    Oh my giddy aunt!
    First time I found anything but trouble
    Cheers mate, will do that.
    The I7 is a flying machine but had to cut it down to 4 cores and it'sstill running at 90C, but quite happily. Just waiting for some fittings to get it waterised and then should be good to go full blast cos this project loads very heavily and uses nearly full six Gb of memory.

    OK done the account, so how do I do the submit bit. Been a bit busy so not finished reading all the bumpf yet.
    Appreciate the heads up.

    You have created a prover account and prover code correctly.
    Good Job.

    BTW
    The range of K's you are currently working on 3401-3999 on port 7771 is the 1st drive,
    I moved your report from the 2nd drive thread to the 1st drive thread.


    I7's do run HOT, especially with HT enabled.
    A good heatsink is essential.
    I use these

    Sorry,still not finished reading all the bumpf and a bit busy with another 2 I7s for somebody else. I run mine on a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and Coretemp says it's running 90C, Speedfan says 82'ish, and others say summat else so hard to figure. but it seems quite happy and not throttling so what the hell. Might switch to a spare IFX 14 with 3 fans till I get time to do the water. Fans are running fast and noisy but it is 26C in here. May put one of my other server rigs on as well cos the 2 I7 video servers aren't doing half as much as the 3 duals they replaced. But yes, it doesn't like HT and 8 LLR's running at 3.8Ghz tho' it does do it and use 5.6 Ghz of memory! At 4.2GHz it does throttle tho' on HT so LLR is using everything it's got and a bit more. Might invest in a pair of Xeons when the price drops a bit cos I could really do with another high power server and those 5XXX range are peachy.
    Appologise for the off topic guys, just trying to fit everything in.

    Do not overclock to much because the CPU will start failing on LLR producing bad residues. This means that a prime can be passed and all results be later re-processed.

    Thoroughly checked Carlos. No problems, just too much heat. Needs 1.45 for 4.2Ghz, so backed off to 3.8@1.32v true and 110W draw on the cpu. Just need to sort the water out to get rid of heat better and run 1.45-1.5. Tested on Memtest and Prime for 26hrs solid with no errors but started throttling with HT and 8 cores. No probs without the HT at 4.2Ghz, HT just puts that bit extra load. These new D0s are the bees knees if you get a good core from the wafers.
