dam 700 bucks for an I7 build. Very nice

Liteninja · 08-15-2009, 10:39 PM

Just finished reading up on that overclocking guide, Sakumo, for i7.
It was actually plenty helpful, not all i have to do is hope that i don't screw over my components, trying to find the sweet spot

EDIT: Easily hit 3.4 ghz by bumping up the settings a bit. Its prime 95 stable too (all cores <70 celcius while the cpu's tempis around 54). Ima try and push it a bit more.

Did you do a vcore bump? I heard that the i7s can run ~3.6 on stock vcore.

I've heard intelburntest is a more reliable source of knowing your cpu is running stable, you'll need to run 10 tests or something like that.

Yeah i made it to 3.8ghz (somehow, lol)
I couldn't quite make it to 4.0, but i blame my crappy case and semi-mediocre mounting job for the cpu cooler.

Eitherway, im happy for the results, and hope its stable enough.

Ill look up intelburntest

Where did you hide all the wires from the power supply??? Is it modular?

Liteninja · 08-18-2009, 10:31 PM

Nope, none of the pc power and cooling powersupplies are not modular. Just a few cable ties and an empty drive bay(s) can work wonders you know. It still constructs airflow though, sadly.

Lol nice on the wiring dude!
I'm already guessing how my new build will look almost the same as my old one, full of chaos xD I only plug everything in and I'm done xD
