CPU: Intel i7 920 (2.66MHZ 133x20)Bloomfield D0 Stepping=5
MB:Gigabyte EX58-UD3R SLI (Hyperthreading OFF,see why below)
RAM: 6GB VCOLOR (3x2GB) DDR3 Tri Channel Memory (667MHZ)
VC: Evga GTX 295 1792MB DDR3 CO-OP Edition
PSU: Corsair TX750W
OS: Windows Vista Home Edition 64bit
Hey guys, here's my new computer setup that i purchased over at Newegg.ca when they had really good deals on i7 920. 2 Weeks ago approx.
Anyways, I read online that the i7 920 is actually a nice cpu to overclock.
After playing around with the pc, slowly inceasing the Clock from 133 to 170. Anything higher than 170, i get BSOD in Windows. But on 170 BLCK, which is 3.573.95 MHZ (170x21) stable as rock.
Vcore: 1.088V-1.144V ( Lowered the Vcore to Lower CPU temperature. -10C )
Ambient Temp: 26C+
Idle Temp:52C
Full Load: 72C under Prime95
Hyperthreading: OFF ( Turned HT off to Lower CPU Temerature. -12C )
I kept this for last because I find this very surprising, and maybe hard to believe. Almost 1GIG of extra speed.... all on STOCK FAN from Intel... WOW!
And yes, I know If I get a better CPU fan, I can probably push it way more faster. But as of right now, I don't think I really need anything more than 3.5G, unless you are a speed freak.
Let me know what you guys think or post up ur results here to Compare
Also I don't have any Benchmark programs to test the PC with at the moment. But maybe in the nearest future I will.
