Nicely, the only thing I dont like about the board is the NB cooler.

same here, it looks good, but the NB still runs hot as hell

So, what are you guys getting for 24/7 clocks? I'm running wcg at 3.9, 1.3v. with a co stepping. I can get 4.2 at just under 1.4v, but then my temps shoot up into the 80's.

4GHz 1.32v idle 1.36v load.

4.2ghz on 1.26v 24/7on my DO. Temps hang around the high 60's on water w/WCG at 70%.

That's nice !!! with air cooling and 9gb of ram I'm running mine at 19x200 3.8ghz at 1.2v, ram at DDR3 1600 88821 t1 1.65v. It seems to me that more than 3 sticks of ram really stresses the northbridge and makes more voltage and heat necessary. I can run it at 4.0ghz but it needs 1.25v and a bunch more QPI voltage, so this is fine for everyday use. On water I'm sure it would go a lot higher or with less ram as it did before.

PaulieG · May 24, 2009

Actually, I just moved my rad around to allow better airflow. I dropped my max temps by 5-6c. Now at 4.2, my load temps are high 50-low 60c!! Damn, I'm loving this chip.

freaksavior · May 24, 2009

Well im going to be picking me up a D0,

i really want a 975, but i have a hard time convincing myself to get a extreme chip

Good... I heate the 940/950 and 965/975

expensive pieces of shit... i7 920 FTW :rockout:

freaksavior · May 24, 2009

well i've never had a extreme and the 975 has 6.4 vs 4.8 but again, i upgrade to much.

i'll just get a 17 920 d0

what do you mean by moving the rad around. Anything you might wanna share with us?

what have been your best clocks?

Only 4.2gig at 1.325v with HT on but that was on the DFI which was fuc*ed all along according to the RMA company who checked it which isnt bad considering they said there was also a hairline crack in the PCB area near the CPU socket, hopefull with a fully functional board I should get more but TBH, on air if it only boots to windows and runs SuperPI then it isnt an overclock

With my C0, 4gig @ 1.29v with HT on.

I just got a 920 and I was looking at a p6t from asus

Does anyone have that board and is it good?

This is my first intel rig so I need to learn it will probably run circles around my 955 for sure

I have not personally owned one but I hear very mixed experiences on it, one or two have had decent results but many have had problems..... I dont think it's in the highest league overclocking wise but not sure. There are some budget x58 boards out there (lol as far as budget really is budget with x58) that perform better I think, Fits has had some nice results from ECS and my board which I have only just received generally gets good reviews and overclocks well.

I just moved it higher off of my desk, from a 1/2" to about an inch. Airflow was pretty restricted apparently.

thats pretty good for C0. But maybe that board was handicapping you. If you can get more out of it stable, thats great.

good clock for voltage

Thanks for sharing. Thats interesting.

damn, your rocking and rolling, hmmmm wonder how your got that high,
ohhhh could be a gig board, imagine how they are now the hot one for the
mid level guys.... loving the gigs..

trt740 · May 24, 2009

this seems promising had to loosen ram but hey

these new chips are hot but still this is okay. Prime heats my chip up a bunch more than crunching even at 100 percent. Pardon my ten year olds art work. On a side note adding more ram seems to have heated up my entire system a bunch. Added a spot cooler that should help a bit.

nice art, so you adeed more ram and all the temps went up, hmmm, could be that the mem controller on cpu is used more and also the pwm for the ram too. Man any little changes to these and they just dump out more heat... :cry:

4.2 Ghz @ 1.285v

seems the best setting for me. I tried 4,4Ghz but that was pure overkill

Can you post another screenie while your system is under load with OCCT? I'd like to see your load temps and vdroop. Thanks! Here's mine:

temps and vdroop can both be seen on the OCCT screens I just posted?

Well , then I'll read it for you:

max temp : 81 degrees

I think I need to take 3 sticks out. I've been running 6 x 2GB, but it keeps getting too hot and OCCT shuts down (@ 4.01GHz). I definitely can't pussh the voltage any higher until I get it one water.
