[Binge]

Right now I'm takin names with low latency DDR3 @ 1200MHz

1200MHz @ 6-6-6-14

very useful info dude, thanks. interesting i'll be reading up there as I am considering i7 for the near future.

I think he is getting it now

i took my time and did the experimentation with everything to find the feel of the board. now im getting somewhere but its been a long stressful process. when i get this all figured out i'll be better off than the guys that are just juicing the hell outta the chips to get high OC's. death runs arent always the best thing. i think i'll be at 4.4-4.5ghz soon and mabye figure out what it takes to get 4.6+ghz. who knows.

I can't wait to see those benchmarks. By the background it looks like an XP install?

Yes it is, but it is the best method is it not?

But


Death Clocks rock the house lol even better if you do it the right way with death volts lol

special build i made with all the crap pulled out

im working on a super secret 7 build that should be SICK for benching.

 

[Fitseries3]

here we go again...

3 gtx's wont run at all on this board at 4ghz. im trying high voltages and it still seems to not want to run.

errrr.

any suggestions?

 

[Fitseries3]

get on up, get on up.....

It passed all the benchmarks at 1.375v (~20mins of benchmarks).

But it couldn't run Prime95 for over 3 mins.

Lolz.

Your QPI speed seems a little low for the overclock, and that's not stable. I can run Prime95 or CPU Damage for any amount of time, but I'd rather not as the heat the cpu can produce doing those tests is intense. Literally I've never seen any program heat up my cpu to the temps prime95 or CPU Damage has been able to accomplish.

Well, I just got the i7 running, this is all stock for now, all I can say is i'm very happy


all default settings on cpu and card

and ram

Nice to see you have joined the Intel side Chicken. Now if you still have your W/C loop, should grab a Apogee GTZ and LGA1366 mounting kit. Temps will be much improved.

thanks bro. I am getting my board exchanged, I still wanna get a Phenom II, but I can see that the i7 is great so far and I havent even overclocked hehe.


I will go watercooling soon, but not right now, hopefully with my next check or two i'll get the loop setup and that is the block I will get too!

 

[Binge]

Ahah... I forgot that you aren't running water through it. I've noticed that a TRUE will do almost as well but water will handle the load longer. Those scores are really nice for 2.66GHz stock and a stock 4870!

 

[dark2099]

You will need a hex wrench to take apart the GTZ, I don't know what size off hand. And some patience, they didn't do the best design. Some parts may or may not be tricky.

when you buy it, do you have to take it apart to put it on?

7/64 hex~ It was not tricky at all.

only the card overclocked
