I7 920 Do

core 1 : 88
core2: 86
core3: 84
core4: 81

this is under full load via prime 95.

1.29 Vcore, HT on. qpi etc all on auto.

Yeah seems okay, I'd consider dropping to 3.8Ghz or something for better temps. Assuming you have tried lower voltage and that is what is stable?

I like to be around 60/70 on load. Nothing wrong with 80 but you're a bit near the CPUs limits.
 
Just a little high I think for 24/7 use I think. Vcore seems just a little high for 4.0GHz, but I guess it depends on the individual CPU. My 920 is stable at 4.0GHz using 1.216V. What case have you got? Might be an idea to try and improve case airflow. Upto around 80ºC is perfectly fine but your pushing nearly 90ºC on a couple of cores there.

i got a thermaltake advanced spedo. nothing wrong with the airflow in my case.

how on earth can you get 4ghz with 1.21v? is HT off with you?
 
Temps and voltage look about right for the Corsair H50 and the i7 but it's still high relative to other coolers. It says more about the H50 itself than anything though.
 
Is that a Sandy?

I run my i7 2600k @4.6ghz 24/7 100% load for Folding @ Home with a Noctua 12uhp cooler hits 68 across all cores using real temp. 1.368 Vcore

No, HT on. Just luck of the draw, you may have a slightly poorer clocking i7. If case airflow is fine and your already running push/pull config on the H50, not much more can be done if that is the best Vcore you can manage, without getting a better CPU cooler.

Clearly not because he mentioned QPI and the parameters he mentioned are more in line with Nehalem based i7s.

Well clearly he didn't mention it, the only thing not inline with 1155 was QPI, HT & VCORE are still present tho.

Sorry for not being a smart arse like you :rolleyes:

do you know how much that cost to run like that 24/7? would be interesting to know.
