TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Getting close to that 1ghz mark

Tighten up that tRFC ram timing.

Nice jake!

 

[Jakethesnake011]

So far this is the best scores I had achieved so far, much more to come when I get break from my engineering classes... I also need to find a way to up the OC on my i7, thinking on going DICE with a nice KingPin CPU pot, unsure yet if I want to take my 1st DICE experience out on my i7 and classified....

 

[Chicken Patty]

those are good scores man, that is a single 5970?

As far as DICE, do a lot of reading bro. If you do it right, nothing will happen to your components.

so if i get an i9 do i need to start a new thread?

it doesnt really fall under the i7 subject does it?

You should, but you can always change the title of this one

if you use this one you will have to indicate in the first post from what post on is i9 involved. If not it'll be a nightmare for users.

This has become more the x58 thread than the i7 thread.

@Jake- DICE will give you nothing on a 920.

 

[Jakethesnake011]

Nothing...why is that, my BCLK limits? I am able to hit about 230 on the BCLK when running low multi's, yah the 400 extra mhz isnt much. I am not dropping $600+ for an i7 975 and then the i9 drop a few months later... Ill just wait and try it with the i9 I guess. Thats when I'll drop a grand for a chip... (crazy, I'm crazy to think its Okay to drop a grand on a damn CPU...)

Fit
lets see that beast and some benchmarks, i enjoy the scores you can hit

Cp
those are with a single 5970 too

 

[Fitseries3]

fuck expensive cpu's. i only get them when i get hooked up in a sick deal.

the 920 can hit 5ghz with the right settings. 240bclk can boot if you know how... on the classified.

 

[Jakethesnake011]

I can hit 230Bclk on the classy with conservative voltages... nothing major. Ill see later what I can push at higher voltages. But I cant expect the CPU to clock at those speeds with the higher multis.

I have never bought an extreme edition CPU and dont want to but if the i9 only comes such then I will...I have heard 5 different and only 1 EE, so Ill wait and see, any news on the different SKU's dropping for the i9

 

[Fitseries3]

you should be able to....

just need the right settings.

keep the ram clocked low.

 

[Jakethesnake011]

I do try to keep the ram clocked low about 1600mhz I can go a multi lower, although I have no luck getting 2000mhz from the ram and its rated for such. Kingston HyperX 2000mhz Cas9 sticks, cheaper of the 2. Have to fool with that more.

 

[Fitseries3]

you know if they are hypers or BBSEs?

 

[Jakethesnake011]

They are BBSE's

 

[Fitseries3]

heres my muskin redline ascent BBSE's...

 

[Fitseries3]

4.2ghz btw...

nothing special

 

[Jakethesnake011]

Can you shoot a Voltage page on E-leet, and let me know what you MCH strap is, I think it has no meaning to RAM clocks but I am unsure. It might be my voltages which are the problem, whenever I pick to boot at 2000 mhz with an uncore of about 4000mhz, I am unable to even post and I ahve tried 1.5 Vtt and up to 1.68 V DRAM, unsure I am missing something else when I want to run those speeds

[Fitseries3]

theres 2 mem settings that need changing in the bios.

both are 4 by default and they need to be set to 6

 

[Jakethesnake011]

thanks i will try that

 

[Jakethesnake011]

So far so good, was able to boot into windows I upped the Vtt just in case, now i will back track and begin to cut volts off. Thanks for info

 

[Binge]

That's a good mem-OC Jake. I like the timings.

 

[Chicken Patty]

^^agree.

FIT also just showed us a nice mem overclock as well at just 1.67v

 

[mAfia_boy]

ive just built my new i7 rig guys, check my specs out cuz im wondering on what settings i should use in the bios to overclock!?? ive got the asus p6t deluxe v2 and the bios is very confusing to me @ the mo!!??
