Well I didnt know it was going to boot up at that much, I brought it down a lot, check it out: i ran all the benchies im about to post at 1.411v.

 






Imma, go run 3dmark now and see whats up :)
 
Hey CP, this is a little off topic, but can you use www.techpowerup.org to host your images. Imageshack is slow as balls for me.
 
tpu capture just uploads it to tpu.org anyway.
 
I'm about to order my parts. FIT already knows :rockout:

I'll be selling my current RAM and CPU so I'll be listing it here when I have my new rig up :)

woohoo, great dude. What is your Nehalem build going to consist of?
 
3dmark 06 :) now if I only stopped being lazy and flashed my card, I can hit over 18k easily on one card. If I only could clock my card like Dark's :) 870 core

awesome bro, you are going to love it. Keep us posted.
 
At 3.8GHz and HT enable, it only requires 1.34v for vcore. I already test this with prime95, 7 hours+
And, 1.35 at 4.1GHz for HT disable.

I think these settings are the best for aircooler.

what temps are you getting on air?
 
According to my mobo, it never cross 60C, according to coretemp and real temp, 65C max.
 
going back to vista hurt me on my 3dmark 06 scores a bit, but heres vantage up 1000 points with just an overclock


i had sidebar running, TPU capture, i can probably squeeze a bit out of it if I disabled some unneccesary stuff.

i7 4.2 GHz 11000 vantage.jpg
 
Uhh... 10,000 for PI, 11,000 for Vantage, you're lucky with round numbers :D.

haha, I know, i was just thinking the same thing



although in vantage, that is my best till date, but could be better, my cpu score was lower at 4.2 GHz than it was at 3.3 GHz, weird.
