Please post your clocks and screenshots.

Best kept seperate from the ***The Official Core i7 Overclocking Thread***

Where is Jokester when you need him

Wise to mix up i7 and i5 in the same thread?

 

[easyrider]

same socket

both run dual channel memory

im not arguing over it, or changing thread titles

With respect one has HT the other does not.

For simplicty and comparing clocks it should be

***The Official Core i5 Overclocking Thread***

***The Official Core i7 Lynnfield Overclocking Thread***

I personally only want to see how I5's are doing.

Me too.

 

[easyrider]

Will post results tomorrow I only have the stock heatsink but have the adapter for the Noctua on its way but could be a week or so.

Sweet can'y wait for the results on stock...Will be very interested on temps.

 

[easyrider]

Arrived and installed. Just sat at stock whilst I check everything.

I notice the speedstep is more advanced, it has several drops in speed rather just one.

Cool.

Keep the updates coming.

Max clock on stock cooling would be dandy

 

[easyrider]

I'd imagine the average user never pushes it anywhere near OCCT levels so for intel that cooler is adequate.

Did your gear arrive?

 

[easyrider]

I need clocks!

 

[easyrider]

Are these i5's any good at overclocking then? To the likes of over 4Ghz.

yes

 

[easyrider]

Well my build is done but I'm still making sure windows and everything is sorted before I even touch the clocking.

4ghz is the minimum clock I would expect from i5


If not it just aint worth it over i7 920

 

[easyrider]

4ghz appears to be the normal sort of figure these are hitting from what I've seen. Oh it may not be worth it for you but for a 280 quid rig if it hits 4Ghz I will be very pleased.

I would ask Big Wayne.

But he's a conservative clocker..

 

[easyrider]

4Ghz low voltage is looking good

Thats what I am after

 

[easyrider]

Anyone got a gigabyte mobo to test?

Also how quick before they bring a new i5 revision out?

How long was it for D0 variant i7 to arrive?

 

[easyrider]

Just bagged myself a P55 GD65 for £63 Cheers ken1307

Will get a 750 under water ASAP.

What ram shall I get?

 

[easyrider]

Gskill stuff seems good. Wish I had gone for the 7-7-7 stuff as I clicked on 8-8-8 by mistake (its only a few quid more).

linky?

 

[easyrider]

You only have 2 QPI (16 and 18) options so if you want to go over 200BCLK comfortably you really need RAM rated at over PC12800, but with the tightest possible timings hence;

Cheers.

What are you running? The same ram?

 

[easyrider]

Corsair Dominator GT - but it's double the money. You know me, I even drove there to pick it up.

OK,

A jokes a joke.

Can we make up and at least be professional.

I'm sure I will be picking your brains in the coming days and others too.

If you hate me that much..Add me to ignore.

The rolleyes was at myself. Please consider that an apology. The advice was freely given and intended to be helpful.

Fair do's

I'm goin to be transfering my waterloop from my AKASA Eclipse into a 19" rack case.

I take it my Swiftech Block from the Apex Kit won't fit the GD65?

I can't check, the case and loop are in a storage cupboard in work.

 

[easyrider]

I'm afraid not. The S1156 sits exactly mid-way between the spacing for S775 and S1366. I'm using an EK Supreme which has a slot cut in each corner. At the inside edge of the slot you get S775, S1366 is the outside edge of the slot and somewhere in the middle is S1156. When I first saw the EK Rev II plate I thought Eddie had excelled himself at some cheapskate way of not having to drill a precise hole, but now I appreciate the smart thinking behind it.

Guess new block then..

No adaptors out there?

 

[easyrider]

OK - Don't look at the voltage. I said DON'T LOOK AT THE VOLTAGE.

OEM or retail?
