TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Jakethesnake011 · Jun 6, 2009

I have had problems with this Turbo mode and windows 7. But when the CPU is under load the voltage jumps down to about 1.39V Range and the temps are manageable. Now my QPI is about 1.36V and it seems to be working good there Sometimes I add 0.10V to it when running 3dMark or Linx.

Noticed you were not talking to me Paulie. Well anyways is 1.36V for QPI normal or should I jump it up to 1.40V?

More bad new for us i7 owners Intel goes back on what they said yesterday.

COMPUTEX 2009: Despite telling us face to face yesterday that its Core i7 920 and 950 CPU's will be around for a little while yet, bit-tech has exclusively seen roadmaps and been given multiple confirmations that every-single-one of the X58 motherboard manufacturers is expecting: 920, 940, 950 and 965 will be end-of-life by early next year.

Only the 975 Extreme Edition and the future 6-core LGA1366 CPUs will exist on this socket, with Lynnfield engulfing the entire middle field (we're hesitant to use the word "mainstream").

LGA1366 and X58 motherboards will be thinned out in the next refresh in Q3/4 with the launch of Lynnfield on Sept. 1st, although no one had an exact date for the phasing out of these CPU products.

bittech

this sucks, but the good news is the 6-core Nehlams,

Intel Answers: The future of Core i7 920

Intel Answers: The future of Core i7 920

Intel makes the claim that the popular Core i7 920 won't be discontinued and what Lynnfield WON'T be called.
COMPUTEX 2009: Having breakfast while ogling over the prohibitively expensive and ludicrously fast Core i7 975 this morning, we nailed down some details about the supposed demise of Intel's Core i7 920 and future naming of its Lynnfield CPUs.

First, the Core i7 920. Despite being told quite the opposite just last week, Intel vehemently reaffirmed the i7 920 will still exist for the foreseeable future. However, there was absolutely no commitment to a timescale.

Only the 940 will go, claimed Intel, as it will be replaced by the 950 – which we already know. Intel was adamant that a range of CPUs will remain available for the platform long after Lynnfield launches on September 1st.

Secondly, Intel said its Lynnfield processors would NOT be branded Core i5 like the rumours have suggested, but the spokesperson stopped short of what the name would be.

In fact, Intel stopped short on a lot of detail this morning – only that Lynnfield’s Turbo mode will be finer tuned and greater than that of Nehalem, which is certainly nice, but upon being probed for actual details like numerical values, Intel kept mum.

Will anyone from Intel go on record to give us a firm roadmap for the life of its i7 products and get us some numbers? You know how to get hold of us guys. For the rest of you, let us know your thoughts in the forums.

this sucks, but the good news is the 6-core Nehlams,

Or actually good news, when the numbers show that i5 isnt nearly as good, think of the re-sale value of the 920 when you eventually tire of it, S1366 will continue so there should always be a strong resale market, certainly for the next year or two I would think.

Look back to the QX9650, it was effectiveky replaced by the QX9770 which was in theory faster but generally didnt overclock as well, the 9770 nose dived and the 9650 continued to be in huge demand way beyond it's end of production....... in fact it still is in high demand.

hi guys i tried a few voltages to make my i7 reach 3ghz
i got it to boot at 0.96v and the temps droped too
but in cpuz i noticed that my ram was running at 636mghz but where as it should run at 1333
then i tried to run at normal 2.66ghz my ram ran at 534mghz
can u guys help me out y this is happening
my ram is corsair xms3 1333mghz 3x2gb
my board is msi eclipse sli

Your memory divider is probably on "auto" and running at 4x or 6x, try inputting manually at 8x.

PaulieG · Jun 6, 2009

Just messing around. Thought this was quite good, considering I was running Linx and WCG at the same time. I'm pretty sure it's stable...

Assassin48 · Jun 6, 2009

how many points you get in a day @ 4.3 Paulieg?

I don't typically run it that high 24/7. I typically run it at 3.8 at a much lower vcore for power savings.

Tatty_Two · Jun 6, 2009

Very nice Paulie! :toast:

Finally got the UD4P installed, damn gotta learn how to overclock this chip again with this new board :cry:

Does any gigabyte owners know why CPU-Z and everything else is only showing 4 threads when I have Hyperthredding enabled in the BIOS?

Chicken Patty · Jun 6, 2009

question. I switched from my PI blacks (3x1GB) to some Nanya sticks (3x2GB) and for some reason my CPU is running about 4-5ºc hotter. I think I read somewhere that this is normal. Anybody know if it is and why?

No idea. That's strange. :wtf:

Let me go look at the bios and see if I can find anything.

Assassin48 · Jun 6, 2009

isnt the memory going through the cpu?
maybe because it double more has to pass through

Yep, memory controller is "on die", more stress on the controller with 6GB equals more heat at a guess.

CP, I too have heard that you can expect a small temp increase.

If you've allowed multi-threading in the bios, I can't see anything else it could be. Try reinstalling cpuz.

Wetbehindtheears · Jun 6, 2009

I've managed to get to 3358.6MHz on 1.056V Core... (160 BCLK , x21 Multiplier)

Where did you guys get LinX - I can't seem to find that anywhere?

Chicken Patty · Jun 6, 2009

well guys I figured out why.

look at my voltage. Remember for those of you who do, I run 3.8 GHz to crunch 24/7 @ 1.29v full load. Here is full load now :laugh:

why didnt I notice before

thing is, if in my BIOS I set CPU vcore under 1.28v, it does that. Why, I dont know :confused:

so i cannot set it under 1.2835 or something like that. If I set it the setting above 1.28v it will do 1.27v idle 1.292v load. I'm going to go fix that now.

Chicken Patty · Jun 6, 2009

Ok, so that was it. Set vcore up one notch in BIOS, load is 1.294v to be exact

temps

cpuz

Thanks, I think thats it, also OCCT is showing only 3 cores and I think it's all down to the new mobo and chipset drivers, I will re-install the lot and give it a try.

I have had OCCT do the three core thing to me. It's a glitch, and should be fixed in the next OCCT update.

Wetbehindtheears · Jun 7, 2009

Here's my last effort for the night - I had to increase Vcore in the end!

I haven't really had a chance to stress test - what is this LinX program?

Thats just obscene voltage :eek:
