This chip just seems to love volts, definitely a keeper.
Well, that was the early Northwoods. The newer northies can take it. On a Prescott, however, it is most impressive/insane :D
According to the neat program GORKS OC-Tools, a 2.8E @ 4GHz and 1776mV dissipates just over 200W.. :)
mine is something like 100W!
so that chip has got to be hot!!
Yes.. It's obviously a bug :)
lol, i didnt pick up on that! :(
WRAAAAAAAAAAA!
nice job fugger
At the risk of sounding like an ass...if the thing isn't stable enough to complete any benchmark (which is obviously the case since people have been asking for some results for the past 2 weeks, and have received nothing), who cares if it’s at 6Ghz...In all actuality it doesn’t even have the processing power of a 1gig system (even lower for that matter). Its like a roided out toughman that has 50 inch arms of pure muscle, but yet can't curl 10 pounds (or at least if he tried he starts convulsing, swallows his tongue, and passes out)...seriously whats the big deal.
I mean, I am on my way to 34Ghz, but until I can get it stable enough to bench., I will refrain from gloating and receiving accolades for my achievements.

:wierd: :am:
Someone verify that CPU-Z, we may have a new champ! :D
Don't worry, we give everyone over half a month to produce one stable benchmark result. :cool:

We are all about wringing that last ounce of performance from our machines!
Sweet, but if the thing can't perform at the bootable speed...then what? Booting up windows long enough to take a screen of CPUZ is all that is needed to demonstrate the stable machines of tomorrow? ;) I have dabbled in the OC'ing business (a total novice compared to you guys), and get a huge kick out of it. But the only time I really feel like I achieved something worthy of announcement is when I can produce some bench. results...if a system isn't stable enough to complete at least one (fairly modern or valid) benchmark then all it really represents is a few high numbers in CPU-Z. But as Hallowed said, people are given around half a month to post some bench. scores, so hopefully we will see some really amazing performance from this hulk of a system. But until that, it seems silly to pretend that something amazing was achieved...its all fluff, no substance.Quote:

Either you understand it, or you don't, whats practical, or reasonable about a person Jumping into a car and going hundreds of miles an hour to see how fast he can do a 1/4 mile? Can look at many things done, and say sensless, or ridiculous, and you might be right. Eye of the beholder I guess, but no matter, we are still looking at a processor that can most likely slam out some work very close to the 6ghz mark..
To debate the usefullness of any overclock, stable, or not, or a hardware mod thats really not practical, just isn't going to get you anywhere on this forum :D
Well if you are going to compare overclocking to souping up a car, wouldn't the 1/4 mi. be equivalent to the benchmark. A car gets beefed up and gets loads of theoretical horse power in order to prove itself on the track...which is amazing to watch. But no gear head takes pride in claiming his twin-turbo, supercharged, NOS fueled racer has 1500HP but can't make it once around the block let alone attain an 8-9 sec. 1/4 miles. The 1/4 mile is what defines the performance of the machine, not the theoretical horse power.
Anyways, I am not trying to "get anywhere" by disagreeing with how amazing a CPU-Z reading is. I was brought into this thread by reading an article on the Inquirer about 2 weeks ago, and have seen a continuing trend of people basically begging for benchmark results and not seeing anything...so obviously I am not the only odd ball newb in this forum wondering why this macho machine hasn't produced any performance results yet. I am not sitting here saying that OC'ing is stupid...its not at all...I find it very exciting even at the lower air-cooled level...but attaining an awesome OC speed should coincide with actual performance, not just a CPU-Z number.
In short...Fugger please post some bench. scores at 6Ghz so we can bow to your phenomenal skills and truly :toast: to your achievement.
Technically, getting into windows takes longer than that 1/4 mile run.. so in and of itself just getting the screeny is a bench.
Not that we dont understand what you are saying of course, otherwise we wouldnt run stuff like super-pi and 3dmark would we? ;)
I regret to say I agree with Goonie a little bit, I think Tom's FX is a higher achievement at the moment, because he has official benches up. I dont want to take away from you frugger, I trust you will get some real results, especially with that new 3.8, but I think CPU-Z shots are a little overrated. Just looking at the pics of your rig though, and those screens shots, I still bow to you....
When you are after the highest CPU-Z shot you never actually boot the thing up and load windows at that record speed! Clockgen is the tool. The rig needs to hold the record speed only for a second or two. Thats all that's needed for a screenshot.Quote:

That also means that there is usually quite a difference between 'max benchable' and 'max clock'. for instance the 3.6 D0 me and The Stilt were playing w/ wouldn't pass 1M SPi higher than 5.4G yet it could produce a CPU-Z shot of 6009MHz (6.1G too but it was lost cos of user error :D).
its more fun the way I mentioned :D
Or you could let it run 8-9 seconds hehe
With my 2.8A I can sun SuperPi8M at 5.575Ghz, but I won't get a screenie at 5.7Ghz. Propapbly the bandwidth on the memory causes the instant shutdown after raising the clockspeed, even though the cpu would be "OK" for a second?Quote:

SO HOW DOES IT HAPPEN that THE Unknown gets banned for spitting crap all over the place, and them someone called phenom registers and praises everyone... And by incident they are both from the UAE ???
coincidence? me thinks not
Banning someone on the basis of where they live would be a bad thing. Bannings are a rather rare occurence here, you either have to do something pretty nasty, or completely dis-regard the rules, and do so repeatedly. Neither of which Phenom has done.Quote:

Dood, could you be more obvious? You even capitalize UNKNOWN like UNKNOWN did. And asking for the checksum thing? Jesus H.
