My forum trolling has paid off.

I have FINALLY found the GOSU voltages to push past 3.5 Ghz to 3.8...

Internets be praised.

What is surprising is that I was able to push the Corsair XMS3 to 1600 MHz to achieve this result.
I KNEW that the RAM was the keep-back here.

On to 4 GHz perhaps.....?

So what voltages did you end up using? Interesting that you were able to achieve such a high clock. Most places I read they say 195 is max stable. Are you stable at those settings btw?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #302 on:** March 26, 2009, 11:03:00 PM »

Well...i was able to reach 3.9 GHz, and do a benchmark.

As for stability...not sure. Linpack will determine that.

Mr. Arcman, I don't like you anymore.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #304 on:** March 26, 2009, 11:24:08 PM »

LOL.....aw c'mon, don't be like that.

Linpack bitch-slap my 3.9 GHz yes. BSOD after about 5 seconds.
So that definitely not stable, but I not fighting up with that.

I am happy with 3.8 GHz.

I have already conferred with arcman on the level this score has achieved. A picture says a thousand words.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #306 on:** March 27, 2009, 11:07:21 PM »

Good God. Giwwe some vantage too for good measure nah.

Kraeoss · « **Reply #307 on:** March 28, 2009, 08:25:53 AM »

OC.net and AT lol some bess tweaks tho the 920 seems to stay around 3.8 for most

Arcmanov · « **Reply #308 on:** April 01, 2009, 11:10:51 PM »

Vantage benchies as requested...

Performance

High

Well, as you can see, even at 3.8 GHz this i7 920/X58 rig still outshines the Q9650/P45 rig at 4 GHz. Simply amazing.

I wont be giving this one up for a WHILE.

F@#K YEA !!! lol sorry got carried away there.. well i guess 8 threads stomps on 4 right....

The Captain always brings out the 'best' in me...

Now take yer grubby hands off da crown.

...and take a gander at this...

LinX does not lie. ROCK solid at 4 GHz.

Damn reign didnt even last the night. I'll se what I can do about that...

Good Job mengz.

...and just when I done spend mih money, along comes a newer i7 with a newer stepping.

Its the same scenario as the Q6600 B3/G0 revisions. The newer D0 stepping runs at a lower default voltage, which immediately translates into better overclocking
capability.

Where the C0 reached 4 GHz with substantial tweaking, the D0 can EXCEED 4.3 GHz. Got-DAMN!!!

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #317 on:** April 07, 2009, 09:46:55 PM »

But remember this is in only the most ideal of circumstances. Still, this is a nice little upgrade.

Netizen1 · « **Reply #318 on:** April 08, 2009, 12:34:46 PM »

Wait nah, is Vista versus Windows 7???

Arc - Vista
Cap - Win7 (beta build 7000)

Arc, what you attribute the extra 119 points to?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #319 on:** April 08, 2009, 01:43:31 PM »

The difference might be due to the nice lil OC I put on the GPU(s).
The HD4870X2 is essentially CrossfireX on a stick, and it will always be more efficient
than 2 actual HD4870 cards in CrossfireX, hence the slightly extra winnage.
