Processor | Intel i7 920 |
---|---|
Motherboard | Intel DX58SO |
Cooling | Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Pro |
Memory | 12GB Tri-channel Kingston HyperX T1 |
Video Card(s) | Dual Gigabyte Radeon HD 6950 1GB |
Storage | 64GB OCZ SSD + 2x 320GB HDDs in RAID 0 |
Case | Silverstone Raven RV03 |
Power Supply | Seasonic X750 Gold |
Software | Windows 8 |
i7 920, 1.35v in BIOS, or 1.301 in CPU-Z idle, 1.277 load.
is 90 degrees in OCCT stress test normal at 3.72Ghz? thats cutting the test off quickly too..
Intel burn test gets it to 94 in seconds, and the way the test works I usually notice the temps jumping up about a minute into the test, but with this OC I didnt wanna leave it going that hot.
I know there are a lot of threads about overclocking the 920 but my temps seem to be too high, and Im getting lower clocks out of the same voltage.
My cooler is a freezer 13 pro.
Motherboard Intel DX58SO.
Ive seen people having problems overclocking on that board as well.. is that my problem?
Also when someone or a guide says they get whatever speed at whatever voltage, does that mean the BIOS voltage option, or what CPU-Z reports because they are fairly different on mine..
Oh yeah QPI bus thing is weird, requires 1.425v, any less is not stable, same with CPU voltage I cant go any lower with that, but it seems like I've hit a bit of a brick wall.. I can push the CPU a little further but not without huge voltage increases.
QPI data rate is at 4.5 (i think, whatever the lowest option is) and runs stable, but increasing it one level to 5.something still runs perfectly stable, on a soft boot. If I turn the computer off it doesnt start, until I switch the PSU off and back on then the failsafe wathcdog kicks in and I can change the setting back.. how does that work??
and finally, RAM is Kingston HyperX T1 Black, and running at 1860Mhz at 10-10-10-27 (XMP - 9-9-9-27 @ 1600) which seems nice to me, but its doing it at 1.66v which is.. well great but changing the voltage doesnt do a thing, i still cant increase the Base Clock at all without RAM giving out even on 1.74v, what else effects RAM max speed?
So yeah any ideas as to why things are so hot, and why I cant push things any further? (not that I will at these temps but it just seems a bit odd..)
I tried IOH voltage, does absolutely nothing?
Thanks
