road to 5Ghz with non extreme I7

[PcCI2iminal]

Mojo Family
We are going to buy some Ln2 in a big Gas Company near of home and our son Adrian will meet the LN2 for the first time in his life hehehehe


I never seen before ,its about three tanks with 60000Lt of LN2 but i have no money to blow .... well ,a small part is enough for us ->20lt

And me

Well i had no much LN2 left ,just enough for few runs and a screen




I was so close to 5GHz



I will try again at later time ^^

[8800's@over]

Good Job Criminal ^^

4870's@over - adrenaline.

[HDCHOPPER]

exellent clocks !

and even better family action

[quintus]

superb family actiond
my girl likes that little human

[rdrash]

Very nicely done!!...I really need to get my wife into overclocking

[StrangerS]

WoW.... nice job. nearly 5Ghz.

[Bullet92]

Well done PcCI2iminal and Yoko. It's nice to see someone is close 5GHz with non-extreme i7. Keep pushing, your family rocks

[ToyTen]

Nice to see all this

Damn your son is a lucky bast... not unhandy by the way!!

Thanks for sharing settings and no need to say keep pushing

[SAE]

Wow. Nice clocks and great team work, it seems!
Most of the XEs have to fight hard to get to 4.9GHz... should be a really nice 940 IMHO.

[TheKarmakazi]

amazing clocks on the 940!! You can hit 5Ghz, keep pushing!!!

[George_o/c]

Wow, I am speechless ! Best family o/cing action I've ever seen
5GHz are coming, I can smell it

[dogsx2]

Great pictures and clocking my friend.

[Pt1t]

Nice clock here on 920 & 940

[drnip]

Very nice!!!

[over@locker886]

It seems Adrian brought more oc power for family! ^^

Fantastic results, and family! My friend, you are very lucky!

[ZoLKoRn]

well done ! PcCI2iminal

looking forward for next results i think you can beat 5GHz on 940 sure

Cheers

[PcCI2iminal]

thanks guys (from me , yoko and adrian heheh)

I will try agaio to hit the magic5 with a non extreme chip and the next time and i will use more ln2 than only 5lt maybe 60000lt hehehe

[Brian y.]

congrats.

That is some very nice clocks

5GHz is very near

[dinos22]

hey man that 920 you have is a killer chip
when we were comparing notes the other day i was like WTF that's pretty good....hehehe


i managed to get some half decent results with my chip..... took a screen at 4485MHz on water and maxing out at 221MHz bus speed for 4644 full bench stable 222 >> BSOD stable...erm yeah

[Jaction]

good job

[PcCI2iminal]

congrats.

That is some very nice clocks

5GHz is very near

thx guys , im working on it but those few Mhz seems much bigger than only 42MHz ....

[PcCI2iminal]

mine is good for air but i forgot to say to you it has a low cold bug (-30) ,anyway i don't think is possible to hit 222MHz ,not with Rampage2 ,Gigabyte maybe?
what you know about the GA-X58-DS4 ?what the Gigabyte engineers said to you about the DS4?

[dinos22]

i dont know what the difference is tbh

[PcCI2iminal]

i dont know what the difference is tbh

thx,i will try Gigabyte again , DS4 or DS5 but i dunno heheheh
the cheapest maybe
