DrNippin's Air Adventures

[DrNip]

Been real busy the last few days but finally had time to tweak with my setup. Don't laugh as this is my 1st experience with an i7. I don't know what the norm is with these but here is my 2nd overclock. The 1st one was at 4ghz. Looks good to me. :D

[Chuchnit]

Oh man uber nice vcore :D Have you had a chance to play with the memory yet?

[DrNip]

No. I'll get there just want to figure out what she has in her. BRB.

[Chuchnit]

Cool beans. Still that's really really low vcore to have HT on. Man hurry and get the 1366 mounting from EU :D

[Jeffro64]

Sweet... I can't wait until I have mine to play with!!

[Kal-EL]

Shit dude, thats good overclock for that voltage on an i7 from what i've seen. keep pushin

[DrNip]

Shit dude, thats good overclock for that voltage on an i7 from what i've seen. keep pushin

All these years of CPU's and it looks like I might have got me hands on a good one finally!


:dance:

[Jeffro64]

After all you had to deal with I sure hope so!

[Chuchnit]

What kind of temps are you seeing nip? Does it seem to run cooler than people were posting with CO/C1?

[DrNip]

Here is a comparison on stock settings with turbo enabled.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/Stock.jpg

@ chuchnit - It is pretty hot in my house now but temps were in the norm. Cores are 39 at stock but this morning they were 32 at stock. Just shows you how much hotter it is now.

[Chuchnit]

You make me want one :)

[DrNip]

OK here is a 1st overclock on me RAM. Timings are a lil loose. Will tighten them up in a minute.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_1.jpg

[DrNip]

Now this is just too damn fun!!!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_2.jpg

[Jeffro64]

Dayum! :D

[Chuchnit]

Dude I think you scored a killer chip. Keep pushing that memory and uncore :D

[DrNip]

Did some basic wPrime runs as well as a Vantage runs just for 8-10 point pickup. I have way more in this, just a basic overclock on it beat out my e8600 on these benches. :D

[Chuchnit]

Very nice runs buddy. I'm jealous :D

[DrNip]

Whoa!!! This thing stomps a mud hole in wprime. Set the thread count to 8 and watch it take off. Mind you these my runs were only at 4300mhz!!! This cpu gets a lil tougher to overclock the higher you get. Gettin to 4300mhz is a breeze. Past that and it is a tweakin game. Might be at this longer than what originally thought. I have to get the clockin down 1st before I throw the pot on it.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/wprime_1.jpg

[Chuchnit]

Dayum!! Is that still at 1.65v for the memory? Give me some 7-8-7 love :D

[DrNip]

Dayum!! Is that still at 1.65v for the memory? Give me some 7-8-7 love :D

Yeppers.

[Jeffro64]

I gotta learn about these memory settings!

[DrNip]

Well that is about it for now as I have to go to work. 22.4 points picked up from just wPrime and Vantage. That was with a mild 4.3ghz clock, no RAM tweaks just the basics set on it, mild GPU clocks as well as no tweaks on them. :D

[Kal-EL]

Looks like u have some nice point gains in ur future drnip. :D

[DrNip]

ZING!!!!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_3.jpg

[Chuchnit]

Nothing short of impressive... Great job and great combo

[DrNip]

That's on air with it 80 degrees outside and my windows are open so it is almost as hot in here! Wish I could do that 22x mult like some can on their mobos.

[Kal-EL]

Hot dammed, lookin like a killer whale of a chip!

[DrNip]

Oh and I booted that speed. No FSB here.

[Jeffro64]

HOLY CRAP!!!!:confused3:

That is impressive.... Hope I get a good chip like that when I get mine.

[DrNip]

WOOT WOOT!!! 2100 on the ol RAM!!!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_5.jpg

[Jeffro64]

WOOT WOOT!!! 2100 on the ol RAM!!!


Ummmm.... Ya lost me LOL!

[DrNip]

...and it keeps going and going.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_6.jpg

That's set to 2150 in BIOS windows only showin 2146. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Chuchnit]

makes me sick and happy for ya at the same time.

[DrNip]

You asked me to up the speed and volts on the RAM. :splits:

[Chuchnit]

Yeah I did :D Have you tried 2000mhz CL7-8-7-20?

[DrNip]

Yeah I did :D Have you tried 2000mhz CL7-8-7-20?


Nah. I'll give her a whirl tomorrow.

[Jeffro64]

BIG CONGRATS NIP!

Now someone explain this ram stuff to me!!!

[DrNip]

As you already know RAM goes like:

DDR3 1033
DDR3 1333
DDR3 1600
DDR3 1800
DDR3 2000

and what not with a few extra's in between. I have DDR3 2000 but have them runnin at DDR3 2150 in BIOS and in windows it is runnin at DDR3 2147.9 which is 1073.9mhz. You just double the MHz to equal the MT/s. So 1073.9MHz = 2147.9 MT/s. Not to mention I have them runnin that at cas 8.

[Kal-EL]

Which is pretty damned insane at 2147mhz :D

[Jeffro64]

So your basically just putting in the Mhz like I did in my bios for 1800 and then telling it what timings you want. I just didn't know if there were other settings involved or not.

I do see what your saying though....in cpu-z my ram says 900Mhz and doubled that is 1800. Ima learnin.... I think LMAO!


Your FSB: DRAM says 2:10 and on mine it says 1:2.... What does that setting in the bios do for your ram?

I don't think I can run it at that or if I did it would be real slow. This i7 is a totally different ball game BIOS wise.

[Jeffro64]

I was just wondering what those settings do for the ram as i've never messed with them, just sync mode.

[DrNip]

Today I will be testing the limits of my RAM. I think this is a check. Going to tighten her up some.

[Chuchnit]

Damn buddy looking good. Is that vdimm correct in the smart gaurdian?

[DrNip]

Yeppers.

[Jeffro64]

Nice numbers.... and thats a sweet lookin rig!

[Chuchnit]

Nip, it looks like you finally got great hardware all the way around. Pwnage is imminent.

[DrNip]

Thought I zapped the mobo!!! I got scared as it froze up. Upon restarting it it gave me code 88. I reset the CMOS and it gave me a non existing code again like the last mobo. So I pulled the battery and let it sit for a bit and by the grace of the overclocking gods they winked on me and the mobo started up again.

hahaha, I bet under normal circumstances that would be no big deal. All hail lord overclock :rofl

[DrNip]

Just realized it threw me waaaay back to 12/7/2007 at 11:00pm!

[Chuchnit]

hahaha

[DrNip]

Gettin to 221 bclk is a breeze and that is where I am now. I can get there at really low volts too. Gettin past it is a different story. I am goin to have to buckle down and do a lil research as well trial and error to get past it. I read some where that when you start to get in excess of 221 bclk the pcie clock comes into play. I might need to wait until my pot mount comes in too as I read some cpus just can't hit that high of bclk without cooler temps as I am floating in the upper 40's to lower 90's at these speeds.

[Kal-EL]

Its gonna be fun once I eventually get into the i7 action. I wonder if the bios revisions are gonna have any play in increased clock performance.

[DrNip]

Look at this.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_1-2.jpg (http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_1-1.jpg)

[Kal-EL]

I see it, its getting hot in here. :cool:

[Jeffro64]

It'll handle more!!!!! :D

[DrNip]

Here is the highest I have been able to boot. I know the vcore can come down some but I just can't figure it out. I need more practice as I know I am pushin it thru the boot with unnecessary vcore.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_7-1.jpg (http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_7.jpg)

[Jeffro64]

Thats pretty damn good on air! I can't wait to see it on dice.

[DrNip]

Yeah I kinda think I might need to put the pot on her to get her higher as heat is playing a major role on it. Scales better when cooler. Way better.

[DrNip]

Alrighty. I am getting back in there as I think I have been given her too much volts causing too much heat which in return is limiting my blck. I think. So I am starting from the floor up with less volts and so far I am amazing myself yet again with this lil o gem of a CPU I have. :D

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_8-1.jpg (http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj55/travisjcottrell/920_8.jpg)

[Jeffro64]

Nice! What do you tweak to get better scores in that bench? I ran one @ 11.578 and thats net bad but I think I can do better.

[DrNip]

More FSB or BLCK!!!! LOL I really don't know. I am sure there are alot of variables to come into play to make your score better.

[Jeffro64]

More FSB?? Not with this board/bios.:mad:

BTW.... I've been seeing you talk about BLCK, what is that anyway?:confused:

[DrNip]

Base Clock. Here, read up on this as it will kinda give you a run down of how to overclock an i7.

Kewl thanks!!

Hold the phones! I might just have a cherry! 4.75ghz at 1.4v!!!!

[Kal-EL]

Jeff, sometimes running just a single stick of ram will net you faster times. Trial and error for most.

[Kal-EL]

I smell another 5ghz overclock on air from u nip.

[DrNip]

Man I am lovin this shit. Sorry for the language but years and years of wanting a cherry and I finally have one!!!

[Jeffro64]

Yeah.... it's looking very possible for a 5ghz on air clock. Amazing indeed!

[DrNip]

If temps were cooler. Damn why ain't it winter still!!!

[Kal-EL]

If temps were cooler. Damn why ain't it winter still!!!

Well, officially, the on air 5ghz overclock was with cool ambient air temps so running an a/c unit wouldn't be far fetched.

[Jeffro64]

Run a duct!!!!

[DrNip]

I went ahead and dubbed my chip "Golden Graham".

[Chuchnit]

lmao Nice one

[Kal-EL]

Significance of the name?

[DrNip]

Significance of the name?

[Kal-EL]

I get Golden, help me with Graham.

[DrNip]

No reason. Just because. I have seen golden goose, golden boy and what not. Was looking for a name and I liked the ring of it. Not to mention I love Golden Grahams! LOL

[Kal-EL]

Well, its a cracker not a chip but wth, Great Name! Now flog that cracka on some LN2/DICE :D

[DrNip]

Well, its a cracker not a chip but wth, Great Name! Now flog that cracka on some LN2/DICE :D

Waiting on this fool to send me my mount kit before I can do anything in sub-zero land.

Going to run my 05 and 06 benches again tonight with a higher cpu clock as well as higher gpu clock.

[DrNip]

Doo-doo-doo!

[DrNip]

And here we go again.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=556668

I won't be happy until I hit 4.9ghz on air!

[Jeffro64]

I want 5.0ghz mister!!!:southpark:

[DrNip]

HAHA you crack me up jeffro! LOL. I'm workin on it, man am I workin on it. At times I think I am going to catch this thing on fire.

[Jeffro64]

Just kidding bud.... don't damage anything.

I just got my ram @ 8-8-8-24 2T and it seems stable I think.... made a difference in 3dmark 01. :D

[DrNip]

Nah your cool. It ain't overclockin if somethin doesn't break or catch on fire. I ain't scared to lose somethin in the process. Why? Because I'm Under the influence of being Over the Edge!

[Chuchnit]

Ok nip you gotta stop having all this fun bro. I'm having hardware withdrawls and jealousy issues. For real man, you have one sick ass setup that's gonna pwn under cold.

[DrNip]

That's if the board is willing. The CPU is. I just hope so or else I will be out another 400-450 on a classified! :(

[Chuchnit]

That's if the board is willing. The CPU is. I just hope so or else I will be out another 400-450 on a classified! :(

Nah homie, I don't see it NOT scaling when colder. That goes for the mobo too when the cold works it's way to the nb and pwm sinks. Now the only problem is trying to catch up to V2-V3's gigantic lead :eek:

[DrNip]

Only 250 points away! :D

[Chuchnit]

No sweat if you pimp all that hardware of yours :D

[Jeffro64]

Hey Nip.... Is this the ram you have?

KHX16000D3ULT1K3/3GX

[DrNip]

Yes sir.

[Jeffro64]

Not a bad price on it at the egg... I might pick some of that up.

[DrNip]

New high. Only 47.45MHz away from my 4900MHz goal. :D

4852.55MHz
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=558062

[Jeffro64]

Sweet!

[Kal-EL]

Lookin good nip:bow3:

[Chuchnit]

:eek: I'm outa words to see that on AIR with HT enabled.....

[DrNip]

I think I am maxed out on air. 231.07 blck is all she will do. Duniek where the BLEEP is my BLEEPIN mount kit!!!!

[Chuchnit]

I think I am maxed out on air. 231.07 blck is all she will do. Duniek where the BLEEP is my BLEEPIN mount kit!!!!

Well that's nothin' to be pissed about. Awesome clocks. :trophy:

[DrNip]

4.2ghz @ 1 hour Prime95 small FFTs. Not too shaby.

[DrNip]

Well I got back from vacation late the night before last. Got up went to work, got home turned on my computer for the 1st time in 5 days and BSOD at Windows boot screen. I reset the CMOS a couple of times, pulled the battery as well as switched hdd's. Same scenario. So I popped in my Memtest as it was lookin to be RAM related just to find out one of my sticks had shitted itself. I have never seen a stick of RAM throw so many errors. I ran it for maybe 20 seconds and the errors had to have been up close to 1000 already!!! So now I am wounded for a bit as I have a master bathroom remodel starting tonight and I don't have the time or money let alone patience to deal with it right now. This rig has been one problem after another. So I am going to sit back in the cut for a bit until I come up with money and a different plan. Looking to get a new mobo and RAM. Might have to go get a paper route or somethin as that is another $700 I am goin to have to ex[plain to the other part some how. :(

I forgot to add, HOW THE FCUK COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED JUST SITTING THERE!!!! There, I feel better. :D

[Chuchnit]

nip I think some of those first run sticks are known to die early.

[Kal-EL]

Ouch!

[Jeffro64]

Damn.... I have that same ram. Atleast there is a warranty! Still a pain in the arse though.

$700.... You must be going for the Classified and that other ram you were talking about. :D

[Chuchnit]

Damn.... I have that same ram. Atleast there is a warranty! Still a pain in the arse though.

$700.... You must be going for the Classified and that other ram you were talking about. :D

Jeff I could be wrong, but I think it was basically the first batches off the line that were dying like crazy. I think they refined their process and it's not as big of a deal now. Don't quote me on that though.

[Jeffro64]

Fingers crossed :D

[DrNip]

So close...

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=577544

[Jeffro64]

Ah hell.... your there, we'll round up and call it a day! :D

Good going Nip! Wish I was having that kind of luck with the AMD chip.

[DrNip]

Damnit this one was 5ghz but when I saved it I guess there was a glitch. Immediately after I saved it my system crash. 5.3ghz would have been nice. :D



http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=577556

[Jeffro64]

DAYUM! Try it again!!

[DrNip]

I can't. I figured out what went wrong the 1st time I tried DICE on this mobo about a month ago. When it gets -50 to -60 degrees it won't boot. It tries but shuts itself off. I BLEEPED around and let it get to -59 degrees and here I sit waiting on it to warm up. I am almost out of DICE too. In a nutshell this mobo blows goats.

First things first. Buying a Classified with my first paper route check. :D LOL

[Jeffro64]

You haven't done bad at all.... my MB and chip, well thats another story.

[DrNip]

I think I have about rode this pony ride as far as it will go.

[Kal-EL]

Holy hell, Shazaaaam mother foker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


FFS AWESOME!!!!!

[DrNip]

All I can figure is I am experiencing a cold boot at only -50 to -60 degrees. WTF!!! I have jacked off what DICE I had left. I would get the pot warmed up, try to get 238 BCLK(5ghz) and it would freeze. Then it won't restart so I have to scoop out the DICE again. 4.94ghz 'll take, for now.

[Kal-EL]

Shit dude, wtf is that? Are these chips known to cold bug at these temps?

[Chuchnit]

Did you really break 250 bclock? WOW!! I wonder about that cbb. Seems like the temp changes from mobo to mobo as much as it does cpu's.

[DrNip]

I had to stop and scoop the DICE out of the pot 5 times last night due to the temps being -50 to -60 degrees. As soon as it fell below -50 we were cool and it would start. Now it would run at -50 to -60 just wouldn't boot. Big pain in my ass I tell ya.

No I didn't hit that high chuchnit. It was really 238 BCLK but somehow went to a mult of 22 but CPUz reported it at 21 mult which didn't pass verification. What I think I was doing wrong or at least holding me back 1-2 more BCLK was my QPI Frequency was too high. I didn't realize it until my last scoop of DICE and I was already booted. Temps were at -52 and I knew if I restarted it would cold bug. But I had no option so I restarted it. COLD FCUKING BUG!!! It wouldn't boot so my night was done as I was out of DICE. :( Maybe next time.

What's sad is it's the mobos out holding this chips back. I can hit 4.85ghz on air but on DICE I can only do .1ghz more than I could on air? Double WTF. I can't wait until newer and better mobos drop as I see 5.5ghz or more w/ 920 D0's in the future.

[Kal-EL]

Looks like the Classified doesn't suffer from these cold issues, just by what I've seen at XS so far. Wouldn't it be great to have one of those boards? :sick::popcorn:

[Kal-EL]

Which Evga X58 is better? The non-nf200 or the nf200? Doesn't seem to be in stock at Evga anyhow.

[Chuchnit]

Well that totally sucks buddy. I just know I've read that these i7 mobos are about as inconsistant as the chips for different cb's. Seems like guys are saying same chip has -xxx cb on a mobo and -xxx on b mobo.

Sadly unless there is an EO stepping or something I think the classified will be the pinnacle for mobos for some time. Everything on it was spared no expense and made of the best parts for overclocking. I just don't see a company spending the money to top it. That of course could change with the new revision of the nb?? When is that coming out?

[DrNip]

They both are knocking the skin off the ball supes. I will prolly go w/ the nf200 as I have seen more out of the parks with it. :D

Just got to throw some papers for a month or so. :(

[Kal-EL]

Looks like newegg has some in stock. Man it'd be cool to snag one of those. I think it's the nf200 board too!

[DrNip]

Tried doin some more overclockin on this piece of, pardon the language, shit mobo tonight with no luck. Damn thing does some squirrly stuff now. Every reboot it once to cut off, then cut back on and load as well as being stupid with the BCLK's over 220. Will be out of the game for about a month or at least the overclockin game. Got to save $700 for my new mobo and RAM. Do look for a video or pics of the destruction of this mobo when the new one drops. :D

[Buckeye]

Hey found this thread. Nice results Dnip !!

I haven't seen many cold issues on the Classified. On the runs I made with my D0 I was hitting -130c but ended up at -110c as that seemed to be the sweet spot.

Problem is at -110c to -130c it was drinking a lot of LN2 and about froze my F1 up after a few hours of that.

Makes me wonder how much LN2 the F1 would suck down running a AMD chip at max LN2 temps :rofl

[V2-V3]

What batch is your 920?

[Neuromancer]

DFI LP, the GB UD4/5 the classified and the R2E are the only ones I can find breaking 222 BCLK is that correct? Man I should have paid more attention before I bought this E758 :(

[DrNip]

3845B027. It was the 1st batch from Tank Guys that people were calling people like me stupid for paying a mark up price on. :D

I run it everyday at 4.315ghz with only 1.258v. :D :D

[V2-V3]

dude you are one smart mofo!

[69_Goat]

Damn, that is nice, DrNip!
How much more memory would it test if you stomp on the all button?

[DrNip]

Dunno. Haven't tried. I think the available memory I had was a little over 5,000 MB.

[2chesapeakes]

Very nice Nip m 975 maxes out at 4.1 on air due to temps and the volts are higher.

[Neuromancer]

Wow Nip, what kind of VTT/QPI you running to pull 6-6-6 at 1600+?

[DrNip]

+100 and its 6-6-5. :D

[Neuromancer]

lol my bad.

Very nice. Might have to see if these microns can pull that low a timing :)

For shits and giggles I pushed it even further to see what it can do.

Guess I'll keep going to see if I can hit 4.5ghz stable on air!!! :gun2:

Well I guess I am missing benching as I am doing alot of stress tests lately. Anyways here is some comparison between HT on and off. I am liking it off as I can run a little lower volts at a whole lot of lower temps. Take a look at the difference between max temps.

Off:

That's 71 degrees max at 4.420GHz!!!! Did I mention this is on air? :leghump:

Wow, thats a serious difference in max temps :shock: and thats not very much vcore too. I can't imagine the load on the F1 pot at higher volts with ht on.

Makes me want to turn it off under the DICE next time I get the engine running. I never ran it off until just the other day.

Rocking the air on the chip and doing some preliminary runs with this 5870. Trying to get the hang of it before I murder the bot. Had to remember how to overclock again as I was a little rusty! :D

Good stuff man ....... Milk that 920 for all it's worth ..... :thumbsup:

Best bointer out there

Yeah I am so going to have to go X58 again *sigh

Glad to see you back in action Doc

I have a 960 but doesn't perform quite like my lil o 920. For now the 920 is going to net me the quick points with these cards. Later on I will sit down with the 960 and straighten her out on the clocks. Hopefully it isn't a flop like an i7 I got a hold of awhile back. :(
