AMD Phenom II X4 965 C3 is out!

[SF3D]

Hi all!

I have got some C3 stepping samples to test, but time have been really limited and chips are not that great. The best ones are in different hands.

So far new stepping is looking good! At least 200MHz+ better OC results on air. NB is the same, but power consumption is a bit better

CPU is real retail and not golden one for sure. There is a bit better CPU in those few screens and I will clearly mark it.

CPU:


So here are the screenshots:

Max 06 on air in 25C° room (Thermalright Ultra Copper with bad base)


Full 06 at the same settings:


Same retail CPU on LN2 (6300MHz 05)


Same CPU on LN2 (6188MHz 06)


Same CPU on LN2 (6412MHz Spi 1M)


Same CPU on LN2 (6525MHz CPU-Z)


Then a bit better retail CPU on LN2


Same CPU did this easily, so it is very promising:


Thats all for starters!

Macci will add his aircooled + maybe other scores soon as well


There is a better batch coming in this week and I hope that we can provide some crazy stuff soon

Wow... C3 looks very promising. Too bad I've just bought one C2 955BE. As you say, I can do CPU Test in '06 at 4.1GHz on air so there's the first difference. Can't wait for see some "golden" C3 that does 7GHZ+ CPU-Z validation

Keep informing us

btw. is that real voltage on ln2?

Wow thanks for sharing petri
Well done man 6300 05 for not binned cpu is crazy

[aslanwas]

Nice CPu,, thx for sharing
but a question:
the 1,475V CPU-Z reads out, is this a bug ? or is that right ?

[SoF]

wow thoose new CPUs are looking really strong - can't wait to see new stepping

[SF3D]

Voltage is correct in aircooled 06 runs, but int the rest it seems to be VID value.

If CPU-Z would read it from the other sensor (SB) it would be correct. Luckily voltage can be checked from AOD, if needed.

[ZoLKoRn]

Very interesting with new steping thanks for sharing of results SF3D

[dejanbinladen]

nice votlage on 6,5ghz freq very nice

[Don_Dan]

Really nice scores for the beginning!

I'm looking forward to the scores if you can spend more time with the better CPU!

Since it's not mentioned, which RAM kit did you use?

Thanks!

RAM is A-Data 1600X+ D9GTR and Corsair D9GTR in other setup with "safe" settings.

Nice scores bro!

Love to see you benching AMD!

Thanks for the fast reply!

OMG, if your such good in overclocking you should know that Asus doesn't show the correct voltage in CPU-Z

[Andi64]

Nice!
Windows Vista x86 or x64??

[FlanK3r]

nice 1, hope next days or months under 10s superpi 1M

[Zeus]

C3 stepping looks promising! Thanks for sharing.

[TMWH]

Nice scores man (as always )!

[daellum67]

Nice results man.

The batch week there is interesting, I have three C2 chips that are later than that one. Maybe the real retail chips, made once production has fully ramped up, will be even better?

[MTP04]

Thanks for sharing SF3D.

Looking forward to more results.

[demonkevy666]

dose C3 have a memory limit ??? I know C2 is limited to 1800mhz but how high can C3 go on DDR3 ?

[M.Beier]

Looks really good Petri, very interesting results indeed, one can only fear what a golden sample will do on LHe!

Please do stick to those graphic cards

Buller, you hope I get it, right? The 7ghz <3 hehe sorry Marko, I cant resist temptation ;-P

[neo mike]

Where can i buy one of the C3 processors ? any idea who has them in stock ?

[Serpentarius]

wow ... 4.2 on air alone ....
it's like a beast unleashed

[Dahaka]

Great OC on LN2.

And what voltages do you set in bios for that frequency?.

[Hondacity]

wow 6.3ghz benchable awesome SF3d... how is the motherboard with 6.3ghz? is it the mobo limiting the max cpu frequency? or the cpu is the limiting factor?
