Whats wrong with that qpi link?

Fitseries3 · Apr 4, 2009

i set it low.

thats on AIR BTW

The Haunted · Apr 4, 2009

I thought only the 965 had access to qpi multi.
Is that the slow mode? (as called on my board)

Fitseries3 · Apr 4, 2009

higher QPI yes.

you can set lower qpi on special boards like the DFI.

you can actually set higher QPI at low bclk on 920 and 940

But you are confusing people saying that TURBO IS BAD. The way that article is worded and the way you word it makes me think that turbo ON = x21 sometimes but mostly x20. That is not the case. If you turn turbo on with most boards it will stay x21 especially if you know how to set it correctly. For x21 ALL THE TIME with DFI

Set VR Current Limit Max: Enabled
Thermal Management Control: Disabled
EIST Function: Enabled
PPM Function: Enabled
Turbo Mode Function: Enabled

Lastly make sure you turn off all energy saving settings like C-states.

::EDIT:: This is the quote I have problems with...

If this was indeed the case then my dual threaded apps would not get x21. They found that in retail i7920 and 940 that the TURBO mode is handled on the motherboard end. Most motherboards have a way around turbo throttling. With the DFI this is controlled with the Set VR Current Limit Max: Enabled option with the rest of the turbo functions on as well. If you turn that off then your multiplier will throttle under load from a multi-threaded app. Why is this? Because it limits the multiplier when all threads are being used based on the TDP of the cpu. If it's cold enough and Set VR Current Limit Max: is Disabled then you will keep your x21, but since most of us can't get that cold we just Enable the option and rock out with full x21.

I didn't change the wording I just posted what it said. I was as shocked as you are to read it. I also never said turbo was bad where did that come from? :eek:

I think 20x200 or 19x210 would be better but there is nothing wrong with turbo. I use it. On a side note, I just burned a dvd at 4.0ghz and it's unreal how fast these chips are.

Hey guys I have been working with this MO-RA 2 to cool my i7 cpu, and it's coming along really well. Today I'm going up to Lowes to see if I can't get some 32-6 1 3/8" flats. I'm only going to mount 6 fans on this, but I'll leave room for 9. I've been reading that the round tubing inside it is "no good" for active cooling but I really don't agree... The heat will be spread out into the fins anyway and the fins will have active cooling!

Here are some pics.

Plexi marked for cutting.

Using a fly cutter is dangerous but it sure beats buying a 4 1/2" hole cutter I won't use again for a few years.

Almost the final product

See I screwed up once and followed a line that was NOT meant to be followed... le sigh
