That's sacriledge!:rofl:
No, can't overclock at all.
Run's the old Pentium Pros at 50mhz..:p:
i drive over and pick up that SR2, you won't even have to spend postage....
sound good :surf: ?
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
@Miravo - +1 with eva2k - i think you need to try your hand at a diff. cpu for a while.
Did you check your mobo socket? - make sure no bent pins?

# 3003B287 | Core i7 980X [6C 6T] @ 6629.6MHz | 1.84 | ASUS RIIIE
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:
Michal ;)
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.
can i ask you guys what the average stock vcore you guys are seeing with your i7-980x's?
just curious as to some of the 980's posted here and what their vid's were?
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+
no i mean the stock vcore for your cpu's at defaults 3.3Ghz,what the MB sets for auto at stock
cool thanks.so your is probably around 1.16v
mine is 1,19v and load gives me 1.16v
EDIT-actually i was looking at some of your SS in the other thread and ET6
shows your stock vcore as 1.06875v,wow you have a nice chip
