Cinebench 10 Intel I7 920 @ 4GHz on Xaser VI

[seetherfan1369]

does only the i7 have 8 threads or do you have yours set a specific way?

[treocin]

@seetherfan1369 i7 is with 4 cores and 8 threads out of the box,

[seetherfan1369]

@treocin what do the threads do exactly?

[treocin]

@seetherfan1369 well, if yo have 4 cores and each with extra virtual thread than your CPU works as 8 units where it can be used on several application without tremendous slow down. I give you example. Video rendering. More CPU you have better. However you need to be able also to allocate enough Ram for each process. PC with 2 or 4 physical CPU's are way faster than single CPU so this si the same thing.

@treocin I've got the AMD Phenom II 955 3.2ghz OC'd to 3.6ghz and it does video rendering pretty damn good for me so far. If i use more than one video editing program it will lag some cause it stresses the shit out of my CPU (converting avi to dvd and dvd to avi). Is there a way to get 8 available threads on my 955 or is it "as is"? just curious... thanks.

[treocin]

@seetherfan1369 man, that is done during manufacturing, you can't do anything with with what you have. If you AMD is 3 or 4 or 6 core chip that you have 3 4 6 cores if it says it has 8 10 then that's what you have you can only reduce the cores usage by disabling the virtual cores but you can't multiply it. That's just impossible. It's like putting VW Golg engine into F1 and go to Monza. You stay behind the safety car most likely.

can Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultima Water-Cooling Kit handle i7 920 on 4ghz safely

[treocin]

absolutely, the only change from the original tubing I put the the neoprene one but it's all perfect after running every single day since January 2008. Also, don't forget that I cool also MB on the Gigabyte board so my loop goes like reservoir to pump to NorthBridge then to radiator then to CPU and then to reservoir. Also all depends how hot is your room. Average coolent temperature is about 30-31 degrees Celsius average CPU under full load is about 69-71. I do have bunch of other fans in it

[treocin]

and now with the GTX 295 so the environment is way to hotter than what you have perhaps at home. I have 2 PC in one cabinet. Only one water cooled That creates tremendous amount of heat but even though it's still very stable and best of all after a year the swiftech coolant is still on same level as it was when I originally filled the reservoir in. I know there are better systems but this one is enough for me and I can recommend it to everyone one

[chevguy502]

you can only get 4 ghz on water?

[mhaneline]

I have the Swiftech H20-220 and it's amazing. 24 hours of Prime95 (running 8 copies one mapped to each core) of my i7 920 and I couldn't get the temperature to go above 41c non over-clocked. Once I overclocked to 4ghz the temp didn't go above 51c

Room temp: 25c

I can't say enough good things about Swiftech. Simply amazing.

[aerowinskthx]

Is 34C Idle good for 3.8Ghz?

My max is 66 under full load. I'm using a TRUE 120 Extreme, Tuniq TX-2 thermal paste, and a Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000 cpu fan.

[Hardscript]

yes.

[codejunki567]

ya its really good

[aerowinskthx]

Thanks bro. I'm adding you as a friend on Youtube :)

[ninjabeirut]

take it to 3.2 or 3.6, going to high just for true 120 extreme, recommended to 3.2

[aerowinskthx]

So... What you're saying is that something is wrong?

TRUE 120 Extreme should be cooler?

[chevguy502]

i can run 4.2 all day on that air cooler

[chorinicpker]

lol a true can handle 4.2

[chevguy502]

hahah yup you doing the same?

[chevguy502]

i can get 4.2 all day with that cooler dude i have been running for close to 5 months now no crashes ever i have the D0 stepping though

[escafallen]

ye thats pretty good. "scythe is overrated tho"

[paultje162]

Thats EXTREMELY GOOD!!!

[TheUnknownHarbingers]

hehe cute dog

[mag42987]

my God, that system is beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye

[treocin]

I wouldn't recommend running that processor hotter than 70c (occt/core temp) since your computer rooms ambient temperature will effect your CPU temperature as well. Staying at 70c or below will give you a safe buffer zone for hot days/temperature fluctuations. Unless you are in Southern Hemisphere you are entering spring summer season. So room is getting hotter. On the other hand You are not running CPU at 100 load all day. Try to put one more fan on noctua push pull effect see it its better.

[mahhor]

What CPU/Core Temps. can damage the CPU?

my idle CPU/Core = 44/55

Stressed = 54/75

Noctua SE1366 Fan

[sinjalas]

i think your volt is alitle to high mate you can get it ALOT lower nice rig i got i7 920 aswell

[treocin]

Well I wish man. Try all possible. Can't do it. even if I lower the frequency it's still jumps back to it original 2.66 by reset Now the machine runs like this for 4 months already no problem at all

[arvutihull]

very nice video! What was the score?(CB-CPU)

[treocin]

I'm not sure that time something like 22 800 but now I run the test and it is 23887 already with the 12 GB installed so I'm not sure if it helped or not but it is all very stable. I have the block at 197 Can't go higher

[atronix]

OK!!! II give you 5 STAR out of 5 STAR because THIS video KICKASS and YOu ROCK ok? OK 5 star!

[treocin]

thx

[treocin]

I couldn't use the TT TX flow plus with the swiftech clear tubing anyway. Even though it's 3/8 the OD is way bigger than the ring on the TX. I OC the minute it boot vista. I lowered the clock to 190 or so now and lowered the Vcore voltage. Some saying it shouldn't go over 1.35 but even gigabyte in their OC manual push it towards 4. That manual actually didn't work for me. But everything is stable. I will try to put more videos and photos soon It's hard to do since it is inside the cabinet

[G4LBlackHawk]

nice rig man!

[treocin]

thank you. You remember, I wanted the antec but then decided to go with xaser for more bays. Most of the stuff came on Thursday on 22, case, PSU mem etc. I had GPU, mobo came on Friday but it had resistor on the bottom of the box. So I called laggoom and next day had replacement. There is lot of modification on this because it was not fitting out of the box. Even the Tagan didn't want to go it. Pump and res it's absolutely nightmare. Since you have 5 HDD on front bottom where should be the pump

[treocin]

I put the norprene tubing. Since I didn't care about creating special lightning. Both PC's are inside cabinet so I can watch the coolant flow anyway. To put the norprenes on the barbs was such a pain and then fitting onto the pump oh. My fingers hurt until Wednesday this week. I tell you build one more like this and I'm ready for the shrink. The placement was the hardest thing. I had to put it above the HDD bay but I didn't want to drill the wholes into so I too a part all chassis from CD-ROM

[treocin]

take that u shape place it upside down, drill the hole so tu pump can sit on it and slide into the 3 5.25 bays. I also put one 120 fan in front of it as intake. Xaser has good air filters so there are 2 intake filters infront. Bottom one is Silverstone wired with the knob on the case and connected with one more silverstone that is sitting on the bottom in 45 degree angle to create air chamber and bring some air on the mobo and GPU. Another fan is just fit on the PCI plates it's 80 mm small fan

[treocin]

none of these are so far controlled by the NZXT. Only the silversones are connected to NZXT for correct readout but since the knob is doing its job and since they are 4 pin I can't do much about it. There is antec reg 3 pin right after the HDD bay also blowing partially on mobo and GPU. Controlled by sentry, one outake and 2 swifteks on the rad all controlled from sentry. The temp sensors are placed so when it goes to auto it reads roughly correct temp in the case.

[treocin]

Ok so I just increase the voltages and run 24 hour test and now running at 197 Mhz wih turbo on so that goes to 4137 and Cinebench runs around 36-37 seconds. ALL nortons and junk disabled. If on we are on 40 Secs. Which I disable anyway during my video and graphic work

[treocin]

I will post video of the rig soon probably during the weekend

[gheto]

nice 5/5

[treocin]

Thx
