Thanks for the 24/7 clocks guys

I've got 4ghz stable, but I don't know if it's worth it. I can run 3.8 at 1.23v and temps stay 55-62 or so. 3.9 takes 1.29v with temps in the 60's, but 4.0 takes 1.34v and temps are in the 70's.

Here's a shot with full crunching and folding

I would still go with 4ghz since 70s aren't that bad at all... I'd even try for 4.2 to see what it gives, and if it's in high 70s low 80s, I'd take that

Just my opinion

Meh. That's great for benching. However, there is no reason to run that high 24/7. At 3.8 you have more than enough power for anything, and with the lower voltages, the electric bills will be cheaper.

n-ster · May 26, 2009

yea I keep forgetting you guys 24/7 alot and sometimes put it on my situation xD I only use the comp 3~4 hours max at a time and 5~6 average max per day

it depends what you 24/7 for though... and if you mind a bit more paid in electricity... it is really a subjective choice IMHO

It is certainly subjective. However, if you are running something like WCG 24/7, it's good to save some cash where you can.

n-ster · May 26, 2009

unless cash is not a problem or you really want to contribute more for WCG or something... or say that system is at work? and anyways, how much money could that save? I am not familiar with consumption and prices over there since where I live, electricity is ridiculously cheaper then US...

same here, I need the exact same voltages for those clocks, and my temps are the same. Right now I am working on lowering my clock to 3.8 GHz, temps stay much much cooler and the bill will lower some too! It get pretty hott at night with temps in the high 60's low 70's. Right now I am working my way down on voltage. I am @ 1.317v load and max temps are 64-62-64-61 ºc

I agree, thats what i'm working on right now. Specially since I am having a 2nd rig coming soon I need to save some cash with the i7 rig. One rig $230/month here

yea... never knew it could be that expensive... In that case 3.8~9 are much better choices IMO >.<

same here, I mean I live in Miami, A/C usage is a lot to be honest. But still its pretty expensive for only just one rig crunching.

Here in Montreal, we pay less than 7 cents a KWh

Really random and off-topic post, but:

What is that utility on the right-hand side of the screen and how can I get it?

thats is the Everest Side Bar. You need to have the application installed. It is not free however. You can try the TRIAL Version for free though.

no need to, you should stick around

. lots of chatting around here man. Learn alot sticking around this thread.

n-ster · May 26, 2009

especially if you plan to have/have an i7

Chicken Patty · May 26, 2009

here is what I am crunching at right now. Still working my way down on voltages, for tonight, its staying like this

mudkip · May 26, 2009

I'm looking how far I can go @ stock voltage 1.13v .

Now currently running 20 x 160 = 3,2Ghz with HT on fully stable :laugh:

now running 3,4Ghz with HT on.

1.1315v
-update- linkpack 15 runs stable @ 3,4Ghz

mudkip · May 26, 2009

3,6 Ghz @ stock voltage wow!

I'm comming to Holland to get your i7!

Well, Binge this is what I did pertaining to your post. I set my:

CPU Ratio: 20
CPU Voltage: 1.45
QPI/DRAM Bus Voltage: 1.4
DRAM Bus Voltage: 1.6

Load-Line Calibration: Enabled
CPU Differential Amplitude: Auto (Disabled or Normal Option Not Present)
CPU Clock Skew: Normal
CPU Spread Spectrum: Auto (Disabled or Normal Option Not Present)
IOH Clock Skew: Normal
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Auto (I Didn't Think It Mattered)

At 4000 Mhz, I was not even able to complete half of one run of Intel BurnTest before my computer blue screened

I'm thinking you received a sub par i7. Sometimes it just happens. I've had my fair share. The only thing chip makers promise is stability on stock. Anything else is a bonus. On my Asus Gene, I was able to get 4.0ghz stable on 1.36v vcore and 1.36v QPI/Dram with the CO chip I had at the time. All other settings similar to yours.

I'm sorry mate. I really wish you good luck sorting this out.

haha it is! coudn't believe it actually boot @ 3,2 Ghz with stock voltage... so 3,6Ghz was like : wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow for me
