[Team.AU]Gigabyte X58-UD5 Core i7 920 Testing Frozen SS

[kayl]

Hey guys little Frozen SS cooling action I feel sorry for the poor i7 920



Test Configuration:
• Gigabyte X58-UD5 F4 bios
• Intel Core i7 920 retail chip 3837A902
• 3x1GB 1800MHz CAS7D DDR3 Corsair Dominators
• 1GB Gigabyte GTX280 Graphics Card (AIR)
• 1000W Silver Stone PSU
• Windows XP Pro 32bit SP2

Insulating with faber-Castell Art erasers ensured a air tight socket. My first run with normal insulation I got some condensation inside the socket after a few hours The 1366 socket is a lot bigger and its very hard to insulate with the erasers to ensure the socket is air tight.




Little faber-Castell Art erasers around the cpu head enclosure to ensure a air tight seal to the other service









And some pics of the Frozen SS im in the middle of tunning, these i7 cpu’s are heat monsters running hyper threading.

Wprime 1024Mb runs the PC was measuring 455w power draw from the mains socket using 1.48v @4434MHz 186sec. Hyper threading turned off power draw was only 370W and a fair bit slower even with the higher clocks: 4576Mhz @1.53v 260sec.








For 3dmark similar thing, a lot hotter running hyperthreading but not much difference in score overall. Hyperthreading gave a better result at a lower overclock.

Sweet runs man.

[Splave]

lover the erasers, sure beats neoprene and nail polish. So you dont even grease the socket huh? Killer runs

[Computerville]

Awesome work man! :P

[eva2000]

Nice start Kayl! Sure there's much more to come

[dinos22]

hey kayl
try using F4f bios
i find it easy to OC and its very efficient once you start tightening all the screws

also eva has a nifty trick for these 920s for max frequency and some superpi damage..might want to check out his thread

[TheKarmakazi]

Great job kayl, good to see you benching again! Run any 32M with this setup?

[chispy]

woops thanxs fatguy1992 and oliver
fixed now, wish my 3dmark03 score was as good as the pic i had hosted

[jcool]

Nice work man
I think I need to step up on my insulation.. for now I only used 3 neoprene gaskets

Still better then my score .

[ReverendMaynard]

gotchya on wprime by a few points with 300mhz less

Regardless your 920 is a fine example. 4.6ghz less than 1.5v is insane.
