Testing my I7 920, do these benchmarks look normal?
- Thread starter ViRuS2k
- Start date
Ocz Reapers 3x2 1866mhz GddR3
Well thats what i need help with at the mo.
the system is completely stable in games and windows ect ect
but under prime after 2 minutes it will freeze up...
im trying to get it stable. :/ i need to find someone with the same motherboard and cpu so they can help me get stable with voltages.
also i cant seem to find in my bios load line calibration cause my vcore fluctuates quite a bit when going from idle to load ect...
More Testing.
I will post screen shots later.
Managed to get Intel Burn v2.1 16 threads Maximum Memory Stable 20 passes.
HT enabled.
im currently tweaking my memory
i reduced cpu clocks to 4.050ghz
But i changed my memory to 7.7.7.22 and it is stable
upping cpu clock now untill intel burn test fails.
then again for air its getting slightly toasty LOL 77c Load but i know i can go as high as 85c and still be safe cause nothing will task and i mean nothing will task your cpu like 16 threads of intel burn test 2.1

CPUz shows
1.296v wich is +0.080 i think
but yeah your right when the 21x multi is used its showing under everest 1.30v exactly. so its overvolting me by 0.020+
I need to figure out how to fix the vcore fluctuations.
I remember when i use to have a nvidia 680I board and i used the pencle trick to stabilize the vcore
worked a treat.
then i bought a asus rampage x48 and it had load line calibration, also worked a treat
but this board fluctuates and there doesnt seem to be a vcore option to stability the load at all times.
so is there a pencle trick out there to fix this ? or is it not worth it ?
though with a stable vcore my nvidia board i got a lot more stability. so it could also help with this board.
we shall see im still tweaking but i think i have found my 24/7 profile wich will be 4.0ghz even though i can go higher than that there really is no point at all
in real world senerios who is gonna notice it anyway and even with this cpu at 4.0 with HT enabled its not exactly a bottle neck is it lol

Ok here is a pickle for yas cause i have no idea why its doing this
Look at my screen in the above post.
do you see something diffrent.
im running higher speeds and yet my score in the above shot is faster ? why is that
i have tryed 7.7.7.22 aswell but it makes no diffrence, the shot above is faster yet when i clock higher i cant produce the same results...
thats weird. i cant reproduce that 22k copy score, anyone have any ideas ?
think i have tryed everything LOL
i just cant seem to get the L3 cache`s latency down...
what is causeing this arghhhhh
and Chaapa¬ai, every D0 can hit 4.0 on air. anything past that is bonus
though C1/C0s are harder to get there than D0`s
you just have to find the right tweaks and settings when you want to go 4.0+ higher with HT tech enabled.
Most D0s cant hit 4.2 with HT enabled at the same time on air, but watercooling should be no problem.

OK guys
Figured out why my memory and L3 latency was higher.
one of the Reapers sticks is damaged, the memory doesnt detect in bios but it does detect in windows but only with useing memory programs, taskmanager only see`s 4086 memory...
so im running in dual channel mode now not trichannel.
also i fixed the 20x multiplyer
the motherboard that i bought was infact dodgy, some of the pins in the socket where bent
i managed to use a exoscalple to straighten them then powered the system on and wadda ya know, all my bclk work now on 20x mulit right up to 210 as far as i have tryed LOL
now i ordered so blades to replace these reapers so i will be back to full functioning tommorow i hope.
man my eyes after looking at all those pins i bent one back to far aswell so i had to bend it back LOL
almost sheeet myself

Trust me mate the stick died.
the system wont detect one of the sticks even if i run optimized defaults. wich gives this ddr 1.50v instead of its default 1.65v
Yes.
I dont mean to be funny LOL but those are obvious things to try
2 of the sticks boot when inserted 1 at a time but one of the sticks refused to boot the system.
