Bro,if say an OC-ed i7 950 4ghz vs i7 2600k 4ghz,is it sandy still shining in term of performance?cant find any review regarding this matter.

from benchmark seems like its better but game performance wise from what i can see it seems like the difference is negligible cause only around 5 FPS increment .
gotta wait for more review .
but it seems like the sandy bridge is not really OC frenly based on the reviews .
can only play with the multiplier and the BCLK increment might not even exceed 10%
and review said only P67 chipset can play around in BIOS .
the H67 doesnt allow it .

dont flame me but this is what i read from review >.<"

the architecture is completely different, but its a bit dull if only can play with multiplier. Still waiting for more reviews and user comments though

yeap its too dull that it doesn't make it interesting to play with new playform although it has better performance .

aih, any news on when will LGA2011 will be released ?
that enthusiast platform should let OCer play around with the BIOS settings man .

else, it wont be nice .

if it's a heavily gpu dependable game, even a few fps is considered a good gain already.

now the sandy bridge bclk feels like pcie frequency. very rigid

hi guys..

everybody busy for lga1155.. i read the reviews n seems tempting..

my oc till 4.3Ghz.. hard to make it stable at 210 bclk.. any idea?

below my setting for 209 only..

sandy should be quite boring for now... for the meantime i will keep my gulfy and wait for z68 and x68 lol...

Agree with u guys. Without BCLK tweaking Sandy overclocking is such a bore. Less playability no fun.

your screenshot provides too little info about your oc setting, don't even know what's the problem. do post in with cpu tweaker and cpuz (ram, mobo info etc)

i read sandy's oc guide from XS n found dat they recommended to keep C1E and EIST option enabled for the best overclock capability.. btw,i read sumwhere said dat sandy's K processor can do 4.9Ghz on air.. huiiyoo.. n sweet spot for Vcore will be 1.45~1.55.. but no review up yet so we cant say anything bout sandy atm..

p/s: bro mets,i will try post some info 2nite..

yeah i also think like that....wait for x68...then i jump...
this so called "integrated graphics" is pain in the a** only...
i heard it will be release in mid year??izit true?

x68 = lga2011?

btw, bro mets n gurus,here setting for 4.4Ghz but cant make it stable..

ody vcore to 1.4++ still da same..

symptom = linx freezing n (some tweak i did laz nite but forgot) after 15loops bsod..

hey guys i am really new in overclock ~ it is such a waste i hav this rig but i stio oc it due to study ~ now i wanna do it again
so far i only able to oc my i7-950 to 3.7 ~ i need some guide to get over to 3.8 ~ when i try oc to 3.8 it sometimes can boot sometimes no ~
pls give me some guide which setting i need to play with especially those voltage thing thx ~

mobo: RE3 Rampage
CPU: i7-950
RAM : 2x 2G Corsair Gaming Ram 1333
GC : Sapphire HD 5850

try setting your tRCD to 9 and tRFC to 88. and most of all, I seriously don't think u need that much of QPI/DRAM volt (VTT) sometimes for certain procs, too much vtt can lead to instability. set it to 1.30v or 1.35v

Depends on what BSOD u got.
A bump on vcore, vdimm or lower VTT might help. 1.3x VTT is sufficient for that uncore.
Might try to play with PCIE 105Mhz, IOH 1.175v etc... ahh LinX failure could be many reasons.
Run memtest to check dram error, but for R3E I just let it auto except for the 9-9-9-x

Added on January 6, 2011, 12:01 amNice try bro. U need to manually adjust vcore more than the current 1.15v, say 1.3v should be sweet for 3.8Ghz
vdimm set to 1.65v 1st, after this u might adjust lower for the most optimized one, say 1.6v.
QPI/RAM aka VTT set to 1.3x, for that uncore should be enough.

thx bro ~ try it now

from what i heard, z68 shd be mid yr then x68 might be end of this yr or beginning of next year

erm ~ how to count the memory divider ? to get the desire dram frequency

Either 2:8 or 2:10 for BCLK:Ram

Let's say for 2:8 (or 1:4) default BCLK of 950 is 133Mhz
So 133:133mhzx4 is 133:533mhz effective dram freq for DDR3 is 533x2=1066mhz
U may say 133x8 ~1066mhz for 2:8
For 2:10, effective dram speed is 133x10 = 1333mhz
Hope this helps.

this info is damn clear ! i read through alot and cant understand but what u tell is very ez to understand

made it to 3.8 ~ any comment
