Probably could've broken the 1300 mark if I bumped it higher to 4.2

Pretty good though!
 
Just FYI, Nehalem CPU's overclock better using uneven multipliers. Thats really only once you get over 200 base clock though. Thats why you see all the I7 930 guys using the 21 multiplier over the 22, and thats mostly why the 930 was a flop.
 
Actually, 19 with higher baseclock would get better scores yes :)

Same principle with my Pentium, the QPI link will be higher.

Most X58 boards will top out around 220 base clock though, with EVGA being one of the worst offenders you may only get 215ish.

Would he be able to hit over 1300 when just using 19 then?
 
assuming 215 baseclock and 19 multiplier, you would still end up at 4.085GHz, so should be able to break it. at 21 multi it would be 4.5GHz.

That would be nice, then we can see or the i7 920 is really better then the fx8120 @same clock :P (I know it's better though)

Meh lifetime warranty ftw!

A 3 year warranty is plenty for the lifespan of a motherboard, technology wise.

Most likely since he got 1298. Higher QPI isn't going to make up huge point gains but it would likely see a few points of gain so yeah I would think it would crack 1300 on the same clockspeed with higher QPI.

You gonna test your main rig too?
And I saw you already sold your phenom so you got the money for a X58 board now? :P
 
Well, he needed to upgrade to AM3 and he had a Phenom II 940. So I traded the 830 and a cheap 880g board for his 940, 790x board, and 4x1gb of ddr2 800 ram. So all he needs is DDR3 ram, which is cheap now. I figure I'd get more for that combo anyway selling the board, CPU, and ram all together.
 
Well by the time it'll probably die, I'll get something that's atleast decent that supports the later sockets!


Free mobo upgrade is free! :D
