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.

 

[roadrunner197069]

Now all i need is my 4850x2s and a couple SSD drives for my OS.

Currently running 4670, and 2x WD 640s in raid 0.

 

[roadrunner197069]

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

 

[roadrunner197069]

The case will be painted when it warms up outside, I'm thinking flames, and I want to get water cooling, and some sleeving for my wires.

racing stripes fo sho, and some 19" rims

Looks good.

What are the changes that you made to the settings in BIOS.

Posts the temps after you get the Xigmatek installed.

Nicely done, great job.

Bravo. I'm excited to see updated results with the Xigmatek. I wonder how far you'll be able to push it on air, and how much difference you'll see with water. Again, very impressive.

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

Thats all I messed with.

23117 vantage cpu score (performance)

 

[Zorg]

I got 25083 with my Q6600, too bad. :lol:

 

[roadrunner197069]

What you got for speed on your q6600?

 

[roadrunner197069]

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.

 

[Zorg]

I was just kidding, hence the :lol:. I'm not pissing on your parade.

More details on the OC would be appreciated though.

 

[roadrunner197069]

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

 

[Zorg]

The i7 is the hot stuff, but it isn't off the charts. It really is a server chip IMO, but I still want one, even though I don't need it.

 

[Shadow703793]

Nice!

 

[Zorg]

So, about the specific changes? Do you want to?

 

[Zorg]

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

 

[roadrunner197069]

What exactly do you want to know?

Theres nothing really special. Looks the same as it does in the down loadable manual.

If you want anything specific just ask, and I 'll do what I can.

 

[Zorg]

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

some pretty neat cable management there
