Mike is Fr3sh Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, what are some of the things you have overclocked on your pc? I got my i7 920 up to 4189.5mhz just on air! If i bumb the FSB to 215 I can get it to almost 4500mhz! I also got my GTX 285 OC to 705/1512/1300 but im still working on increasing the overclock some more.

KenjiFukui Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I don't need to overclock anything baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1ckkkkk Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Overclocked my q6600 my 8800 GTS and my mobo (Maximus II Formula) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) 4.5 on air? You would need an extreme air setup to pull that off. I disabled my other cards to get a very stable clock for you on my 285.

RetiredTacos Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 4.5ghz with a V8 CPU cooler? lol don't think so. Let's see your linpack or prime stress result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 4.1Ghz is very doable on air with a D0 i7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike is Fr3sh Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) haha i never said i can run prime95 with the FSB at 215. It usually always crashes. Edited June 1, 2010 by Mike is Fr3sh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 haha i never said i can play run prime95 with the FSB at 215. It usually always crashes. When it crashes it means it's going to lock up at high loads. It won't crash with CSS but it will for say, Bad Company 2. Use my template for your vid card and it'll be smooth.

Mike is Fr3sh Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 yeah I just did that. Thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 yeah I just did that. Thanks for that. Did ya test it in-game yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike is Fr3sh Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yeah I ran Metro 2033 and I didn't see any artifacts. I had to increase the fan speed a tad as it was getting a little hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yeah your rig is probably hot. I have the same case, except replaced the fans with the highest RPM's in the market. I have a constant idle around 25F, if A/C is on 21F. Did you get a side mount fan for the case yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike is Fr3sh Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yeah, but I have noticed that the filters decrease the air flow inside the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yeah, but I have noticed that the filters decrease the air flow inside the case. They only decrease if the filters get clogged. If you can, try making a duct that leads to a window and seal it. Have it easily detachable in case it's hot outside. Another option is to put your computer near the floor since it's cooler down there...and try to face it sideways so it's continually pushing hot air away from it to the other side of your room. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike is Fr3sh Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 I never thought of that. My pc always pushes the hot air through the back and straight at the wall. I have been thinking about rotating my V8 sideways so it will push the hot air from the CPU through the 200mm fan on top. I feel like that fan doesn't do shit.

That's how I have it...except I have 3 fans on my Noctua, 2 high rpm's pushing up and a lower rpm pushing it to the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 haha i never said i can run prime95 with the FSB at 215. It usually always crashes. cool.....i7 is beastin, my C0 runs at 4.0ghz without issue. I've seen D0's run at 4.2 on air all day, 4.5 is doable with a very well done air setup.

I plan to do a w/c setup soon to get 4.7-4.8 It'll be A LOT of troubleshooting lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike is Fr3sh Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Are you sure you can get up to 4.7 with w/c? I feel like you need a nitrogen cooled pc for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Are you sure you can get up to 4.7 with w/c? I feel like you need a nitrogen cooled pc for that. i7 975 has a smaller more powerful core. A 920 would def. need that setup but 4.7 has been done before with w/c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 i7 975 has a smaller more powerful core. A 920 would def. need that setup but 4.7 has been done before with w/c. The 975s are still bloomfields made with 45nm manufacturing technology. I don't see how it can be smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yes yes. Terry, which i7 are you rockin'? I plan to do a w/c setup soon to get 4.7-4.8 It'll be A LOT of troubleshooting lol I have the original 920 C0, got when it first came out, wish I had a D0 haha Are you sure you can get up to 4.7 with w/c? I feel like you need a nitrogen cooled pc for that. Yes you can run i7's at 4.7 on water. All i7's are bloomfield last i checked, only difference is what multiplier they use.

It's 45nm yes, but 975's have less transistors and smaller die sizes which is therefore smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) It's 45nm yes, but 975's have less transistors and smaller die sizes which is therefore smaller. It can't have a die shrink if its still 45nm technology. I was just looking it up to and it seems to have the same die size as all the others. Also less transistors usually means less performance. The i7 980x would have a smaller die. Edited June 1, 2010 by Sock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
