intel core i7 Owners Club

[sangemaru]

Got this little beauty. Found it for about 120$, unlocked its steppings to 41/40/39/39, though my cooling can only really push it to about 3.9GHz. If it's really cold in the room it can touch around 4.05GHz. The iGPU is overclocked to 1450MHz, boosted by some Corsair Vengeance 2133MHz ram.
I'm lovin' it.

XEON Alert
Be prepared to jump I7 ship

Intel's first 5-gigahertz CPU will bear an unlikely brand - Xeon. The company's upcoming Xeon E5-2602 V4 quad-core chip based on the 14 nm "Broadwell-EP" silicon, is rumored to ship with a staggering 5.10 GHz clock speed out of the box. Getting there won't be easy for this socket LGA2011v3 chip. Despite being a quad-core chip, with just four out of eight cores on the "Broadwell-EP" silicon bring physically enabled, the chip's TDP is rated at 165W. Other features include 10 MB of L3 cache, and a quad-channel DDR4 memory interface.

5Ghz out of the Box going to be impressive

impressive, 5.0GHZ out of the box!

I am a little more part of the club now.

I want to jump to X99 too actually... because I am warmly thinking of getting SLI... But still I want to do it dirt cheap fleabay style for the board and CPU... that damn US export tax... it spoils everything... I would also get some socket F hexcore opteron dirt cheap for crunching... but again it spoils everything.

On other hand... my current puppy works rather well still...

I have gotten two of these GB X99M boards for free now, just needed some pins straightened.

These were at my work. I technically paid a penny for them, it was pretty rough. The second one I did I am actually impressed it functioned. Pins were pretty messed up on it.

What monkey did that to them in the first place? I got my current board for 30€ as a water cooling accident... well washed, fixed few ways and works like a charm... the cpu was more expensive... got it for about 300€, but still a reasonable price. Especially for this piece of silicon.

An idiot that probably shouldn't touch a computer. Was still free to me so I am not upset.

Excellent! i will get another i7 for tests on job soon !
i7 2600 locked, with 8GB ram for testing a new ambient so probably it will crunch for a month or 2 !

Does that monkey/tech still have a job? or have you been visting the Doughnut shop to purchase bribes

Lol this was a return. No tech touched it minus the one that said he didn't think it was fixable.

 

[cdawall]

I think this is all she has for 1.35v what was max safe on these haswell-e chips anyway?

 

[peche]

5820K @4.5Ghz?

 

[cdawall]

4.5-4.6, but yes

 

[peche]

4.5-4.6, but yes

great numbers lad

Eh you know me I want more. That't to average for me.

that's like the normal aim

I can probably suicide shot it, don't think it will be stable on a little h100i.

Noctua is my go to. I am averaging 60C load with the current 4.58ghz/1.355v setup. For once I am actually using the corsair link software and it is set to a silent profile.

Here is the case setup.

 

[peche]

the rig is already done?
seems like you took the photo when you were building it,
silent profile is not taking full advantage of the AIO, i guess that you could push to 4.8-5.0 ghz with a extreme profile, forget about the noise,

Noctua is pretty excellent solution, i trust AC mx4!

It is I just didn't take another pic after I tossed in the temp video card. It has a single 7950 in it right now.

It is completely silent however which is quite nice for gaming.

never care about noise, y use my computer with my headset, also i love fans, i have a commander g42 window with 3x120mm front intake fans, 2x120mm top exhaust gelid slim 1 120mm bottom intake and 2 x120mm riing 12 for my ater cooler/ rear exhaust its almost like a xmas tree... fully lights...!
