Core i7 920 rev D0 stepping 5 :)

Nice! Btw, do you have HT on or off?

4.0ghz - 20 passes on LinX - stable on Air with Biostar TPower X58

4.2Ghz seems to be the sweet spot for my CPU, can do that on 1.26v fully stable takes a big voltage jump for 4.3ghz as seen below.

Got some OCZ Blade 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C9 2000MHz arriving tommorow from Novatech, will see if that gives me more headroom.

Hello from Germany

I can by an D0 Batch 3847A821.
Google say nothing over this Batch. Packdate 04.08.09
Have you here any ideas ??

I would just go for it, you might get a better clocker than mine, who knows - I bought mine without checking on the web for results.

HT is on, hard to see but you can actually see if look closely on LinX it states 8 threads.

20 passes on LinX

Once I read this, I didn't even look at your settings or submissions for I already knew they were invalid. Run Prime95 Blend 30m - 1hour then resubmit. Try actually testing for VTT instead of just setting 1.35v thats WAY too high compared to respectable submissions.

wtf is your problem? First off you're kidding about stability right, 20x linX will crush your cpu harder than 8 hours of prime especially blend I would hardly call 1.35v a high vtt either.

Stop spreading false information, and brush up on your i7 overclocking before you come into a thread like this acting like the mack daddy.

The only garbage here is your post.

You know you just made it evident to everyone here that you know absolutely nothing about linpack, i7 and prime.

20 minutes of linpack is equivalent to 8 hours of prime blend and if you had done ANY testing of the two side by side on an i7 system, you'd know what time it is. You're sig shows you're still testing....keep on testing with prime and you'll permanently have that in your sig.

20 minutes of linpack is equivalent to 8 hours of prime...

He'll be picking on you now...

In my experience on 2 different 920's now, I can pass the Linpack 20 pass with max memory use and problem size but will still fail prime if I leave it overnight.

I do wish Linpack was more reliable as an hour or so of stability testing is certainly more convenient than having to do it overnight. Unfortunately this just never seems to be the case for me I end up having to run Prime overnight to guarantee i'm stable so i pretty much stopped using linx altogethor as it seems pointless to use it when i still have to prime overnight anyways

To each their own, but you're not here telling people that their input is garbage so that's an entirely different issue.

Prime lost it's value as a stability tool for me when a 10 hour prime blend stable failed in 1 second of linx, full memory, high work load. And it's not just me who have experienced this...

same here, in the past both my Opty rig and this Core i7 system would passed 24hr Prime95 but failed within seconds of running LinX. Showing a couple minutes of Prime95 and claimes it rock stable is laughable...

What is a "stability tool"?

[ReverendMaynard]

apps are tools....linx and prime are stability apps. Get it?

I agree he certainly could have handled that better.

I guess every machine is different then, I certainly wish I could just run a 20 pass of linx and know im stable. I suppose I will have to continue to use both on new processors just to be sure im stable.

GIGO = Accounting Term people learn in College, used to describe many data related analysis.

To each their own? Now your just missing the point entirely and being ignorant to the fact that you are grossly incorrect. Linx is NOT a Valid program to Test 24/7 settings for your i7, you will fail Prime95 in UNDER 10 MINUTES every time.

I just have to ignore him now and wish him the best of luck. You really can't spend that much time or energy on someone who can't grasp on to the big picture. In the working world, these tend to be people that are let go in slow times or never promoted. They latch on to the small words, the small ideas, instead of grasping the big picture: Data Validity.

Nothing in my signature is unique and can't be replaced or upgraded to something new. My Sig is nothing more then a snapshot in time for others who may have questions about building something similar. Feel free to hit PM or Email me with any questions you may have about my current build.

The ignorance in this thread is sickening.

You have someone that knows nothing about i7s trying to belittle people and force his ways of stability and another guy who reads the dictionary for fun a bit too much.

I guarauntee that if Im even 20x linx stable with a decent chunk of mem that I can run prime for over 5 hours blended atlteast.

Mr definition of stability over here might want to load up his bios, choose load fail safe defaults and put his tinfoil hat on. If you want true stability you should have gone with a workstation board and no overclocking.

@emertX, very nice did you put it under water or something?
Was suprised to see that it only took 1.475v on phase to hit 4.6 bench stable on this ordinary c1 where as 4.4 took 1.55 ish on water
