TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

n-ster · Feb 27, 2009

you mean with a saw

now guys, in your opinions, what GPU should you get for an i7 system when on budget?

and what do you think of the 4850x2? noisy, slower driver support?, great bang/buck is what I got so far

is the s1283v a good CPU cooler for the i7?

The s1284 is just a tad larger, so it touches more of the heatspreader.

I'd go with a double CF 4830, 4850x2, 4870 or higher. My 3870 bottlenecks benchies...
Or obviously one of the high-end nVidia cards (260 and up).

So far, it's a mixed bag with my Biostar Tpower x58, even with the newest bios. My 4.0ghz overclock is more stable on less volts than the DFI, but I'm having memjory issues. It's seems that I can only use the lowest divider/memory frequency, or the board will not even post. So, I'm stuck at 1200mhz 6-6-6-18 on 1.66v right now which sucks, since the DFI board clocked these sticks well over 1600mhz stable. I just PM'd a Biostar rep about this issue. I'm sure it has something to do with settings I'm not yet familiar with.

all my dfi runs have been with a xigy DK. even teh 4.45ghz one in my sig.

n-ster · Feb 27, 2009

DK + bracket? is it better to go DK+i7 bracket or s1283v? because s1284ee needs a bracket too... which one :confused:

why did spearman say this?:

Nah don't even get the knight. The original S1283 is cheaper AND better.

Fitseries3 · Feb 27, 2009

they all need the same bracket.

1283, 1283ee and dk are same. just different color.

n-ster · Feb 27, 2009

soooo s1283v is just a s1283 + lga 1366 bracket?

so why did spearman say the DK< the normal s1283?

hey Fit, the 6gb is down to 90$ again... what are advantages between 6gb and 3gb? like what programs would you see a difference in? is it worth it to buy the 6gb kit to be futureproof?

Fitseries3 · Feb 27, 2009

6gb is only worth it IF you have multiple HUGE video cards OR do TONS of video editing and massive photoshopping. if you dont do/have either than go for 3gb.

the xigy's are all very similar. i speak from experience. just pick the one that looks best to you.

n-ster · Feb 27, 2009

so the s1283v IS a s1283 + bracket? anyways I'm going to suggest s1283v for budget i7 system

as for RAM... will it help be futureproof? because I remember the days when over 1GB was overkill.... now sometimes 2GB is not enough(3 GB usually is much more than enough though)... could it happen later?

Fitseries3 · Feb 27, 2009

there is no such thing as futureproof.

no such thing as a budget i7 build either

n-ster · Feb 27, 2009

well 1200$ budget for EVERYTHING excluding OS for an i7 build... is on a budget for i7 therefore a budgt i7 system xD yea... a BIG budget system...

as for the future part, you think RAM will be needed more in the future?

Fitseries3 · Feb 27, 2009

depends on the video card setup.

Very nice article fit

Thanks for sharing. That gets it for me though. I'm not going to invest in that board. Good report Anandtech.

wtf why

Fitseries3 · Feb 28, 2009

i cant get over 26k in 06 even with $1200 in video cards. its a fuckin shame.

i remember you saying that a while back, weird heh. What cards were you using at the time?

Fitseries3 · Feb 28, 2009

im still using 295's.

my tops score was made with the x2's

think its an nvidia thing, maybe drivers or something?

Binge · Feb 28, 2009

NVs older cards like the 8800 do better than the new cards at 06
