Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club

[andressergio]

I gave this a try today, last night it failed at 1.408vcore after 15 passes. Think I can still get vcore a notch lower. 8 threads is giving me a hard time, the chip just runs hot so this is with ht disabled. I could have used more memory I guess.

just awesome my friend

[OC Nub]

Thank you Sergio.

[radaja]

OC Nub,another great run

[OC Nub]

Thanks radaja, very happy with this newer batch 930

[radaja]

looks like a great batch

[CryptiK]

Kickass run there OC NUb, nice job

[kill_a_wat]

Yes nice run OC NUB

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

OC Nub killing it as usual that is probably one of the nicer 930's I have seen, very leet

What is the VID of that chip and the batch number?
Also is that on the UD7 or the R3E?

Post quote says its his UD7.

[SimpleTECH]

Hope this counts. Can't get past 195 BCLK. It's either the board or the chip.

[Daddyjaxx]

Yippee...I'm in and it only took a 1000.00 CPU to do it. .

[tool_462]

@SimpleTECH: Try another BIOS or try to skip a bunch of bclk and go to something like 205 or 210 x 20 just to see, some bad BIOS have bclk "holes"

@Daddyjaxx: Nice temps!

[Daddyjaxx]

Methinks my one side of the block isn't as tight as the other since the last three cores are 10c hotter. When I get around to it, I'll take the top off and screw them down a little better.

Thanks guys.

This was with the UD7, and batch# is 3004B176, VID is 1.1875

@SimpleTECH and Daddyjaxx, very nice run guys

My i7 960 totally sucks Trying to get to 4.5ghz but i think it's impossible for me, now testing this:

My 960 sucks also, havent seen many good ones at all, IDK what intel did with these but most of them oc like $hit.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with this poor 4ghz. It's more than enough for me anyway.

Grats Hornetcup, but what's with the gFlops? I think I could do 54ish with my old q9550 and some d9 ddr2...

It's a good thing someone else noticed it, as I don't want to be the only one to spoil the fun.
I don't want to underestimate others effort, but old linpack doesn't adequately stresses Gulftowns and passing 20 with those doesn't prove stability.
Today I did a quick test and running old linpack proved to be 8-12 deg.C cooler then new linpack. With old one I get 61-62 GFLOPS and with the new one 81-82 GFLOPF @ 4.2GHz.
So, 50 some GFLOPS is very strange...

[facboy]

on one of my tests at least (4.1 at 1.325 VCore) low gflops indicated instability...normally at 4.1 it should hit around 75 or so for me, but when it was unstable it would only hit 52-53 and the temps were very low (like 48-49), normally should hit 56-58. same binaries, i've been using the march 2010 one since the beginning. imo (and probably controversially), i don't consider 20-25 runs a proper test for 24/7 any more, i've had several bomb out on run 30+. i run 100 runs now, but i'm not going for glory runs, i'm after 24/7. i keep volts low (< 1.35) and temps are well in check (never more than 60). tbh ultimately 100 is prolly not enough either, if it passes 100 runs of linx plus 15+ hours of prime small FFTs, then i run it through pc mark and 3d mark, and after all that then i'd consider it 24/7 usable at about 50-100Mhz lower than that. this mobo/cpu/ram is warrantied (through shop) to run at 4.2, seems stable at that so i plan to run it at 4.1, maybe even 4.0.

Not always low gflops indicates instability, sometimes you'll get low gflops just close and reopen program till you get correct gflops. To many have reported this issue and seems to be a program bug.

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

here is a friend's i5 655k in a Gigabyte H55N USB3 cooled by a Venomous X w/ a single San Ace 120X30mm fan

batch #: L009B514



once again tight timings on the memory FTW

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

also just found an error with my 920 submission

"l0ud_sil3nc3 | Core i7 920 [4C 4T] @ 4514.7MHz | 1.424 | Gigabyte X58A-UD7 | Water | 3949A372"

I had HT on

A batch just like mine hope i can join soon
