TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[johnnyfiive]

Use LinX for testing , it's better

If it doesn't pass the test when using all memory , then your overclock is not stable. It's very simple.

And if it's not stable , you need to raise voltages.

WHY is LinX better? A linpack test, is a linkpack test. What does LinX do that IBT doesn't? Someone explain.
As for Prime95, I've seen people run that for 8+ hours without issue, then they launch IBT and it will crash their system in 10 seconds. I think IBT is the quickest way to find if your system is stable. Personally, if my rig can do 20+ passes of IBT, its stable in my eyes. Prime95 is just a long waste of time. If you can pass IBT or any linpack test for 20+ passes, passing Prime95 shouldn't be an issue.

Prime 95 doesn't test the i7 fully. Run prime and run IBT or LInx and you'll see the difference in temps, easily 5-8ºc hotter than on prime.

Being back at stock clocks is so.....slow.

Got to get to reinstall of the OS. I think I messed it up a little.

Sup guys?

Well I'm going say good bye to you guys
The reason why is because I've got a 3 months during ban.
And i don't agree with the ban , so fuck it

I said ''tits?'' in some topic and got banned for it.

Dear mudkip,

You have received an infraction at techPowerUp! Forums.

Reason: Insulting other members and inappropriate language
-------
Really? That was a dumb ass move. Ever wonder why there are so few females on TPU? Look in the mirror.
-------

This infraction is worth 15 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

All the best,
techPowerUp! Forums

So apparently saying ''tits'' is an insult and worth a 3 months during ban.

Also it's apparently forbidden to ''insult'' a member , but that doesn't count for a mod?

Thansk paulieg and goodbye!

I wish you guys all the luck with your CPU's

Greetings to : Chicken patty ,Binge , wolf , t_ski and the others

Don't ever call the mountains in Montana the Grand Tetons, because of the meaning of Tetons

Dammit mudkip, it's gonna suck not having aroud dude. We'll be in touch man

 

[johnnyfiive]

^^^ this saddens me. :\

I half expected it. He usually gets bored after posting lord knows how many OCCT screens at various OCs then harasses people. Not that I wanted him to go, but again I half expected it.

ppl need to be harrased. half the ppl with problems or questions never read whats been posted to try and solve their problem.

thats why i dont help anymore.

why try to help if no one will listen..... the answers are in this thread already and have been reposted SEVERAL times.

 

[Asylum]

Sorry to hear that mudkip.
Hope ill see you around.

 

[Chicken Patty]

I'll have to Agree with fit 100%

 

[Jupiter]

Hmm... I surf this forum daily and i see people saying
all sorts of crazy shit. Was mudkip warned before the
ban? Are some people allowed to say whatever and
others not? This is a little disturbing to me! Either
this is a truly open forum or a language moderated
forum FOR ALL. There should not be any 'inbetween'.
I have been involved in Linux forum moderation myself
for a few years now, BOTH language moderated 'child
safe zone' and none-moderated free for all forums.
Have the moderators set either of these standards here?

To be clear, derogatory language directed AGAINST an
individual or group should never be allowed anywhere.

Just my two cents...

P.S. @Fitseries3 though i agree with you in principle that
people should learn to do their own research before asking
what some veterans consider 'stupid' questions or 'already
answered' questions, we must also consider the fact that
not ALL people are aware of simple geek techniques in finding
the answers they seek. Let's try and educate those people
as best we can.

 

[Fitseries3]

certain people take things too personally even if its not something directed towards themselves.

mods arent as neutral as they need to be.

I agree, and disagree. If the info is buried in the middle of a 266 page, 6600 post thread, then no, I don't expect people to go digging for it. The search function isn't always handy for finding exactly what you are after, especially considering there are so many phrases you can use to mean the same thing.

Yes, people should search, but no, the members shouldn't harass them.

i just think its dumb when ppl come in here and say....

"hi im new to x58/i7 can you give me settings for 4.2ghz to run 24/7 on my board?"

NO... im not telling you shit cause you dont understand how it works in the first place and from the looks of it you dont even want to attempt to try and learn how.

Yeah, those I agree with. It's all over the net that no 2 i7 are created equal. If they ask that, it just shows they didn't search at all.

 

[Chicken Patty]

I agree with fit when it's something stupid like that. Of course this is a very big thread and searching for an answer can be complicated. However depending on what it is they deserved to be helped. But when they do come in here asking for settings it is a bit disturbing. So in other words not only do I agre with fit but I agree with all of you as well

 

[Thrackan]

It's bad enough that I'm still subscribed, but could this thread at least cover i7 overclocking results?

I think we all agree that there's n00b and there's "What's Google?"-n00b.

 

[Fitseries3]

can we get back to pics? or do i need to make a pics only thread?

DAMN you for making a good point... lol

I just used a middle of the road setting that found then I worked from there. Yes no two systems are the same but I would wager you could use the following on all I7 with a 920 boards with a stock cooler. 19*195 CPU at 1.3750 QPI at 1.13325 Dram at 1.64 Dram timings on Auto. The new person then could work from there up or down on voltages and multipliers to hopefully acheive what they want. Name calling is counter productive

The issue is people assume we LIKE talking about this sort of stuff with people who won't even look at the chipset flowchart before asking us to give them the end OC. The new people we're barking at wouldn't know what to do with that information other than plug it in. Granted there would be some incompatability with those settings we would be the ones left troubleshooting. BOOOOO!!!

It is still counter productive and shows a lack of respect by using foul language and name calling. If someone helps you attain knowledge, I think is it only right you help someone else attain the knowledge you have if you are asked or have answer to the question asked. One should be proud others are asking for their input and should not be irritated because a Newbie asked. Remember at one time you were the newbie asking the questions.
