*POST* your i7 setup specks

CPU i7 920
MB EVGA x58
RAM 6GB OCZ Gold 1600

OC 3GHz
Cooling Coolermaster v8
Temp 36 idle, 55 load

Why?
My old P4 rig worked well, but I wanted to play newer games and watch blu ray. I was going to get a Core2Quad, but then I heard about the i7 and I figured I would wait for it. When it came out, there was the choice of the 920 or 940... I almost went for the 940, but that was ridiculously expensive when compared with teh 920, so 920 ftw.
 
Took the plunge earlier last week. Most parts are already here. :cool:

CASE: Antec P182
CPU: i7 920
HEATSINK: Prolimatech Megahalems (x2 Scythe Slip Stream)
MB: EVGA 132-BL-E758-TR
RAM: OCZ Platinum 6GB DDR3 1600 (7-7-7-24)
PSU: Corsair 650W
DRIVE: LG Black LG Blu-ray/HD DVD-ROM
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB
VC: EVGA 9600GT Overclocked (from old build)

Upgrading from a AMD X2 3800+, 4GB DDR2, DFI Lanparty UT. No matter how much I OCd it, I was already feeling the slowness of it. I don't game much so it will be mostly use to rip, encode, burn DVDs and BRs.

Picked the case because I already have a P180 which I loved. The MB and Heatsink were the hardest decisions. Went with EVGA since I loved their product quality and support. Went with the Megahalems after reading a bunch of reviews that it matched or in some cases surpassed the TRUE's perfomance.

ditto for specs

overclock is a mild 160 x 20 with turbo off,
volts cpu is 1.35, rest are all two steps back from pink, all down to ram, which is @ 1.65 @1600mhz, then auto to the bottom.Other stuff is generic - turned off H/T and other non-essentials. GL!!

Have had good luck with Intel motherboards in the past. Very reliable. Looking forward to Corsair's new case. I think it'll be worth the wait. One item I did pick up that I'd highly recommend someone looking into is Logitech's Illuminated keyboard. Just a great keyboard...

Best,

Digging up an older thread to contact the OP re: his experience with a SUPERMICRO CSE-M35T-1B. I'm contemplating using one in a smaller chassis (FT01). Please contact via PM.

Corsair CMD8GX3M4A1600C8 (3 sticks) 6 GB

OC to 3.486 GHz (21x166) @ 1.21625 VCC, 1.175 VTT
RAM at DDR3-1333 (8x166) 8-8-8-24 @ 1.5 VDIMM
Temps are 35 C at idle, 67 C under load

The chip will do at least 3.8 GHz on stock volts, I dropped it down to 3.486 in order to hit 1333 on the RAM with 1.5 V (the memory is validated for 1600 only at 1.65 V) -- I overclock for value, not for epeen ;)

1.48v ??? Seriously?

Do you have a C0 i7? My D0 only needs 1.318v for 4GHz. I think your temps are super high because of the high volts.
