If it's not a driver or software conflict or dying hardware, then your OC wasn't stable to begin with. Vista x64 just needs a 100% stable OC. 99.9% doesn't cut it.

You are incorrect my old overclock was 12 hours prime blend stable under Windows xp, check with Dalmut , it is common and a known problem with cpus that get near the 4.0ghz clock speed with x64 operating systems not being as stable. Also check with Fits and see whats his definition of stable?

Here's my new DO after just 30 minutes of tweaking. So far, it's stable after 35 minutes of WCG. It's running on my new Giga UD5. So far, I'm very impressed with the chip and the board.

very nice

OK. This is just craziness. Just look at the vcore at this speed....

hey Paul I know the goal is folding but try prime it still stresses the chip more as does occt. Still very nice. I just tried your settings on my do and they work as well with bonic but not with occt or prime 95.

Actually, with each of the 3 i7 chips I've owned, WCG averages 3-4c hotter than OCCT. Man, I was due a good chip!

yes it does but try it and see temps is not the only factor here. Who knows your chips may be better than mine.

I also see BOINC being a bigger punisher than anything. Remember you have to turn it to 100%/

lets see some serious OCs then man :toast:

You are correct there. I'm planning to do some OCCT runs tomorrow, but first I wanted to get some of my WCG numbers up.

hey whats stable right? if it works it works.

Very nice results and you inspired me to up my chip a bit and it's stable for crunching at these speeds as well so thx.

Fitseries3 · May 20, 2009

i have a whole new rig on the way if anyone is interested.

Nah, I want "old school" stability. The fact that I'm running 15 minutes on WCG right now, shows that it is reasonably stable for now. I will thoroughly test it over the next few days. I do have a feeling that I have one hell of a chip here. I'm liking the Gigabyte bios too. They've really cleaned it up for i7 offerings. I'll certainly appreciate the dual bios feature when I really start to push things.

DaMulta · May 20, 2009

I think it's because with 32 bit your not using the total chip/ only half of it.

So when you oc under a 32bit os it's like benching on a quad with two cores turned off, and entering 64 os you have all 4 running. So of course your not gong to get as high because you have more shit going on.

My C0 is getting 3.8GHz at that exact same voltage. Good job with your D0!

except with intel chips and ht on they still show all cores maxed with heat out the ass it maybe more instructions being calculated that causes less stability with vista 64

So would you say Windows 7 32bit is the best preformance per core?

PaulieG · May 20, 2009

Quick question guys. I haven't tried Win 7 yet. Where can I get ahold of the RC?

Fitseries3 · May 20, 2009

nice.

anyone looking for a D0 920.....

microcenter has them on sale for $199 in store only.

Microcenter have D0's now??? :eek:

Are they all D0s? so does newegg have only D0s now or is it mixed or just c0?

Windows 7

Fitseries3 · May 20, 2009

most MC's have 90% D0s. egg is still mixed although i'd say theres a better chance of c0/c1 than d0

did i mention i got a whole new machine?

They are all still a mix. However, at MC you can gp through them and find the DO. Careful what you wish for though. Not all DO's are created equal. My first one was a dog.

By the way Paul, how fast did Vista install? Was it like 5 minutes? I was blown away on how freakin fast it installed.
