X3360 % Dfi X48

[X2beach]

The Fun Begins Tommorow!

[Darkstormz]

Cant wait for you results...

[X2beach]

Lets hope its better then the Q9450

[graysky]

X3360 is the xeon version of the Q9550.

@op - where did you find anyone with an x3360 in stock?

[sofarfrome]

buy.com has them

[X2beach]

Well just got my new X3360 which is a 8.5x333 I only get 8x333. so my system boots up at 2.6 stock.. the entire reason I got this cpu was for the higher multiplier. I am on the lastest 3/20/08 bios

I need a new bios anyone got a Beta bios to help?

[graysky]

@X2 - I think you're out of luck until DFI releases "official" support for the Q9550. When will that happen... not soon enough :)

On a related topic: can your machine enter suspend (S3) mode? Have a look at this discussion (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=28&threadid=2170695&FTVAR_STKEYWORDFRM=&STARTPAGE=2&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear).

[jimmyz]

check and see but I know people flashed the X38 with the new X-48 bios, the latest bios's for the X38 support half multi's , maybe you can flash to the 3/14/08 bios for the X-38 and use your missing .5 multi.

[X2beach]

Fixxed that issues had to enable cpu n/2 setting

Still not overclocking very good

[RunawayPrisoner]

So.. how far have you been able to push the chip?

[X2beach]

Same Exact Results.. Nothing Different. I just had another DFI X48 Deliveried so I am going to put it in a few minutes

[RunawayPrisoner]

I mean... exactly, what did you get the chip to run on so far? 400 x 8.5?

[X2beach]

Stock, Andthing more OCCt Crashed and that will alot of CPU VTT

[begrip]

woho this processor i just gotta have in my collection :D

[X2beach]

There is something wrong I getting ready to replace my motherboard with another DFI X48 I bought..

[X2beach]

Just tried 3.3 GHZ Still no love.. OCCT Crashes in 3seconds

[RunawayPrisoner]

OCCT is picky alright. Try tweaking your other voltage options. I wouldn't have gotten 3.80GHz to be OCCT stable without tweaking other voltages.

[X2beach]

I think I have Tried about every voltage combo I can think of

[RunawayPrisoner]

Try tweaking GTL values?

[X2beach]

I tried some GTL.. I dont really understand what to put those at

[RunawayPrisoner]

Try to keep them somewhere around 89% of each other (lowest/highest = 89/100) to 111% of each other (lowest/highest = 111/100)

[X2beach]

I am stable now at 3004 wow 200mhz overclock.. 353bus voltage tweaked jsut a very little from stock..

[X2beach]

Finally I am stable at 3.8Ghz Had to bump the Vcore to 1.4

[RunawayPrisoner]

Ouch... 3.80GHz... 450 FSB?

Incorrect. Run in the mid sixties on the DFI. 45nm tables are complely different than 65nm.

[X2beach]

Ok, I am stable at 3803 447FSB 1.4 Vcore and 1.6 CPU VTT NB 1.6 SB 1.64

Getting little hot ...

BUT

tommorow DHL i dropping me off a nice present to fix that!

[RunawayPrisoner]

Incorrect. Run in the mid sixties on the DFI. 45nm tables are complely different than 65nm.

You mean 63%, right? Actually, going over 63% may help. I don't know why... but every time I lowered that value, the system would become more and more unstable.

[X2beach]

3.9 Stable now 2 hours on OCCT so far

[RunawayPrisoner]

Try 4. :) That should be 472.

[X2beach]

Have to wait till tommorow when my NEw Super cooler Arrives,

or should I say in the next 8 hrs I will have it damn its 2:30AM

[RunawayPrisoner]

lol. Okay. Good night then? Go to bed, and rest up for the battle tomorrow. :)

[X2beach]

I can run 3.6 with 1.37 Volts now..

[X2beach]

OCCT Stable for 10hr 3708 at 1.36V

[RunawayPrisoner]

Hmm... I wonder how that chip will run on my board...
This same board got two X3350/Q9450 chips to 4GHz already... and the second one seems like it can stay there as well.

[X2beach]

I think the BIOS on the DFI X48 has voltage issues.. Hopefully the bios gets better
