I meant to say with the GX9800, not the HD4870 CF (he already did it 26k run with it), but he just did a 26k run with GX9800, lol.

Didn't expect a run at 4.5GHz! Nice !

I think it's just there isn't enough CPU power to push the "newer" cards to its limit.

When I get my new tech station I'll try for higher, maybe a few mhz only, but any little bit counts.

Question which is better running at 3.93 GHZ and memory at 1656MHZ timings 6 7 6 18
or running at 4.0 GHZ memory at 1603 MHZ timings still 6 7 6 18

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: Neither.

Even longer answer: Whatever part of your computer usage you consider to be better could be dependent on another part of hardware. For instance... load times off of the HDD are faster with an SSD. CPU speed is not exactly a large issue here.

Question: Could you be a bit more specific about what you're trying to make better?

classic, every word.

I am just trying to learn, I am going to leave it at 3.3 as I can run a 1.20 voltage on CPU where at 4.0 I need to set CPU to 1.225
I thank you for the quick reply.
I have no specific purpose. I am not a gamer so FPS is not a big concern for me. I just like to see what I can do. At 63 years old I just enjoy learning something everyday.

ah... i see.

well...

3.6ghz is a good round number and will give you HEAPS of performance compared to stock clocks.

ram really doesnt matter over 1200mhz so you can run it how you see fit. less volts would be best though.

and for everyone in this thread... im going to call manditory pics for the next few days. post em up. we want to see your setup

Binge · Sep 20, 2009

Well when you put it that way you can really only define better in your own terms. It has been proven ...(and I don't have sources)... memory bandwidth after 1600MHz is close to useless in applications, but it can shave off fractions of a second in benchmarks. Where benchmarks are concerned it would require both the ram and the cpu to be faster, but the cpu speed would do more for the benchmark than the memory.

Nice, I'll take a few iPhone snaps of my setup tomorrow, it's in full NFS Shift mode atm which means G25 + X5500

3ghz test

so i tried to overclcok my i7 920 c0 to atleast 3ghz on stock cooling
so far doing some test seems stable
can u guys check out how it is going
hey can u recomend me a air cooler too
i was thinking about cmv10 themalight fx 14
thanks
edit: is this s1284

edit2:failed in intel burn test

Thrackan · Sep 20, 2009

s1284, mugen 2 are the first suggestions I'd make.

Finally got going on this EVGA micro set up. It has the b3 x58 stepping. Not sure if makes a difference, have not tried any high bclk with it. But 4ghz is pretty easy. Here is a shot and also a pic of it on the shelf in my garage. I have a spot cool on the chipset and an old amd fan on vregs. Plus my favorite zip ties for the fan on the true

Testing Evga X58 LE at the moment...

CLUB evga here

Sorry, meant to post them earlier, woops. Here they are

Here is my i7 rig as of now and my room. In view are both of my computers. The fan was facing the i7 rig during a bench session I was having today. I'll provide a link below to my best runs of the day.

naw bro, Remember I was having issues with it, so I took everything out for inspection. I'll be putting it backinto a different case that can house the rad inside. For now it's staying like that. When Pauls new tech station comes it'll go there, if I like it a lot it'll stay there too!

I have no new pics but i am curious CP.
Is that a bong on top left of cabinet in second pic?... LOL

CP where did you get that clip for your X-540 center channel to sit on the top of your monitor? At least it looks like some clip that holds it there.
