248 bClk on Bloodrage & i7 920 @ 5.2Ghz

[The-Fox]

Tired of Classified ?
I Managed to clock quite nicely with this board, one of the highest bClk I have managed to see on a non classified board.

My shabby system:
- Intel Core i7 920 (Batch# 3850A795)
- Foxconn Bloodrage GTI (with PCI-E hardmod)
- Kingston HyperX T1 2000Mhz 6GB
- Coolermaster Silent Pro 700W PSU
- Dry Ice POT by Duniek, Semisolid (Temps about -65c/-60c)
- Some crappy VGA card and HDD.

Max Validation:



SuperPi 1M - 7.895s




SuperPi 8M - 1m29.297s




SuperPi 32M - 7m17.453s




PiFast - 16.42s




wPrime 32M - 4.827s



Some Shots from the end of the run:







Maybe some 3D benches later when I get a decent GFX card.

That's it for now folks

Véry impressive with the Bloodrage! You should be very proud

Brilliant OC results, Fox. Not only is your chip a clear winner, but you went the extra mile to document with all the pics and 2D tests we could ask for.
Two questions: where did you get the thermal probes, and what batch num?

Looking forward to some 3D results, nice job!

[vanovich]

Nice stuff.

Thanks massman, I am really proud.

The Pifast is 2nd for Core i7 920 on HWBOT and the SuperPi 1M is 5th Place for Core i7 920 on HWBOT.

Won my first cup and medal today (on hwbot), I feel so satisfied and finally I am filled with some OC spirit

Thanks for your kind words roller, you chip is still reigning in 1st Place on HWBOT, I wish I could put my chip on a classi and see what it can do.

The Probe is from a nice OCer who had too many thermometers, got it from him at a cheap price, too bad Fluke don't make this model anymore, cheap and reliable.

BTW, My CPU batch# is 3850A795, I always knew it is a 5Ghz+ chip, just couldn't get the right board to show it.

Wow very nice

Whats the WR for bclk?

[Hyperhorn]

Great result, very well done!
Did you test max. BCLK without hardmod?

[Bei Fei]

Just when I sold my BR this happens....

[yon1000]

great scores i've never seen some1 that got a higher score then a 5GHZ with a non classified

Thanks Hyperhorn

Without the hardmod the max bClk was ~229Mhz, so we can conclude that this mod is very effective

Just when I sold my BR this happens....

I hate to be the one who brings bad news lol

[jeffries7]

Oh damn that's impressive!!

I would do this mod but i haven't soldered anything since i was 12years old, don't wanna start now on my board

[zalbard]

Very nice results. Looks like this mod actually does wonders!

[ME4ME]

very impressive results!

how high was the pci-e? ...110mhz or something like that?

[Oliver]

sweet work , what did the board run defualt , without mod pci-e mhz wise , 103-105 ?

keep pushing it

[Hondacity]

impressive run

[Solarfall]

quite nice scores when its has seemed for the longest time that the bloodrage is pretty tricky and frustrating board to overclock, really awesome to see this board overclocking so nicely. keep tearing it up mate

[LiberalElephant]

Sexy time, very nice!

[Mescalamba]

And thats not even "full" Bloodrage. Just cutdown version.. wonder why noone tried this with full?

Very very nice results. Grats.

Ehm.. not sure if you mean some hardcore OC (L2N/DICE) but on air OCing is very easy.. never had any problem with board so far..

Maybe less trust in HardOCP?

[Oskaliber]

Amazing BCLK, good job

[jesperme]

Bloodrage damage! Nice scores!

[Sch0cK]

Nice work

229 without Hardmod
so i still have to find the last MHz on my BR

[The-Fox]

Thanks everybody for you kind words

very impressive results!

how high was the pci-e? ...110mhz or something like that?

I used various settings from 110Mhz-120Mhz though it doesn't seem to have any effect above 106-108Mhz, so I usually leave it at 116Mhz

sweet work , what did the board run default , without mod pci-e mhz wise , 103-105 ?

keep pushing it

Hey Oliver,
On Default the PCI-E is limited to 103.4Mhz which simply not enough to get the bClk juice

Nice work

229 without Hardmod

229Mhz was on cold buddy, air/water didn't cut it
Btw, check the QPI link mode=disabled, can get you some extra room with bClk, gave me almost 10Mhz alone.
Efficiency is not the best but clocks are very nice

[Juiced_IL]

respect

[saaya]

weeeee impressive!
you mean you disabled qpi fast mode?
and that gave you 10mhz higher bclocks? mhhhh gotta check if it works on air too
