not sure how you work the MSI boards, but you can do 3.6 Ghz with like default voltage and stuff. However you control the voltage as needed.

like FIT said, keep ram divider at 2:8, make sure your uncore is at 16x. RAM voltage 1.65v for now, your QPI/DRAM voltage has to be within .5 of your RAM. Meaning if RAM voltage is 1.65, your QPI/DRAM voltage has to be minimum of 1.25v.

Other than that, raise the BLCK (FSB) and just tweak your CPU voltage.

QPI any idea what the default is all I have is + settings and it doesn't tell me what the default voltage is

Chicken Patty · Mar 15, 2009, 06:06 AM

if you got AIM or MSN let me know I'll send you something that might tell you. Send me a PM with the info.

default on my board is like 1.1v or something like that.

not bad for the first night. Keep us posted in the AM.

man I just did a test run in 3dmark for the heck of it, everything open, crunching and cpu at 3.2 GHz. Cards at default. Crunching, I still managed to get 20k lol. man I love this s**t!!!!

Man I love dual monitors!!! AMD rig left monitor, Intel rig Right monitor

Sweet sweet idle temps...

mudkip · Mar 15, 2009, 03:26 PM

I've ran 3Dmark vantage:

Core i7 @ 3,6Ghz 1.24v
QPI x36
Uncore x16
Memory multiplier 8
Timings 7-7-7-16
GTX280 @ 713/1534/1200

Isn't that nice?

So Binge, after having some time to play with the HK block, how would you say it compares with your old Swiftech?

Fitseries3 · Mar 15, 2009, 05:22 PM

how many TPUers have i7s now?

Nice run and tweaking of your 280, Looks like a good set up!

these things can take up to 100ºc. However I try to stay under 80 back when I was on the factory cooler.

Do you have all the power saving features disabled?

Remember this board is nice but it a value board, but it has just as many bios options as my old rampage did, MSI went all out here. I can get stable as high as 3.7 but heats goes crazy.

That's why you may want to consider water, my friend.

you cant keep the 21x multi active. its "turbo" mode.

if you have loadline or the equivalent enabled you will see adaptive voltage increase/decrease.

Actually you can use the 21x multi if you disable speedstep and turbo mode. I don't know if every motherboard can do it but i am at 21x 24/7

ah, I thought it would be a bit strange for the Noctua to struggle at 3.7.

Hey guys,

Do you know any thread about the gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5?
Maby on another forum?

10-11C drop overall. My proc got more hot since I switched from the R2E (which had 66C max temps), but that's because of intel's heat protection. My cpu was never running over 4.1ghz because of thermal throttling. After the move to the DFI the cpu could get as hot as 72-73C under full load (core damage) on the hottest core. Now it will hit 67C after about 2 hours of that torture which is double the time I would test the GTZ on. I'll do an OCCT to compare soon.

So here it shows about a 4-8C difference in temps. I can tell you it would do better on a cold day like when I had the GTZ in. Difference in room temp is 2C. Heatkiller has a higher room temp and still beats it.

And a non-physx assisted Vantage for a show of power.

yes sir, HT Adds a s**t load of temp. However HT does make the CPU fly IMO.

thats interesting Binge so the HK is a winner

Thrackan · Mar 16, 2009, 11:04 AM

The HK is a great block indeed. Even if I have nothing to compare it to but air I have a temp drop of about 13-15C compared to the Xigmatek 1284C Achilles.
