What about a i7 920, is it good for Overclock?
 
Good and bad samples. Get a W3520

I don't want to buy one, i asked because when i bought the X58 it came with one i7 920.

It first of all depends on witch revision it has the old CO or the newer DO. DO is the bedst one to overclock since this later revision needs les voltage and by that produce less heat.
You can see on top of the CPU what revision it is or if its up an running use CPU-Z to confirm it. If its a DO they are normal good for around 4 GHz or more.

What i can tell also is that my i7 920 runs hotter than that i7 980x i have now.

Se if this riden on the headspreaders top.
C0 (SLBCH)
D0 (Q1H7, SLBEJ)

Else are here a comparison for my old I7 920 at 4.3 GHz and my I7 980X.

I will check that as soon as i arrive home after work.
 
I was saying W3520 as a better alternative to a 920, plus they are dirt cheap, about $8 a piece. :D

It is a ( SLBEJ )

2 days ago.

Without adding too much clock speed and voltage.

Winter is here, from 44c idle dropped 10c+

Then its a DO revision and shut be good for around 4 ghz as long its cooled by a good air or AIO cooler.

Oh yeah and my i7 920 where a do as well.

In any case i won't never use that CPU.
 
@CAPSLOCKSTUCK thats a p6t? Mine is a p6x58d-e

Nice looking board. I love asus boards
 
Aaaaah

Heres my favourite ASUS mobo. Wendys Nightmare in my specs

Oh thats a nice board. The same as mine :p. Before it took the place from my older asus rampage 2 extreme rog board.

Asus sure know how to make some nice x58 boards.

I mean not only does they look nice, but bios is user friendly (thats my opinion at least) and they overclock great. That i7 980x of mine can go to 4.77 ghz on that board and its cpu cooling not motherboard its self thats limits my overclock.

I would just wish x58 cut offer more cpu cores like 8 of them. Else x58 really holds up great over years:D

Well you can squeeze 12 cores of overclocked westmere power out of an evga sr2 but unfortunately i will never be rich enough to afford one

True, but that motherboard is a more rare species. Its not every day you see it and price dosent help either.
 
i have thought i was ready to install the Waterblock but then i realised that i forgot to buy the Thermal pads:cry:

I want to buy ARCTIC Thermal Pad

Excellent heat conduction through silicone and special filler, low hardness - Ideal gap filler - Very easy installation, safe handling Size: 50x50mm, thickness: 0,5mm

Is it Silicone conductive?



When i bought the Board it came with a Waterblock but the Waterblock came without standoffs, what kind of
standoffs can i use instead the originals one, plastic, rubber?

24 hour PC shop just round the corner ?


silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element, whereas silicone is a synthetic substance. Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. It's a metalloid, meaning it has properties of both metals and nonmetals, and is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, after oxygen.

I have decided to Watercool just the CPU for now, in some pics there are two CPUs, one is the first X5690 that a bought a few weeks ago and the second is a new X5690 that i bought a few days ago and it was delivered yesterday.

This is the new X5690 Watercooled
