I wanted to try Windows 7 but I missed the beta downloads

so I'm waiting for it to release, hopefully just a month or so now.

I have W7 installed, I do like it and will get it when it comes out.
Your bios flash would give a scare, good it all worked out.

Dan -- You'll want to read the X-Bit Labs review of a dozen or so high-end i7 coolers, for which I just put up a link on the home page and in the news forum. Be prepared for a bit of disappointment, though. But also note on page 16 of the review some interesting comments about flatness, cooler orientation, etc.

Regards,

Sir Skully · 03-26-2009, 04:49 PM

Thanks ctal, a good review on air coolers. The part that interest me was on page 16. About the flatness of the i7 heatspreader.

Sir Skully · 03-26-2009, 06:54 PM

OK, here's SuperPI @ 32m while oc'ed @ 4400mhz......

exc · 03-26-2009, 08:38 PM

*update*
Monsoon III LT came in today, ran everything at default settings for an hour after installing the HS Fan (pain in the astrics to install ) required the main board to be removed due to the backing plate mounting on the underside of the motherboard

( not going to be fun for future cleaning maintainence at all.

temps are much better 51, 47, 50, 49 after 1 hour of 100% load prime 95 at bios default settings

now I get to play some

Well congrats, yeah those are good temps for 100% load....

You going to do any oc'ing now?

exc · 03-26-2009, 09:44 PM

Hi sir Skully

Yes, I'm playing with it now, used your template from a few pages back just to see where my temps would go for that oc.
so far 100% prime 95 load for 30 minutes current temps are 62, 60, 55, 61
only thing different I did from your templet to my actual oc was I set the cpu voltage to 1.2 in turbo v
having a little issue tho. even at default settings core #3 stops work after about 10 minutes while the rest continue on. useing the Torture Test (Blended)
any thoughts?

Edit - Notice core #3 is at 55 while the rest of the cores are on average 5c higher?

Sir Skully · 03-26-2009, 09:57 PM

Hey EXC......

Maybe stuck heat sensor, Real Temp has a heat sensor test that you can run.

Sir Skully · 03-26-2009, 10:04 PM

Here's a link for Real Temp if ya don't have it...http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/...alTempBeta.zip

exc · 03-26-2009, 10:11 PM

Thanks Skully

I have real temp 3.0, that's where I was getting my temps from.
made a few voltage changes in TurboV, seems multiple cores are not likeing the oc yet. I'll have to play around in the bios some more but I don;t think it's temp related. temps never went over 62c full load.

exc · 03-26-2009, 10:18 PM

running Real Temp's temp sensor test now. Heat up Phase 90% done.

sensor test complete. looks like they are all good

That looks good, you're good to go......

had to make a few changes in the bios to make the errors go away that I was getting in Prime 95, it was definately memory related.
I'm holding the memory back on the overclock for now.

here are the settings I made that go with the above pics

AI overclock - manual
OC from CPU level up - auto
OC from Memory level up - auto
CPU Ratio setting - 21
CPU Turbo power Limit - enable

CPU configuration
CPU Ratio Setting - 21
C1E Support - disable
Hardware prefetcher - enable
Adjacent Cache line prefetcher - enable
Intel Virtualization tech - disabled
CPU TM Function - disable
Execute Disabled bit - enable
Intel HT Technology - disable
Active Processor Cores - all
A20M - disabled
Intel Speedstep tech - disable
Intel Turbo Mode tech - disabled
Intel C-STATE tech - disabled

BCLK frequency - 175
PCIE frequency - 100
DRAM frequency - DDR3 1403mhz
UCLK frequency - 2807

QPI frequency - auto

Dram timing control
1st iformation - 8,8,8,24 per my memory specs - rest at auto
2nd information - auto
3rd information - auto

EPU II phase control - full phase
Load-line calibration - auto
CPU differential amplitude - auto
Extreme OV - disabled

Current voltage
Cpu voltage - 1.19375
CPU PLL voltage - 1.81
QPI-Dram voltage - 1.3

Current voltage
IOH voltage - 1.11
IOH PCIE voltage - 1.51
ICH voltage- 1.11
ICH PCIE voltage - 1.51

Current voltage
DRAM Bus voltage - 1.65
DRAM REF voltage - all set to 0.mV

Debug mode - string
Keyboard TeakIt comtrol - disabled

CPU spread spectrum - disabled
PCIE spectrum - disabled
CPU clock skew - auto
IOH clock skew - auto

Now testing at

CPU Ratio setting - 21
BCLK frequency - 181
Cpu voltage - 1.2

DRAM frequency & UCLK frequency changed slightly but kept them very close to above until I find my cpu limit or temps that raise the hair on the back of my neck

Most of all, I would like to thank Sir Skully and Dan-Baer for all thier help, it has been very much appreciated

exc · 03-27-2009, 05:23 AM

here's the system at 3.8gig, temps are starting to get back up there again

might seriously consider water cooling if the temps don't come down after the AS-5 settles in.
I know I only let prime 95 run for a tad over 49 minutes but I think this cpu has more in it, cpu core voltage is only 2.5 here, I know there's headroom for more if it wasn't for the temps

anyway I guess I'll let it run at these settings for the rest of the morning and while I'm at work tomorrow, be a good burn-in session

chuckbam · 03-27-2009, 07:15 AM

I was running 21x 180 for a while (about 2 days). I needed a Vcore of 1.3v. As per my Sig, I need a Vcore of 1.25 for 3.6 Ghz. Maybe if I adjusted some of the other voltages I could run with a lower Vcore? All but DRAM v, is at Auto.

I want to stick with the 20x and I am happy at 3.6. But, if I could lower the CPU v that would be great. What do you think?
