I hate to see people compare cock-sizes, but his CPU could do it under water.

Perhaps you could tell me, at what point in any post have i tried to "compare cock-sizes" ?
Maybe you could tell me as well, at what point did i say that his cpu couldn't do it under water ?

All that i was pointing out, was that a 1M Pi run is NO sign of stability at any clock. As i pointed out, I could not possibly caim that my run at 5.2ghz was stable. If i did, peeps would quite rightly laugh me off any forum.

im not startin any shit here..

4.8ghz is stable on air for my cpu.

i will prove it later. its not that important to me to prove it RIGHT NOW.

i can boot and run PI 1m at 5ghz similar to your chip so im not trying to make mine look better than it is.

No. I never said you did.
No. I never said you did.

I was talking about fits comparing his CPU to yours. Was it that hard to understand?

Yes it was actually, as you put the statement under a quote from me.

Fits is a great overclocker and i think he can get it stable anytime he needs too or hell let you know its not.

No. That's not what it means at all because -I- never said any of those things. You were responding to statements, and I was quoting the last post in that topic of conversation. :wtf:

Yes, it's a 24/7 rig, along with my P35 rig as well.
I'm not far away from having all the componants together to start building a benching SS.
All i'm waiting on at the moment is some brazing rods, Acetalyne and some pipe.











i used mine like for a week mine makes to much heat with the ac off

I'm in the UK, so it's cold enough to make use of the SS to heat the room anyway :laugh:

thats a nice small unit so do you got any high oc runs on like superpi 32m and wprime 1024m

mine drops to -42c on the evap on those runs but didnt run realtemp to see how high the cores got

Great setup. Clean, which is refreshing to see. How's the noise?

The only runs i have done so far with wprime 1024m and 32m Pi are at 4.7ghz. They were done using the modded Mach2, which is now back on my P35 rig. I'll eventually get round to running them on the benching SS when it's built.

It's only noisey when the fans go up to 100%, and that only happens when running Linx or Prime or OCCT. So 99% of the time it's fairly quiet.

I turned mine down to 3.8GHz

I was getting random lockups and BSODS as i said before, even though i was stable 10 runs with IBT on High. However, if i put very high on, it crashed so now runing 3.8GHz at mere 1.23V for now (10 runs on Very High). It might do it at under 1.2V

My chip doesnt like high BCLK, thats why it needs mass amounts of voltage past 180-185. I tried 200x20 and i got the 101 BSOD which indicates CPU VCore, 210 x 19 is out of this world for me. Butthead CPU

ive got mine back at stock clocks with only 1.05V :)

these I7 920 can work with VERY little volts. i ran IBT with 8 threads and max mem for 5 runs and never topped 60 deg with it being 83 deg F in the house. We are in the middle of changing AC units in my house over to the new energy efficient central H/A and until then i have to deal with the next days forecast of how hot its going to be :( SO i have just decided to go back stock clock and set the volts low to reduce any over heating.

I managed to lower it down 1 click to 1.23125 in the bios now, 1.225 locked me up on the 5th run.

I might try 1.225 again with some aditional tweaking

So 3.8 GHz @ 1.23125v? Not so bad, seems about right man.

You having temperature problems? Why so concerned about voltage unless you're needing 1.4+ to get there like a few I've seen.

You need to grab a 980X now. lol.

Nice rig, btw.
