TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

but your TDP and temps are going up. more and more.

i have bad news....
 
yeah thats fine but your temps are crazy.

do you have a thermometer to read them manually?

no sir.

See why I want to focus on getting my new parts first and skip on that great deal on the BP blocks for the board. Temps arent good. And that was HT off!!!!! :eek:
 
I thought you were trading your 920 + a lotta cash for a 965 fit?
 
i7 cpu

Hi all, I have been playing with my new Gigabyte m/b EX58-UP4D and the 920 cpu. So far I have managed to over clock it to 3.1 without any trouble. I just ordered a new water block from Koolance for the cpu. But for using the stock heatsink and fan it seem pretty fair. I ran 3DMark Vant. Performance and scored a 13519. I look to better that as soon as the water block gets here. I have not changed the cpu voltage and i'm not sure what to change it to....anyone got any ideas? Thanks all I'll keep ya posted as I move along.:toast:
 
So far as I've seen all our i7s have worked far differently from each other. You are better off experimenting with voltages between stock and 1.5v most of us don't go too far over 1.5v for stuff between 4.3-5.5ghz
 
Thanks for replying!

Would thoes stock to 1.5 V. be for the cpu vcore only or could they be used as a guide for the QPI VTT and the IOH Core also? Thanks for your time and effort!

It would all be very different for you than for us because of vdroop and a ton of other variables. Other than that the qpi voltage and dram voltage must be within .5 of each other or you will fry your cpu. Ex. 1.35 QPIv can support up to 1.85v DRAM

You're going to have to play with the other variables in question as much as you will have to play with your vCore. The only reason I gave you an estimate of the vCore is because that's what I've seen around the forums. My personal experience with the i7 has been very different than a good number of people on the forums. With our chips differing in quality as much as our motherboards there has not been a surefire solution to any matter concerning voltages except for the QPI vs DRAM rule.

Don't feel overwhelmed by the underwhelming amount of information. The moment you start getting your hands dirty then there will be plenty of questions you'll ask. At least then I'll be better at giving direction.
 
Whats the highest stable clock anyone here has achieved on air so far?

I'm gonna be buying a 920 soon, so I'm stating some preliminary research, I've decided on the Zalman cnps9900 as my air cooler.
 
4.2 on water. There have been more but they use LN2

196 baseclock x 21 = 4116 MHz, HT Off, DDR3 1568MHz.
190 x 20 = 3.8GHz, HT On, DDR3 1520MHz.
200 x 20 = 4000MHz, HT Off, DDR3 1600MHz. <-- I'm running at this setting.

All passed prime95 for over 8 hours on my Cooler Master Z600R Dual-fans.
 
^^^alright FIT, congrats bro, those things look sexy!!!
 
Does anyone know how high you have to raise the... err not front side bus thing before you run the risk of hard drive corruption? Or have they found a way to make that a non-issue regardless of how high you set it.

are you referring to the BCLK? Base Clock?

pcie freq?

i run mine at 113mhz with no problems.
 
dead fucking stock... this is what ppl are dreaming of here...

oh... single card too.
