I will test later.:)

[Solarfall]

cant wait for those tests :up:

[KiD0M4N]

Waiting for the tests AY... (i really got to cut down on these damn pop corns!)

[Grinch]

test please...

[b0bd0le]

interesting... looking forward to your results.

[XtremeTiramisu]

+1 for your results please.
CANNOT WAIT...hehe
Take your time, I'd love to see it does 4Ghz Orthos stable on air :D

[shimmishim]

sweet. :D i'll be waiting for results too.

[PcCI2iminal]

nice Andre

I am curious to see

[DShankar]

subscribed! Right now I'm between e6850 and q6600...

[Brother Esau]

Will determine which to choose for me (rubs hands) and taps feet and waits!

[BooStFeD]

Waiting patiently for results ;)

[Devious]

And me :D

[96redformula]

The fate of the Dual vs Quad core could be in your hands...Are you sure you are up to the task :) .

[gaspimp]

I'd also love to see the results. Like many others, I am debating E6750/E6850/Q6600 G0 for my next CPU. 3.2GHZ is all I can squeeze out of this E2160 :)

[1Day]

Really looking forward to these.

[TEDY]

is this G0?

[Mad1723]

All the 1333mhz FSB processors from Intel are G0 stepping and even some 1066mhz FSB will get it later this year :up:

Andre... you gonna test on air right? (1st at least anyways)

[freecableguy]

these will do 4ghz ORTHOS stable on air with the right cooler and ambients... ;)

Very nice, so it's capable of 4Ghz on air.
This will be my next chip in a month :D

4Ghz Orthos Stable Yummy

[rbsmontemor]

OMG!!

Waiting for more, Victor!

Rbs.

[DMH]

Hum Orthos seems to have a bug it detects 4500Mhz:p amazing results

[Supertim0r]

damn ! 4ghz prime stable :yepp:

could you monitor the temp with Coretemp ? Just wanna compare with Asus utility...

[erwinz]

G0 is very very nice.. :D

waaaaa..... its the time for 4GHZ prime stability.. very nice intel chips.. :D

[Envydia007]

that could be a 77C in Core temps?

[Danger30Q]

Any idea if other revisions besides the G0 will clock similar? I ask because I don't know if there is anything besides G0. Don't want to get stuck ordering and get some sucky revision.

[Kougar]

Hum Orthos seems to have a bug it detects 4500Mhz:p amazing results

Orthos does not check if the multiplier was lowered, it assumes it remains unchanged and only looks at the FSB, hence the difference.


Any idea if other revisions besides the G0 will clock similar? I ask because I don't know if there is anything besides G0. Don't want to get stuck ordering and get some sucky revision.

G0 IS the newest revision, and the only one that's been clocking to 4GHz on air without suicidal voltages.

[Nelly]

H'mm nice but I'm not that impressed with the temps & voltage needed to achieve it i.e. 1.57v & 69c. . . any chance of using TAT?

[XtremeTiramisu]

Asus Probe reads 68~69 degrees so that would be at least 75c + at the core.
It's considering on the hotter side even for quad cores. But keep in mind that ambient temp is also a very important role here considering he's testing 4Ghz on air with a Tuniq Tower 120. I'm preety certain that his location is in Taiwan by looking at his language version os XP in Tranditional Chinese so ambient temp over there is at least 30+ degrees 24/7. Even in western Canada here, the temp during the day gets up to 29 degrees and 22 degrees by midnight. My Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is having a hard timing keeping my E6700 at ~3760mhz and my Orthos isn't 8+ hours stables now for some reasons...

I also presume that both of his Tuniq Tower 120 and the E6850 IHS aren't lapped so thus higher temps than what you'll see from some lapped results.

[michaLcoughliN]

ok so its stable for 11 minutes of orthos run.. Umm hoping your testing this for at least a full day.

regardless. I want this over a quad :D

[Solarfall]

stating the obvious.. this is one kick ass chip.. omg

[AndreYang]

Low voltage 4G no problem

My ES 6850 is 4GHz Orthos stable for 8 hours with no problems ...
It is great to see, retail cpus are the same ...

G0 :bows:

intel up coming processors.. :party:

[ziddey]

much better voltage :)

as for g0 quads, they do exist, obr, although current results are es

m3kk, i've personally found large to be more suited. i've had overclock pass 27 hours small fft but have random reboots with large/blend. sure, it throws ram/chipset into the mix a bit more

[Jacky]

I thought that large would fit in conroe's 4mb L2 and thus it has become the standard, or something like this? :yepp:


1 hour orthos, 4ghz @1,48 is really nice, but wanna see 8hours+
what are the ambient temps?

still thanks for the results thus far, g0 should rock :up:

[BooStFeD]

G0 retail looks lovely :shocked:

I can not wait to get this chip into my loop.

[michaLcoughliN]

as of right now mostly B3 steppings are sold in north america.
july 22nd has been promised buy a few retailers thtat they will be g0 stepping.

Ooii ..... ! Coretemp screen shot please, it is the VID that we're looking for ! Not the temp.

[erwinz]

hehehe... guys its ok to post whole screenies.. :)

[TEDY]

OBR which shop?

[GAR]

small fft's andre please, thanks. 4ghz small fft stable would be amazing on air with low voltage.

[LogAn'sRun]

may be a noob question but is this chip worth the $100 over the 6750? And is the only way to get guaranteed GO stepping to wait to after 22/7???

[Bei Fei]

I think that my e6600 will get tossed aside for this.......pondering 4 or 2 hrmmmmmm

[gaspimp]

may be a noob question but is this chip worth the $100 over the 6750? And is the only way to get guaranteed GO stepping to wait to after 22/7???

small or large dosnt really matter. Even Blend is great

[OBR]

4GHz at 1.49V ... and my chip is ES, but retail will be here in two days ...

Chips are at stock in Germany, Czech republic, i think everywhere in Europe ...

Price for E6550, E6750 is great too! Very low ...

[PcCI2iminal]

Low voltage 4G no problem




WOW
nice chip :)

[TEDY]

q6600 already 300€ w00t :D
6850 around 240€
6750 around 180€
6550 around 170€

altho difference in price between 6550 and 6750 is too small.

[DMH]

But the higher multi in the E6X5X family is 9 right??

[XtremeTiramisu]

But the higher multi in the E6X5X family is 9 right??

Right, E6850 at x9 multi.

Great results:toast:..
something to really be enthusiastic about for a change,it exists...:D

[lawrywild]

Hopefully will replace my crappy e6600 with one of these :)

hopefully see somemore retail results soon...
350aud now for e6850.

[shimmishim]

yay! soon enough it'll be in america

[DShankar]

As of right now, I'm leaning for the E6850 over the Q6600...I don't think I'm alone ^_^

[michaLcoughliN]

im also purchasing E6850 over the Quad.

[Charley2020]

Can someone tell me where to buy in germany, and availibility???

[gLk*zaP]

Can someone tell me where to buy in germany, and availibility???

I have ordered mine from comtech.de. They claim since saturday morning to have it in stock, but didnt ship it yet. Sure there was the weekend, but i hope they change the status into shipping today. jes-computer.de has it listed as in stock too. But who knows if they both really have it... Might worth to wait another day or two, and then order at a better known retailer. Prices are pretty much the same everywhere, 260-280 Euro, boxed. Will edit here when mine shipped.

[OBR]

my is going to me from Germany now ...

[Charley2020]

OBR ... where did u order?

[xenolith]

These are showing up in europe two weeks before they will in the US?

[DShankar]

I believe they've released in a few places in Europe and Australia (judging by the residency of the people who have bought one).

[patrickadizzle]

When are these expected to be released?

July 22nd, the same date as the Quad Core price cut?

[michaLcoughliN]

rgr that

My E6850 has now finally shipped :) I should have it on Thursday, with a bit of luck already tomorrow. I dont want to advertise here, but before people ask again, i have ordered from www.comtech.de but i dont advise anyone else to order there. They seem to be very sucky, and only shipped mine after a few threatening emails... long story. And now they dont have any left in stock. It says expected July 13th.

[dpa]

omg.. that price is unbelieveable..

[gLk*zaP]

omg.. that price is unbelieveable..

Which price? 274€ in Portugal? I paid 279€ for mine now, cheapest on preorder is 254€ here, but gets in stock 2+ weeks.

true true but it goes to say if you are REALLY keen to get one you will get one from first batch

don't forget also that Intel's best CPUs batches come early...... :D

AndreYang where r u?

This is the only retail G0 hyped chip I've seen posted anywhere. Yet still no screen shots of 4 Ghz 12 hours prime. I plannedd to grab a G0 Q600, but it's starting to seem like hype again. My current Q6600 will do 3.3GHZ on air. If I can pull of 3.6Ghz on water, there may be no need for a G0 after all.

I plannedd to grab a G0 Q600, but it's starting to seem like hype again. My current Q6600 will do 3.3GHZ on air. If I can pull of 3.6Ghz on water, there may be no need for a G0 after all.

The newer Q6600 will clock just like the old ones i think.... Even if they give it a G0 stepping, I doubt that they will clock anywhere clocse to the E6X50 cpus just because it wouldnt make sense for Intel to do so.... As we all know, the 1066fsb cpus are faster clock per clock and if the $266 Q6600 clocks as well as the 1333fsb G0, then it makes it a better cpu than even the Q6850 ( $999 )..... Since its the same price as the E6850, it has to have some drawback to make the E6850 competitive....

I know overclockers is a small segment in Intels market but they are aware of this fact..... Just imagine what an E4300 with 4mb cache and no fsb wall will do to the E6600 market, and thats not even considering theres no diff in speed between 800fsb and 1066fsb cpus.....

These new cpus are nice clockers but unless I see them doing 600fsb+ without a sweat then Ill stick to my E6600 .... Im sure she can still Orthos at 4ghz :D

Are the early G0s really going to be better than the later ones :rolleyes:

[dinos22]

Are the early G0s really going to be better than the later ones :rolleyes:

3.6 at 1.32v is verrry good.

early steppings are usually ones which haven not been binned as agressively hence the likelihood of them Ocing higher on average than later revisions

[adamsleath]

so you are saying that later batches get worse?:confused:

or that you are more likely to get a good oc chip in an early batch 6750 or 6550...?
due to "non-aggressive" binning (sees a bin with a growly mouth on it :lol:)

dont set the vcore to auto.
i dont know if the p5k does the same like p5b, but my p5b will raise the vcore itself, if i set it to auto and raise the fsb.

maybe you can upload a pic with asus pc probe?
thanks for sharing ;)

[The Nemesis]

I guess I'm gonna have to run to Fry's and get one of these chips when they are available. Doesn't seem anyone is really gonna test what they can do. Though 3.6Ghz auto vcore 1Mb pi is impressive, it's nothing new. All my L6XXB chips can do that. One is currently in a P5K-VM, installed in the silverstone SG03, cooled by the silverstone NT06 (fan removed airflow provided by OCZ GameXtreem PSU), & running orthos @ 425 x 8 auto vcore which is 1.30v @load. I want to see orhtos/prime for at least 4 hours to be impressed & 12 to be convinced. 3.8-4Ghz orthos/prime please, otherwise it's just a b chip with lower tdp.

Sorry if my posted results are not as impressive as people here are used to. But i am just getting myself started in OC'ing at all, give me a day or two :) I know 3.6 with vCore auto isnt OMG, but i just noticed it, because without any extra work, 600mhz extra isnt that bad already for most standard users.

Bios is set to 1.500v atm, of course i dont use auto vCore normally. CPU-Z and PC Probe show the same in windows, even with Voltage Damper
enabled, there is still some vdroop.

Your results are nice, I think most of us are hanging on the edge waiting for some 4Ghz prime/orthos stability. Thast's what the G0 stepping has been rumored to do thus peeking most our inerest. Last year we were shown lots of 4Ghz Pi & 3DMark sreenshoots before the core 2 duo was released. I was disappoineted when my first E6600 would only do 3.2ghz 12 hours orthos/prime stable @1.5vcore 1.464v@load. I just don't want that expirence again between ES & retail.

[gLk*zaP]

I know everyone wants ~4ghz and especially some proven stability, but i dont even have the cpu for 12 hours hehe. And i understand your opinion. Give me a bit more time to play around, i hope i can do 4.0 stable, but at the moment it doesnt look like it. Also my current RAM is holding me back a bit.

I'm running out of ideas on how to make a better thermal interface between my block and cpu. A cooler running cpu might just fix that, lol.

[jVIDIA]

Anyone with a P5B Dlx + E6x50 G0 CPU ?

[sofarfrome]

dont set the vcore to auto.

Can't agree more. There are 3 voltage settings that should always be set manually the first time you boot into bios after setting defaults: vcore, vdimm, and FSB voltage. For the first 2 determine what the manufacturer suggest for stock operation and for FSB (there are several terms used by different mobo manufacturers) I always set to the lowest setting that is not auto. Then adjust from there as your OC increases. It is important to take control of these settings away from the bios.

looking good so far. with the overclocking of the E6850 :D

[adamsleath]

well; it's just like the other ones...mine is stuck on "pciinit" error...as were all the other bioses i tried.

pulled everything out of the board and tried to boot...
put evrything back in...it gets past the detram message soo i presume the 1 stick of ram is not the problem.

i think the board is incompatible
mine is a strikerE-QQ 03/05/2007...maybe its the rev of the board...dont know how many revs of striker extreme there are? ah, mine is marked rev 1.00G...bummer.
...i havent tried 0701 or 0901 bioses - both of which were "supposed" to add 1333 fsb 'functionality'

i could be missing something...but i have no clue as to what to do next...
besides trying a p5k :doh:

so who wants an untested 6850 ? (joking)

i could have a doa chip...
the mobo must be fine because ive booted it umpteen times with the 4300...

but with 6850...NO BIOS screen (or post)

but ; i did get a posting screen with 1202...but it would not enter the bios when i hit del....it just hung....and i got a cmos error message .....which is why i thought to try different bioses. :shrug:

well that'll learn me for getting things i dont really need....
mmm might have to sell it and get a quad core kentsfield after all that....but that's just silly.

[gLk*zaP]

Very sorry to hear that adamsleath :(

I will redo the thermal paste on mine now, remove the liquidmetal stuff, and go
back to arctic silver 5. With 1.6v yesterday i was getting ~80°, which doesnt feel good.

[adamsleath]

thx; me too.

what's with the liquid metal - i thought it was good?

[gLk*zaP]

what's with the liquid metal - i thought it was good?

It was a pita to put on, doesnt work so great with a q-tip imho. I guess real pro's can put it on just fine, but i guess i used too much of it.
Now getting way too high temps. Also doesnt help much not it seems no software at all can read my exact temps.
Will try to get it removed with some cleaning alcohol and such cleaning pads for glasses.

[adamsleath]

mmm not so easy to apply it seems.

[ShoNuff]

@adamsleath - That's not cool that the processor doesn't work. I was hoping with a new bios and a bios reset that the processor would work? This is strange b/c it should be compatible. If I come across something that I think well help I will be sure to let you know.

@pLk*zaP - I "borrowed" my wife's make up brush to apply the Liquid Metal Pro. It is a very small brush with angled bristles. I imagine a small paint brush would work as well.

[gLk*zaP]

@pLk*zaP - I "borrowed" my wife's make up brush to apply the Liquid Metal Pro. It is a very small brush with angled bristles. I imagine a small paint brush would work as well.

Got no wife i could borrow from :) But i got it done. I applied tons of ArctiClean 1+2 (some special stuff to remove thermal paste).
At first it seemed it doesnt do anything to the liquidmetal, but after a did that over and over again, i got it. Now applied Arctic Silver 5,
and letting orthos run on stock for a few hours, to "dry it in". My temps still seem to be very weird. Stock load 63° in TAT, tjunction in CoreTemp 85°.

Any ideas why that is? I cant believe those are true. At the moment i have my case open, and a desk fan blowing at it too.

[adamsleath]

what do you mean by wierd?

if you think you are getting 'fluctuating' temps from the cpu i'd ease back on the volts.

[gLk*zaP]

Getting 25° idle at the moment, isnt that way to low to be true? Using TAT and SpeedFan, both show it this low.
Then again, when i oc up to 3.6ghz, i already reach 80° on both cores, running orthos.
When i see other peoples screens, they are below 70° usually, under load. I guess i really need a new cooler soon,
as much as i like the Noctua with the 2x 120mm fans, it doesnt cool so much, its just quiet it seems.

[Ambro]

@ adamsleath - 6750 works fine with 1301 ....... maybe you got a dud chip, can you try another or re-flash the bios again?

[Ambro]

36C after 25 mins of orthos & MB temp @ 32C all at stock. :clap:

i just didnt think the new chip was bad...so that left the mobo as the culprit.
i've removed the cmos battery...strikkkker

I know this is a 6850 thread but anyway...

6750 running 3.2G (2.66 stock) max temp 45C after 2 1/2 hours of orthos. Mind you I haven't had the need to turn the heating on in the room ...

I have a good feeling this chip can take a whole lot more but I'll set it up on 3.2G for a week to see how it runs in the real world.

3.52 ghz at 1.425v for a few hours now stable with orthos, 70° on the cores tho.
adamsleath: i had those crazy low temps in the first few hours too, dunno why.
They dissappeared after a while :( Now i have 28-30 idle, with ~23 ambient.

good to know; so i dont freak out when it happens to me.
ive gotta call ms or get a vista upgrade for activation..dang....or find another dodgy key :rolleyes:

[scwam]

Coretemp just plain sucks at times. The only way you can make sure it's calibrated correctly against actual is to have a good digi-probe thermometer against your long unplugged system. You would have previously set your vcore and cpu speed to as low as possible that allows you to get into bios (ie, my opty would be 0.950 and 800mhz). Once you immediately get into bios you check it's temp against your probe, should be the same. Unplug the system and after an hour or more reboot, go into windows and immediately run coretemp. If coretemp reports lower than the probe (ambient) then coretemp simply is off. I've notice many times on different systems that coretemp has often reported lower than ambient, even when my vcore was at stock. It's good sometimes but can be buggy at other times. My feeling is that it 'seems' the get fairly acurate once the temps get above 40c (at least according to various trials I've done using a extremely small thermistor against the naked die).

[largon]

Yup, I've seen newest CoreTemp give way too low temps, at the minimum of 8ºC inaccuracy.

[irev210]

The newer Q6600 will clock just like the old ones i think.... Even if they give it a G0 stepping, I doubt that they will clock anywhere clocse to the E6X50 cpus just because it wouldnt make sense for Intel to do so.... As we all know, the 1066fsb cpus are faster clock per clock and if the $266 Q6600 clocks as well as the 1333fsb G0, then it makes it a better cpu than even the Q6850 ( $999 )..... Since its the same price as the E6850, it has to have some drawback to make the E6850 competitive....

I know overclockers is a small segment in Intels market but they are aware of this fact..... Just imagine what an E4300 with 4mb cache and no fsb wall will do to the E6600 market, and thats not even considering theres no diff in speed between 800fsb and 1066fsb cpus.....

These new cpus are nice clockers but unless I see them doing 600fsb+ without a sweat then Ill stick to my E6600 .... Im sure she can still Orthos at 4ghz :D



G0 is worlds better than B2, please dont make stuff up.

[ziddey]

G0 is worlds better than B2, please dont make stuff up.

QFT

q6600 g0 will be harder than dual core counterpart is that probability goes down since there's two chips (multiplicative factor or whatever its called), and that it'd require heavier duty power delivery --> vtt.

otherwise, it's still a g0 and still worlds better on average than b3 quad cores and b2 dual's.

coretemp inaccuracies aside, the temp on the chip (6850) must be cool because i notice very little by way of warmth when touching the tuniq's copper base during orthos....so suffice to say it runs cool.
my old 6700 b1 wood heat up considerably to the touch....ctemps@ idle @20c about 42c@3.4 & the heat would radiate :hehe:

[gLk*zaP]

Yes but thats whats so weird. Using RMClock i´ve seen my E6850 start to throttle when it reaches 82° on the cores.
A bit higher, and the system resets. And thats just with 1.50-1.55 vcore. I cant run orthos or TAT because ot the heat.
System is stable for everything else, playing games, watching hdtv movies.
Would be normal if i actually would reach 82°, but when i put my finger on my heatsink, it is totally cool, not even really warm.

[gLk*zaP]

I have kinda given up on reaching 4ghz on air with my E6850.

Redone the thermal paste and the whole airflow yesterday, now my temps are ok.
~30° idle, ~65° under orthos load, with ambient temp ~27°.
But i cant get higher than 3.52ghz with 1.5v vCore, and get orthos to run stable.
So i see the reason i cant go any higher on the FSB more in the vCore than the temps.
If i go any higher on the voltage, the system still boots, and i can run superpi and
play games, but its not orthos stable, getting an error after just a few seconds.
I guess my personal E6850 isnt one of those who like higher vCore much then,
but i am still very happy with it. Even at stock it performs very good. I love it :)

Will leave it 24/7 on 3.40 ghz with only 1.35v now, with speedstep etc enabled. More than good enough for me.

Folks,

After following this thread, I decided to put together a system with a P5K-deluxe Asus mobo and a E6850 cpu. Thanks for the good info.

I booted up last night for the first time and my problem is that Cpu-Z (see attached) reports the CPU running at 2 GHz. It shows the multiplier as 6, which I believe should be 9.

I am setting the FSB freq. manually in the BIOS as well as the multiplier to 9. Also the BIOS system info for the processor shows correct information, FSB 1333, 3GHz, min ratio 6, max ratio 9.

I tried the latest BIOS (official 0404 and beta 0501) from ASUS and it makes no difference.

The RAM I am running is G.SKILL DDR2 800. (4x1GB). Vista 64bit.

Any idea what could be wrong? Maybe there is BIOS setting that is doing this?

Thanks

[lawrywild]

That would be because you have EIST enabled, load the cpu and you'll see it go up to 3Ghz.

Thanks lawrywild. Will check that out when I get home.
