    i hope i dont blow anything up....

    *********

    I will be benching both the i7 920 and the i7 965 in this competition , think the 920 can compete with the 965? we will find out!

    I believe the contest is open to ES chips and all methods of cooling including LN2

    It was stated "Offically" allowed.

    Looking good V2-V3, carnage awaits

    I wont be on LN2 for a few more days, but this chip has a lot more headroom on AIR. one thing holding me back is RAM my DDR3 is not overclocking friendly...

    The weather here has been rather cold, somewhere around -10c Im thinking of taking the rig out side for some good ole chilled air overclocking!

    I didnt have any of the hardware until Fugger announced the event!
    had to run out and buy all new i7 equipment, could only pay for it by selling my PC Gaming equipment.

    Stuck benching on a crappy old CRT that makes my eyes hurt.... (Borrowed from parents basement)

    sold the 22'' LCD for the Liquid Nitrogen Fund

    I lol'd @ the AMD Phenom II equipment I forgot about in the background :P

    LN2 pot cost me $500.00 USD

    the big tank of LN2 (180L) cost me $250.00 per fill

    I cant wait to put this i7 on LN2, there is some serious performance inside this chip just waiting to get out!

    How long have you been running that tagan 1300w psu and what do you think of it?

    I have been running the Tagan BZ-1300W for over a year, it has been my best overclocking Power Supply never failed me
    although it could use an aggregated rail with large amperage.

    Whats the deal with two psu(s)? You running the gpu's off the ultraxpro 750 and the Tagan is carrying the cpu/mobo? Are you having to ballance the load on the second psu with hdds and stuff?

    I was using each PSU to test if the higher amperage single rail Ultra 750w would have a benefit over the lower amperage multi rail Tagan PSU

    There was no noticeable Overclocking difference on air testing, but i believe the CPU will require a much larger rail on LN2 when it is pulling 1.7vcore @ 5GHz +

    FYI on the PSU, CPU alone pulles around 400W during Vantage CPU test at 5ghz 1.68v.

    Thank you for the info Slovnaft, Much appreciated!

    I just observed 650 Watts of power being consumed by the system
    1.2888Vcore 4.350GHz
    WPrime 1024M 8 core load 65c

    that is an enormous power draw from the cpu!
