Core i7 920

[123willway]

Thanks for your reply. I need a cooler that will not interfere with memory slots and allow the tray to fold out. Not easy to find, stock cooler is not going to be able to handle what I will be doing, the case is on the floor next to me now thanks to Newegg. No wild overclocking, but a lot of video editing and conversion. Not into gaming. Great video!

Thanks

I need to know if the motherboard tray will fold out with the cooler mounted. New build will be this case, i52500k and Asus p8p67 deluxe motherboard, 16gb crucial, Seasonic X650 gold full modular power supply. Just now ordering parts and the tray will have to open with cooler mounted for my application. It will be used mainly for video editing.

Great vid, thanks

@123willway WIth the cooler I have installed in this machine it barely will not clear to open the mobo tray. This is a large cooler, so others may work fine.

you must do cable management...for better air circulation.

@muhendisane Full load overclocked to 3.4 GHz results in 50-55 C. Chilly compared to stock cooler. This case is small and there is no where else to route cables. The one sticking out is a fan on the door, pulls out when door is removed.

i see different opinions about which way to face this up or outwards... im starting to think its just preference.

what do you mean?

[SrtRacerBoy]

whats your 3dmark 06/vantage scores with this?

[Peetah16]

is that Western Digital Caviar Black of yours loud?

[sda3]

I haven't noticed it over the fans, and they are not real loud.

[westman91]

Isn´t the i7 920 codenamed "Bloomfield"?

[sda3]

Yes, it is codenamed Bloomfield, the architecture is Nehalem.

[RabelistaStudioscom]

whats your baseclock and multiplier

[sda3]

I have it set at 172 Mhz and the multiplier is locked so it is at 20, 21 with turbo mode on for 3.612 GHz

i heard that power supply can ruin the CPU, Motherboard

[sda3]

how so? Can you send me a link to an article? Its been running strong for 4 months now with no issues and has plenty of power reserves.

hey wat temps do u get on load and idle and can u overclock to 4Ghz and tell me the temps plz

[sda3]

set at 3.6 Ghz the absolute highest I have seen the temps go at full load is 65c. At idle it is in the low 40s. I have seen people overclock to 4ghz but the temps are too high on air so I won't be testing that.

[raruenify]

You should be able to push it to 4.2GHz

[Falseproph3t]

I have the same cpu and mobo.How do i do a standard overclock like yours?

[sda3]

The easiest way is to just change the reference clock speed from 133MHz to whatever you can get it to be stable at. You can get a lot out of it that way. You can also change voltages and things to get more, but just start with that clock speed first.

Nice, I have core 2 quad 9550 and I want build another new build i7 but I think I should wait for another few years.

[EBA170]

[kewie727]

nice vid mate and pc check mine out! rated 5*

[sda3]

Cool, thx. Good stuff. I have it overclocked to 3.6 Ghz now, the cinebench is over 20k now. Ill post that at some point. I also put the RC of windows 7 on it. I think that build is slower than 7077 was.
