TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Tatty_Two · Apr 11, 2009

Update.......

Just playing with voltages and clock speeds ATM before trying for my max stable overclock, I can get 3.8gig on a bit less than 1.25V with hyperthredding on and after 30 minutes of OCCT temps dont go out of the 50's, I know she can do 4gig on about 1.325V now but not tested stability yet....... still dont have a clue what I am doing! :eek:

Just setting up my Asus GENE, with my i7 DO and a 4870X2 to run some Vcore tests and see how nice the DO really is, All i am hearing and reading is the DO is the shitz...\

Plus it all going in the IGLOO, it's gonna go under freexing tonight and down to -7c tomorrow night... One last winter blast, crazy but i am excited...

I can't wait to see how the DO does with the GENE. I love my GENE.

Here she is. A beast, despite the current chaos. Oh, and take a look at Cyber Druid's handy work!

Yea, it looks like a great board, I love the feel so far and the next 2 days i will be able to put it thru the paces....

Come on SV, let's get her together and run some benchies...

Come on SV, let's get her together and run some benchies...

I Just got Vista 64 loaded and am running the asus driver disc.

now i will do the OS internet update.

But yea it will be interesting to see some comparisons, what video card r u running;/.

Later tonight and tomorrow night when i get home from my moms i will be rocking it with the IGLOO at full Power, lol

but yea, what u want to do, i'm game for anything... I love the size of hte board, it gives any case you put it in lots of extra room for the watercooling, and if your palnning on using only 1 video card, then this is the board for you so far...

PaulieG · Apr 11, 2009

I'm running a gtx260. I won't be able to do any comparison runs until tomorrow night. Going to the inlaws for the night. I'd like to see your initial benchmarks though. One of the little things I like with this board is the battery placement. Very easy access and removal for those failed OC's.

mlee49 · Apr 11, 2009

Hey Gene Guys, What NB temps are you seeing? When you throw up some SS can one include those temps?

SystemViper · Apr 11, 2009

I think i am getting about 22c right now, i placed 4 temp sensors in the igloo, on the southie, northie, mosfet and cpu, it helps me to adjust airflow and fan placement...

I will later. You have to put a fan over the chipset HS or a WB, or it climbs into the high 70's and low 80's when OC is >4.0ghz. That I know for sure.

SystemViper · Apr 11, 2009

yea, i was thinking of putting an enzo w/fan on the southie,

figuring out something for the northie

and using a standard Asus fan on the mosfits...

EDIT: yea i just tested t he standard ASUS fan and it fits perfect on the mosfits... nice!

Tomorrow night it is then, It';s gonna prob be the coldest night left in the season, so it's gonna be fun, I'll be shooting for 4.7 on the 920....

That resi from cyber Druid looks wicked, I always love his macanations.,..

I haven't tried the Asus fan on the mosfets, good idea!!

Still aint got a clue what I am doing, this is the lowest stable voltage I can get for 4gig I think, now how do i get x21 multi with this turbo thingy? Do the settings in CPU-Z look OK?

Well my motherboards going bad my qpi need atleast 1.35v to run my ram at 1600 mghz (it never did this before at default setting it would run it at 1.21v) and Ive changed my CPU 3 times and tested my ram so this boards going back :mad:

Has to be the board.

+21 = Speed Stepping Enabled + EHIST(sp?) Enabled + Turbo Enabled

It came with a ram clip cracked anyways so time for a rma.

That vcore is really nice for 4ghz!!

Chicken Patty · Apr 12, 2009

before heading to bed, snapshot of my temps, check out the max!

rig has been crunching since it has been back up about 4 hours ago.

Sorry to hear that, I have not even touched any QPI stuff, just left it on auto, in fact havent really touched anything lol, these chips do get warm though once you hit 4gig and anything over 1.3v :eek:

Thanks but still a bit toasty though!

hey I just noticed on my screenie at post 3364, how come when I have Hyperthredding enabled it only shows 4 threads in CPU-Z??? WTF. Also now all of a sudden only 2 cores are showing up in OCCT, what have I done!

One last noob question, how do you update a DFi BIOS I am still on the release version? I have downloaded a .exe BIOS, surely I dont just run this from my desktop?

I went through a bunch of steps to figure out why my overclocking was so limited and after ruling out everything else it's the board. I'm gonna try another. This quality issue with DFI reminds me of the time I saw a guy push starting a Ferrari.

When they work they are great but their failure rate is high thats why Newegg won't take a return just a true exchange for 30 days. The ram clip didn't bother me but changing my cpu 3 times sorta pissed me off. I just didn't realize it was my chipset degrading . My board works but need 1.37v QPI to boot to windows and anything above 3.8ghz fails on all three chips. The basic MSI board I had beat that.

through your desktop or with a floppy. Winflash worked fine for me.
