TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

After a quick play in the bios.. go easy on me guys I am new to i7 and have to learn this bios :laugh:

compare Uncore 3200MHzvs4000MHz:

Little bit more RAM speed. But not 100% system stable...

4.2 @ 1.44 on a D0 ?

JJ-Sheridan · Aug 1, 2009

Look at this:
Uncore 3200MHz, Vantage CPU speed ~25500

Uncore 4000MHz, Vantage CPU speed ~26000

Yes it is. Vcore 1.4625V in BIOS, LLC on. If less - LinX goes my PC in to BSOD and auto reboot

Congratulations! It's an excellent choise on today... good luck! :toast:

thanks I have to learn how to overclock all over again

CPU 4.2GHz (200*21) Air cooling
Vcore 1.4625
LLC on
QPI/Vtt 3.2GHz 1.41V
100% stable in everything. Not bad anyway... and 50% boost

What are your load temps like?

~85-90C by super burn test. In the room 29C now.

You don't run your uncore as high as he does. Feel sorry for someone else.

grunt_408 · Aug 1, 2009

by crickey mate those temps are high :laugh:

It will be interesting to see how long your chip lasts.

Binge · Aug 1, 2009

It won't get that hot in real world situations.

grunt_408 · Aug 1, 2009

Oh i guess not but i would kill a thread over temps like that. I would not let them get that high ever

Besides, usually, it is about 55-70C in games, folding@home.

grunt_408 · Aug 1, 2009

I have to get used to the fact these chips run hotter than the c2d's n q's.

This is CPU temps under loading by the game Empire: Total War. Not very hot isn't it?

no, that is not hot at all for an i7

Thanks mon no very different to stress temps indeed.

Don't flame/make useless post here please. This isn't a dump to increase your post count. It's to discuss i7 overclocking/ownership. Telling people they have some sort of inferior product when you have never worked with their machine is counterproductive. I don't even think you grasped the importance of his posts/findings. He basically gave you a means to increase 3D mark scores without changing your OC much.

I also hate pity. :toast:

imo, 4GHz Uncore Frequency needs QPI/Vtt ~1.5-1.57volts

I've noticed that from evga's research over on the i4 board. Anything over ~3600 uncore drives the vvt through the roof quickly. I try to keep it under 3000 for 24/7 use. It makes it easier to run a lower vvt (qpi/uncore on Asus boards). Also, loosening the RTL can not only help slightly with voltages, but also performance. Not sure if the Gigabyte boards have it. On my P6T6 its listed as Round Trip Latency. Usually it defaults to the 60s for all 3 settings at ~3200.

Also, how are you seeing improvements in Vantage from upping uncore? I've noticed that on my board that it seems to go with qpi speed. Almost directly too. I can change uncore up and down and it makes about a 100 point change in the cpu at most. Change qpi and both the cpu tests follow right along. The first test follows the actual speed of qpi it will almost tell you the mhz speed of it. This has been only on the P test, don't know if it changes at any other presets.

It has been a while since I have posted on this thread, but I have thought of something else I might try to get my i7 920 stable @ 4 GHz. My stock memory speed is 1.6 GHz, what if I tried to lower it so that at 4.0 GHz, my memory would run @ 1.2 GHz? Normally, memory clocks increase when overclocking, but what if I lowered them drastically to try to get a stable clock? Also, if it does become stable @ 4 GHz, how much performance loss would I be getting for having my memory so low?
