Home... again
just messing around with this, not really going for mega high clocks just playin :beer:

3.66 has been my 24/7 clocks undervolted cpu and mobo stock volts :p rock stable, these things are so great to game on even out of the box ...

Me you and brolloks have some serious proof that D0's are consistently pouncing on the C0's right now. Everyone take a look at the second screen shot. 1.18 vcore and 3.66 GHz. i dont think most of you realize how awesome and efficient that is! To get even 3.6 GHz the C0 would require MUCH more voltage!
 
Dang Rattle, who on earth would think one could run a quad, make that an 8 thread CPU, at 3.66 with only 1.17 v-core, nice work man...and kudos to Intel :)

I just went round my mates last week to overclock and play with his 920 C0, and ended up at 3.8Ghz HT on at around 1.24V. That isn't much worse, but it seems to be a strong C0 anyway. Air cooled, so I didn't push further as the temps would start to get higher and also he doesn't know much about overclocking in case something went wrong :p
 
LOL it actually loads at 1.12 fellas

looky here 3.8, over 8 hours prime blend using almost 5gb of ram loading out at 1.184 !

QPI is 1.22 here LMAO

anyone that says they are the same as c0 is either in denial or is plain FOS, look on XS amazing chips over there.

there are some nice C0's around that are good for sure, but how many would you have to buy and test to get one even close..

this mobo has bad droop, i seen 1.168 sometimes running linX, and my cpu freq fluctuates slightly. Is this normal for i7 mobos? thinking about trying the eVGA, I like this mobo though has been very painless and its stable as hell.

thanks all, i keep going up and prime blend custom with 4000mb and then I run 20 LinX with 3072 and then I game on it at least 12 hours.

my QPI is still 1.22, I see alot of high clocks but QPI is always so HIGHH

I'm more of a 24/7 usable OC'er than a bencher.

I'd like 4.0 on low volts but hell this thing was sweet out of the box, i'll probably just run it at 3.66 undervolted for a few months...

Unless he has a golden chip, I highly doubt it is 100% stable at that clockspeed and vcore. The only scenario I can imagine is if his clockspeed is 3.8, and his vcore is over 1.30v but he has Intel Cpu options such as TM, etc. enabled that lower voltage and clockspeed when the cores are idling otherwise I honestly dont think that rig is prime stable. Rattles D0 is astonishing compared to all "but the golden hafnium" C0's out there right now.
 
Rattle, lets see who can do 4 Ghz at 1.25 v or as close to that as possible...2 hrs OCCT blend, what you say ?
