Some i7 9200-Intel X58 overclocking info
Here are some findings of mine while experimenting with the above and
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333 memory running in 3 channel mode...3x 2gb sticks. First, the memory. This particular memory will run at 1423 with voltage set at "Auto" but will not run higher at any voltage up to the max of 1.65v. There are several voltage settings and I need more time to experiment with them all. There is the main DRAM Bus Voltage and then DRAM Data Ref Voltage and DRAM CTRL Ref Voltage settings for each of the 3 channels. I haven't messed with the Ref voltages at all yet and do not think they will make much difference. The rest is so easy it is almost funny. All these are stable running 8-10 instances of Orthos for 3-6hrs and never blue screened or gave errors of any kind and could run 3dMark 06 and 3DMark Vantage over and over without problems. Intel Speedstep turned off on all. All other settings on Auto. 920 @ 3.6Ghz (stock 2.66Ghz, 133 bclk, 1.2v vcore) bclk-180 vcore-1.26875 dram-1423 (same with all) This setting at the relatively low vcore gives good temps with idle in mid 30sC and 100% load temps of 58-60C. 920 @ 3.7Ghz bclk-185 vcore-1.28125 This raised temps to 40C idle and 65C load. 920 @ 3.8Ghz bclk-190 vcore-1.325 This is where I stopped because temps were 47-50C idle and up to 85C under load. I am running at 3.7Ghz right now and have no issues at all. The Bclk and Vcore are really all you need to mess with on this X58 board to get a decent overclock. Running Orthos on the I7s seems to only stress 1 or 2 cores and really only one to 100%. I notice that with all other programs the processor uses all 4 (eight virtual) cores very evenly, even with programs not written for multithreading so real-life temps (like SETI) are always lower. These processors are a big step up from the C2 Quads in everything from gaming to processing video. Most of my gaming is with simulations, both aviation and racing. I attribute the increased speed with video to more and faster memory and the direct memory control from the processor absent of the old fsb limitations. For some reason Sandra will not run on this system, so I don't have any exact readings. I don't know if it is the 64bit OS or the hardware itself......It just blue screens at startup whethere overclocked or not. Seeing as all other programs work perfectly, I don't see how it could be some kind of problem with the build. If anyone would like me to run something else, please just ask and I will do my best. Questions and/or hints to help me are always welcome as usual. Ed |
