TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

t_ski · Mar 27, 2009

Looks like I finally may have the chance to go i7. Can I get some suggestions on decent OC boards? I was not happy with my last DFI, so let's not go there. I'd like PCI-e spacing that will allow tri-sli on dual-slot cards if at all possible. All other boards are welcome at this time.

Fire away, and thanks in advance. :respect:

If not DFI then Foxconn Blood Rage or maybe the Gigabyte x58 Extreme. Though I gotta say, even though I just sold my DFI in favor of the Blood Rage, it was a solid board.

Binge · Mar 27, 2009

DFI (T3eH8 if you like more options, T3eH6 if you want an easier OC but not max OC), Gigabyte X58-UD4P, EVGA SLI, Biostar(meh), and MSI(any of their boards are good).

Biostar just released a new beta bios that improve the memory compatibility.
It allow the use of xmp profiles. This should resolve the problems some people had with getting 1600+ mhz on certain sticks. http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=49;t=000075

i asked him to post it here for a comparison for i7 and 775 in pcmark05 since no one else is going to run pcmark

I was just doing what a fellow Member (& friend) asked me to do...

mudkip · Mar 27, 2009

Their Both Vanilla version cards. Highest on one card is 756/1502/1377

Chicken Patty · Mar 27, 2009

thanks for the comparisons guys. big difference. FIT was that with the SSD's? Howeve as far as boards, the results that people have gotten with the DFI's have been amazing. They are the way to go with X58. Other than that I think most boards release for X58 have been rather good.

Wow that's f'ing insane!
How much did you pay for them?

I have he XFX standard version overclocked to 713/1534/1200 stable , stock : 602/1105. with v.core mod I can get higher till 734/1200... I paid about 240 euro's for it ( 320 USD , 224GBP). But seeing your cards makes me jealous...

Fitseries3 · Mar 27, 2009

huh? my gtx260s have done 790mhz core.

i guess im extreme?

I have probably a bad batch.. but I think that GTX260 can overclock higher.. btw are you talking about 55nm version or 65nm?

Fitseries3 · Mar 27, 2009

65nm 192sp is the best OCer from my experience. i've had all 3 versions and i like it the best.

have you added more voltage?

I tried till 1.8v and could reach 734 GPU clock... didn't try higher because my temp was getting above 100 degrees. That's why i bought this baby http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_&mID=237

Fitseries3 · Mar 27, 2009

1.8

you mean 1.18?

mudkip · Mar 27, 2009

No 1.8v

Stock voltage is about 1.2v I guess.. or 1.18v

Fitseries3 · Mar 27, 2009

stock is 1.02

max is 1.18

The first one was free because of step-up with Evga. I paid 650 for a Gx2.. Really only 350 because of the 300 I got from killing my 8800gt 1gb... :cry:

I miss that card! And the other came from Trt. Forget the price, but wasn't bad.. God I love these cards! Both can hit that, and 600 units apart!

Fits: I'm with ya. The 260's can do some amazing things! Clock way higher then the 280's without even going water!

Ah wel you're right!

Do you think 1.18v is safe? Because i'll try it when I have my new cooler.
