What's the word on voltage so far, same as Penryn, better stay below 1.35V? Or?

since i7 is not officially launched yet there are no specs aviable on the intel page...
If its launched you will know.
Well ... for overclocking high, you'll need to go well beyond 1.375. See posts #269 and #271 (confirming air) in this thread, 4.328GHz @ 1.576.
But, for 24/7 and low cpu temps, you'd want to stay at 1.375v or below, if on air. Should be safe to to inch it up a little for 24/7 on water, higher yet for gaming runs, and of course much higher on phase or LN2 for bench runs.

Ok, this is the max. BCLK on X58 UD5! Only 1Mhz more and no boot (if i try this with ET6 then freeze!)

nice, to see see you need less voltage for the 4ghz.
i donīt know why, but it make no difference if i prime 4Ghz @ 1.344v or 1.424v. Every time sys freezed after 10secs and then reboot
whats with the ram?
usually if its a cpu instability prime/pc crashes instantly or after 1-2 secs. If you would come near the point of stability only 1 or 2 cores would fail.
ram is no probem, i can prime same settings with lower multi (19 / 3.8Ghz) @ 1.248v VCore.
Well you could try 1,5V in bios with the huge drop it would be ~ 1.45 under load.
I had the same behaviour with my QX9650 -> 3,6ghz was easy with 1,26V, but 4ghz needed 1,45V+
StrangerS with the PT6 needs 1,45 (under load) for 4ghz. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...7&postcount=18

DrWho, The last of the time lords, setting up the Clock.
Im already looking forward to the die shrink to really let loose some wicked OC's
Plus it is not even the 32nm version of it, there are many Forrest Gumps around.10 S on superPI with a 300$ parts ... who said that Nehalem would not OC?
Chri$ch: Amazing overclocking, what is the maximum stable?
Doesn't appear it was that difficult... what a day or two since your first post.

Thats a nice low voltage3.8Ghz (200x19) @ 1.232v

Ok, something must be wrong with Bios F2 from Gigabyte....
20 multiplier doesnīt work for high clocks, canīt disable SMT etc....
20x200 = restart after 10sec Prime
19x211 = runs at this time ~20minutes
i hope i get the latest bios (F3a) soon

nice to see, btw you have tried 21x191?
It puzzles me why intel is still using push pins?!?!?!?! i am using the stock cooler for now, it is not making full contact with the ihs while using AS5, any advice??? i never use push pins because i have always used after market, i am using the lian-li v600b so i need a low profile cooler, any advice on how to make this work correct???
lol i love people who can install a water block and fail at pushpins...
1) have the board not installed in a case
2) put it on a flat surface (very important, if the surface has to to be hard, if it is to soft the board will bend and you can't push the pins through the board)
3) check that the pins are in mounting position
4) push the first pin in, it should make a click sound
5) push the second pin in, best the one the is diagonally opposite to the pin you just pressed down.
6) do the same with the other two remaining
7) turn your board around to check if the pushpins are installed correct, you will notice it when they are no correctly mounted (there should be two "plastic hooks" visible when you look ate the mounting holes). If not try to push the pin harder, sometimes it need quite a force to make them go throught an "click in".
8) ?????
9) profit
i cant belive it how many people have problems with pushpins... sure they aren't ment for many installations, but they get the mounting job done quick and easy.

Excellent directions Hornet!! That is, except for the 'tude.
When you read directions like this in a professionally written article, instead of using phrases like "I can't believe how many people have problems with pushpins", they take the stinger out and say instead something like, "Pushpins can be a real pain. I curse them sometimes myself. However, if you follow my directions carefully (and your directions are great Hornet), it should work every time".

sorry, i know that the bantering wasn't really helping.. but i can't see complains about pushpins anymore.
They arn't a bad solution. If you know how to work with them and follow the instruction that is supplied with them they are far less complicated and fater to install then any bolt kit.
Yeah, I know. Sometimes you can't hold back. I've been there - understand.
Anyway - those having trouble have gotten aid, thanks to you.

Hey guys, been busy but still waited for almost 350 posts LOL! Let me add.
Off Topic.
I've never had problems with push-pin but I've ALWAYS mounted them after the motherboard was installed in the case. Doing it on a hard surface doesn't leave any space between the hard surface and the motherboard. The bottom of the mounting pole needs to be flush. Tips of the pins needs space between the board and hard surface.
Most folks have problems because they're afraid of Motherboard flexing.
Since the old P4 days, boards have been built to flex. Many folks are scared $#itless to put the needed down-force on the board. If I have to mount the Heatsink before installing the board (in the case), I use a some old Mouse Pads. They are stiff enough for the board not to give too much but soft enough for Pins and the expanders get far enough through for a good tight fit.
Old mouse mads have plenty of good uses LOL! Most are also non-conductive.
Back on topic!
SO are the Nay sayers quiet or not? i7 simply rocks as most sane folks predicted it would.

I am sure JF is relaxed and smiling these days with there intended launch schedule. SNB Xeon servers on the other hand....

there yo go bringing intel into a amd thread again lol, if that was someone droping a dig at amd you would be crying like a girl.qft!
Their new line of attack will be the heat levels generated on high overclocks.
That's always been the case an always will be. It's the OC'ers mantra...
