i7 920 2.66GHZ only OC's too 4.5GHZ

DRDNA · Jan 31, 2009, 08:54 PM

Well I can manage a stable but a bit hot 4.3GHZ and a 24/7 4.1GHZ ... but like what the hell why wont it go to 5GHZ ....lol ..No man but on the for real these i7 920's are frigging amazing....When I figure out some real cooling then I think the chip will shine even more....these chips over clocking ability is just one of the best there is to date in my book...with just a upgrade on air cooling for cheap can give these chips 4GHZ no problem with the right config in the bios ....its not like its 3 out of 11 chips may clock but seems as the norm is no problem with 4+GHZ...nice job Intel

I would envy a 4.1GHz i7.... I want your rig so baddddd......

ap4lifetn · Jan 31, 2009, 09:14 PM

I think the QPI is limited to 8GT/s, which in turn is about 222mhz BCLK.

Yes I am really enjoying all aspects of this chip...I cant wait to figure out an alternative cooling method....I need a socket 1366 head kit for my VapoChill LS

If any one knows where I can get one that would be awesome!Its either that or some kind of peltier water cooling method, but I friggin already own a VapoChill LS and would like to use it

Kei · Jan 31, 2009, 10:50 PM

Haha, thank you for giving me my daily laugh.

Only 4.5Ghz hahaha I could only hope to be so unlucky on air.

Great job on that massive clock.

According to what I have been told the socket kit will still be released but will be the last one released.
The closing of the forums etc has not been a decision taken lightly, it has not come suddenly and so what I said about the socket kit being released should still stand (hopefully any day now, i will try to get an update)
