TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[Fitseries3]

ah the suspense...

 

[Solaris17]

fit i have to say i know you can do it and i always knew it was going to be you but TPU is going to have a WR finally and i must say not only am i proud to know you but seriously im so excited for you its rediculous

 

[Fitseries3]

the funny thing is im doing this with regular hardware thats not really moded in any way.

heres the list of things i have done...

modded gtx260 bios for more voltage
modded both sapphire 4870x2s with asus top bios(modded fanspeeds and voltage)
microlapped cpu, NB, gtz, and nb-max with toothpaste... LOL, it does help guys.
im running 4 scythe ultra kaze 133cfm fans. 2 on video cards, 2 on mobo/vrm's
window is open and ambient temps are currently 12f and still dropping. VERY cold in here but i'll survive.

nothing really too odd. i run x2's fans at 45% and gtx's fans at 60%.

cyberdruid suggested that i run my iwaki rd30 ~18v instead of 24v. at 18 its slow enough to allow the water to absorb more heat. fans on rad are adjusted by what i think it needs. i kinda wish there was a software controlled way to do this.

hahahahahahah~!!!!!

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

fit do you like that forum at all bro? For some reason I don't. There are silly rules and the community is nothing like here bro. I just like stopped login in today, its ridiculous!

i do but there are alot of doods on there that think they are better than everyone else.

i want everyone to check out a new site that im going to be repping now...

http://www.realredraider.com/

you can also find martins liquid lab there as well.

I hate that about XS just because you dont sport a $3k system they think you must not know as much as them or tht your inferior in some way...or that their site is the best because fugger or sometshit logs on their. well we got george so w/e

 

[Solaris17]

btw fit 1up on the rep job grats

i 2nd that till death!!! couldn't have been said better. I got into a little argument in an AMD thread I was subscribed to. Guy started to bash me because I had posted that I got the rig running, but that i bought an i7, and some guy asked me for a comparison, and I told him that you know, that I am getting way better results and stuff, and this guy jumps in and says that he will kick my ass with his Phenom II and that to not go off topic, that I don't have to go on their and rub it in their face because I made a better choice, WTF!!!!!! lame

that site seems pretty cool, you became a member already?

 

[Fitseries3]

im a vendor on there. i'll be posting some interesting stuff on there and here soon.

I mean dont get me wrong their are some intelligent people over their and TPU and XS probably have the biggest site rivelry in existence but the general mood over their is pretty intolerable if you ask me. and imo their staff needs an overhaul for letting that atmosphere slide. and dont get me started on the rules and regs.....rediculous i sighned up to help someone in a thread and i wasnt approved for 2 weeks...still dont remember what i was going to reply to

no of course, but that is in every forum, every forum has their group of intelligent members, and what I do like about XS is that they have lots of xtreme stuff like, ln2 bechmarks and extreme overclocking threads and such. Interesting you know, but yeah, the atmosphere there is just not to my liking.

The colors over there are also all wrong

Look what I found on your 'repping' site.

For those looking for a NB/SB/MOSFETs watercooling solution for the P6T Deluxe then this might be what you're looking for.

alright so this is where i'm at right now. 3.4 GHz @ 1.2v. RAM at 678 MHz, NB at 2713 MHz, and QPI @ 3052 MHz.

I tried to 3dmark at 3.5 GHz 1.25v and it crashed right after it finished, however, since my LCD poster displays CPU temps while in windows, during 3dmark it reached 80ºc. So I backed down to 3.4 Ghz after and limited myself for now. I think i'm just going to order the Apogee GTz and putting under water this week, can't wait any longer, temps are getting ridiculous.

196Baseclock, x21 multi, 4.116MHz, 1.35v, HT disabled.

Prime 95, In-place large FFTs option.

From 7PM -> 2:30AM.

EDIT: passed 13 hours.

 

[Solaris17]

why disable HT?

 

[Fitseries3]

HT uses a TON more voltage.

 

[Solaris17]

ahhh ok good to know

 

[kid41212003]

I was able to boot into Windows, surfing webs at 4.2GHz with HT enable, 1.375v vcore, when I increased the CPU PLL to 2.0v (system won't boot into Windows at 1.9v 2.2v or AUTO).

But I couldn't do any tests with it.

Bin said my QPI speed is too low, and that's why my system is not stable. But did you mean QPI link speed? or NB frequency?

System won't post with x44 QPI link speed, but I was able to boot into Windows with Uncore x20 (4000MHz). But that didn't help...

 

[Fitseries3]

is 2v pll in the red zone on your board?

 

[kid41212003]

is 2v pll in the red zone on your board?

Nope.

EDIT: The only red zone in my bios is memory voltage, I think it's 2v+

 

[Fitseries3]

2v pll + is RED danger zone on my board. must be an asus only thing.


where is the red zone? is there a yellow zone?

you said 2v pll got it to boot... i wonder if that will help me with my problems.

i know the NB needs a good bump if you are running ram over 1600mhz. i run NB up to 1.53v with 3 video cards. 1.3v is fine for 1 or 2 cards though.
