Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

For those interested, I just installed a Noctua NH-U12P SE 1366 cooler on my i7 system, Asus P6T. This is one very effective cooler and probably some of the nicest workmanship I've seen in these...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I'd say it's several tads low. I'd want to see 500-600 watts minimum for these types of boards.

If you have BFD2 set to Load On Demand, it is considerably tamed. In this list, Eleven is by far...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Yes, this is with CS2. Guess I should add that to my sig. There was a difference between the 24 tracks being with 10 inserts, or the aux track equivalents at 5 inserts each. I wonder if any of...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

With HT ON the system in general (mostly UI I think) really does feel a bit snappier. It doesn't seem to boot any faster, though.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Duh. I knew that! :-) I really did, but it never occurred to me this time.

Ok, re-doing the tests with 62 audio tracks and 30 aux tracks, each with 5 D-verbs, I gained 30 more for a total of...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

From what I've gathered in past reads, it wasn't a full blown stress test, but rather, how many can you get with or without HT enabled, at xx% CPU. Without the stressing to maximum it may well be...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Right, I'm aware of that. In my own testing there is a slight hit but it's minor unless you're trying to absolutely squeeze the highest D-Verb count that you can.

But let's say that you have my...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I'm using a modified XMP profile and have turned off all the variable speed and turbo options except C1E (multiplier). Fortunately, in this mode there are only two steps -- full speed with...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I finally got around to testing D-verbs(7) on my i7 system with PTLE 8. 62 tracks was the maximum I could get so there were 10 D-verbs each of 24 tracks and 5 each on the remainder for a total of...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Is there a final consensus on Hyper Threading with the i7 and PT8? I started out with HT on, and it seems to work fine, except in PT you have no choice for number of RTAS processors -- it's 8 only. ...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Not at all.

Just before you are ready to turn off the existing machine to exchange motherboards, download and install the Intel chipset information utility for the processor/chipset you are going...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Indeed it is! Interestingly, they make the statement that IF other voltages are 'properly' aligned, that DRAM volts should be able to go as high as 1.8v with no problem. But no explanation of what...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I got a lot of my information from an article entitled "Ultimate Core i7 Overclocking Guide - We Push Nehalem to its Limits" from http://www.maximumpc.com, 2/5/09.

They consider 3.6Ghz - 3.8Ghz...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I just finished upgrading my DAW (again) to the Asus P6t motherboard with the i7-920 processor and 3x2GB DDR-1600 CL8 DRAM. It was pretty painless and I did not have to re-install or even update the...
