Is it worth overclocking core i7 920 ?

dissapointed with no screens

+1

I don't think he has got HT enabled if he actually has got a stable 4.5Ghz. So it is basically a bit of a cheat.

Screenies would be nice to see for sure.

I didn't think HT directly affected stability. It makes it hotter, and temperature can stop it being stable, however if it's kept cold I wouldn't expect any difference with it on or off. He is on water after all.

got stable in linx
Mobo - Ex58-UD5
Will try OCCT.
My settings temps and linx on screens.

Is my voltages ok ?

1.296 isnt bad, but those temps are a little high for my liking.
Not sure what others will think of them though.

 

[PaulyD]

Thats not stable either

Use all your RAM, run prime blend for 8 hours then post up results

occt + HD movie playing - 1 hour passed. With all memory 5 passes. Will try with 10

 

[shr3k_uk]

linx full memory pass ^ ^

in process was watching HD movie

Looking good so far. You could try lowering down CPU VCore and QPI/Dram one notch at a time and see what happens.
I ran mine on 1.225 VCore & 1.25 QPI/Dram and it's about 4c-5c cooler.

will try . Thx reygjabla

Not a good idea to run anything else while stress testing - gives it a few extra little breaks while it figures out what to do.

Wish I had D0! My C0 needs 1.330 Vcore and 1.336 VTT @ 3.62

My temps are good though as I'm under water. 38 idle and 60 Load ITB / Prime and that's with a 4870x2 in same loop.

Santa bring me a D0...
