Roadrunners i7 Rig!!!!

1.34 vcore, I,m gonna try and back it down later.

36-40c idle, and 75ish on prime 95, (Stock cooler) I will get a xigmatek bracket as soon as I see one online.

Downloading vantage right now.

not bad at all, especially on stock cooling. The temps could defenatally drop a bit but im very impressed you were able to get it that high without an aftermarket cooler.

Money well spent is all I can say after running the same HDDs and GPU on a e8400 @ 4.0.

racing stripes fo sho, and some 19" rims

Nicely done, great job.

Bclck
vcore
ram volts/ speed
disabled the usual speedstep crap
enabled load line calibration

Thats all I messed with.

I got 25083 with my Q6600, too bad.

Wow, I wonder if the better GPU help the CPU at all, or if vantage just likes FSB better then integrated memory controller. Gonna have to do a little research.

Well i was lookin at some other posts and people with q6600s and gtx 280s are getting 40000+ lol.

Nice!

Can we get the BIOS changes on that board, or are they secret? We have reviews. What about your understanding?

I want every default and the changes you made. I hope I'm not asking too much.

Na i will get some pics tomorrow of the defaults.

Give us the BIOS changes. I know they they are few. Give them up.

I don't want pics.

Cool, that's all I wanted.

Thanks

The turbo is part of the energy saving overclock. When you dont use all the core the one or 2 you are using go up a little. I'd rather have all cores and threads running all the time.

yup, better then waiting a millionth of a second for them to kick in when i do need em

This way i can burn all the cores evenly, lol.

Just a thought, enable it and see.

Yeah, stupid comment. I knew better, I read the reviews, I didn't need the info, I just thought you would be more forthcoming.

So, easier to OC than the Core 2? Got to love it.

So now the new thing is the i7 against the core 2.

Remember when it was the dual VS quad?

How times change...

Pretty nice rig mate hope u enjoy this beast

Here is a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme for a 1366 socket if your still looking for a cooler

Ok, now for next monday, I am gonna buy 2 of these:

if they work well, I will buy 2 more, because I will be running them all in raid 0, as I want max performance.

If they work like advertised I expect 300+ transfer rates vs my 2x 640 WD @ 181MB/s.

When I get a xmas bonus I will buy my GPU's.

Damn, only $80 for a 30GB SSD? Not bad. Good for just OS.

Sure, after I get done encoding this video.

um what about those (Samsung?) 256GB SSD's? apparently they have like 300+mbps by themselves...
