Windows 7: Post Your Overclock!

This weekend (after my homework is done - just in case...) I'm going to try and goose the FSB a little and see if I can push it a little higher. Unless my ASUS motherboard automatically bumped something those numbers are at stock voltage. Might need a little push there, too.



I should have added that I'm quite impressed at the scores some of you have achieved. Nice going!

Thanks A Guy, nice to meet u in this Thread ...

Great achievment for an i7 920 ( nice chip just like mine sometimes ago ).

Definitely nice, peaceful, especially considering your location and lack of AC.

yeah, you're right, and to reduce heat i place many fans but quiet ones.

2 fans 14cm in the front ( 800-1000 rpm ).
1 side fan 12 cm ( 800-1000 rpm ) with cone directly blows in to my vga hsf fins.
1 fan 12 cm placing in 5,2" drivebay ( 800-1000 rpm ) blows in.
1 fan 8 cm in hdd cage placing between my 2 hdd, directly blows in to my vga hsf fins.
1 fan 12 cm ( 800-1000 rpm ) on the upper of chasis blowing out
2 fan 12 cm ( 1200 rpm ) push and pull my Corsair H60
2 fan 4 cm ( @ 4000 rpm ) placing in the back of chasis right on my vga slots blowing out hot air from vga hsf fins
1 fan 8 cm ( 1000 rpm ) in behind chasis right on the psu to blows out heat comes from psu which only has 1 quiet fan 8 cm ( and now my psu case has an ambient temp ).
and 2 other vga stock fan.

By doing so, my temp inside the chasis stay ambient around 34C.
When gaming for hours with 4,5 Ghz, Max temp core #2 only 48C, and my vga temp max 72C at clock 900 and mem 1200 ( default 725/1000 ).

Here's pics of fan placement

green = 14 cm, blue = 12 cm, red = 8 cm and white 4 = cm

Nice job peaceful, very clean and neat.

Hai ... Layback Bear thank you.

Here's SS of Temp while gaming for 2 hour in OC mode both CPU & GPU

Very nice!

I bumped my FSB a little and gave the ol' multiplier the +1 treatment. Couple more MHz can't hurt...

Do you, any of you, notice any real world improvement with these OC's? Or is it just a numbers thing? A Guy

profdlp .. nice fsb bump, but i'm sure you can still push the vcore down to around <1.3, you might start by one notch after another down till you find it stable with primw95 or IBT.

yes, in some cases like gaming ( especially cpu-bounded games, can shorten video editing time process and others, in number it will increase the figures/scores when benchmarking which indicates the higher score, the more powerful your pc is).

edit: In a simple way, from real market standpoint, it's obvious that the price range of a cpu, but not the only factor, determined by a default clock of the cpu itself.

Posting at SevenForums, checking email, etc = no.

There is a certain extra "snappiness" to everything, though. I'll be the first to admit that that could be the placebo effect in action. If I had a choice between keeping my current CPU with the O/C and giving up my SSD or going back to my Socket 1366 Core i7 920 (2.67 GHz) and keeping the SSD I would keep the SSD. The 2600K was only about $30 more than the regular (locked) 2600, so I went for it. Since the O/C was pretty much a matter of changing a few BIOS settings (and holding my breath for a few seconds the time I took things a bit too far and it wouldn't POST) I figured "Why not?".

I do get better grades in school and the chicks now dig me. That ought to count for something.

EDIT: What peaceful mentioned about gaming and video editing is quite true. I don't do a lot of either at the moment since I'm too busy with school.
