252 BCLK on MSI Eclipse SLI + i7 920 D0 :: LN2

[SteelRat]

Hey fellas

it's my first topic here

Setup:

• Core i7 920 D0
• MSI Eclipse SLI (no mods) BIOS 1.8B1
• Danger Den Maze 4 on MB
• OCZ Platinum 1600 Low Voltage
• Thermaltake TP 600W
• CPU cooled by Team MXS "POT"
• XP SP3 Lite

and this is our rookie, already the 3rd dewar in the Ukrainian unit (thk mtech) Team MXS (yes, we have problem to find them )



immediately after buying it was filled to the brim, and as we had not much time, in haste, in a few hours it was all assembled and ready



I was very surprised when my Danger Den waterblock, that past 2 years has not been used, just perfectly approached to replace the factory cooling of the motherboard,



Moreover, the BOSTIK had disappeared, so I had to use the remnants



Southbridge also heated decently, so the radiator from the old 965-DS3 went well



Well, engines on start!





My lucky MOA thermos

Everything went well, Dewar was enough for two Bench session 8 and 5 hours long, with the CPU we managed to get almost all the results except Wprime owing to simply wild vdroop on MSI Eclipse, vcore from 1.65 to settle at 1,55 V.

But the result achieved in 252 MHz was encouraging, I have never seen higher results on this motherboard







That's all friends

Sorry for my bad English

Wow, great work! I never knew the Eclipse could clock like that

[massman]

That's very good for the Eclipse!

[Mafio]

congrats, really a good work.

with the WB on the NB you gain some MHZ of BCLK?
thanks

[KizilejdeR]

252 Bclock is very good.Congrats

[SteelRat]

Dopamin3, massman thanks!

thanks

I think definitely helped, because the stock NB cooling poor, it has a very bad thermal interface, and it overheats even in nominal awful. But certainly at the LN2 or stock cooling I even not tested

Could you share the batch number or your 920?

Thanks

[quake6]

I think you could go even further with BCLK if you go with low multipliers...

BTW Nice to see 920 in action and nice scores

[mtech]

Congrats, great work!

Thanks!

I think that I will try again when I finish vdroop mod and replace the HDD.

[siavash_shojaee]

nice work keep pushing bro

[zalbard]

Good job, guys, nice clocks!
Why have you decided to use MSI?

[Hazzan]

awesome Mate...another good result from MSI...

[SteelRat]

Thx!
Because I do not have another motherboard
Even this Eclipse is my gift from MOA 2009 EU

Great first post

[Boulard83]

Awesome BCLK !

goooood job !

[Russian]

Congrats on the BCLK! Love to see over 5Ghz on 920s.

Insane results: Can you tell us sth. about your voltages ?

[SteelRat]

Thanks to all for comments! cheers

Insane results: Can you tell us sth. about your voltages ?

CPU: 1,65V
QPI: +0,3V
PLL: 1,82V
SB: 1.16V
NB: 1.3V

[miahallen]

WOW...very low QPI voltage....did you try more?

[SteelRat]

WOW...very low QPI voltage....did you try more?

In my case, there is no point. I have tried.

+1. Really low for that bclk. Nice chip you got there

[Rudster816]

Great clocks.

Im not sure what they call it on MSI boards but im pretty sure QPI voltage is VTT on others (e.g. Evga's), but only +300mv is insanely low. It took +500mv on my chip to do 245 Bclk on normal water (x15 CPU multi though). I guess the LN2 really takes down the voltage requirements.

Also, GET BETTER RAM! I have that RAM and im poor

[Dahaka]

Good benchs there .

Ver ynice BCLK with WC on NB, i reach 242 bclk con air and dry ice on cpu, but i can't get LN2 here in Chile.

Regards!.
