The processors series core i7 (Bloomfield) will soon pass to new stepping D0, and all overclock amateurs hope for better overclocking potential. The encouraging results in this sense were demonstrated by the engineering model processor core i 7-920 (2.66 GHz) stepping D0.
The motherboard biostar tpower x58 was used with this processor, and also the powerful cooler thermalright ultra 120 Extreme-1366 with high end fans, which pumps through 120 cubic feet of air per minute. With the processor vcore 1.56 v it was possible to pass the CPU- Z validation at the frequency 4641 MHz.
Under loads in the 3DMark'06 test, the processor preserved stability at the frequency of 4410 MHz. Note the air temperature was from 18 to 19 degrees Celsius .
It is complex to predict, how simple users can repeat this result with series processors core i7 stepping D0, but we can hope for a certain improvement in the overclocking potential . Related Products :
