I'm getting 2382 total out of an i7-920 @ 4.42GHZ on a P6TD Deluxe, watercooled. It's a seriously hot chip though and it will still hit 80° even though it has been lapped within an inch of it's death and is hooked up to a triple rad with 6 gentle typhoons pushing and pulling air though it. During the bit-tech benchmarks it only just breaks 70°, but after a few hours of smallfft in prime 95 it starts to sweat. I've got a second rig with an i5-750 @ 4.05GHz cooled by a fenrir. Gets me 2000 points and never ever breaks 70°. In terms of pounds per point it's the clear winner.
I've decided to up the base overclock on my HAF 922 build to 4.05Ghz I believe the results speak for themselves
Damn thats sexy, Pics so I can fap - I thinks more appropriate... Whats the front LCD display is that some sort of temp monitoring screen if so what one? it looks good
That which you mentioned is an Aerocool V12XT, it's a touchscreen combined 4 channel fan controller and temperature monitor which monitors CPU, GPU, HD and SYS temps respectively http://www.aerocool.us/peripheral/v12xt.htm It's a great bit of kit, easy to use, simple to install and does everything it claims to And the 922 pictured I posted as a thread after I gave it an overhaul

For the rig detailed in my sig. All scores listed as "Image Editing, Video Encoding, Multitasking: Overall"; Windows Vista x64, stock = 811, 1121, 788: 907 Windows 7 x64, stock = 916, 1260, 932: 1036 Windows 7 x64, @ ~3.6Ghz = 1145, 1563, 1006: 1238 Note the 14.2% overall score increase from Vista --> 7!! I gained a 14.2% performance increase swapping Vista for 7, which isn't far off the 19.5% increase I got from overclocking from 2.8Ghz --> 3.6Ghz. Shame I don't have any OC'd results under Vista - I had the same profile saved in BIOS back then, but didn't have the CPC benchmark to run!
Cheers, it took around 3 hours but the end result was worth it Are you having any problems with the bios with your Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev2)?
Here's the results from my 2nd rig (Phenom II 940) Stock speed Results: Image editing: 988 points. Video encoding: 1528 points. Multitasking testing: 971 points. Overall score: 1162 points. 3.6ghz Results: Image editing: 1175 points. Video encoding: 1803 points. Multitasking testing: 1041 points. Overall score: 1340 points. Not a massive improvement considering 600mhz per core has been added. All settings were exactly the same apart from the multiplier raised from 15 to 18 and vcore from 1.35v to 1.45v.
The multi-tasking test is very sensitive to memory bandwidth, so it's worth taking a look at this in any overclocking that you do.
Thanks for the advice Lizard. I've run the tests again on 2nd rig in sig with the ram at 1066mhz instead of 800mhz, although I have had BSOD's in the past running them at 1066. The system passed a 3 loop run of the benchmarks no problem, so I think I will leave it at these settings and see how it goes (will probably run stability test later). The ram settings I'm using are: speed: 1067mhz timings: 5-5-5-18, 2T voltage: 2.1v as specified by OCZ Not sure if I'd previously used these exact settings, so the BSOD's may be due to entering non stable settings in the bios. 3.6ghz Results: Image editing: 1185 points. Video encoding: 1802 points. Multitasking testing: 1122 points. Overall score: 1370 points. The increased memory frequency has made a significant difference to the multitasking test result although I must say I was expecting 1400 points at least from this system, but then again it's certainly no i7 and I can't expect similar performance from dated architecture.
Glad to be of service At risk of stating the obvious you should also find that increasing the memory frequency makes a fair bit of difference to other apps that read/write a lot of data.
To be honest mate... No. Had some initial i don't know what the f**k i'm doing issues but now its all going great. As its only the first release bios this should only get better.
After having read the latest CPC review of it I hope so, my rev 1 is one of the sweetest bits of kit I've laid hands on On paper the Rev 2 should be that much better but typically is held back by it's current poor bios, not a good showing on Gigabytes part on this occasion
Dam i missed that review gona have to go on a mag shop. To be honest though I've been quite used to boards have bad bios and only getting worse with updates ....... yep i'm looking at you Asus...... at least this on is stable at stock (a new experience for me), has dual bios and i can go in and play with out a cold boot worry, having to strip out half my system just to get to the battery. So fingers crossed they can iron the bugs out
Just a quick update mate New beta bios out has fix what little issues i was having. Good show by Gigabyte.
