Excidium00 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Well, I picked up a Core i7 920 and decided to go to work on it. After a day of sifting through the bios of my Rampage II Gene, I've got this so far. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=803768 Temps are around 65C under LinX. Strange things I've noticed is that the voltage creeps up a tad even though I set it manually at 1.27v and the 4th core tends to be 4C lower than the others. Any tips or anything to bump it up a little higher are appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 You've got a golden chip, that is an amazing overclock for the amount of volts running through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excidium00 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Well, that was some unexpected news Think I'm gonna poke around the BIOS and stuff a bit more, see what I can get away with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Nice clocks! Is it stable at that speed or just a screen shot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabrielT Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Is it on air? Megahalems w/ 2 Scythe 1900rpm fans push/pull in sig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excidium00 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) It's on air, got a Megahalems with 2 Scythe 1900rpm fans on it. I've been running LinX to check temps on it, 20 passes. I think once I get better feel for this stuff I'll try out a Prime run or something. It passes wPrime 1024m at 205x20 at 1.33v atm. I probably set the voltage too high, think I'll try to lock multi at 21 and lower the BCLK and see if I can drop some voltage.

sack_patrol Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) tkrow21 is right. It is a golden chip. I wish mine had a little more potential. EDIT: Hey wait! Did you overclock through bios or some software? ballist1x doesn't approve overclocks that aren't done with bios.

Excidium00 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I don't like overclocking software either, all BIOS, all the time for me. Got a last validation for the night, 21x200, 1.312v at idle. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=803937 Gonna see what I can do in the upcoming weeks, should be fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack_patrol Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 ballist1x approves of you having balls and overclocking with bios. Awesome job, and once again great chip. I'm not sure if that kind of quality is common for this model but I guess you should consider yourself lucky if it isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excidium00 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Got a question for you guys in my quest for speed, when does one start to change the CPU PLL and/or the QPI/DRAM voltage? I've been leaving it on auto and was just curious as to whether changing those around a tad would net me any more stability? Trying to find more info on the subject atm as well.

I'm not sure if that kind of quality is common for this model but I guess you should consider yourself lucky if it isn't. I've messed with asus gene's software overclocking and it locks up so fast even if you have plenty of room. But yeah bios is the way to go.

IDK for cpu pll but you change the qpi and dram voltage when changing the rams speed/timings, you can't let the qpi be less than .5v lower than the dram (by that I mean keep them within .5v) Edited November 3, 2009 by xchrissypoox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
