More results to come, 3823 isnt max orthos ;)
Quick ram testing ;)

Go to the end of PAGE 4 for my second Xeon results!
Nice results, it seems no different than other A stepping conroe chips it seems.
Has it been determined yet if the Xeon branded Conroes are "binned" higher than regular Conroes?
they are binned for lower voltages compared to the equivalent ConroeQuote:

3860 Prime @ 1.65v
http://www.sspmustang.com/ot/x3060/3...rthos-run1.jpg
I might be able to get a 39xx prime @ 1.74v:wth: , but I will need to keep the ambients in check ;)
This CPU is better than both my other two Retail E6600s, and my E6700ES, so it seems it is clearly binned better...
~3400 on a Big Typhoon @ stock voltage.
I am hitting a very hard FSB wall on the AW9D-MAX unmodded, with some vMCH droop and vFSB mods, I might see ~450-470ish in 32m or other easier tasks...
Wow nice score
Nice orthos :slobber: One of the best I've seen!
I hate you....no really... :P
Nice chip you got yourself there!
Loving the 1.35V max note on the box though lol
Nice results. I wonder if the B step Xenon's will be better than B step Conroes?
The Xeons are great, this chip does not really love lower voltage as much as my 6700ES, but it LOVES higher voltage! ;)Quote:

Lets hope my second AW9D-MAX works better than the first did...
The 6300's have shown able to achieve very nice OCs, would an equivalent 3040 Xeon perhaps be even better than the 6300's? (On average)
possible, but I would think you would want the 8x multi of the 6400 (xeon 3050)Quote:

I ran the stock cooling on the nb with ceramique and easily did ~411ish FSB on my other E6600s.
I LOVE the AW9D-MAX, even if it has problems when you approach 440fsb with a 9 multi :) I didnt really test 4:5 or 2:3 yet, but 4 dimms had a very hard time just running 400fsb even @ 1:1.
fhpchris, that is indeed a niceass chip. If only I chose a xeon instead of my e6600, i may have achieved better clocks. Mine seems to be orthos stable up until 3670 or so. Bad luck i guess.
My first E6600 was even worse than that, I would not feel bad.Quote:

Could you please compare the CPU's ID to the Conroes?
I also wanna run it on a 975/965-Board and i dont know whether all Boards support this CPU.
I mean, practially its just a Conroe binned for lower voltage, but i need to make sure the boards support it.
PS: Is the Boxed-Cooler for the Xeons any better than the usual crap?
And what about the Xeons warranty - do you void it by not running it on a server-board?
I cant overclock anyways, already got 2GB of DDRII-533 (They were about 60€ so i got the 533 ones, but i dont wanna spend money on expensive DDRII-800, so ill stick with them and wont overclock the Xeon.
Thanks for the info!
Everything but the "specification" field is the same as a retail E6600Quote:

Box cooler is same as usual crap.
Xeons have 1 year warranty from newegg, better than the cpu only warranty a normal E6600 gets from newegg.
Has same 3 year intel warranty as E6600.
nice CPU there :toast:
btw you've got the most annoying sig i've seen in a long time.....
nice chip but what are the temps like?

But thanks for the info, all i gotta do now is finding a retailer that has them in stock, havent yet found any here in germany.
But i guess ill just have to wait a few weeks because they have just released them, havent they? (I think theyve announced them at IDF Fall '06, right?)
And how much did u pay for it?
Maybe importing is an option - they list at 310€, which is around 400$. But i guess its gonna be even more expensive with taxes and postage.
fhpchris just sent you a PM because I thought you were based in the UK, but it seems you're a US guy... I can't find S775 Xeons anywhere in the UK :(
No, he didnt send me anything.
And im in Germany, i thought i mentioned that.
But neither can i buy them here...
A few stores list them but none of those has the 3060 in stock. Guess were just gonna have to wait like a month or so.
60c load orthos, 100% acceptable.Quote:

do u think this is better than E6600??
why do you blame Microsoft for your unstable systemQuote:

Yes, its WAY better than my E6600s, and my E6700es.Quote:

ROFL! Install SP2 dude :p:
Uh, AFIK I am up to date....Quote:

hmm I think I may get this instead of 6600
great news
lol ok sorry, how did you manage to get MS Blaster then?!
And man, that is one sweet chip!
Did you say 3.4Ghz on stock volts? That would be awsome as I needed 1.485 on my E6700 to get that stable. I did get over 4.08Ghz @ 1.675v for some tests but I was also running -20C antifreeze through the loop. I've been really thinking about selling the E6700 before its value drops. The newer E6600s and this chip seem to do better.
I'm trying a newer E6600. I found a few remarks about the 3060 on the 680i chipset and also gaming. Plus it was $30 less with a free game.
please elaborate on what you read regarding Xeon3060 and 680i...Quote:

I don't know the specifics. It basically said the Xeon 3060 was only compatible with 965/975. I found that mentioned in several places.Quote:

I know you said you want a 10x multi but are you going with another Xeon or just getting a 6700.

Have not decided yet. 3860 prime @ 1.59v will be hard to beat with almost anything.
Nice clocking!! I might be getting one of these here soon to play with.
wow... mines on the way... hmm i think regarding the compatibility nothing a bios update would not fix.. well whoever gets the stuff first do post somewhere let us know abt it :D
night raven...there is a dude in here saying teh xeon is incompatible with the 680i !!
It giving me nightmares , lol, because mine is already on the way also.
let me know if it works.
Damm! they don't have any of these Xeon 3060 or 3070 here in Australia, but plenty of Intel boards for them....weird !
Well I picked mine up here in Thailand. Surprised that you don't have any in Australia. Coming soon I'm sure.Quote:

lol i was about to bite...but it could be an error on amazon's part. if u go to itholic.com, they dont even have the 3060..but that could mean nothing as well
oh man the one form itholic.com is gone!:

I knew it was too good to be real, but I had to try.
I just received another email that said it when out of stock.
yeah that happened in australia once with zipcomputers or whatever their name is listing the new 2GB G.Skil GBGA sticks for AUD$250 a kit :eek: ....i ordered :banana::banana::banana::banana:loads of kits:D only to get the same bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:....supplier ran out of stock bla bla ahahahah.....i told the guy i'll wait as long as it takes :) only to get an email the next day that order was deleted....dodgy
ZZF has them 10 bucks below the Egg's price (339) FS
I found 3060's in the UK for £223 from insight although they only order them on request
Grats to FCG on his new cpu :toast:
fhp chris...how come you sold your xeon already?
I go through CPUs quickly, and the AW9D works a ton better @ 400 fsb (or so) than it does @ 440+.Quote:

I will try an X6800 or Xeon 3070 next.
Have just got back from Singapore today. Was reading the Straits down there, and there's a story about a $20 million microchip heist in Malaysia. Apparently a gang of them went in at night, and chloroformed the guards, removed some 530 cartons and a load of motherboards.Quote:

Haven't orthos'd it yet, but have been doing lots of 3d rendering , with radiosity, 2 threads, and it's working a treat:)

Just received my Xeon 3060. The batch number is L628B:woot:
Still waiting for other stuff to be arrived:slapass: .
What is your batch numbers? Are all C2D Xeons of B batch?:p:
From newegg?Quote:

Uuh nice - eta on your other stuff??
I have three from NewEgg in route. I missed UPS today, but I will have them in hand tomorrow.Quote:

I will be testing on BaxAxe1's, but perhaps not until this weekend.
mine is L629A780 as well but it came frm ZZF
I should have a 3060 arriving in a day or two. Since I'm on the eastcoast it should come out of Neweggs NJ warehouse which incase should arrive by tomorrow.
Recently received from there NJ location a E6600 week 31A that was benchable at 4ghz at 1.6v, Orthos stable at 3.75 1.52v. Would like to see 3.8 at same voltage or less 24/7 under water.
I did 3860 orthos @ 1.59v measured with a DMM, I think 3.75 would be easy to beat!
x6800 way, and if it cant beat the xeon im going to be major unhappy ;)
Xeon 3060 #2 will be arriving today also, should be same week/batch as my last one...
Can I do 3.9 orthos on a Xeon again? We will know in less than 12 hours ;)
Badaxe 2 arrived today also, do you guys want some tests on it?
Yes please. :)
I wish you good results.
this is goiung to be good...looking forward to some badax2 shots and the xeon results
This might have been answered already but I'm too lazy to check.
How does the xeon 3060 compare with the e6600 in terms of oc?
Well, since fhpChris seems to be the only one here who has posted 3060 results this is still somewhat of an open question, but he seems to be to convinced they are much better chips than the E6600. Exactly how much better, I do not know.Quote:
Originally Posted by Yay for Cheese

I had to struggle to even get 3707 stable on my last L628A E6600, so 3903 orthos is rather good ;)
Someone @ OCX just posed a 4ghz orthos with a L630A E6600 ;)
http://www.ocxtreme.org/forumenus/sh...6&postcount=19
intresting that we both load @ 66c in core temp isnt it ;)
so basically a hit or miss
what isnt with intel?
L628B167 xeon 3060 from newegg arrived just now, time to play ;)
What is the significance of "B" versus "A" here?
Clearly something!
L629A Xeon 3060 max voltage in bios was higher ~1.63v load
L628B Xeon 3060 max voltage in bios is now ~1.58v load (only shows up to 1.625v now :( selectable in bios...)
Temp reads ~80-85c in core temp at this setting priming (I didnt really clear cmos, I probably should...)
Oh did I mention its priming 3903 now ?:banana: 5 minutes of playing ^_^
So what's safe(there's a stupid word) for these xeons. Mine seems to get very hot with just minimal voltage increase. Had put it down to crap cooling, and maybe a crappy mount with the galaxy 1, but looking at your readings...

fhp, why is core temp 82c? Thats too damn hot for me. Im thinking about getting a zeon but not if they all run that hot.
because onboard sensors do not tell the truth ;)Quote:
