Core i7 920 @ 4 GHZ

This is out of topic but damn how close where you in taking those BIOS shots? I'm asking because those images of your BIOS are clean.
 
I was reading in a review of the msi eclipse they got 4.1ghz on air with a 920 with the following settings:

# Set the memory multiplier to "3" (actually 6)
# Set memory timing to 7-7-7-20-1T
# Fix PCI at 37.3MHz
# disable spread spectrum
# Enable EIST
# disable C-state
# Enable "Turbo" boost
# set base clock to 195MHz
# set QPI to Full-Speed
# leave it at 4.8GT

no changes in voltage, according to the article.. anyways.. I guess Kyle didn't have much luck with his eclipse, but the review above seems promising..
 
hey any of you guys running core i7 ~4ghz could you run this x264 benchmark and post the results? I mainly do x264 media encoding and i am just wondering what the speed will be....i've seen i7 @ 3.2 ghz in the anandtech review, but i would like to see scaling @ 4 ghz.

thanks... link...

awesome thank you...

here is a yorkfield at 4.0 ghz for comparison...

190 FSB
8:2 ram (using ddr 1600 sticks, gskill, 8-8-8-24)
36x QPI
16x uncore (THIS ONE WAS HUGELY IMPORTANT... going below a 16x multiplier made the system unstable above 3.5 GHZ!!! Don't ask me why).
Click to expand...

I can help with that one, the uncore MUST be set to twice or more than the memory multiplier. It won't like dropping below x16 on the uncore with a x8 memory multi.
 
So heres a request.
Could you load up a game of crysis or supcom at your max res and see how big a hit you take when recording video at full res/30fps? Its one of the things Im curious about. (with and without HT on would be awesome, but I dont really expect that)

I don;t have both of these games, i play C&C series or Video Editing. :)
 
Anaconda what is the name of the file of your wallpaper.....Cannot find it.... thanks


Also does Vista report the correct overclock speed in computer properties ?

Yes Vista Does report correct. I am at work i will send you the name later for the wallpaper.
 
cool, very informative thread, I wasn't going to overclock my 965(ES) chip when I get around to installing it next week but now I may have to reconsider...
 
I am running 4ghz with 1.27 - 1.28 vcore. Using 19 multiplier makes it alot more stable 4ghz and up while using alot less vcore.
