I've been playing with a Core i7

[Nicckko]

Hello people,

 

During the past days I was bored waiting to begin my new work, so I have been playing with my Computer.

 

To cool my CPU I'm using the Corsair H50, which so far I'm loving it in dual fan push/pull configuration exhausting air from my case (opposite as Corsair suggests, I tested both configurations and this one produced the best results so far). Also, I switched my video card to the lower PCI Express slot. Finally, :angry2: I brutally modified my stock intel cpu fan, attached it to the tubes of the h50 to cool the Northridge, runs like a pan without cooling 60 C +.

 

My current setup is the following:

 

Asus Rampage II Gene

Core i7 920 / 4.01 GHz 1.25 v

Corsair H50 dual push/pull exhaust fans

Patriot Gamer Series 6GB DDR3 1600 MHz / 1690 MHz

Sapphire HD 5770 1GB GDDR5

2 x Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 500 GB SATA (Raid 0)

CoolMax 600 W

Cooler Master Storm Scout

 

 

 

So far I have managed to get an stable 4.01 GHz overclock, with the following settings:

 

 

 

 

Somehow my motherboard or processor loves the 19 x multiplier, requiring less voltage than a 20 x multiplier ... for 20 x 200 i need 1.26 Vcore and QPI

 

 

 

 

Few stability tests, both on max memory usage, it was completly stable in OCCT on both CPU:OCCT and CPU:LINPACK during 1 hour:

 

 

 

 

I will run some oldschool Prime95 during the following nights to be safe

 

Here goes the machine under load to check the load line calibration:

 

 

 

Few benchmarks:

 

 

 

 

Well that is all for now, feel free to comment ... I am planning to use this 24/7, what do you think ??
