Updated Linx with latest linpack. Lets see if I can squeeze out errors that were never detected.

i dont really see much different between stock speed and OC..

i running 3d mark vantage, at stock it give 21000 mark for cpu

when oc to 4ghz it give 3000 extra more. more heat, more power jz for 3000 mark.

3000 points are huge gain bro. What digits do u expect in this synthetic benchmark?
This increase in speed can make ur day to day tasks run quicker and any number crunching such as compression, folding or video encoding or even Photoshop processing should be more fluid and less time consuming.
There are many benchmark reviews out there pls go read up HERE
kthxbyte

you can always settle for lower end pc as well.. why buy i7 ? its only juz for few k mark with extra ringgits

One easy real life test you can do is by installing Windows You can try installing Windows with your stock i7 CPU speed versus an overclocked speed. I'm pretty sure you can then tell the difference.

the only reason why i buy i7 is to play Civ 5, when i play using 965BE is take 5-10 sec to load turn. i thought i7 would be faster but i guess it juz the same. or i mistaken something.

For me,

Buy a new PC just for playing a certain game = BIG NO NO

Buy a new PC because the current PC is too old = YES

In my case, purchasing i7 gives me a huge satisfaction as I'm upgrading from P4 3.0 GHz with Nvidia TNT Riva 2 32 MB (LOL) to i7 950 HD 5870. So I can see a definite result there.

it is too subjective to convince me without a single benchmark
An i7 920 already pwned Phenom2 SOS
I'd say something wrong with ur settings, voltages, etc..

Just installed my water cooling loop and I'm beginning my overclocking! Wish me luck!

Added on October 30, 2010, 2:13 amI followed settings from http://www.overclock.net/intel-motherboard...tml#post8435147

And am currently Priming at 4Ghz. So far temps are (60,56,56,54) highest after 1 hour.

Think I want to try pushing to more. I still have room for temp right?

i have question
why my vantage score is 18k?
is it coz i use windows 7 32 bit?
my gpu score is 15k plus and cpu is 18k plus.
using i7 930 4.01ghz and 5850 stock clock.
already test my stability system using occt at 8 hours no bluescreen.

woooot.....owikh already migrate to 980x
nice temp...so much headroom for OC....
does real temp detect it correctly bro??

i see intel core i9 there...

yaya managed to grab one unit for myself hehe.
I'm using older version of RealTemp. Latest one should fix the name correctly.
And this clock is not LinX stable yet. Still looking for a sweet clock.
The temps are that low due to 32nm. 4.3Ghz HT off on 920 D0 was 50C idle.
Stay tuned for more updates.

some interesting stuff catch ma ais...D90 and ax1200...

i7 980X @ 4.5Ghz HT OFF
EVGA Classfied E760 Bios 73
Corsair DomGT 2kC7 @ 1800Mhz 7-7-7-20-1T, RTL 53/55/56
