Nice size difference!!! lol.. I hope it's a sweet set up!!

Binge · Mar 19, 2009

That's because the extra $40 buys you that box :laugh:

How do you like it so far fit??? In the bios I noticed that D9JNLs do better with -15% DRAM pwm frequency. It may just be my board though. I've had rotten luck getting ones that do well @ nominal.

Fitseries3 · Mar 19, 2009

swapped boards out from undernieth a 3 drive raid and current vista64 install and it boot into vista in a matter of 5-6 seconds on 1st boot no probs.

no OC yet. i was playing with crysis warhead and COD5 to see how well this performs.

i have everything on enthusiast at 1680 x 1050 and its smooth with no tearing at all. i do believe its still on 4x AA as well.

Cold Storm · Mar 19, 2009

Glad to hear it man! You need something sweet after your harsh run with toys

Chicken Patty · Mar 20, 2009

dang fit, that box is big.

i7 needs more rad.

hell no, it better be happy with what it has. its ridiculous that we have to go and build a custom rad box with ten radiators just to cool a damn CPU. I aint wasting more money on it, a CPU that needs more than a GTX480, hell no. It better be happy :laugh:

not you.... other ppl.

there are guys with mcr220's here thinking that they are fine. NO WAY. you need a bigger rad ppl.

I had a koolance 120.1 before lol. Temps as high as the factory cooler. :roll:

I had nothing else at the moment, what was I supposed to do. Man and what pisses me off is that my coolest core is 65ºc, BInge dropped a shit load of temps with the HK block. I might need to jump on one of those. Use this for my AMD rig then

Fitseries3 · Mar 20, 2009

yup.

like it or not... someone will always have something better than everyone else.

i still have yet to dive into the HK block yet.

although..

im thinking of making a acrylic top for them.

I installed one on my buddies computer this week, we are finishing the water build onthe weekend. Here are his specs.

Gigabyte x58-UD5 F5g
I7 920@21x200 1.39v 3841A554
TRUE 120
CORSAIR DOMINATORS PC1600@ 8-8-8-24 1T
PCP&C SILENCER® 750 QUAD
EVGA GTX 295
X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series
1 x WD VELOCIRAPTOR 300
Seagate 1TB
Antec 900
Vista Ultimate 64bit

he bought a new case, cooler master HAF 932 and water cooled now.

this is about it on air on this board, hot but stable

http://img.techpowerup.org/090319/testing574.jpg

great job! :toast:

believe it or not thats like running 50-55ºc on your Phenom. Those temps are hot but ok on this CPU. I would stay there until you get the bracket for your cooler or find a better cooling solution.

Hmm, my Black Ice Xtreme II 240 has done the job quite well, though I am looking at a better rad, since I want to see how cool I can get this thing.

wasnt talking about you man. the xtreme rads a a bit different. you should be good with that rad as long as your happy with your temps. didnt we recommend that rad for you?

trt740 said:
thats with the noctua.

dont start again. i have nothing against the noctua.

now stop priming and get to playing with some benchies and games.

here is a good overclocking guide, curiously enough using my cooler

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i7-920-overclocking.html

every time you mention your cooler you have to do 10 push ups.

:laugh:

PaulieG · Mar 20, 2009

OK guys, let's play nice!

Fitseries3 · Mar 20, 2009

trt740 said:
No Chicken Patty thought those temps were with the stock cooler and recommended I wait for a bracket for my Noctua that's why I mentioned it again.

ah.... k.

the BS ends here.

lets get along at least.

you dont have to like me though.

EDIT: whats with the bold? you trying to be bold here?

PaulieG · Mar 20, 2009

I'm going to give both of you infractions if this continues. Last warning.

Wile E · Mar 20, 2009

Fitseries3 said:
for the record....

PULL is the best way to cool a rad second to push+pull.

Not for me. Push shames pull by a few degrees with my rads.

Are your rads shrouded?

n-ster · Mar 20, 2009

Hey guys, how hot (very aproximitely) will an i7 run on a xig s-1283v at 3.6? 3.8? 4? Don't kill me if this was already said! :ohwell:

Why did you ask then? This has already been addressed, but I guess I don't mind saying it again. @ 3.6-3.8 your idle temps should be in the 40-50C and load should be in the 80C range.

I guess I won't need WC then

hopefully I wont need crazy vcore to make it run at 3.6 to 4 range :ohwell:

And thxs for the link!!!

Binge · Mar 20, 2009

WC is about 25+C cooler under load and gaming. It's said that for every 10C you shave off of your temps your processor will last double it's projected lifetime at the higher temperature.

n-ster · Mar 20, 2009

Actually, my plan was buying s1283v for now and upgrading to WC later on... because a WC setup is 300$+ right? (a good one of course)

maybe I'll do only a 3.3 OC... I don't think I'll see a difference in gaming anyhow

I got 3 months infront of me to think about it anyways :laugh:

Oh and I won't need to spend so much... I guess I'm not hardcore compared to you guys xD

Binge · Mar 20, 2009

You can run at stock and you will hardly notice a difference between the OC and stock speeds if you are running your memory @ 1600MHz+ unless you are encoding video/crunching numbers. Your scores will increase and you'll do large things faster, but in games and day to day tasks the i7 @ stock is still blazing fast. Give it a shot.

You are pretty much right about the water cooling though, but there are a lot of things you can do to reduce the costs. You can do one of these loops.

Koolance 400 & XSPC top: $95
Swiftech Micro Res: $22
PA 120.3(or 120.2) directly from Thermochill: $95
3xYate Loon High Speed (88cfm): $9.90 @ jab-tech.com
Heatkiller 3.0: $70
8x BitsPower Shining Silver 1/2" ID fittings (same as DD fatboys): $16
7/16" cleaflex: $.35/foot
Taxes/Shipping then added on to that cost. That's a quality loop. Much like the one I use.
