my cpu voltage set to 1.35v, memory to 1.65v, turbo on, all cores enabled and everything else, (voltage wise) set to default/auto on my ASUS rampage ii extreme. using custom watercooling with 360 feser rad, MCP655 pump, and heatkiller 3.0 waterblock to cool this sucker. from Amazon.com Going from my old Athlon X2 4200 to this, the difference is unbelievable. It takes a tremendous amount to make this computer hiccup. Quad core with hyperthreading (IE essentially 8-cores) triple-channel RAM, 8MB of L3 cache. And on top of being insanely powerful at stock speeds, this thing will overclock like nobody's business. from Amazon.com The i7 920 is a fantastic processor. The reason for the 4 star rating is because the core i5 and i7 8xx series is now available. from Amazon.com Incredible speed. Amazing that it can render my video 4 times faster than my dual core... Worth every cent! from Amazon.com Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz 8M L3 Cache 4.8GT/sec QPI Hyper-Threading Turbo Boost LGA1366 Processor from Amazon.com This is working out very well. My EVGA I7 board recognizes it right off at 2.66 mhz and does a dummy over clock to 3.2 mhz from the bios . Serious over clocking will start from here . from Amazon.com Wonderful Intel processor. Runs very cool and can achieve good levels of overclocking just on air. from Amazon.com the 920 is the best model in i7 series.. relation price and performance its better than 940-950-975- etc... from Amazon.com Pros: Very fast cuts through any application you throw at it. Cons: Runs a little on the hot side, got a DO installed in P6T6WS Revolution 36c idle, 60c fully loaed all 8 cores maxed running passmark burn in cpu test, and thats with liquid cooling, I guess thats to be expected with 130w cpu. Other Thoughts: The DO stepping runs processes evenly across all the cores, unlike the CO that loads 1 or 2 cores before using the others, DO is aloso a bloomfield, not nehalem. from Newegg.com Not that expensive for the performance. OVERCLOCKABLE out the yazooo Cons: Still rather expensive... This generation of i7 still draw a bit of power vs. the new stuff. from Newegg.com
