i7-920 Finally Found a Golden one!

Current Setup:
Asus p6t-deluxe v2 w/ v1 bios
Patriot Extreme Memory 6GB
TRUE with push/pull noctua fans

Well, as you all know I have been going through i7-920's like cake here. So far, my max bclk on the different chips that I went through:
My first Newegg 920-C0 = max bclk 192
Second C0 bought locally = max bclk 202
MIAHALLENS Japanese D0 = max bclk 218
My latest Japanse D0!!! = max bclk 215

My latest arrivals to the D32 testing ground! lol


Prime Stable Settings:



216 X 21 - 4.54 GHz
vcore = 1.39
pll = 1.96
qpi = 1.35
dram = 1.65
ram - 9-9-9-24, 1T

HYPER THREADING ENABLED! 8 Threads baby!

So, I am pretty sure the bclk issue is both a combination of cpu and motherboard. I may try and use the EVGA classified to try and get a few more ponies out of this latest chip that I got my hands on. Let me tell you guys. I am prime, 3d, and bench stable at 4.54 GHz and 1.38 vcore. This latest chip is incredible and I have definitely come to the conclusion that if this puppy had an unlocked multi I would be 4.9 to 5.0 Ghz on air! PS- temperatures are identical on the new cpu, about 80 to 85*C load and 40 to 50*C idle.

Let the results come:





I have some really nice SuperPi32m results for you guys:



Raised NB clock and mem speed a hair. Shave a good 30 seconds off 32m:

Very nice! I'm loving the BCLK's peoples are getting out of these D0's

I think I'm definitely gonna have to get me one of them lol

very nice results bro i wish i had a d0

Why does it say i7 975? Is that just what it records i7 920 D0's as?

I'm likin' those numbers! Sure wish I could afford a nice new 1366 setup.

Futuremark reports as a 975 for some reason. Take a look at CPUZ, that displays 920, and the stepping. I have some really nice SuperPi32m results for you guys:

Your uncore is pretty slow man, only 2600MHz Crank that puppy up to at least 3600MHz

Prime Stable Settings:



216 X 21 - 4.54 GHz
vcore = 1.39
pll = 1.96
qpi = 1.35
dram = 1.65

Trying to get it there with the least amount of effort first bud.

Ah ok. Try running 20 passes of LinX to see if it's "stable" with the current voltages. As much as I hate the whole "stability" debate, I've found LinX to be a lot more efficent and faster then running P95 for hours on end

Than leave this discussion, you always have something negative to say in my threads. I have been OC'ing a long time my friend just like you. You dont have to continue talking to me in all my threads in a condescending fashion. Linx, prime, who cares? I am not trying to get into a debate with you. I am simply sharing my results with all 4 of the 920's that I have had in my possession over the last 2 weeks. I use the term stable loosely right now, as I have no overnight or hours of priming or using Linx for that matter at all. We have been using orthos and prime for many years now as a standard for stability testing so I am fine continuing to use them.

NOICE !

nice.. but maybe your board is holding back your bclk, try the cpus in another board like evga classified or dfi ut x58

• 1M = 9.328s
• 2M = 21.000s
• 4M = 46.422s
• 8M = 1min 42.750s
• 16M = 3min 45.782s
• 32M = 8min 11.859s

System:

• i7 920 3836A756
• EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
• DFI UT X58-T3EH8 04/28 beta
• 512MB Inno3D 8800GT OC Edition
• 6GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-20
• 750GB Samsung SATAII
• Silverstone OP1200 PSU
• Dual boot - WinXP Pro SP3 / Vista Ultimate 64Bit SP2

Nice, these D0s are really great.

NIce OC here Eva2000 !

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like 4.5GHz 8 thread stable before on air.

lol, P95 for hours? notice his prime stable gif is 4 minutes stable.

Since that chip has passed plaid speeds. [yeah spaceballs reference]
I am curious what bandwidth that setup is making available. Stock the i7 produces something like 25.6GB/s. If you passed 40GB/s. I would soil my pants. Even at 35GB/s, that would make my jaw drop.

whoa....4.5ghz...

is 80 degrees Load ok for i7s?
i know it's not that good for Core 2s, but what am i to say.

Nice work as always Dom!
