Enjoy the new but old RAM

Hey Binge, I know your experienced with the i7 920's, whats the highest overclock you have achieved with one of them and which board, was it the classified?

4.75GHz and yes it was on a classified. My 2nd highest which was more impressive was 4.68GHz on air with a Foxconn Bloodrage.

It's new. The heatsinks are even slightly different. Tested them on a spare x58 rig and they did 2133MHz out of the box with little tweaking.

uhh so it's not the same exact RAM. 2133 out of the box is awesome! :rockout:

The new one's clocking as well as the first batch?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 12, 2010

thats insane, remember when there was 2ghz cpus

things have changed

Oh yeah they are

Great memory Paulie.

@Binge, what tim you running to get that high ? also what volts ?

Thats pretty damn good :toast:

, have you tried the Rampage Extreme II for Overclocking?

Yeah I know hey man, reminds me of the athlon XP 2100+ & 2.0ghz P4 days lol :laugh:

The p6t6 was a deal I could work out thanks to Fit. A trade for my Enermax Revolution 1050W psu. As for the case I got one of these- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119216&Tpk=cm690 ii advanced

My 800D is being chopped up by some mad-man as we speak.

Hope its being chopped up by a sane mad-man. :laugh:

@Don: Yea, after messing around with some AM3 boards (1 MSI, 2 Gigabyte) I'm kind of leery of getting anything but Asus boards. Both the Gigabyte boards have twitchy Ethernet ports and the MSI board can't hold voltage to save its life. Even my old P5B board could do this.

I've had 3 Asus boards and they all have done one thing well: worked when needed on a consistent, reliable basis. They may not be the best overclockers compared to others, but I don't have to be concerned about part of the board not working. I know others might have had other experiences but in my book Asus is where I'll look first for a board.

quick question 81c bad temp @ 4ghz?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 13, 2010

its a tad to high imo, i like to keep it below 80c

but i think intels have 100c before something serious happens

ERazer · Mar 13, 2010

running LinX highest got 81c but hovers around 77-78c

guess need WC for 24/7 crunching

(FIH) The Don · Mar 13, 2010

what speed?

if it dosnt go above that then you should be in the safe zone, but still a bit high, throw up a cpu-z/temp screen

mastrdrver · Mar 13, 2010

Depends. What are you using for cooling, is it in a case or no, and what voltage?

ERazer · Mar 13, 2010

ther u go

(FIH) The Don · Mar 13, 2010

thats not bad, its only one of the cores.

i think you're in the safe zone atm

ERazer · Mar 13, 2010

vcore @ 1.4125
qpi@ 1.24
pll@ 1.9
PCH core @ auto - dunno volt to set it at

linx been running for 48m then just failed @ last freaking cycle :cry:

help

(FIH) The Don · Mar 13, 2010

try upping the qpi a little. i know my 920 needs 1.3+- at 4.0 ghz

but you vcore seems high imo=

ERazer · Mar 13, 2010

from wat i heard 860 needed higher vcore to hit 4ghz

(FIH) The Don · Mar 13, 2010

well i really dont know it since i dont have one

how is you chipset temps?

If it made it 48 minutes then I agree you need more vvt volts. Also, your GFlop numbers are low for 4Ghz. They need to be between 52 and 53 otherwise your volts are lot. Even if you complete a 25 pass LinX run and your GFlop numbers are not in that range you need more volts until you get into that range with HT on. The amount of memory used doesn't effect this number only ram and uncore speed but you should still be right at 50 if those are at the minimum multis. I would give vvt a couple bumps then rerun cause your still quite a bit short.

What is your ram speed, CAS timing, and uncore?

Chicken Patty · Mar 13, 2010

Yeah I'd try to stay under 80ºc.

I like running my i7 920's at 3.8 GHz for crunching as the temps stay around 58-60 degrees C.

+1, me too, even though mine is like 70c

3.8 GHz seems to be their sweet spot. The only reason I run mine higher is because I wanted to see if I still remembered the settings from before I sold the setup so I loaded my 4.1GHz settings which I remembered. I just have to back it down one of these days. It's getting really hot in my room, 3.8 GHz I can run like 1.17-1.18v and keep the heat down a lot!
