[Testing] Core I7 920 (watercooled) & Gigabyte UD5 X58

[jcool]

Very nice CPU, my 940 needs 1,386V to be stable at 4Ghz on an EX58 Extreme...
So you only raised the QPI/VTT voltage to 1,26V to get to 200 BCLK is that correct? No other voltages (except Vcore and Vmem ofc)?
Tried prime blend yet at 200? I seem to be stable at 182 BCLK using 1,2V QPI/VTT and 1,2V on the ICH Core.

quick question. i am still observing core i7 and try to make sense of a few things.

1. the core multiplier is open? meaning can go from 0 - ?
2. multi adjustment only open for 965 and the rest limited?

3. qpi, i went thru a few good reads about qpi still have a hard time relating it to fsb. should i give up and just get used to the different numbers or is there an easy way to calc/ convert a fsb to qpi, vis versa?

btw, good clocks here. looks pretty capable that 920

your cpu score seems awefully low for 3800 mhz in 3dmark06

i am using the very same mobo... with 3 gb g.skill ram... air cooled

Im using Windows Vista 64Bit !!!

Hi

yes , only VTT , Vdim and Vcore voltages!

good work Mascaras , what bios version are you using ?

[mascaras]

Thnks !

Im using F3 Oficial Bios !


btw:


Far cry 2 bench

Core i7 @ 4Ghz (1.36v Idle/1.344v Load)
Turbo Mode ON ( x21 multi in Single App)
Corsair 3GB DDR3-1600Mhz 9-9-9-24
Gigabyte X58-UD5
Powercolor HD4870X2

1920x1200
AA 2x

Average = 74.5 Fps




Min Framerate = 60 Fps

With E8400@4Ghz Min Framerate = 48 Fps

Yeah but smallFFT only tells you if you got enough Vcore
Try largeFFT or blend to see whether that Bclk 200 setting is really stable

Thanks for giving us a look at your new rig

It's nice to see pics followed up with actual tests and scores!!

None of the usual 5 pages and 1 single pi run

Portugal in fall and winter sounds great to me!!

Got to love cold days and nights.

You did a really nice job of presenting your system

Thanks!

hi again

only tested few minuts (~10 min)
