[beast200]

Hi

Gligy

i will also have to use the method shown above to connect the waterblock

have purchase oem CPU part by mistake
SLBCH costa Rica
3835A766


will have very similiar setup to you
Gig byte UD5 & 920 cpu D_tek fuzion V1 with accelarator jets
have you install the jets
how are your temps for the (North / south bridge)

is there any settings you have found that help the overclocking

what uncore, dram volts & are you using

cheers

I had to put uncore at 16x to get stable. maybe i didn't really need it but it seemed to help me. dram volts 1.66.

From what i read, the Uncore multi needs to be at least twice the memory multi, or it won't post.


I'm still somewhat confused about the QPI multi's. Looking at BIOS screen some boards call them 18x, 22x, 24, on other boards it says 36x, 44x, 48x.
Perhaps some of the bios programmers are confusing GT/s with GHz.
6.4 GT/s = 3.2 GHz i believe

testing my 920 @ chiller 10°C water

Very nice my friend

Hi,

I never bought the jets so I'm without.
Never watched how are NB and SB temps and I think GB UD5 shows only one chipset temperature.

The overclocking was pretty straight forward without much fuss I've just set the settings in BIOS and voila there it was working like a charm on 3800mhz

Below I apply screens of EasyTune with my settings for 3800Mhz.

Here is my 1M

nice mount you made there, creative.

[deepsilver]

My first tests.

BTW: Only on air with a Noctua NH-U12P.

[herderien]

i see quite high temps here...what are the default temps on load ?
i've seen a test with 70°C+ on 100% load / default clock, so what temps are safe with this i7 ?

[slash777]

75°C its ok ....

My i7 920, VID : 0.975

Hi

Gligy

thanks for info

a Corsair 650watt
sould be sufficent for this set up
only 4870

cheers

That's coil whine and comes from overloaded or overtemped PSU's. Be careful. PSU's start to get ineeficient if they are ran past 80% of their rated specs, and they can fluctuate, have poor ripple current properties, and droop past that.

Nice, mine runs 3.2ghz with 1.08v, 3.8ghz with 1.27v

[Riggs]

Never really found this out... Would running lets say 1.75v memory kill a i7? Sorry for noobiness, thought that it may have been fud?

[T_Flight]

Nobody knows yet. Until it's tested over time it could last a a day, a week, a year, or maybe more. There is a thread about that in the Overclocking section at the top of the forum though. People are posting what they are doing so far, but nobody can draw any conclusions from it until it is tested over time. The safest thing to do is to stay in psec unless you can afford to replace the CPU, and don't mind the risk. Anything outside of specs is obviouasly risky. Of course we already know that.

[Riggs]

Thanks man. Looks like I'll have to look around for new memory, not worth 300 dollars to save 100 bucks...

[slash777]

Nice, mine runs 3.2ghz with 1.08v, 3.8ghz with 1.27v

Thx for the info, today i test the maximum

[Gligy]

Had a little time today and pushed the memories a bit further
Still 1.6v in bios 7 8 7

Love my new Corsair kit

[Krautmaster]

not bad Gligy! =)

which Corsair Kit do you have?

[pinto]

New baby, watercooled on P6T deluxe:

[Gligy]

Exact model is TR3X3G1600C9 - rated at 9 9 9 24 at 1,65v

Here is my 1M

Bro are u running on water? Very good temps
