TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Again very impressive, sub 10 super Pi's are always cool, I remember CP told me to disable hyperthreading so you go down to 4 -4 cores/threads and you should gain a few points off that SuperPi.,

Also look in you task manager and see what you can turn off, every little bit helps, Got to roll into the sub 9's , your so close.

excellent effort! :rockout:

Hmm i didn't think about disabling HT.. will try again soon!
 
I'm disabling HT.. be right back soon.

Binge.. I will ;)
 
Ok done.

But now i've another problem.. my windows is acting weird.. I can't go into control panel ... when I click on an image.. the screen won't pop up.. wth is this?

I'm back at 3,8Ghz @ 1.28v btw
 
that's strange, disabling hyperthreading should not effect your OS, maybe you corrupted something when you were running the benchies. Or your cpu OC is unstable.

take a look at yoru performance monitor and see what it's doing

I'm back to my normal oc now.

3,8Ghz @ 1,28v 100% stable.

But before i went for the 4,4Ghz I disabled all ''eye candy'' settings in control panel / system, .and I went to services.msc and stopped a few processes but now i'm back to my normal oc and windows is acting weird HMMMMM...

I tried to right click on dekstop-> personalization .. nothing happend..Went back to ''safe boot'' and i discovered that I had to enable the ''themes'' services. Well I did that.. Now I have Aro again but windows is still acting wierd.. i do have sound though and everything else is fine except windows explorer.exe
 
man your getting so close to the sub 9 pi's, great job!

I won't go extreme like this anymore.

Btw first time a windows broke because of overclocking lmao..

Now i've to reinstall -.-
 
Hi there!
I need some help :)
Today I will get my:
i7 920
GA-EX58-EXTREME
and Kingmax DDR3-1600 3GB TC kit

I wanna rock my new rig, and I have to know:
Required turn off the energy saver features to get bigger stability when I overclocking the CPU?

THX

Yes.
 
Currently running an hour of prime on 1.4750 vCore (1.440 in CPU-Z) and 1.440 QPI... still running.

Might be able to get 4.0 Ghz stable like that.

Man, that's a high vcore for 4.0ghz. There is either some other tweak you're missing or you kinda have a bum chip. :wtf:
 
Either of those reasons yeah, but I'm not aiming for a 24/7 4Ghz OC anymore, just want to touch and taste it :D

Don't let it discourage you. You get used to it. lol. Just make sure to keep all of your important info on a different drive or partition. Eases the reinstall blues. lol.

And just as a tip, it's usually unstable ram that corrupts Windows during OCing.
 
great runs mudkip. HT off did help you heh? I have been extremely lazy to try anything new myself, i've been enjoying the rig a lot :laugh:
 
This was a surprise. I was certain I'd find HyperX chips on these Mushkin Redlines, but this is what I got instead.

I'm hearing that there is a shortage of Hyper-X chips, which is why they are only in a few of the more expensive sticks. The DDR3 market is dominated by Elpida mid-high end IC's. That's what a friend of mine in the memory industry has told me.
 
3 hours and 40 minutes on 4Ghz... personal record :D
Not gonna run it overnight, I need my sleep now. Will do a longer run tomorrow.

Yeah it's really weird.. I'll have to reinstall again. But I won't oc to 4,5Ghz anymore.. that was too crazy for just on air :P :banghead:
 
BOING

Damn, i thought so to, but i'm sure there high binned midrange...

The sticks are pretty good. No gains in my max OC, but my max OC seems a lot more stable now. I've also noticed some great response in applications to the change in memory. Primarily in online games.
 
bling! 2k ram. Still not as good as HyperX though :(
