TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[ghassoul]

Man, I'm irritated. I can't change the damn multiplier!! On the Biostar it's call the "cpu ratio setting". It's stuck on 20, even though I've turned off speedstep. WTF???

You need to ask nelly , i am sure he would help you , maybe you need to update your Bios?

Just ordered 2 sets.

great find!

same here. 12gb WOOT!

same here. 12gb WOOT!

Damn if windows desktop where smart enough you might get to
use all that memory. I only play two games on this pc in windows,
GRID and NFS and have never used up my 6gb. In linux i don't
think my total mem utilization has ever gone over 1.2gb while
compiling 4 apps at the same time. Linux only uses 260mb of
mem after booting into my composite opengl desktop!!!

gonna be doing LARGE file folding on this rig soon. 12gb will allow me to alocate 1gb per gpu x6 then still have plenty left over for the cpu and windows.

Yea, i am building 2 - i7 workstations so I will prob get more, they don't need crazy ram, and this ram holds it own tooo,
again
thanks...

Ah ha, you one smart guy.
I usually set aside 2gb partition on my ram for compiling
rather then using hard drive /temp partition. WAY fast
so i see what you mean.

I was just using Adobe After Effects and it was using 5G for the file I was working on, so I can't wait for 12G

Chicken, the EVGA look nice? Clock nicely? If so, I may get the EVGA board along with 920 and 6GB 1866MHz RAM.

Look at these tests , the evga x58 board is weak

Hi Fit , ever tried the mobo Asrock x58?

i recommended that board a few times but no one ever gets it. its a monster for folding.

I will throw the dice and will get that board ,the second week of march.

Everything is so close it comes down to what you using it for and what you like in a motherboard.

I see MSI on top, i used to love them, have to take a look at the pWM. hmmmm

Still, I am a BloodRage Guy,,,,,
But I liked the Gig Extreme and I know the bios from my uD3P

but i want a EVGA Classified

I can believe that. I guess i just haven't been doing anything
that is a resource hog in windows lately. It's nice to see that
there really is a benefit in windows to these upgrades we been
doing. Unfortunately for me all my windows work in the past few
years is with servers not desktops. Outside of work i stay in
linux and, in that area i am the oddball too since i love linux
but am a big capitalist. So i do spend lots of time in the linux
community defending MS from OSS zealots who think MS is evil
because it is not free.

If Linux supported all my stuff and was easy to use, i like GUI's, then i would use it/ I learned it years ago.

But my motto is , use what you know and what works best for you. So to me that is Intel, Microsoft, Vista 64 and I like single GPU solutions and Nvidia has the best.

Here's my 2 last rants before bed,

I hate that dual GPU's are considered single cards, It's friggin 2 cards on one PCB, a person gets no credit for rocking a single GPU, because all the X2's blow them out fo the water.

Plus i don't want to heqar anyoen asl me if i primed for the last 8 hours or i'm not stable or ran liinpak for the 2 days, I mean common, if the machine can game, run and doesn BSOD it's fine. I don't want to run a torture test on my system especially and put it thru 2 years of hard use in 12 hours to prove anything,. I think that is a joke and laugh whenever anyone says that.////

Heh. Linux has come a long way my friend. Ubuntu is pretty much as easy as
Windows to install and operate. But one thing Windows does NOT have is a
true composite dekstop 'imagine your desktop functionality in opengl, like a game'.
I use compiz-fusion with 4 virtual desktops and run windows on viewport 4
fullscreen so you can not even tell it is not native when viewing unless you do
something like you see here in one of my old videos.
