Guys I'm finally back in the game again And this time with the power of i7

i7 860/P55 SLI, huh? Seems familiar

 

[ERazer]

e6320 is down dunno wats wrong wont even run prime95 prolly bad mem (stupid crucial ballistix) ill recheck when i get home, heck might just build another x4 620

wow my q6600 is down too gonna have low numbers in couple days and im too busy to figure out wats going on till Friday and by then i can set up my rigs to fold too.

 

[Chicken Patty]

I found myself looking through the pie thread at the HOT CHICKS on a regular basis and feel I need to pay my share.

I saw that dusty was within 10000000 of taking the 1 spot and I gotta put some distance between us.

Gonna help on your challenges.

Just dropping in on my favorite team.


One or some or all of the above is true and I ain't figured it out myself.

Mike

So the hot chicks is what caused you to come back heh? I knew it! Good to have you aboard again still have all your rigs going?

Yeah but mines not oc'ed (yet) That P55 SLI is a really cool board tho

 

[p_o_s_pc]

Looks like i'm not far away from the i7 build I am only about $100 away from being able to buy a i7 920. I will have the board and ram on the way and i am going to have to use one of the GT's till i get the money for the 5850

Oh yeah it looks really nice. This is my 5mins from 2hr OCCT stable clock:

i hope my 920 will clock better when i get it but never the less not bad keep tweaking and it will be stable

I'm satisfied with this clock for a 24/7 WCG rig. I would try a 4ghz run, but this config runs relatively cool (61C OCCT) and with very slight voltage increases- could be a summer weather safe clock for me esp with no northbridge to worry about

You going for 4+ 24/7?

theonedub, What are your ambient temps? I will have an i7 860/P55 Sli FTW running in about a week and considering air vs. converting my S-775 water cooling over to 1156.

 

[theonedub]

I cant check the exact temp but its cool here in the winter. Its about 72F I would say. WCG @100% has the hottest core at 55C and the overall temp at 52C. This is with the XigDK with 775 mounts (crooked) with new AS5. I dont run the heat at night and last night at stock the 860 was at 47C loaded

Are you aware of the dual play functionality on EVGA boards, where you can mount 775 coolers on the board sacrificing looks? Like I said my DK is crooked slightly, but a waterblock would probably look fine only dependent on the shape of the block. My guess is you were aware of that already.

No, I was not aware of that, But I am now. I could care less about aesthetics. It's all about the performance for me. Thanks for the info, I will start researching this now

Edit: You are absolutely correct and you have made my day!!!

 

[theonedub]

No problem, saved myself from a $15 bracket

 

[p_o_s_pc]

I just sent the payment for the Asus Rampage II Gene and ram. All that is left is to buy an i7... I need to try to find a cheap one or sell more stuff

It looks like you bumped the Vcore up slightly. What else did you change to get her stable?

VTT +.025 as well.

One last Q for now, lol. Do you think 2 hr is enough. Usually for my Phenom and C2Q I did at least 90mins, but the i7 is alien to me. Should I let it go longer?

Thank you for your help.

run 30min of any linpack if it passes 2hrs of OCCT and 30mins of linpack i say let it crunch and check for task that have errors

Do you have LinX? It is a great stress test.

p_o_s beat me to the punch

Anyways, I use LinX and then call it good.

 

[theonedub]

Downloaded, will use it for future overclocking. I'll keep an eye on the results as well on WCG.com to make sure there are no errors, invalids, etc. I like to check that once a week anyway, but Ill do it more often for the next couple days.

Just watch out for Human Proteome Folding...

Ah, but are you aware of the fact that not all blocks fit? I tried to mount my HK block using the 775 holes, but the block collided with the capacitors. So I had to wait three days to get the 1156 upgrade kit for the HK. I would check first.

Way to rain on the parade In all seriousness though, that is good information. Thanks for posting it up.

Lol. I guess most of the coolers fit. Just a few really large ones don't.

 

[hat]

Ah, a bit of good news... I updated my motherboard's BIOS and it detected my cpu voltage as 1.275 instead of 1.325... so I suppose my old bios was actually overvolting my processor. Running at 3GHz on 1.275v now instead of 1.325v, we'll see how it goes...
