EVGA Classified meets Core i7 950 / 920 and Dice...

[gaidin]

looking forward to seeing some more results when you can go cooler Afrokalle

Theres a big diff between 2D and 3D there...more than I was expecting!

[Afrokalle]

Thanks gaidin

the differences came only from kind of cooling...
2D was cooling with Dice (-65°C outside the pot) and now 3D with the Single Stage (-45°C@Eva).
I think with Dice or better LN2 this 950 will run ~5250MHz or perhaps 5300MHz through 3D.
Heard from a friend that his 975 has coldbug@-120°C but in 3D06 CPU Test its running@-135°C - this new D0 CPUs scales very good with cold

Thx Master - this board is pure fun - cant stop benching .

Great scores and yes, thanks to the master! (The one on the right of course!)

[Afrokalle]

Thx jAkUp are you the other one?

EVGA was always for enthusiast but Classified is a piece of art - pushing a i7 was never so easy...

[madgravity34]

I was hopin the 950 would do better, but those are still some nice clocks! Its getting harder not to upgrade to i7

[lior307]

Great chip you've got there

I also have this Batch - hope to do a 5.3ghz too .

Congrats mate this is really impressive...

Think i have to test with only one memory module too

At the moment i try to get sub7min in Super PI 32M:



Single Stage -43°C@Load (no tweaks yet - only maxmem=600)

Pushing uncore helps a lot in 32M - this run is as fast as my Dice run @5250MHz with low uncore - so with 5250MHz + Uncore + CW i think i can break 7min barrier...

[roller11]

Afrokalle,
Your superpi performance screen is every bit as impressive as my max clock!

Can you explain "maxmem=600" ? I can find no 'maxmem' setting in BIOS. Also, is it possible to get lower than 16x uncore?

Thanks! roller11

[Viss]

Maxmem is set in OS (msconfig/bootini/advanced).

Nice scores Afrokalle

[drnip]

Also, is it possible to get lower than 16x uncore?

Thanks! roller11

If I'm not mistakin if you disable QPI Controller Setting this will give you a lower uncore.

[Afrokalle]

Thanks roller11 & loc.o

@drnip: if you disable QPI Controller Setting you will get a lower QPI Link Speed - some call it slow mode...
your uncore must memory speed x2 - so if you use memory multiplier x8 the lowest uncore multiplier is x16 (cpu-z shows uncore as nb frequency) - but you can choose a higher uncore multiplier to get faster L3 Latencies.

[Solarfall]

your i7 950 seems to be pretty nice clocker considering that your using only an SS to cool down that freaking hot i7 chip

[borec]

Excelent clocks! very nice

Thx mate
i´ll test the 950 at the weekend with some liquid nitrogen

Tested yesterday the 920 with Dice again, and this CPU seems to be a nice clocker too...

Load VCore was around 1.45V for this speed:

wPrime 1024M:




wPrime 32M:




Super PI 1M:




Super PI 32M:




Pifast:






Did not have some memory with Elpida Hyper Chips (only Mushkin with Elpida BBSE) but at the weekend get some nice sticks from Corsair and 50l LN2 + 50kg Dice

Stay tuned

Hey there.. nice Job man.... nice Job.... very impressive... gotta play today for a while classified keep pushing

[WCRF]

Afrokalle, great results!!!

Congratulations.

I have a system close to yours, what vdimm did you use??

[KanGaXx]

Nice Results

can you tell me why you dont use x24 moltiplier ?
bclk wall ?

[Afrokalle]

Thx

@WCRF: we used for Elpida Hyper Chips ~1.76V - 1.82V and for Elpida BBSE ~1.70V - 1.76V (this chips do not scale good with vmem)

@aerie: x24 is not running as good as x23 - dont know why....

[WCRF]

Thx

@WCRF: we used for Elpida Hyper Chips ~1.76V - 1.82V and for Elpida BBSE ~1.70V - 1.76V (this chips do not scale good with vmem)

Is this Elpida Hyper the same of Corsair Dominator??

I'm asking 'cause I have the same RAMs

[Afrokalle]

Elpida Hyper Chips are only on new Corsair memory (1866MHz C7, 2000MHz C8 & 2000MHz C7). You have (when we´re talking about the memory in your sig) the Corsair 1600MHz C8 - don´t know what chips on this modules - but definetly not Elpida Hyper...
