t12am Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I have tried and tried and yet fail and fail again. I would like to get to 4GHz but starting to think this is not going to happen. I Dont how much more i am comfortable pushing and I dont want to stay there just want to achieve it with stability. I seem to be able to get 3.8 very easy and obtain stability but thats it. my last test did run for an hour but then could not even get back to the OS, and was very hot ( I am On AIR) AnteC 1200 i7 920 (2.66GHz) Asus P6T (Non DeluX) X58 (I7 model# 3841a346) Noctua NH-U12P Duel 120mm Fan 6GB Corsair DomiNator 1.65v 8-8-8-24 Thermal Take 750w ToughPower Asus GeForce GTX 295 / GPU: 576 MHz / Memory: 2 GHz any suggestions would be great. here is a post of the last test before i stoped last night. Lots of Volts and Heat This cpu fan and case are pretty good I had better temp results 1 try before this one but Multiplyer was 20 and bus under 200 (197 i think) ect ect ect .. but still was not stable.. does not like to even go into the OS after 4GHz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzlenitch Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Those temps are fairly outrageous in my opinion. I'd back it back down and call it a day. Doesn't look like that chip has it in it... just my two cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like that chip has it in it... just my two cents. 98c temps? Yeah, SO not worth it. I'd be perfectly happy with 3.8 and call it a day. You've easily reached the point of diminishing returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I think you're gonna have to water cool it to get much more out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3mpest Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 yeah.. 98C is kinda crazy, someone told me the chips start to melt at 100C but that might be hearsay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 nah 100C is when the fire starts. The melting is a little bit further Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 who else think that chips gonna burn out by the end of the week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turophiliac Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 nah 100C is when the fire starts. The melting is a little bit further lol. I really hope your chip didn't stay at those temps very long... maybe the heatsink mounting is a little off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t12am Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Well I wouldnt like to give up just yet even though I am getting there. Like I said I can bring those temps way down by lowering a few voltage setting and run 20 multiplier. I will be recording some more test tonight for now trying to gather info. I did shut that down for the temp after a few minutes and nothing else has even come close to those temps. untill that never went over the 76 degree mark I did wonder about the heat sink but it did have some heat through it .. Its a pain in but to take off or adjust. Edited February 11, 2009 by t12am Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a93j202k Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 those are yucky temps. can someone explain to me the difference between raising FSB to overclock vs raising multiplier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t12am Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) those are yucky temps.can someone explain to me the difference between raising FSB to overclock vs raising multiplier? I believe the front side bus is the better way to get a result from what i have read. Its more for system wide where as the multiplier is the CPU and although can get a quick reaction to what you might can achieve i am thinking you want take your time and find the setting by gains through the FSB.

Hyper Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 My I7 didnt take that much voltage to reach 4ghz, but it looks like temps are what's holding you back there. If I remeber i'll post a screen shot of my temps/volt's while prime95 is running. In the bios I have voltage set at 1.4v core and 1.4v on the qpi/vtt. the rest of the voltages are at stock. My temps just hit 75c after an hour of prime95 but my system is liquid cooled... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
