TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

the haunted

great job bro, :toast:
 
Lol @ 22x multi Fits, you had me "WTF" for a minute there... :D

If you're going for the highest speed on that chip, I could agree with that method, but I can imagine it doesn't perform as well as when you're actually using the entire chip...
 
Here is my best 24/7 low voltage everyday clock

that keeps the heat reasonable on air.

I know you like my 10 year olds art work so here is some more. :D
 
That's pretty decent on air with HT on at those speeds.

I agree, good job TRT. I'm sure when you learn the board a bit more, you'll get much better results :D

maybe but thats 3.9ghz with default voltage on everything but the core using 200+ FSB. I can go much higher on turbo but that is smoken fast at that low of voltage.

you have everything set on auto as far as voltages, but vcore?
 
Well, I bit the bullet and will be joining the club soon. Just ordered:

MEM 2Gx3|CRUC CT3KIT25664BA1067 R <-- Fit's recommendation
2 x VGA PNY VCGGTX295XPB GTX295 RTL <-- one retail, one used
MB BIOSTAR TPOWERX58 1366 X58 RT <-- Decided not to get the open box (which cost me $100 more :( )
PSU SILVERSTONE|OP1000-E 1000W <-- already have one of these in my current rig
i7 920 8344axxxx <-- supposed to be able to do 4.5 GHz
 
damn....

im 1 step ahead of the game...

i've got something planned to keep ahead of you guys since you all seem to be chasing me now.

i know systemviper bested me but i have a feeling i can beat that :pimp:

cheers :toast:
 
WOOT GO QUEBECKER!!! now your haunting my dreams :( I wish I'd get an i7 OCed to 4.6Ghz for Easter!
 
Hey I was working on my overclock while doing some Calculus work and I kept getting this error in Linx, I never ran into it before, every time I had a problem the computer would BSOD on me. Now I do not have the time to run Prime 95 or mess with it more tonight, but I wanted to know what you all think. I have been trying a lower multi which is working better for me so far. I could not get past a Base clock of 187 with a 20 mulitplier, I was unsure why that was so I tried x19 and have been successful so far. I want to see if I can cut some voltage on the core to have it run cooler, and see how that works. My RAm is rated for 1333mhz and not it is running a 2:8 raito with the uncore making the ram run at 1640Mhz which seems like a good overclock on the RAM, could that be my error. I have yet to run Memtest +86 to see what that says, but it is my guess of what might be holding me back.

Settings:
Speedstep Off
EIST Off
C-State Off
Bittech (or w/e it is called) Off
HPET On
Spread Specturm Off
HPET For x58 On
What ever other power modes Off

CPU core: +0.220 V
QPI +.180V
CPU PLL 1.80V
DRAM 1.60
OTHER RAM VOLTAGES 0.800V
IOH 1.10V
ICH 1.50V (I think whatever default for this board)

Running MSI x68 Eclipse with TRUE and 2 S-flex high spds. Ram is G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) F3-10666CL9T-6GBNQ running 9-9-9-24 1T Link
So far the Ram has passed many Memtest's with a 1450 overclock.

@Jake-Try to drop your memory multiplier and see if that increases stability of your LinX bench. If it does then either your qpi or memory is at fault.

For everyone else... AN UPDATE!!!

binge werent you getting the same temps before with your PA120.3???

Looks good though bro :toast:
 
Look at the time core damage was active. My PA 120.3 would be warm to the touch after 10 minutes and hit 70C. This MO-RA doesn't even get warm and sits at 69C. I would be getting even better temps but damned if my flow went down a bit because of this radiator... lol

You know what this means though CP? I'll be able to WC both my i7920 and GTX 295 on the same radiator. That was the whole reason for getting the mo-ra.

P.S. I challenge you to get as good of a temp at 4.0GHz with core damage running for the same amount of time. ;)

I deny your challenge :slap:


haha thats good bro, you getting dual pumps now or something. Or maybe an Iwaki;)??
 
I will have two pumps but it will be something like this...

PUMP-manifold/CPU\manifold-PUMP-RAD-RES-
__\GPU/​

Ignore the __... the idea is that I will have a pump at either end of the manifold.

haha man I cant wait. This is going to be one crazy build.
 
now working on lowering voltage

with thermal management 4.0.jpg



enjoy the Easter art work

GUYS!!!

please help everyone out.

start crunching with your i7 while your off doing other stuff.

i7s are hella powerful crunchers guys.

like folding, this helps out the entire world.

PLEASE i ask you..... donate your i7s to crunching even if its just a few hours a day.
 
damn....

Glad to hear that, look forward to your numbers... :rockout:
