TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

there are 2 hole patterns though. same as the rampage 2 extreme. one being a tad larger than the other.

Over 4GHz with the Core i7 920!? I can't wait to get my 920!

Yes. The other set of holes is for the optional fan standoffs.
Am not sure if a wb can be screwed in those.

For some reason, after I updated my bios to F4J, the CPU stopped jumping back to 20x under heavy load. (200x21, 4.2GHz)

Fitseries3 · Dec 14, 2008

you may just go with a standard NB cooler man. now that i look at it it may not work. IDK why they did things like that.

Nice overclock. Are you gonna try and push it more?

I'm playing with it, but I don't think I can get any higher than this with my heatsink. :eek:

If I would get to the point of adding a NB block to my P6T Deluxe then I think I would want to remove the fins as in this image and try to attach it using the same screws. So the question that needs answered is what is the distance in mm between the two screw holes identified by the red line (center to center)? Of course you'd need to know if using the screws would work. Just looking at it without getting access to the screws it looks like 45mm.

You should be happy at that clock, I would be. 3.8GHz is hella fast man.

Yeah, but it's Overclocking after all, you can't stop when you still have hopes that it can get higher. And it's fun too.

So far, this is the highest clock that I could run prime95.

This is with HT disable, there is no way I could run prime95 at 4GHz with HT enabled. :roll:

I stopped the test after 3 hours and a half, and moving to the next step...

J-Man · Dec 15, 2008

This is on air cooling? That's awesome! I should achieve 4GHz on the 920 with my CPU cooling.

Fitseries3 · Dec 15, 2008

well... i think i have found the limit of all my hardware. i cant get any better scores and its cause the 4870x2s are at max oc, 920 is at max oc and gtx260s are at max oc.

time to help CP....

I think I've found the first really attractive piece(s) of hardware to me.

BAM!!!!!!!

its 2f outside and my thermometer says 18f in here and dropping by the min.

JrRacinFan · Dec 15, 2008

Holy shiz fits! Does the Physx processing really help with such high end sh*t? Also on a side note, that's bad luck to have your gpu clock @ 666! :eek:

Fitseries3 · Dec 15, 2008

hahahahahahah~!!!!!

physx ROCKS man. the guys on XS think its bullshit but who cares.
