just noticed that your intel burn test thread is on 8 shouldnt it be on 16 threads ?

Core i7 only have 8threads not 16

Core i7 only have 8threads not 16

Dan777 brought that up before to me and I believe if I recall correctly it fully stresses it when on 16. Try it, you will most likely see a higher increase in temps. Why? Beats me, but give it a shot.

Nice to see it beating out the rich folks 940's and 965's

Just got done setting the final 24/7 clocks for my new Core i7 Rig. Went caseless on this one Sadly, I hit a pretty hard wall at 214 BCLK and clouldn't even think of getting stable until 211. I was testing at 215-218 BCLK, but needed suicide voltage to do it

I'm driving the pump and radiator fans with a old AT power supply, so as not to draw off my main system PSU.

I added a homemade shroud to the radiator after this pic:


Adding PSU and boot HDD


Final Clocks & voltages for 24/7: With my DMM, vDIMM measures 1.66 with these settings, and vCORE 1.48. Most volts are set to stock. Messing with the PLL voltages only seemed to cause more instablitiy for me.
