What amazing! OC without Brain, Easily up to 4.39GHz, Turbo boost review
Last Month, my old computer P4 stopped working. I couldn’t find any problem makes my computer down.
After two days…I bought these.
CPU: Intel(R) Core i7 860
M/B: ASUS P7P55D Deluxe
Ram: Kingston 2G DDR3-2000
HD: Segate 500G
VGA: NVIDIA GTX 295(To play BIO5, I borrowed from my gf )
POWER: Thermaltake Toughpower XT 675W (support by my gf)
Cooler: Thermaltake Contact 29
Case: Thermaltake Element V (What a big case! it’s over weight like me ~ XD)
Testing Vehicle: WT210 Digital Power Meter (Borrowed)
No.1 Intel Core i7 860 CPU
No.2 ASUSP 7P55D Deluxe Main Board.
Oh ~ What shining words they are!
No.3 Kingston DDR3-2000 2GB
No 4. The first choice of thermal solution to me is Thermaltake. It only took me 29 USD. Mamania!
Let’s check out its features:
(1)So quite 12cm Fan (PWM Enabled)
(2)8mm heat pipe x 3pcs (HDT)
(3)Support any platform (Include Intel LGA775、1156、1366 & AMD AM2、AM2+、AM3、754)
No.5 Thermaltake Toughpower XT 675W
3 lights are STANDBY, POWER GOOD and the temperature inside of the power.
80 PLUS Bronze is another great feature.
I am glad to see more and more electric products with the feature of energy saving.
No.6 Case: The full tower black case, Thermaltake Element V.
There are so many large fans in the case. It can keep your case cool constantly.
(The picture is from Thermaltake official website.)
The most special thing is the button that can change speed and LED color of fans.
OK! Everything is ready to fight!
One more picture of my computer.
It cost me more than one month salary…XD
Somebody told me Intel core i7 processor doesn’t need to tune number to OC.
It’s called Turbo Boost. Then I found some information on website. Let’s see what’s TB?
【About the Intel Turbo Boost】
We can get higher frequency when Turbo Boost is enabled.
The frequency level is determined by core status. For example, my i7 860:
[1 Core Active] : 2800 + 133*5 = 3465 (3.46GHz)
[2 Core Active] : 2800 + 133*4 = 3332 (3.33GHz)
[3 or 4 Core Active] : 2800 + 133*1 = 2933 (2.93GHz)
This is so called Bin Upside. In a word, fewer cores activate, higher frequency they generate.
I think TB(Turbo Boost) is helpful for me , because I usually do some programs like movie converting,
files compress’ etc…only need single core active then I can get higher frequency.
