TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Binge · May 7, 2009

Alright... errors will ammount to blue screens if you stress it enough. Anyway! Turbo mode is just x21 multi. Any increase to multi or BCLK may require more voltage.

Seems DFI DKs have a lot of problems... hopefully that won't happen to the people I've built rigs for! Do you know is it's because of OCing or not?

Yes I do think so, I was pushing it quite hard, 20 (21) x 211 Turbo enabled, HT off......first time I selected x6 ram and x12 uncore rather than using "auto"..... obviously it didnt like it! But DFi boards are designed for overclocking so thats no excuse

I agree it's no excuse and although I've had my fair share of problems with the DFI I would interject that since I recieved a good one I have continually renewed faith in the board because of the results. Fit owned a DK and pretty much rocked with it. Sorry you guys got bad boards.

Well I've done quick 3.6ghz OCs for them... can't remember what I put in BIOS but I remember I went through this thread for like 5 hours xD

To be fair, they will run 4gig all day,I was just one of the greedy unlucky ones who just demanded more! There are some of us that dont wanna be in the top 25|%, we need to feel we are ultimatley getting REAL value for money by going thqt bit further, so i suppose a dead board is just a hazard of the job.

so my friends should be fine? (P.S: I just realized I should have charged them xD I did all this just to have fun and help a friend out, but I have no $$ for a rig myself

)

4,2 Ghz @ 1.2875v

Fitseries3 · May 8, 2009

hmmmm..... im missing about 4k pts somewhere...

Fitseries3 · May 8, 2009

a bit better but still not happy...

SystemViper · May 8, 2009

HeyFits, nice score, clad to see you cranking away.

I'm gonna be running a bunch of non physics Vantage runs
to get some points on [H]
that is the only Vantage they ;let you run for scoring.

looks like you still got a lot of life in he 295's :rockout:

I'll befiring up the phase like crazy next week, in preparation for ViperFest.... :toast:

Fitseries3 · May 8, 2009

have you gotten yours to run over 700mhz?

im getting stars

SystemViper · May 8, 2009

here are the settings for 40k for me...

(2) gtx295's @ 697/1503/1282
i7 920 @ 4.410 Ghz

i'll be shooting for that with physx off now....

Fitseries3 · May 8, 2009

no extra voltage on the 295s?

SystemViper · May 8, 2009

i think i lit 3 bulbs in the volt program, but they didn't like full voltage

Fitseries3 · May 8, 2009

mudkip · May 8, 2009

Fitseries , do you have watercooling?

Fitseries3 · May 8, 2009

yes. that last run was on air though.

im using water now and not seeing anything different out of the machine.

im trying to get the 24x multi to work but its stuck at 12x when i disable all but 1 core.

Fitseries3 · May 8, 2009

there it is.... 24x

Cold Storm · May 8, 2009

nice work man!!

Binge · May 8, 2009

Fantastic

That is possibly one of the nicest 940 clocks I've seen. Leave it to Fit

mudkip · May 8, 2009

nice fitseries!

we need a super pi run

Fitseries3 · May 8, 2009

for some reason superPI wont run on this machine. even at stock clocks it errors and closes.

same problem here!!

sometimes it runs and sometimes not!

try to open it a few times. works for me sometimes

mudkip · May 8, 2009

dilemma guys.

You know I got this new CPU and all that. but there's something I started to think about and couldn't get it out of my head.

I want a cPU which does 4,2 ghz under 1.27v . (currently I have 4,2 Ghz with 1.2875 Vcore).

Am i spoiled or do you guys think I just need to shut the fuck up and be happy with it.

I can still send the CPU back to the webshop and order a new one.

I'm still glad I got rid of my R2E . I can't live without OC shut down free and easy BCLK resets.

Mine never does that, because you guessed it, 9 bios updates since you had the board and those problems are gone this board is rock solid and is hands down better than the DFI UT I had.. It's not even close. I haven't had to reset the bios at all even when crazy overclocking setting fail. The UT was nice but failed quickly and did have near the bios tweaks.
