher then CPU VTT (vDIMM=1.7V --> VTT>1.2V, vDIMM=1.75 --> VTT>1.25, vDIMM=1.8 --> VTT>1.3, etc.)
