[First Touch] i7 920

[Chuchnit]

This is my first boot after installing XP. I haven't even touch the subs or pumped up the uncore. That will come tomorrow. This was just my first boot with something other than stock. Pay no mind to vcore because I just guessed at what works. I know efficiency sucks, but I'll work on that after work.

[Dentlord]

Sweet, looking forward to what you do with it!

[Neuromancer]

Not bad :)

[Apache0c]

Exciting :thumbsup:

[Chuchnit]

Thanks guys. I'm going to see just how far she will go today for 32m and 1m. Then I got to round out the rest of 2D. I really need to practice bclocking because I've been spoiled with an unlocked CPU. :blush:

920's are beast .....

920's are beast .....

They are definitely boint whores. :taunt: Now I got to do some reading on settings for high bclock. :blink:

looks good Chuch, what's the batch#?

[Chuchnit]

I'll have to get the batch number when I tear it down for the SS :D I know its an A batch, but forgot to write down the whole thing. I was too excited to get back to overclocking. ;)

You have no idea. I went almost a month with no CPU in the socket. :ohcrap:

[Witchdoctor]

Got mine up to 4.6 bootable and 4.367 for the Cinebench Air contest on the Intel stock POS

Do you have a decent air cooler ?

[Chuchnit]

Megahalems :thumbsup:

[Witchdoctor]

Hell yea ...... you should be able to do well with that :thumbsup:

[Chuchnit]

I hope so. I want to do a comparison of the net gains of the SS vs. aircooling.

The gains are large lol.

[Hondacity]

the imc needs -30c to clock high and stable....

[Witchdoctor]

Here it is the prediction is 4.4 06 benchable .............. :thumbsup:

SS 4.901 06 Benchable


you read it here first .............................. LOL

Evbot exclusion in play :Hi:

I know, but I wanna know just how much.

I could bench 32m at just shy of 4500mhz uncore on air with my W3580. :thumbsup: That went to 5ghz on cold though :D

No evbot here buddy. I do need to get one, but I'm blowing my load to get the SS. I don't know how good this chip is yet, but the W3580 was 06 benchable at ~4580mhz on air. ;) CPU test that is. I could pull 4711mhz on GT's. :D

[Witchdoctor]

They are some insane air clocks bro .....

sure you will milk it for all it's worth :thumbsup:

More like a golden CPU. We shall see what the old 920 has in her this evening.

[Kal-EL]

Where's the 4.6ghz air runs?

Dude I got sucked into the 32m game, and then crashed at like 8pm. I'll have another go at it today.
