Nehalem Overclocking @ XS

I would like to see some max FSB clocks on this cpu it would help us determine what to expect of the non extremes and how they will clock

Awesome work FUGGER!!! :up:

Max bclk of ~220, expect way lower though for most chips.

Great numbers Fugger , I see WRs falling quickly :D

yeah around 200+ for baseclock.

Impresive chip i didn't expèct such high MHz right on launch.

Fugger is there a limiting factor? vcore is pretty low the chip doesnt like more volts? multiplier limited?

The chips have a max frequency and it seems to be the same on all boards, going colder or adding more volts does not help.

AM3 loves bandwidth and extra cores
should be a nice figure
cant wait to see it

reviews are about to hit the web in 15 minutes woot :D

that's like AMD used to be
when you reach a limit just forget about it lol....eeeek

Great work Fugger!!

Keep the info coming!

Nice Man

very very Amazing !!!!!

:shocked:

Nice Charles ! Keep them coming :D

I've been struggling with that decision; i love my ep45-ud3p so much, but RE kicked so much ass for x48.
also, is there any difference in ex58-ud5 and ex58 extreme besides one fet and an outrageous nb cooler?

I'm also interested in your opinions of the boards you've played with Charles...what do you think of the R2E?:shrug:

lol people don't get your hopes up - you can't up the voltage on the two non- extreme versions of i7... not very overclockable :(

nice vcore lol fugger!
keep it up man :D

Simply amazing Fugger :clap: Thanks for those results, eXtreme as usuall

Grats very sexy.

I wanna hear about how useful turbo mode is. And how the wattage cap affects the non-extreme overclocks. Not complaining just anxious pouting.

OMG man, this is a family forum:rofl::ROTF::rofl::ROTF::rofl::ROTF::rofl:

Of course you can adjust the voltage on the non-extreme's as well.

Nice results.. core i7 seems to run damn god :)

pretty sure during my comparisons with a qx9650 vs dual core i found quads slightly edge out dual cores at some frequencies for some odd reason :confused:

Really? I thought AM3 was a bandwidth hog really. I've seen it gain far more in terms of memory bandwidth as opposed to cpu speed or cores :shrug:

Probably due to bandwidth and latencies, Dino. Were the tests ran in identical test environments?

AM3 is not a multithreaded application and can therefor not benefit from multi-core processors. It's the bandwidth that plays a role here, not the addition of two cores.

I can confirm this.
I've noticed it when I was reviewing the QX9650 and the E8400.
Both on the same platform, same settings ( exactly the same BIOS settings ), fresh Windows XP SP2 installations, drives, drivers, etc.
