TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[2lowSniper]

We pretty much all have or are building i7 rigs dude.

 

[n-ster]

Then y'all will have to show us the OCs!

 

[Chicken Patty]

Why don't I get posting from you like that...

im getting there dude got over 400 and just joined about 3 months ago.

TPU is just too addicting xD welcome to the forum guys! anyone of you have an i7??

I do

Then y'all will have to show us the OCs!

there is 126 pages worth of overclocks, down clocks, even just clocks

 

[n-ster]

lol... I think all 41k+ members know that you have an i7 CP xD always nice to know the OCs of the new guys!

really?

Well anyways, here are my daily settings, i'll contribute.


DIMM voltage is 1.65v

 

[Chicken Patty]

guys got a question"

I have my tri channel kit of pi blacks. Would I be able to put in my old Corsairs? I used to run them at the speed an timings that my Pi blacks are running. This way I can have a 5gb total. 3gb doesnt seem to cut it for some games. This is just temporary until I can get another tri channel kit of pi's

whats stopping you? color?

 

[RedRaider]

I Must Use Black PCB RAM...

 

[Chicken Patty]

fuckers


Guess i'll try it soon.

Hey trt if you disable "Vcore Droop Control:.............Enabled" then you won't have voltage droop. That is if that's what you want.

 

[mudkip]

Hey guys,

I rhink i've found the right settings for 4Ghz.

21x 190 @ 1.38vcore , disappointed though, 21x182 = 3,8Ghz 1.28vcore and for 0,2Ghz extra I need to set the voltage quite high...

will post screens soon when i'm done with stable testing

That's very typical of these chips.

Do you think that the D0 stepping will overclock better? Maby even the bad D0's?

If that would be true. i'm going to buy one immediately when it's available

I could imagine these CPU's running stable everyday like at 4.4-4.5 GHz. That would be something to see!

you make me so hard...

Edit: btw i've reached 4,4+ Ghz already but on 1.55v

Can you please re write your post

and yes I mean 4.4-4.5 on reasonable voltage and with more ease than the current CPU's.

 

[mudkip]

Can you please re write your post

 

[Fitseries3]

yeah...see... thats what i thought


its there.

i'll give you time to figure it out.

ive got 4.7ghz so far.

Lock multi on 21x and then turbo on?
