XS INTEL CORE i7 STABLE OVERCLOCKING DATABASE

Not the highest OC, but a law-volt one for keeping it . Can be a useful 24/7 OC when the summer heat hits.

There is no issue with LinX.

Its funny because my i7 920 d0 was stable at 4.3ghz with occt (3hr), prime95 (5hr), then i tried this linx people have been talking about and my chip failed within 7 minutes, i was well suprised. I've noticed the temps seem to go a good 3-5C higher on all core with the linx over occt and prime.

Superb program, haven't tried intel burn in test yet, is it any better then the above mentioned?

I've had failures going from Prime to LinX but never the other way around. If I could do 20-pass LinX test with All memory Prime could keep chugging along for a long time...

try clocking ure mem higher with high mem multiplier and high cpu speed

that will give u a first hand lesson of the otherway around

[hlonipha]

is anyone updating this database

[billdavis]

yes, I am.
i will try to update daily.....i somewhat have a life.

I test my memory through Memtest and Memtest HCI. I don't think there is a need to waste time running through Prime. But, I'm sure we'll never agree so let's just agree to disagree

The only changing factor there that I see is Uncore since it needs to be much higher. There are other ways to check your Uncore stability besides Prime as I said above. I run 4GHz Uncore for day to day even with my DRAM at 1600MHz completely stable. Tested for a very long time.

this thread is for results and sharing! end of statment.

prime and occt are old .. for intel cpus one should use Linpack or the LinX gui version.


it should be noted that Linpack is made by intel fyi.

On the Air Cooling, it would be nice IF we can specifiy whether it is the True Black or True Copper. Just saying "True" is really confusing...

[hlonipha]

This thread makes me wonder about all this members showing incredibly high overclocks but non are prime stable? I was expecting more people to show their stable overclocks here.

[jcniest5]

Wow, there's a new stepping with SLBJE! Check first page and first CPU posted. But I'm sure it's just a typo.

what is the preformance diffrence and the Prolimatech Magalems is the best anyway right

yes this is the real test people have always and will always run there unstable high clocks and wounder what happened when they can no longer boot to there OS because of corruption...or just blame a OS for stability problems your oc is good man i had a qx965 on phase that i could only get stable 24/7 @ 4.2/3 ghz so the i7's biggest advantage is there ocing capability

just my opinion, but thread probably would have more entries, had it been done six months ago when people were excited with new i7's and running prime when they first came out. I have a 12+ hr prime run in my sig..last link in sig from december 2008 (and several more at higher and lower mhz), but dont have all info that is required, and too lazy to find it. Also, I need 2 notches higher vcore to run linx 10 run with 5gb ram versus prime stable. And 14 hrs vs 25 mins of linx for same info...I lost interest in prime. I will in future only be doing linx to find stable OC's...though once I have my 24/7 setting via linx, I might run one prime run for kicks just to see if I can reduce vcore, though at some point in future even that will stop.

When I get my new i950, I will be excited/motivated again with a new toy, and will post my results here if do an o/n prime run, after getting linx 20+ runs stable at max 5gb memory.

I don't remember, did they compare it to the True Copper too or just the True Black? Refresh my memory...

yep, was performing 24hr prime runs non stop back then.

Why are people putting the Xeons down under SLBEJ? they are SLBEW's.

I need someone to do tests for the Xeon 3520 3845A935 please! On air preferrably. I just got mine in and thats what it is. I think its a good cpu but would like to find out more before I open the box, plus I have to wait for new mobo as well

Would also like to see 24/7 stability; not sure 8 hrs of prime , occt, or whatever classifies as stable.

come on guys, more results please

Are you saying you want to see 24 hours of prime? Even 8 hours is a waste of time. LinX tells you all you need in way less time. I only ran 8 hours of prime to contribute. I have been running wcg, 8 threads 24/7 since I posted my screenshot.

[MarcusFoX]

24 + hours of any of these would tell me there rock solid.

just my opinion tho
