Can I start a Core i7 920 club and claim to be the number 1 i7 member ?
Is anyone else reading this daft enough to spend out on an i7 ?
Any tips on settings for that extreme overclock over 4Ghz would be much appreciated.
Yes you can start a Club
No I'm not daft enough
No tips sorry

hmm membership isn't going well. Maybe I should amend it to a DDR3 club, that would be marginally more popular.
Give it time....
If you start a thread they will come........
Just buy a Phenom II :D they ROCK :) I think we have three members:eek::o
I have the highest overclock out them three members :D

You hit 3.6ghz right? I bet I could beat that, I've hardly even tried pushing it to the limit, i just couldn't be bothered to go over 3.5ghz :mrgreen:

You might have the highest 24/7 overclock of the 720's but NOT of the AM3's last time i checked 3.8 was higher than 3.7 ;) i could go a bit higher bet temps / voltages were unacceptable.

SHED = PWNED AGAIN :lol:
I'm only at 1.51v and temps are like 48C loading...I have plenty of headroom, hence I've hit 4GHz :D now BACK DOWN :)

Proof? I want a screeny of a vantage run at least with something showing cpu speed to prove some kind of stability at 4ghz. Preferably of prime / similar running for a little while.

So I'm still the only i7 member - come on guys its the future...
Core i3 Core i5 Core i7 will rule the world. Well maybe....
Think I'll try and skip this generation. Or at least wait until the prices drop after a year or so.

my q6600 is more than fast enough for my use and I know it will overclock to 3.6Ghz if i want to ;)

If the performance previews on the i5 are true the i5 seems like it should be a pretty good platform. Not much performance difference to the i7 and a lot more affordable hopefully.

I am member number 1, back off.
Am I right in thinking that a corei5 is a corei7 with no hyperthreading and can't triple channel DDR3? Oh and slower clock speed.
wonderlust
29-08-09, 22:25
Clock speeds may well be higher and the turbo modes are said to be superior.
There will also be some low end I7 chips on socket 1156 too.
Hyperthreading will be available in some I5 chips
What? Weird. It'll be interesting to see what Intel do to market the Corei7 against the Corei5 i.e why would you buy the i7 over the i5 unless the pricing were very similar.
Nice to see they'll be some lower TDP chips around soon...130W is too much for a CPU I think :)
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/08/27/review_cpu_intel_core_i7_870/page2.html
Why can't Intel get on with these 32nm chips already ;)
Fool, its exactly the same thing as Core2Duo And the Quad Core line
Not that hard a concept to grasp
750 i5 chip is £160, 920 1366 i7 is £200 (plus extra for triple channel memory), 860 i7 (i5 pinout) is £225 iirc.
Ive been i7 for months!
I must be number 18)

I'll tell you what they'll do Shed. They'll discontinue the i7 920.
Which is what they are doing.
= no more competing CPU's! :pink:
I think this thread shows, why I am not a Intel fan boy :lol:
They're too sneaky!
One day, when ive saved about £200 more i will be in the i7 Club :P

Im an Intel convert after 6 years with AMD (last processor FX57) i've just upraded to I7 - 920 DO coupled with my Asus P6TD Deluxe and 6GB Corsair Dominator my new PC flies!!!!!!
i love amd tbh, they are the ones pushing the envelope and being inovetive but intel just throw money at it and copy amd's stuff just enough to get away without getting sued. the thing of it is they have the higher performance and the right price so that why my machine has evil inside.
im still hoping bulldozer can swap that around tho.

What board are you using?
Can't wait to try mine on the classified.
Andrew Moore
18-01-10, 22:16
Im using a p6TD deluxe.
i had the classified 759 but it blew... Had it RMA'd and got a 760 returned to me + a credit note for the remaining balance. The 760 was awful for somereason.. didnt like anything I did and wouldnt puch beyond 204fsb.
I can get 236 on the asus board so its a corker in my eyes,

I think I've pretty much given up on PC's. I've had the same issue on 3 builds. Windows hangs at the boot screen. Each time I've had to do a clean install. Any of you i7 owners had this, just wondering if you high end enthusiasts experience issues too.

Except when their not for yourself! When things go wrong on builds not for me, I feel it's by duty to correct it and actually get quite worked up lol.
For self builds for me, meh.

It all makes sense now:idea:
no i live in the Netherlands i asked special delivery from watercoolinguk.co.uk
they were really nice to make special arrangement to send it to The Netherlands :D
it would be ultra n33t if i came out of africa and bought this hella expensive **** :D
i want rep for my ultra expensive watercooling :D lol(joke)
might consider psoting my worklog :P

It was rather chocking to me too! Each gpu block was £137. Each one of my 2 rads were £105. My cpu block was £55. My full cover mobo block (that I have just paid for) was 125 Euros (£100 ish). And then we have tubing, kink coils, a MCP355 pump and another to be ordered (hence the £50 ish to spend) + compression fittings and other bits totaling around £40. And then theres 10x yates at £4.25 each :P

It is quite suprising how expensive this hobby is, just the odd fitting / accessory here and there is a killing (I just paid £20 for 2 bitspower connectors :cry)

i hope my parents dont see me :P
nobody posting anything more?
i7 is the way to go if you can afford the required components to make full use of it.
Would have been if I'd had 500+ posts :cry
Maybe I'll order one next month!
W.
Mine's inbound soon but I've already bought some OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 (6gb), Asus PT6 and a Corsair H50-1.
Hope to get it done at the weekend, but I don't think the board's arriving until early next week :(
