Good choice of motherboad

Core i7 920 is actually Bloomfield not Nehalem but same architecture - make sure you get D0 stepping.

Not sure about air coolers but most seem to go for TRUE 120 - someone else may recommend one or check other's sigs.

Good luck - it is an awesome CPU!

[RobPuba]

Thanks for the reply......... How is my choice of ram. Just don't want to go through the hassle of going through all types of setting to get it to boot.

If you plan to oc i had picked up some 1600mhz memory
And go over to 64 bit

[Russ_64]

I am a big fan of OCZ so Yes, nice choice if you want low latency but if you want to OC then I would go for the Reapers .......

Guys...an out of topic question...
G.Skill 16000CL7D-6GBPS Perfect Storm for $450 USD worth a try?

[drnip]

The CL7 Perfect Storms are great but I personally would recommend the CL8 for about $200 less.

4x i7 920 all 230+ bclk monsters for air/h20!

2x i7 920 3836A756 C0
2x i7 920 3851A368 D0

And now my first W3520 and this batch has been proven to be a nice high clocker!

Did anybody test his system with the new OCZ Flex watercooled rams?

Thanks for the info. Yes ,nice batch Xeon there bro ,Great collection of i7s you got there. i think its time for you to dust off that Single Stage of yours George and go sub-sero for the weekend to find Max Clocks on that Monster i7s family you got and Xeon too . They will perform at their best.
Lets push it a little higher .

Also this looks like max-benching for my god old C0, but this is a 24/7 setup.

DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 (BIOS 05/08)
Xoen W3250 @4.2GHZ (210x20) , Cinebench rendring (XCPU) score: 24540


Playing around with this setup to decide if i should keep this for 24/7 or go for a higher OC.

hehe my 1/4HP SS doesn't have 1366 mount/evap only LGA775. Need to get 1366 mount/enclosure off Kayl later hehe.

Kingston HyperX @ UT really rocks!

[devsk]

when was the support for D0 added in DFI BIOS? Are currently shipping mobos have BIOS which supports w3520? I would hate to get the board only to find that I can't boot it with my w3520.

I have been experimenting with the latest official BIOS (02-17) and it has been working fine with w3250. I guess this is the currently shipping BIOS, and in case you should be fine.

Guys I'm having trouble getting turbo to work...any suggestions?
PPM, Turbo, C3, EIST, VR Current ALL enabled, Windows7 in High performance mode
but when in 200bclk with EIST on, the multi will drop and freeze to 12x, even I stopped the prime 95 it still stick on 12x multi. VTT special add is in auto as well.
Please help

Here is a thread I started on the subject back when The RC was released. There are many of solutions/possibilities in the thread but all have failed. Just FYI to get you caught up in the matter.

[eva2000]

Yeah some folks have turbo issues in windows 7 only but other folks like myself have no problems - hopefully DFI does get it fixed for those folks

Now to a new cpu I just bought



System:

• Intel Xeon W3520 3845A935 D0 (Xeon equivalent of Core i7 920 D0)
• EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
• DFI UT X58-T3EH8 04/28 beta
• 2x HD4870x2 Crossfire (Powercolor + Gigabyte flashed to Asus Top bios) with ATI Win7 9.4 (8.612 WHQL)
• 6GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-20
• 750GB Samsung SATAII
• Silverstone OP1200 PSU
• Triple boot - WinXP Pro SP3 / Vista Ultimate 64Bit SP2 / Win7 Ultimate 64bit RC

Still early testing as only put my W3520 3945A935 in 3hrs ago and it's priming with custom large ffts 5400mb allocated @20x200 = 4000Mhz at 1.184v vcore and 1.26v set cpu vtt with coretemp load temps of 56-60C in 26.5C ambients!

But it's first cpu that i've experienced that according to SG overvolts CPU VTT from what is set in bios at idle as well under load

i.e. 1.26v cpu vtt set bios = 1.29v idle and 1.31-1.32v load for cpu vtt. Still on 4/28 bios here. For my i7 920 c0/d0 cpu vtt set in bios, under volts slightly at idle but jumps at load.



blood awesome 7-10C cooler than my other i7 920 c0 and d0 cpus!

Hi! , the intel virtualization resource 64bits is not functioning.
I use Vmware workstation.

[PRJ]

Just burned my motherboard, i saw a spark around the ram area and now there is a chattering sound from the board. The PWM temp shows 30 celcius more than before....... Damn :o(

I Was running ~1.40 Vcore & ~1.40 VVT on bios 4/28 on D0 & Corsair 2000 GT

did you replace stock heatpipe assembly or as is out of the box ?
