Have to admit my PC is on 24/7 as I only pay fixed rent.. lecy is included!!

Sorry CP.. only have room for me and my PC(s) TV and bed really!

i7 D0

3.66GHz is easy with stock Intel cooler and Vcore 1.275V. Case closed. Core temperature is around 95C by LinX burning.

I say set the multiplier to 21x (enable turbo mode? im not sure on giga boards)

the chip may well do that speed (~3.85ghz) at the same voltage as now, but a better cooler should be top of the list, 95 C is a good 25+ degrees to warm for my taste.

95C is what I'd call too hot. There are alot of decent coolers out there that would bring that back to 70-80 depending on airflow.

@JJ-Sheridan Good luck with the overclocking that i7 I have ordered the same board and chip (also asked them to make sure to give me a D0). Hopefully we can compare some settings.

Of course, giga mobos can do it!
Well, Intel cooler already been uninstalled, but I saved one more screen - wPrime 1024M passed with Intel cooler (1.35V cpu Vcore in BIOS):

Now I have got ASUS Triton 88... Tried turbo mode (200*21 1.45V in BIOS):

I tried 1.4V on cpu (200*21), but LinX was unstable. I guess, that :wtf:

cpu wants too much voltage to get ''rock solid'' high clocks.

PaulieG · Jul 21, 2009

What are your load temps with LinX? I have noticed that newer batches are needing more vcore on average.

Just did it right now.. mmm.. it's 90C

BUT, mobo special CPU status LED indicator never lights red. Only yellow - it means (from manual) that cpu temperature is in the range of 60-80C.
BIOS settings:
Vcore 1.4625
LLC on
QPI/Vtt Voltage 1.535
DRAM Voltage 1.66
For 24/7 I set:
200*20 (no turbo)
Vcore 1.4
LLC on
QPI/Vtt Voltage 1.41
DRAM Voltage 1.66

Disable everything in ''Advanced CPU features'' and use these settings:

turbo boost techn: Enabled
Cores enabled: all
CPU multi threading: disable or enabled as you wish

this will give you the 21x multiplier constantly

Seriously..that's too hot for 24/7

Off topic
I'am not sure about correct temperature of 90C by RealTemp. Mobo says, it is under 80C. Anyway, using 4GHz 1.4V 24/7 and in Folding@Home SMP cpu temp. is about 62-64C.

You have the same BIOS revision and realtemp version... I assume it's correct, but it's hot nonetheless, even around 80 is what I consider hot.

The stock cooler is really a huge POS. I would suggest replacing it asap.

Yeah, that's why I replaced it to ASUS Triton 88 cooler.

I agree to this post:

Unfortunately my 920 D0 cpu confirms this. If I want 4.2GHz, I need to setup 1.45+Volt. And get 90C in burn test, even with power air cooling.

Yep, that is the case with mine. I have to use above 1.24 to even get 4.0 to boot into Windows. I'm in no way complaining though, still better (voltage wise) than a C0 stepping.

good to know, on my asus i can set the multi from about 12 thru 21

and as for the JJ-Sheridan situation, I tend to agree that newer D0's may need more voltage.

I've been thinking mine was high requiring 1.275 for 4ghz and 1.35 for 4.2ghz

Jakethesnake011 · Jul 22, 2009

mine is 1.344v for 4.20-4.25 and 1.355 Vtt
Which I also feel is higher than the better D0's

bpgt64 · Jul 22, 2009

I have been able to lower my Temps to 43/55C idle/load by dropping the vcore to 1.1V. Granting I am only running about 172x21. I just see 80/90C and freak..heh. Is there any draw back to doing this?

Jakethesnake011 · Jul 22, 2009

Anyone with a ud5 can you please let me know where the read out points are to use my multimeter on. I have not had any luck finding them

Drawback from lowering your vcore? No that is good lower vcore lowers temps and wattage used. But even with my 4.25ghz with 1.344V vcore, I still idle at 45 46 46 47, but load with LinX at 86 Max.

I wouldn't buy an MSI if you paid me, and what I've seen they all have a low BCLK max. I've almost bought an EVGA to try several times, including the new micro they just release. Looks really nice for $210.

micro is 199 i thought...
