TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

I'll be at the peach farm in Wilcox this weekend. I would surely let you in my house to OC my rig haha. I may if we get back early. :rockout:
What are you in Tucson for fits?

im in phx right now. gf's mom lives in tucson.
 
For setFSB what clock generator do I pick?
 
Mudkip... what clock generator for UD5 then... I can't see ours listed on their site (unless I'm getting more blind!)

ICS9LPRS919BKL ;)

and for range select: ultra fsb

This is for UD4P / UD5 / Extreme

since they're all hardware identical
 
Ta... at least It's not my eyes!! lol
 
Good luck with overclocking and I want to see some results guys ;)
 
I will post some up
maybe I will be able to hit 4.6 and run super pi 1m I doubt 4.6 will hold on a wPrime run. I have a hard time getting 4.4 running wPrime 1024m.
 
Newest benchmark score. Almost at 20k that is my goal, but it is wearing thin. My i7 is running at max temp of 90 with those clocks when benching. And my 4870x2 VRM temps are at 100 degrees with a bump in voltage from 1.26 to 1.30V. I dont know where I can pull the 500 points out of maybe my crapper? I might be able to get some fans directed at the gpu's vrm heatrsink to cool the vrm's to push it the clocks a little higher.

so far my 4.5 sitting there with a 9.2s superpi 1m run

Mudkip I have had no luck with setFSB, it keeps BSODing on me when I apply any settings, even if I set the same settings I have in BIOS, say I have 200 BCLK i choose that on setfsb and it bsod's on me.

Also how does the gtx 295 work with the i7? I see some great benchmark results, but I dont know if it would be worth getting rid of my 4870x2 and getting a gtx 295, I mean for gaming and other apps other than benching.

Hmm, very weird? I never had any BSOD's ,my systeem just freezes.

You have to increase the blck and pci-freq with little steps. You can get till 220 blck, after that you'll have to increase your pci-e freq.

What i do is getting my max blck, then add 0.1mhz or 0.2mhz to the pci-e freq and then increase the blck with 1

Also disable HT when running super pi. You'll get lower scores
 
You sure you got these ''settings'' in setfsb?

I know nothing about 3dmark vantage, but shouldn't your cpu score be well over 40k? Maybe that's keeping you from your goal. Here is mine at 4.2.

guys, should I change anything on Linx to stability test? I just do 25 passes, but is this enough. my PC restarted sometime today and it passed 25 runs of linx last night. ANy suggestions.

Im working on my overclock so I just wanna find a stable one quick so I can go back to crunching.
 
Make sure you're running linx only so it can use most of your memory. Also c65 mode stress the CPU/mem more.

You could also try OCCT.

FOR LINX, HOW DO YOU SET C65 MODE?

x64 sorry :laugh::roll:

I was like oookk, WTF :laugh:

Yeah x64 is selected. Also I know you can select memory to be used. Should I use half of my memory, less, more?
 
if you want to stress your cpu to the max let linx use all your mem and set problem size to 25000 (or the highest number, can't remember off the top of my head lol)

Everything, so it's better if you close your anti virus etc
 
I run Linx when the system is running 'bare" I go into Msconfig and unselect all my services and my startup programs, so I boot up using less than a gig of RAM.
 
Today, i'm going to try to reach 4,8Ghz

let's hope it will succeed:rockout:

Well, first you turn off your Caps Lock. The key is located on the left of your keyboard, between Shift and Tab.... ;)
