Intel Core I3 Overclocking Discussions

[rive22]

Here are some benches for anyone that is interested in the I3 whether as a main station or an HTPC. Anyone feel free to contribute thoughts, questions, benches, etc.

I am very pleased with this chip it makes me a very happy man

I will run benches for whatever programs if anyone is curious so just ask. Not too shabby for a dual core

I figured 4Ghz would be a good starting base to run benches for this chip and should be attainable by most.

did you read the review on the i5-650 i would look and see what they did. take your memory to 1.65 that should be spec anyway i think

 

[rive22]

Yeah I read it definitely pretty sweet

great clocks. careful with the vtt though, these 32nm chips are very fragile. there's a whole graveyard of them.

^^ ouch Thanks man & not too bad for an $85 chip

After seeing that, its going to take a lot of guts for someone to overclock the soon-to-be-release Gulftown

WOW Those guys are running pretty brutal voltages

Voltages are insane. I wouldn't think about running that on a 65nm chip let alone a 32nm one.

 

[rive22]

yeah they are brutally insane

Converting WAV to MP3's


WAV to MP3 using a single core


WAVs to FLAC

actually I should probably redo some of those I was running my os in 32bit. Since going 64bit there's been about a 15%+/- gain in some of the benches
