where is diference ?\ only more expensive car940 but 920 can take overlock with new cooler and you have moore and bette monster with this coller Noctua NH-U12P SE1366
hi R3 can you do another video but showing how to overclock the 940 or point me to a guide that shows me how to do it. I have gigabyte ex58 with 940 cpu and air cooler would like a stable oc 3.8-4.0ghz cheers
Hey, I just made a video of me overclocking my I-7(920) using 2 freezers...one for the north/south bridge and the other for the i-7 CPU. Could you check it out and tell me what you think. Its called "Overclocking I-7(920) using two Freezers"
hi can you give or post what speeds you achieved with i7 940 and how fast you got it upto, i have the same mobo as you and am running cooling on air thanks
Hello guys, I just made a video of me overclocking my I7(920) using 2 freezers.I've never see anybody try this before so i just thought i would.Please check it out. Its called"Overclocking I-7(920) using two Freezers" Please leave a nice comment if you don't mind and rate it. Thanks fellas.
lol, you have not figured it out yet? We are all weirdos in one way or another. I know a painter that makes every house look great but his own. Some people own a corvette but have a crappy computer. Some have a good computer but a crappy cell phone camera. Its just the way it is deal with it.
What will happen if i change only BCLK frequency to 200, and leave everything else on default? The BCLK frequency should give me 4 ghz core speed isnt it?
I tried using EZ OC on my mobo to overclock to 3.7. now I'm going to try it manually to 4 :) I am using a dark knight instead of liquid though. I have a D0 so hopefully i will not need voltages that high... is that chip a D0?
where do people get the money to buy expensive hardware just for experiments that have been done numerious times. Can you almost convince companies to give you hardware to test if you have enough subscribers as proof you can help with advertisement?
very nice, but one more question... in your opinion what would be a good air cooling fan & heatsink for OCing around 3.5-3.8GHz. i am looking at the Katana 3 (Scythe SCKTN-3000), i just dont know if it is adequate for the 920?
I have just 1 question, how did you make that you have no post screen on your motherboard, it goes straight from your motherboard picture to loading windows? Please answer, im gratefull.
Im not sure exactly hat the settin is called but in the bios you will find something like quick boot and full screen logo have a mess around with some of those
the mobo pic is show while post screen is in the background! turn off the full screen logo and you will see the post screen! it does it on my x58 extreme too
well here is an idea for you ...... Dont fucking watch our vids pal what is it with you trolls all you talk is shite how about you just get back on bebo and pretend you are popular .
Please dont compare the brummie accent to a scouse one, yes we all know the brummie accent is pretty bad.
And where are you from by the way, southern monkey by any chance?
Really, dont be a dick and slag somebodys accent off when all they are doing is putting an informative video up for the good of everyone wanting to buy this particular processor.
Dude your Awesome only vid i seen with gigabyte Extreme board same i use for all my systems, The O/c utility sucks for vista 64bit. Keep it up put some more videos with Better quality and subtitles and your on your way i will subscribe to your post first ever for me Good looking out.
Im from Austrlia, but love the accent man! Reminds me of good friends I have from your part of the world :) Thanks for the vid, very informative, I've been hesitatnt to overclock my 920, but will do it tomorrow!
Overclocking does void the warrenty but if the chip failed, i wouldnt tell them that i had overclocked it and they arent gonna spend money taking it a part to check wether i did way to much hassle for them.
do you mean stable as in stable temperatures or as in system stability. Because I want to know, would it be possible to overclock it to 4GHz with water cooling?
the xeons have locked memory multipliers though so you are forced to run at 1333mhz and the xeon is a lot more expensive for the 2.66ghz one its nearly 500 quid i think. THe 920 d0 is an aboslute bargain at 250
It will shorten the lifetime but not to a matter of months or something like that, maybe if you say the chip has a lifetime of 10 years it may last only 7 years i dont know about you but i only keep ,my cpus less than a year anyway
The 39 seconds on bench can be lower witha lower clock. If you dont get the voltages in a happy place it runs slower. At a 3.9ghz oc i had the bench run in 37 seconds. I have a 4.2 oc now and im at 38 seconds so i need to tweak the voltage more.
whats the highest (Ghz wise) you could go on the 920, without changing the stock voltage?? Oh, and if i were to overclock to 3.6 Ghz, what voltage do you recomend?? thx
You can oc the 920 to 4 very easy on air. The big problem is the voltage that you give it. The more volts the higher the temp. I have mine set to 200x21 for a 4.2ghz oc on air at a stable 80c
yea i wont run it at that during the summer months. I can run it at 4.0 well a bit over that at 73c under load so that will be what i will run the system at.
still 73:\ i get like 45c full load but hey im using amd atm, i thought the i7 would be not as hot tbh, im buying 1 next week and the p6t delux. so ill get back to u with my temps :)
well the AMD's run cooler then the intells. Also the i7 run very hot since they have the mem controller on the die. This reduces heat on the nb but causes the processor to be a lot hotter. So the 73c on full load at 4ghz for 4 hours is great on air.
I am using the dark night. The stock cooler can hit about 3.2 or so with a decent temp. My office is very hot and its very hard to keep the temp at a decent temp. I have three desktop systems running 100% of the time and multiple laptops. I also have a nas and a file server in that room. Avg temp in the room even winter is about 80f. Now my system running a quad core with a nirvana 120 cooler at 4.4 ghz runs at about 61c.
since u got a i7 you got any idea y i get bad framerates in gta iv about 44 30's not 50 60 etc all max settings it should be able to get more fps ii got a 285 gtx black edition and 3 gb 1600 mhz corsair dominator ram what fps u think its normal to get?
Sounds normal to me i get the same with 3 gtx 285's people keep saying sli is supporteed but i seeing no evidence of that i get the same fra,mes with 1 card as i get with 2 or 3. Unfortunatly its just one of those games that run like shit.
i will use the stock fan now a extreme cooler i wanna overclock it just a little bit stable and safe so it can play gta iv can i make it reach 3 ghz safe and stable no over hetaing issue or reuce lifetime thnx
excellent stuff man, learning a lot ... I like the fact that you reply with good answers stuffed w/info...I'm sold..SUBSCRIBED!!...look forward to more vids from you.
Or you could just go into the bios and change the Bclk to 150 then cange the cpu v core to 1.3v that will give you 3.150GHz if it boots and you have no probs then you can go back into the bios and maybe set v core to 1.29v and keep repeating this process. If it does happen to blue screen just reset and go again maybe adding a little more voltage blue screens wont do any damage to your pc. Baicaslly thats all id play around with to start,the bclk and the vcore.
i mean, what have you changed in the bios? just base clock and v core too and everything else auto? obviously you gotta make sure your ram timings/volts are the same as they're supposed to be as normal.
Thats worth checking you are right as it will probably be 1.5v as stock but the ram wont be running at the correct speed so you could leave that but i personally run it at 1.65 no matter what just so i can rulke that out if i get instability
I have changed every setting, but if you just want to start ocing with i7 you could just use what i said in the last comment bclk and vcore, obviously at some point you will hit a wall and other settings will need tweaking but you are best to read up on what the settings do before messing, its difficult if not impossible for me to right up that sort of stuff on here, but the vid shows a very basic guide on what to do.
dependinbg on what mobo you have there a few things you can do to get a basic oc first just by enbabling turbop mode that will give you nearly 2.9ghz.
ON the gigabyte mobos it comes woith some software easy tune 6 theres an option on there called Quick boost, by clicking a button you can select 2.8ghz 3.0GHz or 3.2GHz as easy as that. Asus have there versions of this aswell as msi and probably most others. You could run 3 to 3.2GHz with no worries on the stock fan.
Im water cooling it with an xspc delta pretty much all the water blocks out will do the job some are better than others but the difference is really only a few degrees C between them The koolance cpu 345 and 350 are both good also the apogee gtz. If you are referning to a fan and heats ink i really couldnt recommend any as ive never used one but people seem to like the thermalrite 120 or that big bastard the coolermaster v12.
you can just change the base clock and cpu voltage thats it if you wanted it to be really easy, just leave everything else on auto as you start learning more you could start changing a few other settings, but as i said you could in theory just change the bclk and v core infact you could even leave vcore on auto for the easiest and most basic oc ever, but you would hit a wall in terms of how far it would oc then you would need to start adding v core.
I used water cooling, i wouldnt advice 4ghz on air cooled i7. There are a few tuts out there that explain what each setting actually is which is a good idea to know what you are changing but really you could just copy the setting i use in this video to reach the same speed. If you didnt want to go quite as high, then let me know what sort of clock speed you want and i could suggest some settings.
yea its easy did you ever overclock a core 2 or an fsb based chip?
If so just think of the bclk as your fsb by raising that number you will increase the clock speed of the cpu. QPI you can just leave on auto if you want or select the lowest setting that is allows which is what auto will do anyway, so really you could actually leaver all settings on auto add some bclk and vcore voltage if needed, just to start off with. Then as you learn more you can think about changing the other settings.
at stock its 4.8. Im running 200blck x36 which is the stock multiplier, for the qpi. It does show 4.8 at first but if you watch at 3:02 when i switch to 200 blck you see it change to 7.2
The 7.2 is the qpi link speed not the cpu frequency, peopel said before and after release that the 920 and 940 wouldnt overclock because the qpi link speed will top out at 4.8 so they said go for the 965 as its capable of 6.4gt but as you can see i have mine running at 7.2 so the qpi isnt really a limiting factor for people with water cooling or air cooling.
yea that seems about right to me the chips do run hotter than the core 2 chips. Did you ever use the stock fan? if so did you notice a difference in the temps when you switched to the monsoon?

Not important!!!
I think Intel guarantees 10yrs of permanent runtime at stock stettings. (=87600 hours)
Let's say a higher clock (3.5GHz for instance) would reduce the total runtime by 75%.
That still 21900 hours...
And let's say you have zero real life and play 8 hours every day. That would be 2737 days (7.5 years) of basement fun.
More than enough I'd say.

My 920 does 4.2 ghz @ 1.28v :) Love my chip. Ppl with som IQ feel free to contact me. Newbies - don't.

The 39 seconds on bench can be lower witha lower clock. If you dont get the voltages in a happy place it runs slower. At a 3.9ghz oc i had the bench run in 37 seconds. I have a 4.2 oc now and im at 38 seconds so i need to tweak the voltage more.

what CPU cooler are you using to get the 920 to 4Ghz??
thx
ludog014 3 years ago
Im using an xspc delta water block with a quad koolance rad and shroud, i wouldnt recomend 4ghz with air cooling well at leat no the stock cooling.
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
whats the highest (Ghz wise) you could go on the 920, without changing the stock voltage?? Oh, and if i were to overclock to 3.6 Ghz, what voltage do you recomend?? thx
ludog014 3 years ago
You can oc the 920 to 4 very easy on air. The big problem is the voltage that you give it. The more volts the higher the temp. I have mine set to 200x21 for a 4.2ghz oc on air at a stable 80c
latticelinux 3 years ago
80c:\ i would go lower if i was u lol
nathanlovespie 3 years ago
yea i wont run it at that during the summer months. I can run it at 4.0 well a bit over that at 73c under load so that will be what i will run the system at.
latticelinux 3 years ago
still 73:\ i get like 45c full load but hey im using amd atm, i thought the i7 would be not as hot tbh, im buying 1 next week and the p6t delux. so ill get back to u with my temps :)
nathanlovespie 3 years ago
well the AMD's run cooler then the intells. Also the i7 run very hot since they have the mem controller on the die. This reduces heat on the nb but causes the processor to be a lot hotter. So the 73c on full load at 4ghz for 4 hours is great on air.
latticelinux 3 years ago
ya thats tru, is it the standard heatsink that came with the i7? or u using a aftermarket 1?
nathanlovespie 3 years ago
I am using the dark night. The stock cooler can hit about 3.2 or so with a decent temp. My office is very hot and its very hard to keep the temp at a decent temp. I have three desktop systems running 100% of the time and multiple laptops. I also have a nas and a file server in that room. Avg temp in the room even winter is about 80f. Now my system running a quad core with a nirvana 120 cooler at 4.4 ghz runs at about 61c.

since u got a i7 you got any idea y i get bad framerates in gta iv about 44 30's not 50 60 etc all max settings it should be able to get more fps ii got a 285 gtx black edition and 3 gb 1600 mhz corsair dominator ram what fps u think its normal to get?
taltigolt 3 years ago
Sounds normal to me i get the same with 3 gtx 285's people keep saying sli is supporteed but i seeing no evidence of that i get the same fra,mes with 1 card as i get with 2 or 3. Unfortunatly its just one of those games that run like shit.

so you mean i will not reach about 50 60 fps since i feel lagg under 50 what if i overclock if so how on stock intel cooler thnx
taltigolt 3 years ago
Overclocking the cpu will help which cpu and which motherboard do you have?
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
ASUS P6T deluxe motherboard
intel core i7 920 cpu
i will use the stock fan now a extreme cooler i wanna overclock it just a little bit stable and safe so it can play gta iv can i make it reach 3 ghz safe and stable no over hetaing issue or reuce lifetime thnx
taltigolt 3 years ago
just so u got it right i use stock cooler nothing else

excellent stuff man, learning a lot ... I like the fact that you reply with good answers stuffed w/info...I'm sold..SUBSCRIBED!!...look forward to more vids from you.
bobo182025 3 years ago
Or you could just go into the bios and change the Bclk to 150 then cange the cpu v core to 1.3v that will give you 3.150GHz if it boots and you have no probs then you can go back into the bios and maybe set v core to 1.29v and keep repeating this process. If it does happen to blue screen just reset and go again maybe adding a little more voltage blue screens wont do any damage to your pc. Baicaslly thats all id play around with to start,the bclk and the vcore.
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
i mean, what have you changed in the bios? just base clock and v core too and everything else auto? obviously you gotta make sure your ram timings/volts are the same as they're supposed to be as normal.
RKOver17 3 years ago
Thats worth checking you are right as it will probably be 1.5v as stock but the ram wont be running at the correct speed so you could leave that but i personally run it at 1.65 no matter what just so i can rulke that out if i get instability
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
I have changed every setting, but if you just want to start ocing with i7 you could just use what i said in the last comment bclk and vcore, obviously at some point you will hit a wall and other settings will need tweaking but you are best to read up on what the settings do before messing, its difficult if not impossible for me to right up that sort of stuff on here, but the vid shows a very basic guide on what to do.
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
dependinbg on what mobo you have there a few things you can do to get a basic oc first just by enbabling turbop mode that will give you nearly 2.9ghz.
ON the gigabyte mobos it comes woith some software easy tune 6 theres an option on there called Quick boost, by clicking a button you can select 2.8ghz 3.0GHz or 3.2GHz as easy as that. Asus have there versions of this aswell as msi and probably most others. You could run 3 to 3.2GHz with no worries on the stock fan.
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
What cpu heatsink are you using, and what do you recomend if i were to get the 920, and overclock to 4.00 Ghz for it to be stable
ludog014 3 years ago
Im water cooling it with an xspc delta pretty much all the water blocks out will do the job some are better than others but the difference is really only a few degrees C between them The koolance cpu 345 and 350 are both good also the apogee gtz. If you are referning to a fan and heats ink i really couldnt recommend any as ive never used one but people seem to like the thermalrite 120 or that big bastard the coolermaster v12.
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
what other settings need to be adjusted apart from the base clock and QPI?
RKOver17 3 years ago
you can just change the base clock and cpu voltage thats it if you wanted it to be really easy, just leave everything else on auto as you start learning more you could start changing a few other settings, but as i said you could in theory just change the bclk and v core infact you could even leave vcore on auto for the easiest and most basic oc ever, but you would hit a wall in terms of how far it would oc then you would need to start adding v core.
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
I used water cooling, i wouldnt advice 4ghz on air cooled i7. There are a few tuts out there that explain what each setting actually is which is a good idea to know what you are changing but really you could just copy the setting i use in this video to reach the same speed. If you didnt want to go quite as high, then let me know what sort of clock speed you want and i could suggest some settings.
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
is overclocking the core i7 920 easy? i don't understand all the baseclock and qpi and all that shit yet.
RKOver17 3 years ago
yea its easy did you ever overclock a core 2 or an fsb based chip?
If so just think of the bclk as your fsb by raising that number you will increase the clock speed of the cpu. QPI you can just leave on auto if you want or select the lowest setting that is allows which is what auto will do anyway, so really you could actually leaver all settings on auto add some bclk and vcore voltage if needed, just to start off with. Then as you learn more you can think about changing the other settings.
R3APERvsTYETREE 3 years ago
Reaper u dont need 2 go crazy on the northbridge...i believe ur running at 4.8gt/s so id leave that on auto....
Sh0ski 3 years ago
Hey man its actually running at 7.2
at stock its 4.8. Im running 200blck x36 which is the stock multiplier, for the qpi. It does show 4.8 at first but if you watch at 3:02 when i switch to 200 blck you see it change to 7.2

Is it true motherboards DDR3 only support up to 1333MHz frequency ram? Why do they sell 1600MHz DDR3 then?
marcg11 3 years ago
No thats not true some motherboards list only 1333mhz but they will all run 1600 1866 and 2000+

Why does it say 7.2GHz When he says its 4.2GHz can someone explain please :)
BassOverload 3 years ago
The 7.2 is the qpi link speed not the cpu frequency, peopel said before and after release that the 920 and 940 wouldnt overclock because the qpi link speed will top out at 4.8 so they said go for the 965 as its capable of 6.4gt but as you can see i have mine running at 7.2 so the qpi isnt really a limiting factor for people with water cooling or air cooling.

My 920 at stock speeds idles at 38C with a Vigor Monsoon III LT. This seem right?
Sabiancym 3 years ago
yea that seems about right to me the chips do run hotter than the core 2 chips. Did you ever use the stock fan? if so did you notice a difference in the temps when you switched to the monsoon?
