Pitbull3 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 CPU: i7 920 @ 4.2GHz // CPU Cooling: Corsair H50 // RAM: 12GB Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz (OC'd: 2000MHz) // CASE: Cooler Master Haf 932 (Custom Black Paint Inside) // Lighting: 4x 12" Red Cold Cathodes, 2x 4" Red Cold Cathodes // HDD(s): Segate 1TB x2, Seagate 500GB x1 // Graphics Card: XFX 260GTX Maxcore 216 Stream Processors // Motherboard: ASUS P6T (The Original XD ) // Fans: 12x 2000RPM (120CFM) Scythe Slipstream 120mm // Fan Controller: Zalman 6 fan controller // OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 // PSU: Corsair 850W // Surround Sound: Logitech Z-5500 // Mouse: Razer Mamba // Keyboard: Saitek II Eclipse // Mousepad: Steel Series SX // Monitor: LG 22" Flatron W2253TQ (50000:1) // Headset: Logitech G35// Chair: Comfortable XD The Above are my specs, the reason I'm asking is that there are a lot of posts about the i7 920 with C0 stepping that its unstable past 3.8GHz, but Ive gotten mine steady to 4.2GHz with intel burn test for 48 hours, what I'm asking is if there are any i7 over-clockers that have edged past that 4.2GHz to post here with some tips either mobo tweaks or upgrades that you have done or just simple bios tweaking that has worked for you so that I may test it out. Watercooling with the Coolermaster H50 with 2x 2000rpm (120 CFM) fans keeping it around 19c idle, 25c max, just throw your information this way I appreciate it and ill definitely use it (if it works)!

El_Capitan Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Hmm... 1. A troll 2. A magic i7 920 C0 @4.2GHz and a supercooled H50 at 19C idle and 25C max 3. A soon-to-be-dead CPU from bad temp readings In case you're not #1... What's your CPU Vcore on that magic i7 920 C0? What type of Intel Burn Tests did you run? Did you run Prime95 Blend Tests? How are you measuring your core temps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull3 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 well im not a troll, I have an AC window unit next to my machine for OC testing and added cooling. im at my work pc right now but I have used intel burn test, and prime95 to stress everything other than hdd's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, what your Vcore is, and how you're measuring your core temps is a must know. You either have a magic i7 920 C0 CPU, or you're on the verge of burning up that CPU if you're reading your core temps wrong. I could have my computer next to an AC unit, but high core voltage would still spike high temps into the 70C's... and I have a way better cooling solution than an H50.

Pitbull3 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) I have a few photobucket pics for you. minus the ac unit this was before i got my 12 gb of ram, I only have 6 in the picture (newegg has my other RMA'd 6gb currently), but I will post more pics tonight. remember these pics are like... 5 months old! http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j11/pitbull3_2006/006-2.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j11/pitbull3_2006/008-1.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j11/pitbull3_2006/002-7.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j11/pitbull3_2006/003-4.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j11/pitbull3_2006/003.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j11/pitbull3_2006/014.jpg ive added fans and changed the ram and done more cable management, so the above pictures are a little askew Edited November 9, 2010 by Pitbull3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nice, btw! I'm talking about a screenshot of a full round of Prime95, then 10 iterations of Intel Burn Test, with CPU-Z opened, and Real Temp to see your current/min/max temps. Real Temp should be opened before you run your tests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull3 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) wow now I feel like a dope a dope.. lol!, I'm at 3.8 to 4.0 because i got tired of random bluescreens that are happening in scenerios of playing games, idk why it would do that mid video-game and not buring a test phase.
