As I'm currently typing this, I'v just went beyond 8hrs of Prime95 (small fft). I'm trying to decide if I should stop @ the 12th hour or proceed to 24hrs. I will then test with large fft and then blend (same amount of time like small fft).

I need some opinions or possible facts on how long should I stress test with OCCT Linpack. I was thinking about 6 to 8hrs or simply set it for infinity & see how far it will last. We can all understand that it stress test the cpu a little harder but I think not by much. Any comments regarding to how long should I use OCCT?

As for LinX, I'm thinking 100 passes would suffice. Anybody disagree? Should I go for 150 or even 200 passes?

Usually, I would do 3hrs of OCCT, 6hrs of Prime95 (for all 3 parts), and 30 passes of LinX. I though for the 1st time, I will go the distance to really feel comfortable enough to say this OC is really stable.

All advice & comments will greatly be appreciated :D

I can't even browse. What's the reason? ]]> Intel CPUs PlUgOuT http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/613236-pc-slow-down.html N00b to Overclocking (i7-975, Foxconn Bloodrage) http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/613233-n00b-overclocking-i7-975-foxconn-bloodrage.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:08:54 GMT Hello Everyone,

The title says it all, I am a complete n00b to overclocking and need some guidance, I've been doing some cursory reading for awhile on the subject but with my current setup I can't figure out how to overclock anything whatsoever.

As my title says I'm running the following:

CPU=Core i7-975
Motherboard=Foxconn Bloodrage
Memory= Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Video Card= EVGA GeForce 280 GTX FTW EDITION

Now I know I'll probably just here how I wasted my money on such a hefty processor etc. but I don't have any issues with money so I always buy big. Perhaps once I learn how to overclock I can buy smaller and play with overclocking like the rest of you.

The situation for me currently is I'm running my machine totally at stock and with what I have I know I should be able to do some moderate overclocking but I just can't figure out how with this BIOS or with whatever else I'm suppose to be doing. I've googled a guide that talks all about overclocking the Core i7-920 on a Foxconn Motherboard but I can't even get my system to boot properly with the slightest modification to any speed on the CPU/FSB what have you. Just as a heads up I'm running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate also.

When I first bought this motherboard I thought it was bad as I couldn't get my system to boot it turns out that my memory required some seriously voltage change to make it work, I have to have my memory voltage at 1.85v for the memory I have and the motherboard by default had that setting much lower.

So lets see, I've gone in and enabled Turbo Speed so I could tweak my FSB or CPU multiplier but no matter what I do the system just will boot say what my new CPU speed is then after that line it will shutoff/reboot again and say I had a OVERCLOCK fail and go to safe mode with stock speeds. I've just tweaking the CPU multiplier from x25 as it is at stock to x26 and just that change will make my system not boot. I've also raised the CPU vCore voltage a bit to compensate for my attemped overclock and that doesn't make any difference. My BIOS says my default vCore voltage is 0.95v which I thought was quite low but then I've never had any system stability issues with my PC at all besides figuring out that quirk about my memory.

I've made adjustments in the CPU Features menu disabling PPM and a few other things that the post about overclocking an i7-920 mentioned and raised my CPU voltage and MB IOH core voltage substantially for what I think but yet my system continues to not be able to overclock whatsoever. Also as a heads up I'm running the Freezone ELITE TEC chiller on my CPU so temperature should not be any kind of issue.

If anyone can please give me assistance or point me in the right direction to figuring out how I can overclock this beast I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. ]]> Intel CPUs Ghostrider1982 http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/613233-n00b-overclocking-i7-975-foxconn-bloodrage.html T9600 @ 2.925 Ghz??? http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/613203-t9600-2-925-ghz.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:44:55 GMT I have a laptop I got off a fellow OCN'er that has a T9600 ES processor in it. I noticed everest spiking above 2.9ghz from time to time but could never catch it doing it with cpuz open so I thought it was just everest being buggy. Happens to be this processor will bump to 11x from time to time when doing things that require a lot of reads-writes like installing adobe cs3. It would spike often enough I was able to get it validated. I'll give a link to the cpuz and a screenshot below. Is this normal or is it just because it's an engineering sample? Any ideas?

other components are a Corsair HX850, 2x gtx260, antec p182, OCZ vertex ssd.

Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler

Rest of the PC is nothing out of the ordinary, 2 writers, 2 SATA drives, a floppy, case fans etc and that's pretty much it.

I have no experience in OC'ing, but wanted to make the most of my new PC, so decided to purchase a pre-clocked bundle. Even since then it has been nothing but hassle.

PC blue screens after just a few mins or Prime95 / OCCT etc. At first I suspected it could be due to my PSU (Nesteq NA5201 520W) not being up to the job, so I purchased a Zalman ZM850-HP. PC still blue screened after just a few mins of stress.

Kept an eye on temps, all fine and within range.

I've sent this bundle back to the supplier twice. Each time the technician has assured me that its running stable at 4.0GHz. He even reckons the CPU was changed just in case. However, each time it comes back and blue screens for me after just a few mins at 4.0GHz. 3.8GHz is fine.

Driving me nuts. Tester also seems stumped at this point and so has asked me to return the bundle again. However I really don't think I can put up with more downtime, just for him to claim its stable, only to come back to me and blue screen again.

I have since changed my PSU to the Corsair HX 850. My bundle is now (apart from graphics card and hard drive) idential to that of the technicians, plus my temps are lower than his and yet it STILL blue screens.

Here's my bios settings, but please remember, these are the exact same settings that the tester has this system stable at and also what they use for all there pre clocked I7 bundles (give or take a tweak here & there), based on him telling the truth of course.

Hope screen shots at ok....

These are the latest settings, but there are two other profiles (no turbo, but BCLK 200 for example) which he claims have also been tested successfully, but failed for me

How on earth can this be possible? How can this be stable for the technician and not for me? I am using the same bios profile so what could possibly be the problem?

Help please?!

P.S. Another thing I just remembered is once he asked me to try and lower the memory multiplier down to 6.0, however the system won't even post at 6.0, which is strange right? Memory past memtest86+ at 4.0Ghz fine. ]]> Intel CPUs jackhulk http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/612813-i7-920-d0-bundle-stable-supplier.html which Nehalem Xeon? http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/612777-nehalem-xeon.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:49:38 GMT are Xeons based on Nehalem better than their i7 brothers?

but when I've ran prime95 for 3 hours the PC restarted:confused:

BTW I've set my cpu volt to 1.12 (stock voltage)

so whats the problem?:confused: ]]> Intel CPUs ahmadbr1 http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/612696-my-system-restarts-randomly-whats-problem.html Overclock or undervolt? http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/612694-overclock-undervolt.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:33:52 GMT the question of questions. I got 4.3 Ghz easy on this chip.... But I got more room a 1.35 volts.... I can either go higher up in mhz for more performance.... Or I can cut the volts back and get my system to use less power (which is nice cus this thing is a power heat monster at summer) idk... the question of questions.

idk what to doooooo.... OC or undervolt....


I know this is OCn but in reality here, going past 4.3 Ghz has shown minimal gains, but there are still gains to be had.

Diminishing returns?

First 5hrs with cpu. Quickie tests done and I must say these W3570 3847A696 are overclocking beasts! To be able to get screenshots and validation @4911-4966Mhz HT enabled with 1.45v bios (1.440v idle) vcore is crazy!

Temp and vcore at 4ghz (1.184v) wise, it's pretty similar to my W3520 3845A935. It's definitely cooler than my hotter W3540 3845B010 but not as cool as my i7 920 3845B260 (coolest cpu I've got).

System:
  • Intel Xeon W3570 3847A696
  • EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
  • Asus P6T6 WS Revolution
  • Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD
  • 512MB Inno3D 8800GT OC Edition 190.62WHQL

  • Pioneer DVR-217 DVD-RW
  • Corsair HX1000 PSU
  • Dual Boot - WinXP Pro SP3 (nLite fully updated) with Vista Theme & Win7 Ultimate 64bit RTM

Room ambient = 29.0C to 30.8C

Unlocked cpu multiplier is alot of fun :D

A week later, the machine can't go above 200. I checked the BIOS (gigabyte ga-p35-ds3l) and it shows 297, but when I boot into Windows and run CPU-Z, it shows only 200.

I double checked every setting, using all the previous settings that worked. (eg. PCI @ 100, memory @ 800 (SPD)
I've turned off AHCI, restored the BIOS to fail safe defaults, reinstalled the OS, but still no go. I am tempted to re-install my E2160 just to check.
Anybody have any ideas? Do I have a defective motherboard? ]]> Intel CPUs weitau http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/612630-cant-change-fsb-e3300.html
