TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

God damnit... microcenter needs to hurry its ass up to WA... I'm sick of there in store deals and not getting my shot at them!
 
Windows 7 Release Candidate Customer Preview Program:

By the way Paul, how fast did Vista install? Was it like 5 minutes? I was blown away on how freakin fast it installed.

Yeah, Vista installs fast with i7's. Hey, when I try to download Win7, I get this, and it never starts to download. I'm used to downloads starting automatically. What else do I need to do?:o

idk if i should tell....

You just love the drama, don't you fit? :laugh:
 
from what i see i'll upgrade to a 975 before i go another 920 D0.

my c0/c1 clocks 4.2 @ 1.38 and 1.26vtt

3dmark crashes for some reason though.. it doesn't bsod, or over heat, it just reboots
 
If you have HT on, add another 0.05v on both vcore and vtt, and see if crash or not. :laugh:
 
Actually, with each of the 3 i7 chips I've owned, WCG averages 3-4c hotter than OCCT. Man, I was due a good chip!

same here man, weird, but WCG avergaes higher temps.
 
It's also a Java script so you may run into settings kicking back any auto scripting.
 
I did it in IE, just to be safe, as it is an MS website, after all.

Yeah, I'll give it another try tonight using IE.

On a much happier note. Right before I left for work this morning, I posted and booted to Windows at 4.8ghz on 1.37v. I had to leave, so no time for testing or screenies though. That will come tonight. :rockout:

Screen shots or it didn't happen! :laugh: I want to see 4.8GHz!! :rockout:
 
Before I start pushing this chip and post high clocks, I decided to play with some low vcore. I have this stable, with no work at all..
