• Intel Xeon E3110 Q750a158 2V7**** / ***414
• CPU Cooling: Dtek Fuzion Rad Tower Box
• Asus Blitz Formula 1402 bios
• 128MB Gainward FX5200 PCI
• 2x1GB Corsair 10000C5D Dominator dual channel kit
• Memory cooling: 120x25mm Thermaltake 81cfm fan
• 80GB Hitachi 7K80 SATAII
• Pioneer DVD-RW
• 1200W Silverstone OP1200
• WinXP Pro SP2 Nlite Fully Updated.

Nice low AUTO vcore at 1.152v in bios with Coretemp VID = 1.0875v. So I set bios vcore to lowest available option = 1.1v for 1.056v idle/1.048v load with Loadline Calibration disabled.

E3110 Coretemp VID = 1.0875v
Bios set AUTO vcore = 1.152v compared to my 2x E8500 AUTO vcore of 1.184v and 1.192v both with 1.1125v Coretemp VID

Since my last setting in bios for my E8500 was testing Real Temp idle calibration tests http://i4memory.com/showpost.php?p=86728&postcount=3, I thought I'd do the same for E3110 to compare with my E8500.

Realtemp v1.1 Idle & Load test

Seems Coretemp v0.96.1 over reports idle temps by 7-10C

E3110 @ stock 9x333FSB at 1.1v bios set vcore

Seems the E3110 receives 0.08v less vcore than my E8500 at same bios set 1.1v vcore. Maybe slightly more amperage used on E3110 than E8500 ???

CPUZ reported vcore = 1.056v idle and 1.048v load.

Very promising cpu as the low vcore end

3207Mhz at 1.048v load

3300Mhz at 1.048v load

http://fileshosts.com/intel/Asus/Bli...ime95_load.png

4005Mhz at 1.256v load

With loadline calibration disabled (vdroop enabled). Notice what CPU VTT is set ;)

4203Mhz at 1.360v load
loadline calibration enabled (1.368v idle/1.360v load)

Prime95 v25.6 ~6+ hrs min mark

Max FSB tests

Seems my Asus Blitz Formula might be limiting my FSB, as my best FSB clocking E6600, E6700, E6850, 8500 and now E3110 all seem to hit a ceiling at around 530-535FSB for Super Pi 32M. This E3110 max bootable FSB into memtest86+ is around same as the lower of my 2x E8500 Q740A493T max FSB of 540FSB and 555FSB so around 540FSB.

Unoptimised Super Pi 32M run just to test FSB.

nice chips

nice report

thanks guys :)

Max FSB tests continued....
Looks like this E3110 has a slightly higher max FSB for Super Pi 32M at least, topping out at 545FSB straight boot from bios to complete Super Pi 32M run. With max cpu validation matching my E8500 Q740A493T on same Asus Blitz Formula at 555FSB

Nice cpu,

not cheap though?

Bought it just days before the price hike AUD$295 or US$275. Now they cost AUD$399+ or US$374 :eek:

Nice results and write-up. Thanks!!!

Where are you paying that much?? http://www.frontierpc.com/ProductDet...E3110&version=

Price hikes due to lack of supply heh

Last run on Windows 2008 as I found out PCmark/3Dmark Vantage don't recognise Windows 2008 and need to install Vista Ultimate SP1 64Bit later.

So max CPUZ Validation @1.48v idle vcore hitting my max 32M PI stable FSB of 545FSB so no idea if FSB limited me or vcore or both heh. I was running 4x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 as well :)

Now to install Vista Ultimate SP1 64bit :)

I thougt all Xeon's where C1?

only Xeon X3320, X3350, X3360 yorkfields are C1
