Quick test new i7 980x

**uncle fester** · 10-23-2010, 08:32 AM

Hi guys was just finishing up the round of max cpu clock for asus 1156 comp and had about 2 ltr of ln2 left so i thought i would have a quick test of my i7 980x batch 3013A531,
Volts set in bios were 1.75v cpu-z read them as 1.79 and my multimeter read at 1.73v, temperature was at -120c

I actually managed to clock to 6.4ghz but unfortunatly the .cvf file did not save

Next week i will order some more ln2 and see how this chip can really perform

Nice clock, looks like there is still quite a bit more room for more mhz. Looks like have some sick memory too. Cant wait to see what you do with this chip/board/mem combo.

Looking forward to the results !

**subaruwrc** · 10-23-2010, 01:53 PM

seems a nice cpu !
waiting for your results.
good luck !

and you got @ 1.8volts to run cpu-z take pictures and validate, and you run out of gas ...

Yea 6.3 ghz not bad at all

**fatguy1992** · 10-23-2010, 07:01 PM

Going to give it 2v again?

**Booj** · 10-23-2010, 08:10 PM

Remember 6.5ghz or it's killed :p

**youngpro** · 10-23-2010, 08:58 PM

1.7v? are you testing the cpu or giving it a pedicure dude? come back with some proper temperatures and vcore,

this "xtreme overclocking", post in the Intel section dude, nothing xtreme about this!

Whats your CB and CBB?

get it colder and give her more volts!!!!! not a lot of chips will like 1.9V+ so walk it up slowly and see where the sweet spot is

i only had 2 ltrs i tried testing for cold bugs but not enough ln2 i dropped it -150 and it was still booting but will get more ln2 this weekend.

what thermal paste are you using? and did you set any clock skews in bios for CPU/NB?

**T_M** · 10-24-2010, 09:37 PM

What color clothes were you wearing at the time you did this quick testing?

I mean come on - thermal paste? skews?

I was wearing my hello kitty boxers with my wife basher VB singlet

always good for an extra 100mhz

**SniperOZ** · 10-25-2010, 09:55 PM

Just picked one off this batch up today...will be interested on your Results ..

Don't worry. Uncle Fister knows he's a n00b and doesn't take it personally. To his credit he's very safety conscious which is good to see, always wearing sunglasses when benching to prevent ln2 in the eyes and lessening his dazzlement at the sight of youngpro's chest hair.

youd be suprised what makes a difference

then again maybe you wouldnt

**T_M** · 10-26-2010, 06:59 AM

I can tell you, with 2L of LN2 and quick testing by a seasoned bencher, i can assure you that thermal paste was not his concern

**uncle fester** · 10-27-2010, 04:29 AM

ok guys very quick full load test 1.75vcore , tripple channel IMC was cold bugging at -140 so i raised vdimm to 2v which gave me headroom to -160c. i think there is still more in this chip but this was best for the hour test i gave it.

benching naked gives 150 MHZ extra so pants down buddy

nice chip you have there, with DC for 03 and 05 maybe no CB

**T_M** · 10-27-2010, 08:31 PM

I cannot televise most of my benching sessions for that very reason

After all, Indonesia is quite a warm place....

**dinos22** · 10-27-2010, 08:59 PM

wow i see a few people suckered into our twisted sense of humour

good work
