My Giga also keeps x21 over 80!

The lowest V I can get stable @ over 4GHz.... not happy about temps tho!

I guess it's time to go water!

Very nice, especially with HT on! HT off drops about 10 degrees in my experience...

Tatty_Two · Jun 9, 2009

I still have this issue with CPU-z and pretty much everything else reporting only 4 threads even though Hyperthredding is definatly enabled in BIOS, I have even turned off HT in BIOS and the CPU-Z report does not change, it must be working because when I turn it off and boot, if I go to Device manager it shows just 4 cores under "processor", when I turn it on again and boot, device manager lists 8 cores for i7 920?? :confused:

I am beginning to think it may be a bug in the UD4P's F7 Bios.

I am wondering if SV is on F7 and if so, does he have the same issue?

Thrackan · Jun 9, 2009

Hmm I have F7 on the UD5, I can check tonight if you want me to.

If you wouldnt mind thanks :toast:

I'm F7 on my UD5 and haven't had your probs Tatty....

Not sure what is going on there!

I'll try it without HT and see what that does to my temps, thanks Thrackan!

Works fine for me. Are you using the latest version of cpu-z?

Thrackan · Jun 9, 2009

Selling my C0 atm... Hope someone bids more than the measly €176 it's on now.

I am yes, I just cant work it out, it cant be windows cause as I said, it shows 8 cores in device manager, it cant be the chip because when it was in my DFI it was fine and even a badly seated CPU would not show these symtoms, all 4 cores are showing fine and temps are nice and cool. That only leaves the motherboard and BIOS unless I am missing something.

Thrackan · Jun 9, 2009

You could try disabling 1 or 2 cores in BIOS and see if it reflects in CPU-Z, but I don't know what conclusions you can draw from that action...

You say Device Manager shows 8 cores, does it show 8 cores being loaded when you stresstest?
Can you click "Hyperthreading as Dual Core" in OCCT to fire 8 threads?

I'll try those different options when I get home thanks, I'll try anything!

Nope, 4 cores 8 threads on CPU-Z 1.51

Keep in mind I'm running stock atm.

Hey Tatty, did you know W7 has a problem with i7 and CPU status reporting?

yes thanks but my issue is in both Windows 7 and Vista which I am running ATM. here you go, I disabled 2 cores in BIOS and started up with just the 2, CPU-Z shows 4 threads still so they must be working, I think it's the BIOS, i got it wrong before guys, it;s F8 I am on, the newest dated 11 May..... take a look............ anyone care to try F8 who has a UD4P to see if it's the same for them

Core Damage comes up as a trojan when using McAfee for Windows 7, McAfee 's Beta program. letting you know

Binge · Jun 9, 2009

Thanks but core damage is a reputible stress test.

Whereas McAfee is a giant piece of crap. I'd even use AVG before I put McAfee anywhere near my computer.

n-ster · Jun 9, 2009

BitDefender FTW lol or kaspersky maybe...

and yes Core Damage is a reputible stress test like Binge said

Been looking for a bench stable speed for the w3540, i think i found it so far, but will be trying to go higher, right now it's on hte bloodrage since it's prob the best responding board for me to get bench stable speeds. So far i hit

Freq : 4953.71 MHz (215.38 * 23)

But that isn't as stable as i want it yet...

But for today so far the winner is.....
Freq : 4836.28 MHz (210.27 * 23)

Wow, I'm speechless....

SystemViper · Jun 10, 2009

Yea, and i only put it on the bloodrage this morning, but that new beta G25 bios is pretty good, but i can see i am still limited by the board, i am hoping htat i can get it on a classified soon, then hopefully i can really crank it up, but i think 4.8 should give me some nice 3D06's and Vantage runs.

Plus i want 5Ghz today.... :rockout:

Binge · Jun 10, 2009

Wowow we should have been on the BloodRage earlier last weekend. :wtf:
