Eclipse SLI with Corsair TR3X3G1333C9 (OC Quesion)

Hi all,
Just starting out in trying to overclock and was windering what speeds people have managed to get on their rigs. Is there anyone out there that is using the board and memory (Eclipse SLI with Corsair TR3X3G1333C9 3x1GB).
- If there is anyone out there with the same hardware as me and has overclocked it.
- What speeds did you get and what setting did you use?
Thanks All,
Halvare

  • X58 Eclipse Sli with CMP12GX3M3A1600C9 how to make it run stable in 1600Hz?

    Hello ,
    I m new here, so forgive me if i make a mistake somewhere !
    So my specs are :
    motherboard: X58 Eclipse Sli(bios ver:1.F0 model:MS-7520)
    CPU:i7 950 @ 3,07 (stock)
    GPU: 2x GTX470(msi)
    PSU:Thermaltake 1200watt
    HD:1xSSD , 1xWD@10000rpm
    and here is my story:
    I have been using TR3X6G1600C9(corsair ver8.1) with XMP enabled so in 1600Hz and everything were going sweet stable pc , then i decided to put something more on it another TR3X6G1600C9(corsair) this time came different ver2.5 with XMP profile off seems work fine , with XMP on blue screen-restart so i asked in corsair forum they show a .pdf from corsair which was saying that mixing modules even with same kind of memory there are posibilities it wont be compatible-work.
    Today i just replaced  the 2xTR3X6G1600C9  with CMP12GX3M3A1600C9(corsair) enabled the  XMP profile , everything was looking good all 12gb were working , but after some time i got blue screen and restart :(, so i bet this has to do with options and propably i have to do more than to enable XMP profile in order to make it stable. So any suggetions ? Yes i m totally noob from knowledge in bios only i know is to enable XMP but i m looking forward to learn stuff from ya guys and considering that i might just lost about 230e in order to upgrade ram and i can't make  to work 12gb stable in 1600hz i should of ask much earlier!

    What i have done so far ,with CMP12GX3M3A1600C9 http://www.corsair.com/memory/dominator/dominator/cmp12gx3m3a1600c9.html
    turned off XMP , put manually :1.DRAM freq-1600Hz 2. CAS timings 9-9-9-24 3.DRAM command rate 2N 4. DRAM Voltage 1.65 it did't crass again so far but  i am afraid about this DRAM Voktage 1.65 is it posible that i will destroy my CPU this way??? The rest options in bios are setted to optimal defaults should i change something else in order to protect my CPU?

  • MOVED: SLI won't stay available on MSI Eclipse SLI mobo with 2 EVGA GTX 280s

    This topic has been moved to Intel Core I7 boards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=122254.0

    I have 2 GTX 280 running in SLI with the new driver 182.06 vista 64 bit and everything works just fine.
    First remove the physx software , than the nvidia driver with ad / remove programs in the configuration panel.
    Restart you PC than install the new driver (182.06 vista 64 bit) and the new physx software (9.09.0203) is automatically installed with the driver. This is how i did it.
    I use evga precision 1.4 tool for my GPU's and GPU-Z and there it is confirmed that sli is working as well in the nvidia controll panel.
    My motherboard driver is 1.4B3.
    CPU = i940 at 4083MHZ 177.6x23

  • Random restarts with Eclipse SLI board

    This is a copy from my post on the Vista forums havent gotten much help there.
    Describe the problem in detail!
    I just built a new system on December 22nd 2008. I do Tier 2 and 3 Helpdesk work so I can work my way around a system. I put the machine together installed Vista did all the updates got all the newest drivers. Basically since I have built the Machine it will just randomly restart. It will not display a BSOD, I have auto restart turned off, and it does not create an event in the event viewer. It is almost like someone touched the reset button.
    When did the problem start?
    December 22nd 2008 the day I built the machine.
    What have you tried to fix it?
    Tried several different BIOS setups. I have upgraed the bios, did all the windows updates, got all the newest drivers for video, audio, lan etc etc. Removed MSI Live Monitor, disabled green power in Bios, and removed overclocking center. Went through event viewer and corrected three of the four errors that was showing up. One error is the Kerebos one and I am not worried about that one.  I have just run both Memtest86 and Memtest86+ and both of them stop responding about half way through the test.
    What is the error message (of any)?
    I have Vista set to not auto restart so I should see a BSOD but I get no message. I have had 4 restarts just today and none of them created a new MEMORY.DMP file or any type of event in the viewer.
    I do get warnings about something called FLASH.SYS but I cannot seem to track down what this is.
    What was the last thing you did before the problem started?
    Built the machine.
    What are your system specs?
    Vista 64
    MSI Eclipse SLI X58
    12 Gigs Crucial ram matched to the MoBo using the crucial matching system on the crucial website. The MoBo supports up to 24 and I am using Vista 64bit.
    Antec P190 Case (Dual power supplies for a total of 1.2 KW of power)
    Intel Core I7 2.66
    Creative Extreme Gamer Edition PCI E sound card
    Mcaffee
    BFG 260 GTX
    Coolmaster V8 cooler (CPU under stress runs about 70f well below the max of 208f)
    Do you have a screenshot?
    Nope
    My next step is to take out 6 gigs of RAM and see if the issue goes away.
    Any suggestions?

    Test one memory module only and see what happens.  If things seem fine, add one more module and test again (and so on).

  • MSI Eclipse Sli and Asus 6950 Direct CU II problem

    I’ve recently bought the Asus 6950 Direct CU II 2GB. After I installed it a weird buzzing sound started coming from around the area, where the big heat sink below the cpu socket sits. That only happened when the graphics card was on high profile and particularly when I was in any game.
    About a month later my card stopped working properly so thinking it was its fault I used the warranty and got it replaced. However with the new card the system won’t even start. My monitor goes from “Please check signal cable” to “No signal” and apparently the system is not even moving past the bios checks.
    The weird think is that when I use my old card (MSI R4870 1GB) the system seems to work properly!!! I tried the 6950 in two different systems and it seems to be working….
    I’ve tried resetting the bios removing other devises to test the power supply etc., but nothing works, I can only think that something is wrong with the motherboard.
    Any ideas on what might be wrong???
    My system is:
    MB: MSI Eclipse Sli
    CPU: Core I7 920
    PSU: TAGAN TG700-U88 PIPEROCK SERIES 700W
    RAM: 3 x CORSAIR TR3X6G1600C9 Triple DDR3
    HDD: WD Velociraptor 150GB for the OS

    Thanks for the timely reply HU16E.
    I don't have another psu available right now but I will in 3 days so I will try that.
    On the other hand I have mine working as a single rail from the day I bought it (turbo mode switch on the psu), but i am not sure how this can be connected.
    Also while I was playing around with the system it started up, only once, with the 6950, and that happened with everything connected so I still can't figure what the hell is happening!!!! I am thinking that something on the pcie port is wrong so i tried on the other ports too, yet nothing happened.
    I am still leaning towards the motherboard but any other ideas would be welcomed.

  • PC shuts down or reboots spontaneously (MSI Eclipse SLI)

    Starting a new thread to avoid totally hijacking another thread talking about almost the same symptoms here.
    My original post:
    Quote from: Smoke on 05-April-09, 12:43:21
    I get this same situation.. except the event viewer doesnt state anything.
    The system is not bluescreening.. it just hardware powers down and reboots.
    I get the same message as the original poster as well, it is very annoying as it often happens in the middle of doing something.
    I wonder if it could be thermal related to the high IOH temps on the board (often 80-85C, but not sure what happens to them in the middle of playing a game)? Is there any way to log the temperatures to a file so I can check what they were at the time of the crash?
    I get this issue whether I change the default bios settings or not. Ive got a 920 on my eclipse board, my CPU temps are below 30C under load. System temp is about 27C.
    What can I do?
    The following replies:
    Quote from: AaronYuri on 05-April-09, 12:56:57
    That's way too high, even for 100% load.  Reinstall the heatsink.
    Quote from: Smoke on 05-April-09, 20:46:53
    It is? I found another thread on this forum where it was mentioned that intel and msi said the IOH runs hot and to expect temps up to 100C. How do I go about changing the manufacturers heatsink on a board? Ive never done that before and cant find any procedural help thru google...
    Ive been able to replicate the issue by running ram up to high usage. When I get above 98% ram allocation, I spontaneously reboot. So It could be a ram issue as well. Of would that be something possible IOH related as well?
    Quote from: NovJoe on 05-April-09, 23:37:33
    smoke,
    Can you list out your full system spec and PSU spec?
    System Spec:
    Core i7 920 w/ TRUE 120
    MSI eclipse SLI (bios 1.4)
    6x 1gb corsair 1866mhz rated ram sticks (TR3X3G1866C9DF)
    1500w thermaltake psu
    galaxy gtx295 in the primary x16 pci-e slot
    MSI eclipse soundcard in the 1st pci-e x1 slot
    4x 1tb samsung 'UJ' hdd (raid 5)
    O/S (= old winxp 32 bit until I get hold of a 64 bit os) running on 128gb PQI SSD
    lg bluray burner
    All the drives are sata2 and running on the ICHIOR ports.
    For bios settings Ive got the optimised defaults with spread spectrum off and turbo boost on. Once its table then I will OC, but for now its not stable at the baseline yet.
    Temp info:
    IOH temps are as I said, around 80 at startup but rise to at least 87 under load, but not really much further that Ive seen.
    CPU temps are very low with the dual-fan TRUE 120 heatsink. I havet seen it go above 35C with a reasonably heavy processing load. Usually sits about 0-2C above ambient at most when idle.
    System temps get to about 40 under load, or around 27-35 under regular usage, but Im not quite sure what thats measuring the temp of on the board.
    The issue is very frustrating but somewhat intermittent - I can go two days without a crash but then get several in a row. I wasnt previously paying attention to my usage at the time tho so I dont remember what I was doing when it crashed that I wasnt doing when it was fine. I have been able to replicate the crash/reboot/shutdown symptom by running multiple memory intensive apps and loading the ram up to just on the 2.99gb mark (the most winxp 32 bit will 'see') and it goes down. No blue screen though.. its a hardware issue not software I am pretty sure.
    [edit] Updated the ram part number to be correct.

    ok, should I label this possibly as solved?
    I followed MSI's advice and checked through on drivers. Ive got totally up to date drivers, but nvidia just put out a .5  driver update (i mean, its increased the driver version by .50) and so I updated to that. I still got a sft reboot on testing, so no real joy.
    THEN, I did the big change MSI asked me to do - Ive successfully brought my system up to bios 1.5B3 and pow, massive improvements all round!
    Intelburntest runs perfectly now, no crash, no reboot, no errors of any kind. All residuals match. No memory errors. Memtest86 2.11 runs smooth as silk without errors either. PCmark runs out a basic benchmark of almost 19000 (about 3000, or 18.75%, more than the std core i7 920 benchmark without OC'ing) and looks great. Couldnt get that to run previously either.
    The previous methods which 100% of the time would replicate the soft reboot of the system now no longer do so at all (i.e. 0% of the time yet) and for that matter I have not been able to get the box to fall over AT ALL since the new bios.
    I have the same temps on cpu/ioh/system as I did previously. I recall for the same clock speed the cpu was putting out something well under 20 gigaflops... now its a solid 28. I didnt even realise that was a symptom of anything wrong, else the bios does some amazing extras.
    I should note, Im only now using the 'optimised defaults' setting thru the bios. No overclock at all yet.
    I'd love to know what MSI changed from 1.4 to 1.5B3, but whatever it was.. it does appear to have solved my issues. I wont say that conclusively just yet, but I cant bring the system to a crash no matter what I try now where it was rather easy to blow it over with a quiet whistle before.
    Other things Ive noted is that the page file now seems to be actively utilised. Ive pushed it at load up to almost 3gb where before the bios update I was struggling to see 400mb used. Not sure if that was part of it, but if you get simiar issues go straight to MSI and see about getting hold of the 1.5B3 bios or later.
    To quickly address the recent replies:
    1) Ive got to agree with HU16E with my ram. I have no trouble running at the 1333 JDEC spec. And I feel very positive about now being able to achieve the XMP spec with this new bios.
    2) Thanks for the link Aaron. I did end up using the USB flash method from this forum. Worked perfectly. Chalk up another success story!
    3) I did try to swap out the ssd last night, but the system kept soft rebooting while installing the OS on the spin drive. SO I gave up. Seems the ssd isnt a drawback under the new bios tho (assuming it even was a cause earlier).
    4) Ive DL'ed the x64 windows 7 beta and I'll likely as not have a shot installing that and refitting the extra 3gb ram back into the system. I'll let you know how it goes. Theoretically 6x1gb sticks should be as much as 15-20% faster than 3x 2gb sticks (and were about that much cheaper for me at time of purchase) but I'll run some benchmarks now that the benchmarks work and let you know the differences in case anyone wants to build their box the same way.
    Conclusion:
    I'll stress the system over a bit for the next few days without overclocking and I'll see if I can bring the system to reboot like it did previously through high usage, and if I cant I'll change the thread to solved and write out a proper solution post for the problem, symptoms and solution.
    Id like to take the opportunity to say thanks to all the guys who've given me help and advice. Youve all been really great. Thanks a bundle! I owe you one 

  • [ Eclipse SLI Memory Slot Problem ]

    I get my motherboard back from internal no display problem [repaired] but now I got a new problem with my Eclipse SLI board.  I have a Corsair 3Gb  (3x1Gb DDR3 Triple Channel) 1333 XMS3 memory, the problem is this, every time I insert 1 memory on slot 3 and check on my Memory-Z inside the BIOS, the BIOS hang, but if I continue loading and boot with Windows, Windows will load like there's nothing wrong, when I insert 1 memory on slot 5 and check the details on Memory-Z inside my BIOS, it shows details about my memory, but if I continue loading and boot with Windows, Windows crash with BSOD.
    I try my memory to my brothers motherboard [Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5] and all of my memory works good even in he's BIOS, we can check or view all of my memory details. I also try to use my brothers memory [G.Skill Ripjaws 6Gb (3x2GbDDR3 Triple Channel) 1600 ] to my Eclipse SLI and the same problem happen. Every time we insert memory on slot 5 Windows crash with BSOD but we can check details on BIOS and slot 3 hangs every time we check detail on BIOS but load Windows fine.
    As part of the rules here in MSI Forum, here are my specs
    Processor : Intel Core i7 920 [stock]
    Memory : Corsair 3Gb (3x1Gb Triple Channel) DDR3 1333 XMS3
    Video Card : Inno3D GTX460 1Gb 256Bit

    Probably, you can log a ticket with MSI and check on it?
    how can i have a ticket?
    Quote
    Just a guess, but I have the feeling they don't have a like replacement available, & they don't have an upgrade board such as an E. Plus or a BB X to give you. If you like having a PCI slot, trust me, you probably wouldn't like a BB X anyway. An Eclipse Plus would be nice though.
    that's also what i am thinking. they don't have extra Eclipse to replace my old one

  • Eclipse Sli, Leds on, No boot

    Hi everybody,
    I bought two days ago an Msi Eclipse for my new computer :
    Mobo : Msi Eclipse Sli X58
    Proc : I7 965 Extreme / Noctua NH-12 SE2
    Ram : 3 * 2 Go Kingston Hyper X 1600Mhz
    GC : ATI HD 4890 Vapor X
    Power s. : Silencer 520 W
    HD : Samsung SpinPoint 750 * 2 + 500 * 1
    The problem :
    When i switch on my PC leds are on and all fans work, but no signal on screen and Dled2 Off.
    What i Tried :
    Ram :
      No ram
      Only one
      Corsair TwinX 1600
    GC :
      No GC
    Fan :
      All tower fans off
     Nothing appened and the problem is still the same.
    Regards,
    Sky
     

    Ok ,
    So i successed :D and i'm still alive lol
    I think it will be a little bit long to explain what i done in details so i resume :
    I put the mobo on a table and used an air cleaner first.
    Second, I put on the mobo only the cpu and the cpu fan, I made as you suggest me, clear cmos : the Dled2 worked but blocked on the DRAM.
    Finaly I put the DDR3 only one slot and it didn't work , the post was still bloqued on the dram. I tried with an other old one , still bloqued, i put the three slots of the new one, it worked...
    I don't know where was the real problem but if it can helps someone
    Regards,

  • Eclipse SLI cannot post

    Well hello to the forum, I have been using MSI products for almost a decade, and I am facing a very difficult problem, that it drives me mad.
    First of all I have the following system running for 3 and half years
    Mobo Eclipse SLI bios v1.15 (1.F 03/03/2011)
    CPU i7 920 2.66GHZ overclocked to 3.20GHZ
    PSU TAGAN BZ-series 1300watt
    Graphics MSI Cyclone HD 4890
    RAM CORSAIR TR3X6G1600C7D, CMT12GX3M3A2000C9
    HDD 2X1TB WD BLACK SATA3 RAID0, 2X1TB WD GREEN SATA2 RAID0
    DVDRW LG SATA, DVD LG IDE 
    Sound MSI Creative XFi (came with mobo)
    Screen ASUS VK246 on HDMI
    Case Thermaltake Speedo full tower
    A couple weeks ago when listening to internet radio, the PC freezed, no display, no reset button so I power it off.
    I  tried to power it on but the power indicator didn't have no light, the reset button had its light on and all other components had power, but no post.
    I power it off, and let it go for the night. Next day I cleared the  cmos, pulled out the battery, bought a new one cause the voltage was 2.9v, disassembled everything, put new thermal paste for the cpu, and posted after 4 or 5 loops, I got the system running installed windows 7 sp1, and let it run over night. Next morning the same thing happened , and it keeps happening if I leave the pc running at night.
    I have checked everything, with one ram installed, disassembled graphics card, applied thermal paste to the gpu.
    So I am out of ideas. I have endless loops for post and if I am lucky it will post!!
    Is the mobo bios defected or is there a way to save it? I think it is some kind of capacitor that is going bad.
    Any help would be nice.......................   
     

    xmad, thank you for your reply, I managed to post and boot my pc, but there is another issue that I came onto it.
    My eclipse has the D-Led2 accessory that I never used it, so I hook it up to give it a try, but it is not working, the button has power, the lcd display shows nothing, and the funny thing is that it blocks my graphics card of displaying anything on the screen, I do hear the hard drives spin and everything else seems to work ok.
    Is there any beta bios for eclipse sli, so I can test it?

  • Overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920

    Hi,
    I need help on how to overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920?
    Here are my system spec.
    MSI Eclipse Plus
    Antec Quattro 850W PSU
    Corsair TR3X6G1600C9
    120GB Sata HDD
    Rgds

    With a stock Intel CPU cooler, I don't recommend going past what default voltages can achieve, excluding maybe a memory voltage increase or timings adjustment if needed. Some utilities are very important to have before starting to OC such as Real Temp & CPU-Z. What are your CPU & IOH temps reading in bios H/W Monitor? The temps of the individual cores is also very important, which Real Temp will provide you with.
    As mentioned, with a stock cooler, I would suggest not going past about 3.507 (bclk 167 X 21). Other settings need to be changed before this is done however. We need those temps too, before specific settings can be suggested. The last thing any of us want to do, is make settings changes & voltage recommendations that may damage your system. 

  • What I hate about the Eclipse SLi

    Not sure where to post this kind of thing, but having spent a fortune (£3,500 to be exact) on my new build PC, I thought I'd make a quick list of why I regret buying the MSI Eclipse SLi MB rather than another manufacturer.  Maybe someone from MSI will read this and slap their designers about a bit
    1)  It has 10 SATA ports and supports SLi.  What they don't tell you is that if you have 2 GFX cards, you cannot use 2 of the SATA ports as the 2nd GFX card covers them up.  I had to purchase an additional PCI-E SATA card, and now, obviously, 2 of my planned devices don't work until Windows has booted and the drivers are loaded.
    2)  If you have a 2nd GFX card, it covers up the DLED and you cannot read the POST messages.
    3)  Needing to use a piece of tape to fix the thermocouple to some component 
    4)  Less than great documentation on the BIOS options
    5)  Having only 2 USB headers on the MB.  With everything being USB these days, more headers would be good so I can connect up my multi-card reader as well as case-mounted USB ports.
    6)   Poorly performing RAID implementation (or poor drivers) for RAID5
    Anyway, that's my rant over for now.  I've always used MSI MB's (except my last one was an Abit), but this has really put me off buying another one.  I really regret it.

    1)  It has 10 SATA ports and supports SLi.  What they don't tell you is that if you have 2 GFX cards, you cannot use 2 of the SATA ports as the 2nd GFX card covers them up.  I had to purchase an additional PCI-E SATA card, and now, obviously, 2 of my planned devices don't work until Windows has booted and the drivers are loaded.
    2)  If you have a 2nd GFX card, it covers up the DLED and you cannot read the POST messages.
    3)  Needing to use a piece of tape to fix the thermocouple to some component 
    4)  Less than great documentation on the BIOS options
    5)  Having only 2 USB headers on the MB.  With everything being USB these days, more headers would be good so I can connect up my multi-card reader as well as case-mounted USB ports.
    6)   Poorly performing RAID implementation (or poor drivers) for RAID5
    Anyway, that's my rant over for now.  I've always used MSI MB's (except my last one was an Abit), but this has really put me off buying another one.  I really regret it.
    1.)  I solved the SATA issue by connecting the sata cables to the ports BEFORE i put the cards in.  Mine work fine.
    2.) What GFX card are you using?  I have 2 x GTX285's and they are NOT small. Yet I can still see my DLED.  Perhaps if you squat down to eye level vs. Looking from the top of the board down?
    3.) Not sure what you are talking about. I know my Copper heat pipe was missing a plastic retention clip and spring/  Found it packaged UNDER THE BOARD (damn QA dropped the ball).  Clip was broken so I had to pay $5 for shipping or a new plastic clip for mine.
    4.) I agree they need to document the BIOS much better.
    5.) To be fair, most ALL the major sellers like Newegg and Tigerdirect list how many stat headders, usb headders etc there are.  Not knowing there were only 2 herders is the fault of the buyer.
    6.) On board raid is always cheap bro.  Good raid cards can cost around $200-1000USD.  Hardware > Software.  I bought a mid line SATA Raid card for my box.  Have 3 raptor drives in Raid 0.  VERY happy i did it to.

  • Mai eclipse sli CPU problem

    Just got new i7 970 CPU and for some strange reason the bios setting for turbo boost is greyd out and another thing when I run the msi overclocking tool it reports only 4 cores not 6, in device manager is showe all 12 threads but when I look at the performance manager it shows only 8 threds anyone can suggest anything?
    I am running:
    6x2gb OCD gold 1600
    Intel i7 970
    Msi eclipse sli bios 1.13
    Radeon 5870
    And a few drives
    I replaced intel i7 940 which worked great

    Starting to sound like it is CPU/socket related. Sometimes a CPU reseat will help. Uneven downward pressure on the CPU by the cooler can cause these symptoms. The socket pins should probably be very closely inspected for any that may be bent or broken. The CPU contact pads each checked for solid contact. Before pulling the CPU, try with only one stick RAM in the primary (A0) black dimm slot & check for results. If you do pull the CPU, be sure to remove the PSU power cord & clear CMOS before starting up the system again.

  • Eclipse SLI CPU fan always on max

    Hello i got a problem with my Eclipse SLI. It's look like the CPU smart fan function don't work and the CPU fan is on max all the time.
    My bios temp's goes from 32-40 C. I have used a lot of different bios versions. 1.4 - 1.7 - 1.9 - 1.a none of those could fix it.
    Eclipse SLI
    Intel i7 920 - standard clock
    hope anyone got a good answer to my question. thx

    They have a switch for "always maximum cooling" and "temperature controlled speed". Check your CPU fan - it may help to read the CPU installation instructions as they show where the switch is. I would guess that you have it in the wrong position, so your BIOS can't do anything...

    If you turn EIST off you should be able to put the multiplier to a specific number between 12 and 21 (or higher if you have an unlocked Extreme CPU) and that is where it will stay.
    I believe that is exactly what i did, i disabled EIST, C1E and set multiplier to 21, however, when i run a stability test(Prime95 or Linx) it always drops the multiplier down from 21x to 20x.
    It seems to me turbo mode is still working when it is supposed to be disabled when you set multiplier to 21(or maybe it is just simply won't allow x21 multiplier to be used at full load anyway, turbo mode on or off).

    Very good point Jack. There you go ravescar & others, give that a try & see if it makes a difference. smile
    I experimented a bit with Overspeed Protection enabled and disabled, however i did not notice any difference in this regard, the multiplier still drops to 20 on high load for me.
    However this problem do not happen if i set multiplier to 20, it is only the 21 multiplier that have this issue.
    This is on a MSI X58 Eclipse SLI Motherboard + i7 920 D0 stepping + 6gb GSKILL Trident 16000 CL9 RAM.

    BTW. I've read of a couple of cases where DO stepping 920's getting 22x with Turbo enabled but I'll remain skeptical regarding the validity.
    Maybe it is just earlier version of cpu-z mis-reporting multiplier?
