here is retail price....

im selling all 4 of these if anyone want one. price will be alot lower though

they are great cpus. i have not found the wall yet

i wonder what they would do under some dice

For sure man, those chips look like they can handle the pressure of high BCLKs.

I wonder how high tho, with a x19 CPU Multiplier you would need around 263 BCLK for a nice 5ghz overclock.

I wonder if fits can put that cpu under water and see how high he can get it.

Hey Metal ~ Which i7 rig are you getting that 4.5 clock on and what temps are you seeing?
Nice vcore

That's on the Asus P6T deluxe v2 and the max temp for that run was 69c.

Nice.

Did you have to add any volts to the gpu to keep the same clock in Crossfire?

Still runnining stock voltage on gpu's.

Really! That's quite impressive. Outside of the unusual lucky card, most on XS require right around 1.3v give or take to get 1Ghz. Or did I miss something, since I don't have a 5 series, and most clock high but voltage requirements suddenly take off on average the closer to 1Ghz the core gets?

These are Asus cards and the default clocks are 850/1200 which is kinda strange considering those are the same defaults as the 5870.

trying to get ram to 2000Mhz ??

will i tryed and couldnt so im asking for some help

 

[brandonwh64]

try loosing timings to 10-10-10-28 or 30

 

[DOM]

try loosing timings to 10-10-10-28 or 30

there supposed to run stock speeds of 9-9-9-24-2N DDR3 2000 1.6V

 

[brandonwh64]

try 10-10-10-28 or 30 with 1.65v

well see if the ram is stock 2000mhz then you overclock on the CPU might be messing with it

What is the default vcore on those GPU's?

 

[brandonwh64]

Also give your NB IOH some volts im runnin @ 1.2v

 

[DOM]

these are the other settings

 

[brandonwh64]

bump IOH from 1.1 to 1.2

you have to change memory timings in the bios

I tried to tell you about how hard it is to get ram to hit 2GHz on the i7. Even if the ram is rated to do 2GHz your CPU may not be able to handle the strain on the QPI, or the ram itself isn't strong enough to do 2GHz stable.

whats to high of a volt for the QPI ?

 

[brandonwh64]

yea binge is right. i just got 3x2gb or DDR3 tri channel 1600mhz 1.5v to replace a older set and @ first it ran good @ 1500+mhz with my CPU @ 4.1v but it started randomly freezing and i knew it was me trying to run it too high due to the overclocked CPU so i lowered it down to around 1200mhz and it runs perfect and im loving the tri channel performance. it lowered my Wprime score down by a whole 3 sec from 10.213 sec to 7.2 sec

 

[Binge]

whats to high of a volt for the QPI ?

1.35V is intel spec max, but people are always pushing it higher. It honestly

Spoiler

DEPENDS ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL CHIP

It may be that even with 1.5V on the QPI your cpu can't handle it because it has a weak QPI. The 920s are a gamble when it comes to the more impressive overclocks. 4.0GHz and 1600MHz ram is possible for all 920s, but it starts to get iffy @ 4.4GHz+ and 1900MHz+

 

[mastrdrver]

It also helps if you let us know what board and ram you have as it is not listed in you specs.

Though, Binge is right and unless you get the freak 920, which is far from the norm, you're way too low on vvt for 4Ghz unCore.

whats vtt on turbo v ? updated my specs

 

[MetalRacer]

What is the default vcore on those GPU's?

The vcore is 1.062.

 

[TheShad0W]

The vcore is 1.062.

You're doing 950Mhz core at 1.062v? Impressive

If I push mine to 1000Mhz I have to go to 1.262v, at 1010Mhz it takes 1.274v and then beyond that I run into the limit of what the power connectors can supply as it's consuming ~225W under load
