    IxTk 'Red Arm' cascade cools a 920 D0 slept in a Classified: 250x21 @1.41vCORE :)

    We recieved this board couple of days ago at the shop. Boblemagnifique quickly tried it first but didn't really had time.

    Well, I've started playing with it yesterday and had hard times figuring out how to properly use it.

    Both the motherboard and the chip aren't hand picked... just out of the box.

    So please don't pay attention to time efficiency, it's more likely brutal BCLK clocking here. As you'll see it was required to sacrify timings in order to push up the BCLK.

    Code:
    M/B:eVGA Classified 760
    CPU:Intel Core-i7 920 D0 3849A772
    CPU cooling:IxTk 'Red Arm' Cascade (R290 / R23) -84C evap loaded
    Memory:OCZ PC3-16000 CL7 1.65v
    VGA:Gigabyte X800XL
    HDD:Western Digital 500GB SATA-II
    Power Supply:Cooler-Master 850W






    114MHz pci-e finally proved to be good enough.



    1.35vtt was too much, I used 1.3v.









    By setting maxmem to 600 and Memory Low Gap to 2.5Gb I did 248.4x21 Spi32M as well. I've to say, to improve stability you DO need maxmem=600, nothing to do with efficiency but with stability.

    Tomorrow I'll put the setup under another cascade...
