OC3D Review: Intel i7 930 1366

Hi,
I'm v. impressed with the undervolting and the results you achieved. Is it possible to share all the settings you used?
I have a new i7 930 and I'm just starting to tinker. I would like a cool running and v.stable 3.8 as a max target. Your work might help me speed up my process and allow me to do it within safer parameters.
Thanks in advance.

You wont be able to under volt and still get an overclock dude. Its one way or the other sadly. Another thing you need to realise is cpu's and motherboards can all act very differently so settings for one may not work for another.
i7 930 overclocking
"It took a lot of testing but we finally found the sweet spot. 1.112v on the core and 3.8GHz. I think you'll agree that this is outstanding."
Overclocking is basically a method of finding the optimum balance to achieve stability for a desired performance level for your particular chip and setup. We are dealing with ranges of multiple settings (and as a result too many permutations if you include the hardware variations!) and I want to get in the right range of settings to save my system unnecessary wear. Using the lowest voltage to achieve solid stability at 3.8 is my goal.
I was hoping to get an answer from the author to find out how he reached that low voltage and high performance....

It was me who tested that CPU fella.
You really need to read some guides and work out what YOUR chip can do fella, its simple but you just have to put the time in.
This thread is for overclocking, you can do everything but the volts though dude. All the info is on the forums for you to try. If you get stuck start a thread with what you need help with.

Every moron knows that. Thanks anyway.
I asked a simple question and he can say if he has the data or not. It is up to me what I choose to do with the data if anything. He can just answer the question.
I was not looking for more internet advice on guides to overclocking. I can Google with the best of them if I need something. I was taken with the performance he alluded to in his article and wanted to read all the details if they were available. The answer I guess is NO.
It is no as the testing was done a long time ago and I did not keep details that specific, if what you require is not in the review I do not have a record now.
However you do not need them as its VERY simple to work on your own kit to find out what yours is possible of.
Just set your cpu to its VID voltage and then overclock as normal without voltage increases. Its very simple if you actually try it.

FYI, if you just want to do pure undervolting, other settings will be left on auto.
It is possible to do some overclocking while undervolting as the manufacturers normally set needlessly high voltages automatically.
Even while overclocking, most of the settings can be left as default.
You might want to disable the spectrum ones though.

There is no need to be rude. If you know these things fair enough, but if you were expecting to be able to buy any chip and magic up these results then I was simply saying that your expectations may need tempering. If you don't want other people to help, don't put this information on a public thread. If it is on a forum, expect people trying to be helpful to answer.
AUTO is completely the wrong thing. The board will overvolt to try and compensate for the clock. You MUST set the voltages so they stay where you want, ie: the cpu's VID

Whoa boy! There's no need to arch your back! You give the air of someone who clearly understands overclocking well, yet rather than experimenting what your chip can do, simply wanted to recreate the test results which were likely performed with different hardware from yours.
As Tom said it is very simple to see what your processor can do and requires no facetious comments concerning another member's post when they are simply trying to aid in the issue as all good members will.
You talk about being respectful yourself, yet the aggressiveness and rudeness of some of your reponses isn't really warranted and will only serve to embitter people towards your plight.
I suggest in future a little bit of patience should be utilised, as it is not always easy to understand what a person is asking first time around and can lead to subsequent confusion and in this case strife.

I removed the post and have PM'd. But I agree entirely, we are all a big family here and will help, but all the questions were already answered, just maybe not in the way he was expecting.
