TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

CPU clock doesn't matter much in Vantage, 'cause upgrading from a Phenom (2.7GHz) to Core i7 (4.2GHz) got me another 50 points in GPU score. His CPU score will be alot higher with HT on and that will give him higher overall score.

mudkip · Jun 5, 2009

OC'ing my i7 helped gave me much better results in vantage

kid41212003 · Jun 5, 2009

GPU scores? I disregard the CPU score. Because it's an Graphic tests.

I'm going to show you something which i find quite amazing..jsut wait a few minutes

mudkip · Jun 5, 2009

okay 3,2 Ghz @ 0,99375v in BIOS

rock solid baby!

idle temps are about 37-39 degrees. Load temps 50-53 degrees.

yeah but if it doesnt have a little thing that flashes and says "stable" its not stable :laugh:

Oh damn you!

I should make a little prog in VB6 which shows ''Stable'' on command, while flashing with 1000Hz :laugh:

what are you running linx?

how long does it take to complete?

Did some improvement

3,2 Ghz @ 0,98750v

as you can see about half hour full stress

Looking good mudkip. I'm running 20 passes at 3.8, 1.152v in cpu-z (1.8135 in bios) right now. I have 6gb ram, so it takes a lot longer. Just under 5 min per pass, so about 1 1/2 hours for 20.

EDIT: Here you go. 1.152 at load and 1.168 at idle.

managed to hit 4.0Ghz on my C0 :nutkick:

although its at 1.38vcore, am going to slowly lower the vcore and see how much i can take it down, i read about "turbo mode" conflicting with overclock so i have disabled turbo. are there any tips you guys can give me to keep this sucker at 4.0Ghz with as little voltage as poss ?

My current settings:

Bclk: 200
multi: 20
mem: 1200 8.8.8.20 (loose timings and low speed to acheive max oc first, then timings and speed tweakings later)
Vcore: 1.38
mem: 1.6v

everything else is at stock. but theres a lot of options, is there anything i can do to lower my vcore and stay at 4Ghz?

Not really. you could try to go a little step lower eg 1.37v and then stress test it , if it's stable you can go further with lowering Vcore. But I'm afraid this is the best you can get currently. You could also try overclocking with the 21x multiplier. Helped me alot when i was trying to reach 4Ghz with my C0

i will warn you....

if you dont know x58/i7 OCing... you may be better off with a GB ud3

the ecs rocks and is really easy to OC but you should know at least some info on OCing i7/x58... at least to make it easier.

i honestly miss the ecs and i would have kept it if i had the money but these days i been strapped for cash.

ok .. will do some more research .. what do u think about the assus p6t se

Not good in my opinion. All gigabyte X58 overclock and perform better.

you might want to look for some reviews.

from the looks of it, and I have said this before. Gigabytes are the board to have lately. They are just good performers.

That was my guess from the beginning, personally.

I always knew they were good, but I underestimated their performance. I didn't think they were this good.

feel i might tell my cous to wait til p55 .. as the diserable boards are WAY to expensive

check the for sell section, you find good deals.

I Thought I'd see what my DO would do with some low voltage too....here's my first attempt.

Chicken Patty · Jun 6, 2009

good job for your first attempt paulie.

THis thread reminds me of that thread Kei made. the 9850 low voltage overclocking thread. I had mine running on one core 1.8 ghz at one point :laugh:

Jakethesnake011 · Jun 6, 2009

I was wondering what the max Vcore is for the I7 C0. I read on Intels' White paper that the max(VTT) is 1.55V? Correct? This is respect to the Vss (i don't know what that is, anyone?) Now I am running 1.448V with Turbo kicking in that extra voltage, without turbo on, or under load I get a 1.396V. So Turbo kicks in over .50V, does it seem safe. I am able to keep the temps under 80 degrees and it is stable on LinX for 30 minutes, and I can run Vantage all day, did 8 tests back to back and had no problem with CPU.

4.0 on 1.38 is about average for a CO. What's your QPI voltage?
