If anyone was holding off on one of these this is as good as it gets. Upgraded Patriot Viper memory over the OCZ Gold normally offered, reduced price to just £539.99 inc VAT and a free copy of the hit PC game World in Conflict. For a package that out performs the 975 CPU for considerably less cost with a full 12 months warranty...

*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.00GHz / Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58 Motherboard / Patriot Viper 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz DDR3 Bundle + World in Conflict Game

Hi, this sound a great bargain deal, but where can I save all the o/c profiles to ? Can I save it to flash memory just in case if the gigabyte motherboard reset the bios and all the o/c profiles will be gone !

Have you try the best motherbard biostar T-power instead of gigabyte ? I would go for biostar motherboard instead because it the best and easy o/c.

I used to have gigabyte but I will never go for this board ever again because this board is pretty poor on o/c.

Is there any chance for Overclockers to use biostar T-power instead ?

We have used Biostar boards and they cannot consistently hit 4.00GHz, you get good and bad ones. We would not be able to offer a bundle based on the Biostar clocked above about 3.40GHz.

No idea how you can call a Gigabyte motherboard that hits 4.00GHz everytime without fail a bad overclocker....
 
I want one of theeesseee!!! :D

Too bad I has no monies! Although just out on interest would it be possible to swap the RAM for this? adding the extra price obviously?

Or better question: Would there be much difference in real world performance switching to that ram?

We could swap this over however there would be no performance increase with the settings we run to hit 4.00GHz.

It's really great to see you guys aren't trying to pedal something more expensive with claims of performance.
:) Well if this deal exists by christmas or something similar count me in :D
 
I've never had anything overclocked before. Am I right in thinking the overclock is only used when needed, ie, games\video encoding and the like? For normal stuff it just runs, er, normally.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Intel speed step makes you processor run at a lower speed, and then its ramped up when needed, so as you said. It is only at 4GHz when under load or in use if you get me.
 
It won't run at stock when encoding etc, but it will run a lot cooler than the full overclock.

Basically AMD and intel both use the multiplier to reduce the clock speed for speedstep or cool'n'quiet. AMD reduces to 4x/8x from whatever it's normally at (stock/200) and intel generally reduce it to 6x from whatever stock is (varies, but often 9x or 10x - different on i7)

As you may know, the CPU speed is the multiplier, multiplied by (duh) some sort of bus/base clock. Intel call it the Front Side Bus or the BCLK, AMD call it the HTT link - but in essence it's about how fast other parts of the computer can communicate with the CPU.

If you overclock with the multiplier (extreme/black editions) your coolnquiet/speedstep will revert to exactly the same reduced speed at stock, because the clock speed doesn't change. If you overclock with the bus (any other version of CPU, and can be used with extreme/black edition) then you're underclock provided by speedstep/cool n quiet will not reduce by quite as much. It will reduce, but not quite so far.

A quick example (fictitious) CPU has a clock speed of 200mHz and multiplier of x10, giving a total speed of 2gHz

It's speedstep/cool n quiet shall, for the sake of arguement, reduce to x5, giving 1gHz at stock.

If you overclock to double the speed using the bus, you get 400 and x10 = 4gHz, but when EIST or CnQ kicks in your clock reduces to 400 and x5 (the 400 we changed it to, and the x5 from earlier) giving a reduced speed of 2gHz.

If you overclock the same double using the multiplier, you get 200 and x20 = 4gHz - however, when EIST or CnQ kicks in this time the multiplier still goes all the way back down, giving 200 and x5 = 1gHz still.

Hopefully that makes sense, and you can see how using the bus vs multiplier effects your power saving.
 
Great explanation Audigex, much better than I could ever have said myself.

Glad you agree, of course if you really wanted to buy the considerably higher priced memory for this bundle we would happily change it over for you. :D

agreed entirely

4ghz is nothing when you look at what the dominator GT is capable of

it is benchmarking memory and a flagship part

for it to sit at 4ghz and at its rated speed - it would be a crime :D
 
hits 75 under 24 hours of prime in an antec 902

it depends on your case really but can operate at 100'c under a box taped to the desk for 6 hours

[thats how we tested the original prototype]

Lol...

Hi guys...this be my first post :)

I ordered one of these kits last night, looked too nice not to. :D

Would the overclock on this not shorten the CPU lifespan, or are these cpu's safe to run at this speed for a couple of years?

We are running them under the Intel maximum temperature, its no worse than running your CPU with a stock cooler full of dust. :p
