TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Paulieg said:
So, for everyone who is running 4.0+ 24/7, what vcore are you currently using? Right now, I'm at 4.0ghz 1.40v, OCCT stable.

1.317v for me and depending on load it goes between 1.317-1.325v. a stress test with maximum stress increases my vcore to 1.35v only under stress test.
 
HT on or off?

Yeah, I'm asking for HT on vcore. Oh, and I'm refering to a stress stable clock. A year or two ago, no one would even refer to a high overclock, unless it was stable. Here's mine so far:

over a month of use, gaming etc. and I have been crunching with this setup of 4.0 GHz for about two weeks or so whenever I joined as I have posted many screenshots. So yeah, I don't know what other people call that, but to me thats stable.

they are indeed very beautiful. I might consider them if I get some crucials like fit and binge did, and whoever else bought them. Didnt you buy them too SV?

Oh yea, I go 2 sets, and i might get another 2, I am building 2 workstations that don't need super overclocks, which means these would be perfect. And I just love the look of shiney copper stuff, i loved the mosfet enzo's and southie enzo block, so i figure fi found great ram and Binge found the closer, those enzo coolers! :toast:
 
So is the new chips any help on the 5ghz mark?

Just asking before really reading on the catch up.

gotcha, I just noticed people say corsairs usually run cool, but the Pi's that I just received a few days ago from FTI stay much cooler than my Corsairs did. Weird?
 
Server chips

Nehalem EP
 
I wish I had one :( or access to one :(

ok, here is what I was able to do as far as cable management with fits PCP&C 860W PSU.

The two PCI-E connectors to the right of the pump are now connected to the 2nd card. Everything comes out of the hole in the mobo tray and connects to where it goes. I dont think it'll get better unless I can sleeve the wires, but eff that, too much work.

Did you get the Corsairs a while ago, maybe they are the older chips and now the newer chips actually are better designed and actually do run cooler, that would be great.

I was lucky enough to get a set of these....
Comming soon.

Kingston HyperX 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)


these are what is the shizzle right now for i7 memory -EDPIDA hyper- 1.63~1.65V 2000 CL 7-8-7-20-1T
