EVGA X58 and an i7 920 @3.7Ghz ...for now.

Sasqui · Jan 23, 2017

New build for crunching. The plan is to put an X5670 ot X5660 in it.. For now this is what's going on using a stock intel air cooler:

With Prime95, temps top out at 93c (core 2), using RealTemp. Running BOINC, no more than 80c.

All I've done so far is update the MB BIOS to 83, and mess with the Bus Speed. The MULTIPLIER in BIOS won't go any higher than 20, though it shows 21 on CPUz. If I go higher than 180 MHz with the bus speed, it's unstable. Any advice?

:toast:

So is that an EVGA motherboard and which one? oh... in the title..EVGA but which one and what revision # ?

Drop memory speed to 1333 or 1600 and see how it goes with the multiplier. 19 x 210?

This is crazy. I just dusted off the cob webs off of my Classified 759 920-D0. I use to be able to get it to 4.0ghz but it took a lot of voltage. Right now at 3.6ghz where its always been. Will share notes in next couple days. Brings back memories..

X58 132-BL-E758-A1... not very popular but it works. First time for me with that platform. Jumped from Core2 to Ivy Bridge 3570k. And beyond with a 4790k.

This will eventually have an X5670 or X5660 in it for Crunching 6c/12t. They are notorious for 4.5 Ghz.

Does it have the GREEN Ram slots? If so I need to give you additional info.

Stock cooler ain't going to cut the mustard
seriously Recomend Changing that for a better cooler

I think so, will check tonight.

I have a Scythe Asura to replace the OEM. For now... impatient to fire it up and see what she's got. Wasn't disappointed.

davidm71 · Jan 23, 2017

So you got to 3.78 on the stock cooler? That's pretty impressive. The 920 was one of the best overclocking chips ever. I wouldn't be surprised you could get yours to 4.0 ghz on the scythe. Maybe try a corsair closed loop water cooler.

Yea, surprised me too, close to a 30% overclock!

I plan to stick with air only, as this is going to be a 24/7 crunching rig. Not to mention I already have the Scythe waiting to go on. Also, the i7-920 will be replaced with an X5670 or X5660 in the next week.

well stock cooler on those chips is meant just to cool stock settings on that CPU and sometimes isn't enough, you might have a golden chip there sir, so replace stock one and apply quality TIM and call it done, also here might be a place for you, to share with others like you ! intel core i7 Owners Club, feel free to take a watch!

Thanks @peche ...already own an i7-4790k (at 4.7 Ghz under air), so I really should bob over there and show off the goods.

I'm glad that's working out for you

Hey, do you still have a pic of that board? I looked on your BST thread and you took it down. If not, no worries.

so you are ultra welcome ! great chip 4790K ! interesting !

davidm71 · Jan 23, 2017

What numbers are you crunching? Sounds very costly considering cost of electricity. I use mine to encode video and finding the CPU isn't all that great at it contrasted against CUDA gpu power.

Sorry for the double post, my phone is acting flaky... World Community Grid WCG: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/forums/world-community-grid-wcg.68/
Doesn't use GPU power. It does use a lot of power though...

Jetster · Jan 23, 2017

It broke my heart a little to see it in that case like that. Some people just don't appreciate good parts. I'm glade its found a good home

peche · Jan 23, 2017

just replace that "Jet Turbine" cooler that makes a lot of noise and be happy!

I did a double take at the cable mismanagement lol. I'll share a pic when its off the diningroom table and into a nice Rosewill case. Seasonic x650 should be on its way from @rtwjunkie today.

I don't think you can do a WESTMERE chip without this: http://forums.evga.com/132BLE758A1-Rev-10-Westmere-Mod-m2153248.aspx

http://forums.evga.com/E758-3x-SLi-Westmere-Mod-m2068568.aspx

Also, the board has a known factory issue with the sleep function. It was fixed in the next revision board that has a dark grey ram slot theme which also does Westmere natively.

I'm running a 950 chip in mine, I have a 930 if you think it would help.

It would also be helpful to repaste heatsinks; fan (middle of board) and lower evga one. The power phases, left of cpu, near I/O panel has a thermal pad.

Fuck, I guess I'm stuck with 4 cores. I don't have the skill to move micro resistors. :banghead:

I think i was reading somewhere that if you ship them the board they will mod it for free.
