I recently bought a 3005F and it's nowhere near as good as my 3003B. The 05 can only do 4.2 on the same voltage the 03 takes to do 4.5, both HT on.

So far so good.. :)
just booted mine up..
Vid - is 1.16 :)
After a 4 hour burn in at stock pushed to 4160mhz..
Bclk - 160 - Cpu Multi 25 - Turbo On - HT On - Mem Multi 10x
Vcore - 1.28v in bios. 1.264 with Cpu-z , Vtt - 1.25 - Dram 1.62v
Motherboard - Gigabyte UD9
Ram - Patriot Viper II 2000 mhz Cl8 6GB kit. running at 1600mhz cl 8-8-8-24.
So far tested wprime and super Pi 32M and looks to be stable.. still playing around but was impressed with a boot into windows 7 at 4160Mhz with only 1.28V in bios.:)
is this good or do i have a average chip ?
cheers and thanks for reading :)

Wow Nemesis, nice setup! 980 and 3 470's - beautifull clocks and 3dmv score!
I looked at your thread - What temps where you seeing under load?

Edit - Think I found it - -112 to -116 (pot temp or cpu case?)

wow,this is getting scary.ive got one on the way and these things a dropping like flies.
did you do anything out of the ordinary?like run it with just 1c or 2c with HT off?
any Xtreme OCing when it died?if you could provide some info that would be great.thanks

Guys,

I am confused now, What is the difference between a Westmere DP (ie X5670) and a Westmere (Gulftown)single socket i7-980x ?
Both has LGA1366, so can I plug in a X5670 into a Gigabyte X58A-UD7 with a X58 chipset ? I saw a couple of X5650 working with X58 chipset motherboard above.
I thought that the X56xx can only work with Tylersburg chipset aka 5500 chipset .

Can somebody help explain this ?

Xeons can work with most X58 motherboards.

You can use X5670 on GA-UD7 with BOIS-F3 or later. I've been using a X5650 on this MB for a good while.

Thanks Zalbard and Sam Oslo for the info,
So, both the Xeon X5650 and i7-980x are equivalent ? Does somebody know what the difference between the 2 cpu ?

Sam,
What stepping is your X5650 working with GA-UD7 ? Can you use the B0 stepping or ES sample ?
There is some mobo mfg that does not support B0 Xeon ie
Tyan mobo does not support Xeon B0 stepping

His X5650 is a B1 I beleive.
No, X5650 and i7-980X aren't the same or even close.
i7-980x is a unlocked single QPI gulftown
X5650 is a locked dual QPI westmere with I think a 20 multi and 21 on turbo
Tyan dual socket boards shouldn't have issues with B0 Westmere's unless your talking about a single socket Tyan board and in that case Iwould ask why you'd want one?:D
Most GB and Asus boards will run a dual QPI westmere.
The EVGA boards need a simple wire mod to run them.
06-12-2010, 01:56 PM
Sam_oslo

@wtfdc
A few MBs need hard mod for X56xx, but GA UD7 doesn't need it.

My X5650 is B1 ES. It is a retail stepping, but I've seen B0's on GA UD7 too. If you get one of the latest beta BIOSs it will unlock the Uncore, and the CPU will OC better too.

EDIT:
This CPU belongs home on a SR-2 actually, but It has been running fine on UD7 while I'm waiting for it. You should consider the SR-2 if you haven't ordered the UD7 yet, then you can OC tow CPUs. ;)

Can you point me where to get the latest Beta Bios for GA UD7 ?

Here you go http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/giga...st-bios-28441/. You can get the GA-X58A-UD7- F7p BIOS.

@sam
What is an SR-2 ?
@movieman
Thanks for the info above, but my friend did try to install a dual socket westmere X5670 B0 on a dual socket Tyan mobo and the mobo would not post (aka no video),, even though he had upgraded to the latest bios. At the Tyan support website, Tyan explicitly said that B0 Westmere will not boot and be supported , only B1 and above will work

I have bad luck :(

Firstly my A0 Westmere died few months ago, later I got some i7 980X B1 ES'es which are crappy :( My first retail box i7 980x has got Cold Bug at - 110*C and was crappy, second retail box died after 15 minutes, third retail box is the most crappy Gulftown which I ever have got and my forth retail box is dead out of box, never used...

Can someone beat me? :D

I have a lot of boards bro ;) and those CPUs die / are dead on different boards :rolleyes:

What is really interesting, the forth boots ONLY on Rampage II Extreme but it CAN'T ENTER OS, on other boards (even on other Asus boards like R3E, P6T DLX, P6T WS PRO it doesn't boot at all).

I am waiting for new i7 980x, my last chance and if it fails, I am going to play with 1156 and AM3 :down:

I'm also with Eva and SteveRo, You dont have hand to this cpu :confused: How can You kill so many 980 ? I push vcore above 1.9v to gulf and it's still a live. One from my test, go to owner and die in about two weeks, hmm dual core without ht can easy do this ? Maybe its good time to try something "new" like you said 1156. But I think Michal, You can show something on amd :up:

Go ;)

My ES i7 980x B1 which got even up to 2.1 vcore, worked on 1,2 cores etc. is still alive... and it is one of my first Gulftowns... Other ES i7 980x B1 which were tortured in the same way (maybe not 2.1 vcore but 2.0v :D) are also completely alive and I use them for few months. Those retails are one big sh*t... this is just a joke... Intel come on... give us new revision... all my Gulftowns worked on the same motherboards... it's not my fault (maybe I don't have skill for overclocking but I know how to boot up CPU at default :banana:) and not other hardware... one retail is still working though. From other topics I can see that those retails are VERY VERY fragile even more than C2D E8xxx series which I killed >30.

I have been benching my 980 at up to 1.6 vcore under chilled water (4.8 linx stable ht off).
Folks under ln2 or cascade often report much higher - 1.7 to 1.8+

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best at OCing Intel's. So I may be able to get more out of it. But I'm satisfied with this as a 24/7 setup, especially given the low CPU temps at this voltage and speed.
Anyone know of a GOOD document on how best to OC this chip with the REIII?
I've read numerous documents but have not found one that I thought was real good.

Any different parameter to consider when overclocking with this Gulftown's compared to Bloomfield's? or they are same?

As far i know... Uncore can be 1.5x of the memory frequency... anything else to know?

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks :) I just copied somewhat similar voltage from your screenshot and got a semi stable run with really small problem size lol

ur using a 980x at stock? Should of got a bloomfield 930 then hehe, Why dont u run a 4.0ghz stable clock for 24/7 use? ;)

With turbo boost my 980X at stock can do 3.6GHz for single-threaded programs, which is a lot better than a 930 at stock :)

For 4.0GHz stable I need 1.25v, which increases the maximum temperature to 60C under load, and exceeding 70C along with those graphics cards stressed at the same time. (Everything is on air)

Thus the performance gain of 10% is not worth the OC from stock.

By the way, 980X has 2 more cores and is 50% faster than a Bloomfield at the same frequency, for my MATLAB programs.

Mine is Batch 3005F801, currently testing @ stock...

By the way... how accurate is Core Temp for Gulftown? Max temp seeing while running LinX is 36C... Watercooled, and at 23C case temp. HT enabled.

3005F210 [ dead & gone in the beginning of its 2nd LN2 session ]
LN2, AquaMark 3: 6500MHz @ 6c12t @ 1.85V ( should be able to bench it even higher with more voltage or HT off, unfortunately the chip died, only had one short session with it :( )
LN2, 3D Mark Vantage: 6.05GHz @ 1.85V

3020A457 #1
LN2, PiFast max 6.05GHz
Nice CBB ( -150C ) & CB ( -175C ), pretty high for triple channel, crappy clocking & voltage scaling

3020A457 #2
LN2, AquaMark 3 max 6GHz @ 1.88V @ -120C
LN2, 3D Mark Vantage max 5.67GHz @ 1.75V @ -103C [ more voltage didn't help, lower temp later on didn't help as well ]
CBB -112C, CB -128C @ dual channel

I don't have any screenshots from the 3020's because I just gave those a quick shot to check how they clock, wasted 8L, and then I decided to keep the LN2 to test another 980X later.
Screenshots from my 3005F210 can be found in my thread @ Xtreme Overclocking, search with the keyword "palinka"

Yeah, I'm hoping mine is as good as yours... I want to run basically at 4.2GHz 24/7 with as minimal voltage as possible. :-)

Well I think my CPU is absolute c r a p.

I managed a 4256 Mhz (133Mhz x 32) run with Linx 20 passes, on 1.45 :eek: volts. Temps were around 50 celsius on water.

As soon as I bump it to 134 Mhz I get unstable, even with a 12 multi.

I would say the F is for fragile all right...

I can't even run at stock voltages/frequency anymore.. As soon as I do Windows 7 Ultimate locks up after about 3 mins, regardless of what I'm doing.

Dodge this batch.

I think I got a voltage hungry chip from batch 3020A477, as it wont stabilize in LinX @ 4.6ghz with HT enabled at any voltage below 1.54375v in the bios (1.541v idle in OS) for LinX. Needless to say it doesnt appear to scale voltage very well at all. I'll post the screenshot once the run is complete.

Alright, here is full out on the problem size or "all" selected. I had to bump the voltage one notch to keep it from giving a stop on error after 10 loops.

gflops are low it looks like you might be running an older version of linx that does not have the updated linpack libraries.

Hello BenchZowner :)
Did you have a chance to test this cpu on air ?
just got a 3005F758T myself !!
Damn it.. 2nd 980x with the same F batch.. now i got 2 :(
Anyhow will update as i start testing.. the cpu just arrived :)

Nope, not yet.
At the moment all my X58 motherboards are dead :down:
Should be able to get some new boards in a few days and then I'll give the 980Xs a ride.

Worlds first Golden "F" batch? 3005F803T

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1418660

Wasn't stable for too long, bad contact on block and reversed flow on inlet outlet.

This chip really doesn't like high clocks, but rather mid-high clocks and low voltage.

Currently at 4.2 200x21, 3400uncore and 2000mhz ram at C8-9-8, 1.318V and 1.34QPI, stable for LinX however I want, and Prime, although don't believe me if you want, I'm not going to waste time spending hours for stress testing.

Gaming + high load rendering, all stable.

There are lots of good 3005F's for air/water.

Same applies to the ones I have here now.
4.4GHz 24/7 on the ultra-120 is a breeze.

For me on my 3005F, on water. I'm running at 4.6ghz, 6C6T with 1.4275Vcore in bios, after LLC and droop CPUID reads as close to 1.45. Max temp with FFT 71F 2800RPM fan = 62c :D I love water cooling.
