well i dont know a whole lot about my new core i7 build so i just wanted some advice on the following issues:
1. my processor temp in bios says about 45C at idle, and i have it set to go off at 60C to warn me.....i unplugged the fan to see if it worked an it went off at 60C....so that was good news...
i then loaded the temp program that i was advised about earlier...(not realtem) the other one.....it showd 78-84 C at load....but the sound didnt go off until 75C??
does that mean the temps are not correct in the software? because the bios should be more reliable right? i am confused....
2. my clock is currently 3.76 ghz, i have the voltage entered manually at 1.42350 v, but it doesnt use it all usually gets around 1.4000 v...
my ram is running around 1500 or so, i have the voltage set to 1.6 cause its gskill and is set for 1.5 - 1.6 v..
my question is for my setup what should my volages for qpi, cpu, mch, and all over for this setup? can you guys recommend to me also what my timing should be?
i dont want to damage the cpu, so if you think the clock is too high, just let me know all the numbers to plug in....
i would like to get around 3.5 - 4.0 ghz without getting to where you guys think that its too much...
i am also wondering, instead of leaving the multiplyer at 20x and raising the bclk higher....couldnt i just raise the bclk to max, and then lower the multiplyer?
i didnt realize till i looked it up, but a ATI 4870 is GDDR5 wow
i dont want to sound dumb but how much scaling am i getting outta the 8800GT's? is it possible that they together are as fast as "1" 4850 or "1" 4870"?
thanks so much in advance guys
EDIT: there was a guy on newegg.com saying that the Qx9650 was faster in everyway than the i7 920, or i965, and i dont know if this is true or not but i thought the only difference between an extremem and regular is the multiplyer? Anyhow it looks like the core i7 is similar to the amd phenom with l3 cache and what not....
