Core i7 Overclocking by Batch #

[Boulard83]

tatts, post a screen UNDEr load. this is without load and Power saving is on. .992v for 4.2ghz is impossible.

@ IMO

We want to we a 20pass LinX with MAX RAM used.

Sorry, this is the load shot just before it finished

+1 as that still isn't stable

[Sniper]

Yes this time he sure did...lol

Hehe, I know you dont like my comments on some of your posts, but idc.

But it seems to be a nice chip you have there, but like many other low voltage week 49 - it seems to be running quite hot with 86c allready at 4.2. Or is your ambient abnormaly high for this test ?

[Boulard83]

Thx tatts

[c22]

So again with a little increase of volt I tested the chip hope it ends all confusions....

this little increase made this chip already worse than my xeon, there you go m8, it's not as amazing as you thought.

[rge]

Yes my point was its a amazing chip to run. I was trying to share my findings but obviously some ppl do take it personally or bring irrelevant discussions or personal bias.

Always glad people share their findings, but you were just teasing, not sharing People are just asking if its stable, or pointing out things that dont make sense.... like I dont understand why your max temps are 85C on core 1, but current load temp is only 72C, 13C swing is bizarre, usually just 5-7C max difference using same vcore/mhz between current load temp and max temp...even when your core 1 had stopped 1 thread on previous only 9C diff.

Regardless its a great chip, but was interested in seeing how long prime would run or linx like other people, if you show a teaser, expect people to ask questions or comment on what doesnt make sense.

100% true.

Anyone can show a 10min prime or a 10pass LinX.
We want to see a REAL load test for REAL result

My I7 920 is very bad.(3911A199)


@imo
Amazing chip.Very nice voltage

[tatts]

Has anyone tried benchmarks with and without HT?
I'd like to see how much difference it actually makes.

[Boulard83]

Nearly nothing if your mainly a gamer.

The only place where HT takes the lead is in the crunching numbers. Like encoding, rendering or similar aps.

here is my new W3570 with big problems i cant use the multis over 24

my mainboard DFI X58 T3H6 new Bios,Memory Kingston Hyper X 3x2GB 1800

in bios core1-4 multi ican set

but no non cpu turbo max.24 why?

TDC+TDP is disabled ?? what is this its new in my bios?

i will set 133x35 but i cant this in bios please help me

[top game 22]

i have a new batch to test next it's a 3945A936. this is on the new x58-ud7 boad. water cooled...

Thats a big jump from your original 1.17V and you still havn't done 20+ passes

+1

Will disabling HT allow me to drop the vcore a little bit or will it only lower the temps?

[zalbard]

Will probably help with VCore as well, yep.
But do you not want to keep HT?

I am testing the same batch, 3945a936. So far it is LinX stable 4ghz 20 passes, 1.248vcore load, 1.220vtt. Testing it now at 4300mhz 1.360vcore load. The VID is 1.28125v, kind of high but temps are great.

[imo]

oh guess it doesnt make any sense but I dont see any teeth in those smiles lol

[Boulard83]

We just want to see something that really show its stable.

10-20 LinX pass isnt "stable" at my eye but its a beginning !

[H2O]

I don't have much use for it - I do no heavy photo editing or video encoding nor do I participate in things like F@H. My i7 rig is mostly for gaming and (ASAIK) none of them support more than 4 cores.

Batch # 3939B145
Here're my settings, finally hit 4ghz. So far 5+hrs stable in prime with decent load temps.


Hyperthreading is enabled. Mem set to 8-8-8-24.

System:
Gigabyte ex58-ud5 board
Core i7 920
Corsair Dominator-GT 6GB DDR3 2000 @ 1600mhz
850W PSU
gtx 295
watercooled, 2 fan rad.

I was wondering if you guys think I should go for 4.2? I am was going to enable turbo mode, which will give me 4.2ghz, but I am kind of enjoying this somewhat low volt overclock.
And if I am using turbo what will be the voltage bump i should go for.
I do nothing, but game and surf web on this machine. So I think even 4ghz is overkill, but to me there's no point building almost 2G machine and not push it.

[OC Nub]

4200mhz 20 passes.
