TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[Binge]

That's not strange at all with the classifieds. You have to look at the difference between your voltage reads and that is how much your classified will increase the voltage beyond what you set in Tuner/Bios.

I also ordered a new set of the Kingston Hyper X 2000 Mhz RAM the cas 9 timing one,not the real expensive kit, any news on how these clock and how tight you can get the timings on them?

It depends on luck. With the cheap HyperX sticks you can't be sure if they're Hypers or not, and if they aren't Hypers they could do better with lower speed/tight timings, or they could do worse at tighter timings and you have to keep the high speed and loose settings.

I dont think they are E hyper chips I have read they are BBSE's? They allow somewhat for tight timings also the trcd has to stay somewhat loose compared to other timings so i could do 7-8-7-18, or 8-9-8-21. I did look over at XS.org and someone had them running at a cool 2ghz with 7-9-7-19, and up to 2188 at cas 9, with volts under 1.68. So they look promising, I am hoping I get the same chips he has on those.

You don't need water to keep and i7 cold......just 20C ambients.

Its at stock clocks. I don't think it's ever been that cold in it's life. Maybe I need to pull some blankets out to keep her warm.

Very nice

Just huddle up to your CPU exhaust after you OC.

 

[mastrdrver]

I gave it more volts. Doesn't seem to help.

edit: Maybe I'll go drag my system outside some night this winter so I can say I had sub 20C core temps on air at 4ghz.

Got my new ram in today and man is this set fast.

Even has great timings at 1600Mhz.

grats bro! You and I have the same kit Could you post your subtimings?

There all on auto except the ones you see there.

 

[Binge]

Yeah but you can tell what the subtimings are right? Those sticks tend to keep a couple settings loose even though you could tighten them and get much better performance at lower frequencies.

 

[mastrdrver]

Very nice Asylum.

What kind of vvt did you have to use to get the 920 to run that uncore speed?

 

[Fitseries3]

anyone seen any OCs on air or water from a i7 950?

Most people use LN2 or dice on those.
The only way you can get them to clock better than a 920.

 

[Chicken Patty]

3x 5870's and a gulftown @ 6324 Mhz (LN2) yielded 43983 3dmarks in 3dMark 06.

you are mistaking the 950 for the 940.

950 clocks high as fuck on air and water with no problem. i just havent seen many ppl with them.

Seen anything other than that short 950 thread over in XS?

Do they use less volts speed for speed than the 920s? I've been thinking about getting a 950 as I'm getting tired of 4ghz on my 920.

Nothing like playing hours of COD WaW mp 20v20 with only 15% cpu usage. I think that was about the time that I gave a thought or two as to why I would spend the money on a 950 to try for 4.6ghz. But, that thought soon left.

4.6ghz i7 common sense

Just received my Giga UD4P and i7 860. Just waiting for my Megahalems 1156 mounting bracket. I did manage to run BOINC for a few minutes at 3.9ghz 1.21v for a few minutes on the stock cooler, before heat became an issue.

Yea you are right i was thinking of the 940.

Dang, you converted too!

 

[Fitseries3]

dear cpu cooler manufacturers....


i need a fucking cooler for my 1156 setup NOW.

speed this shit up

 

[Chicken Patty]

Great letter FIT, I'm sure they'll move their ass right now!

dear cpu cooler manufacturers....


i need a fracking cooler for my 1156 setup NOW.

speed this shiz up

Noctua has a cooler that comes with a 1156 plate fits

http://www.coolerguys.com/840556090861.html

Thats the cheapest place your going to find it. I've ordered from them multiple times, good place.
Replace the Noctua fans with some high CFM Delta's or Scythe's and you have a badass setup, like mine.

 

[johnnyfiive]

Nothing incredible...

But 4.2 is nice. I think my D0 is a C0 in disguise.

 

[Jakethesnake011]

Not bad same clock and voltage I had my D0 running with my UD5, working on it now with the classy

 

[mastrdrver]

If its a latter D0 batch, I think Intel figured out how to sort them and keep 975EE chips ending up being branded as 920s, etc. It seems that the chances for better 920s are batches pre 39xx. My 3903 will do 21x200 at just under 1.3v, I think. I need better cooling to test as stressing to find stability at that voltage will make the chip run in the high, high 80s for most of the time.
