wow, this is a great post! many thanks for all your work fhpchris! :)
I've got a L628B 3060 on the way, along with an A9W-Max. I have a couple of questions:
1) I have a Big Typhoon, is 3.6 @ <1.45Vcore a reasonable expecation (24/7 Orthos-stable gaming rig)?
2) Which memory in the ~$300USD range would you guys pull the trigger on? The Ballistix deal at Newegg is tempting but I get whacked with CA sales tax ($350-ish) and I'd rather do tighter timings in the 400-430fsb range than buy memory that goes 500-550fsb (I wouldn't need that 1:1 on a 975 board, right?). Your thoughts?
3) I'll be running SATA and PATA drives. Does it make sense to plug in a PATA drive with an older version of uGuru to lock the PCIE to 100MHz before updating to the newer uGuru?
4) Assuming that the temp sensors are way off on the A9W, how are you guys reliably measuring temps?
5) What are the safest Vcore and temps on air-cooling with this setup?
Thanks ;)

Most definitely!

team group xtreem ddr-667 which has the d9's from tankguys is a good choice.

that's an interesting thought but don't know if it'll work. i've tried changing the pci-e on a sata drive and it didn't work.. let me know if it works
4) Assuming that the temp sensors are way off on the A9W, how are you guys reliably measuring temps?
Core temp? v. 0.94. But not sure how accurate it is.
5) What are the safest Vcore and temps on air-cooling with this setup?
Thanks ;)
I'd say 1.45-1.5 on air would be fine. As for temps... 60-65C's but that's just my humble opinion
thanks for the fast response Shimm :)Quote:

you know what. i didn't realize tankguys charge tax in CA!Quote:

I think both are equally good deals but the crucials are rated cas 5 @ ddr2-1000
not sure how high the team's overclock but from what i have read, they o'c pretty well.
thanks again, shimm...i went with the ballistix ;)
can't wait for friday, w00t! :D
oops, dual-core double-post ;)

thanks chris! glad i could make useful recommendations :)
my L628B came in today. i'm gonna give it a go when i get home. also got my super talent's in as well. day o' fun!
I dont think the pcie lock really works at all IMO, hipro5 might be able to let us in on a secret ;)
@fhpchris
what bios are you using with the aw9d...
i just tried the 13beta04 and my cpu won't boot :(
shimmishim,
I updated to b03. Everything I've read about b04 so far has been negative, so haven't bothered with it. Seems a lot of people are going back to b02 and b03.
RLM
really? hmm... maybe i should go back to 03Quote:

anyway... now testing!
I am running mine at 1.5625V, but I think I have good air cooling. How big of a risk am I taking? If I burn one up, Intel is going to replace it under the Xeon warranty right?Quote:

Has anybody at XtremeSystems even claimed to have cooked a Conroe yet?
hey guys anyway given up and reverted back to p20 bios for the evga 680i... here in singapore my ambient without air conditioning is nearl30 or up to 33 degrees. running an infinity with a higher cfm fan... things seems to be better now n i honestly prefer the p20 bios.. now its stable 3.5ghz 1.5V. orthos can do stress gromac for nearly 10 hours running.. i couldnt do this in p21... or it could have been the ntune software that was giving me problems.. load temps in core temp show up to 70 degrees with these ambients here... might try to tune for 3.6ghz later :) 100mhz off only! :D ps. the test is still running!
here's a little screenie.. wish i had low ambients like u guys! haha~

hmm... testing 9 x 423 @ 1.55 volts...
but one thing i've noticed is that my aw9d-max now boots at 420 with no tweaks! :)
so far this chip isn't really too much better than my E6700ES which does 9x420 @ 1.55 orthos small fft stable

Im glad to finally see you more than 20min stable over 400fsb.:toast:Quote:

There just may be something going on with your board.
lol. maybe... dunno why i just can't do it!!!Quote:

oh well if i can't do blend, then i can't do blend.... i can do dual superpi32m and run 3dmark all day... i guess that's good enough
@ shimmishim Thanks for the report, I hope she primes all night for you. What batch number did you get L628B167, L628B211 or something different?
Lets just say my X6800 has a really hard time touching EITHER of my xeons in prime, yet the x6800 will run pi/3dmark MUCH higher...
I do not understand this other than saying I need more vfsb :(
Some regular here needs to test a Xeon 3070!
X6800 would not even post @ 434*9 LOL :D It seems to really fsb wall hard and it needs the 11-12 multis to really come alive..

please fhpchris try Xeon 3060 with DFI RD600 when you get one.. :)
:woot:
how will i change the chipset cooling, isn't it an integrated heatpipe design? do you mean to place a fan at/near it?Quote:

Really at a multi of 9, the Xeon 3060 L628B in my sig is ~100+mhz faster than my X6800!
I think we will start seeing 410-420*10 benchmarks on Xeon 3070s ;)
$32 for a chipset cooler! are you nuts?!:slobber:Quote:
