TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Chicken Patty · Oct 4, 2009

dark,

why did you post that in the i7 overclocking and feedback thread. I don't see anything that has to do with i7 in that screenshot

Thanks Dark - that made my morning. :pimp:

Okay, I finally received the rest of my wc parts for my i7 rig and replaced the V8 last night. Ran into leaking problems from the Apogee GTZ SE where the nozzels screw into the block. I didn't use the ones included with the GTZ and instead used Enzotech High Flow fittings (1/2"). As iwas too drunk and it was real late, I waited until today to redo the fittings. So I replaced the Enzotechs with the ones that came with the GTZ and used some teflon tape and all is working good with no leaks. So I have my i7 at normal clocks and here are the current temps running WCG at 100%:

Now here where the temps when I had the Cooler Master V8 running at the same clocks (no oc):

Current wc setup is a Swiftech mcp355 with a XSPC res top. A Swiftech MCR320-QP with Scythe fans (3 x 120's), 1/2 " Tygon tubbing and of course the Apogee GTZ Special Edition (yeah I know Heatkiller is better). So I am hoping that temps will drop after the TIM burns-in.
Should I wait to try overclocking?

Here's to hoping the TIM burns in and makes a difference. You should try overclocking.

OC to 4.0 Ghz w/ wc setup:

With V8 at same clocks:

For water cooling that sure is terrible... What kind of TIM are you using???

HammerON · Oct 5, 2009

Arctic Silver 5

Chicken Patty · Oct 5, 2009

yeah, that ain't good. What components did you use again?

2 of my i7's were like this on water. Once the vcore went over 1.3v the temps just went through the roof, even on a good water cooling loop. They were about the same as these temps. However, it was in non-air conditioned environment during the middle of the summer, and I'm not in Alaska. :laugh:

Guys, got a question. If i'm using three sticks, why is it in dual channel and not in tri? :confused:

Fitseries3 · Oct 5, 2009

Chicken Patty · Oct 5, 2009

what CPU is that?

Fitseries3 · Oct 5, 2009

i9.

you miss the 6 core 12 thread?

What is Windows say is your memory size? May not have enough volts. Possible too that you may need to reseat cpu or ram, or both.

So your air temps were better than your water temps? I highly doubt 2 of your i7s were better with air cooling than water cooling. :rolleyes:

this is weird, says 6gigs, but only 4 usable :confused:

Asylum · Oct 5, 2009

You may have a bad stick .
Run memtest86.

Fitseries3 · Oct 5, 2009

bad stick 4 sure.

this happened to my 1st kit of JNLs.

which are these? my old gskill?

naw, I don't have those anymore.

These are some Nanya sticks I got from CDAwall.

however, CPUz reads all 6gigs?

Fitseries3 · Oct 5, 2009

might be some odd update in windows.

try resetting the bios

I'll try that and post back. windows needed to do some updates, so I'll let it do that and reset the bios afterwards. See If that fixes the issue.

only think I can think of is either the rad is just crappy, but if I'm not mistaken some here have used it with pretty good results, or the block is mounted wrong or something. You sure the inlet and outlet are not reversed, happened to me twice, FIT used to kick my ass until I fixed it. Temps never were affected for me, but hey that was just me.
