Very nice one. Is it one from your sig ? Voltages, temps ?

[[cTx]Philosophy]

where from?

[principino1984]

daaaaaamn!!!! :slobber:

awesome!!!

[r3w4]

How high does it go with more volts and what's your ram at? That looks like it could beat in dual core.

[Repoman]

Cooper: yeah it's the one from the sig. Voltage was 1.4v and temps were cool on sunday morning, so I could hit that speed with nice volts- normally takes 1.425

Philosophy- it's from monarch

Principino- thanks :D

r3w4- I think it'll do up to ~3.1 with 1.525 or 1.55v. RAM is on a 140 divider for 231MHz, 2.5-3-2-6.. I'm gonna open the window and go for some high clocks!

[Repoman]

BTW this is what I managed earlier today.. couldn't run both at the same time, and it crashed a few minutes later, but it's pretty cool nonetheless I suppose :)

edit: OK, priming at 3.1GHz 1.568v CPU-Z (1.68v actual :eek:) temps are 40C. I'm not gonna let it go long, 1.68 is a bit excessive, if it does the first 6 tests I'll call it quits

nvm, 3.1 failed after 4 minutes at 1.68v.. good for 3ghz on low volts, but not much else. Oh well! Still good for awesome speeds and cool temps, i'm 100% happy

[VulgarHandle]

nice timings on the zx with that speed

I think that I hate you! :D
Awesome CPU...I call dibs whenever you decide to sell it :toast:

[jakedeez]

nice man - looks like you found where it hits the wall and pulled back just right :)

[SoF]

for watercooled these are some rather good results. not what I would call xtreme but at least very very good :) I like the low voltages you just need to get the 3 GHZ. I really saw very few with such low voltz on 3 GHZ - congratz on that nice chip :toast:

[Dave338]

@WNED

I guess the 165 that is arriving me is quite as good as this xD

salu2.

[cheap]

wow!!! great cpu. what volts r u giving your g.skill at those timings?

[v0dka]

I still hate you for not selling it to me.

j/k ;)

[Jamo]

very nice cpu, these 06 steppings continue to show greatness :)

[r3w4]

I can't believe the cpu just hits a dead wall after 3GHz with that voltage. Maybe there's some subtiming tweaking that can be done.

[Repoman]

Thanks everyone ;)


I still hate you for not selling it to me.

j/k ;)

That was a different one anyway, needed a massive 1.5v for 3GHz :rolleyes:

I know :eek: I would've thought 3.2 would be possible. I still don't think the mount is 100% right, I'm gonna see if I can pick up some of that liquid metal thermal paste- I think the extra 2-3C could mean quite a bit with this one

[Cooper]

Liquid metal is nice stuff - have to put some on mine too. gives ~3-5C improovement over AS5

[SoF]

well the 3GHZ wall is something you can read about in many german forums.
many ppl can hit the magic 3 GHZ but starting at this point almost nobody is able to get any higher, no matter which volts.
I talked to somebody testing 3800+ under phase - he hits 3150MHZ primestable with some processors but never got higher. RAM, board, everything could give him more but the processor(s) just refuses to prime.
I still think this is something that has to do with the way processors are designed and produced - the 90nm simply can not handle more clocks stable in most cases. Don't quote me, this is just my personal opinion but the 3ghz wall isn't the hardest thing anymore, the really hard thing is to get higher.
in fact this is what I experienced many times: 3 GHZ prime with no problems on venice and opteron but starting there a prime was always hard to get. less than 1.5V @3GHZ always but 1.7V for 3080MHZ...on phase...
I would love to see some MAXED OUT pi. From what I know: you always can go higher with pi than with any other benches.
