System:
X6800 L628A937
Quent's Asus P5B-Deluxe (Vdroop by Quent; Vcore, Vdimm & Vmch mods by Before)
STT Before's Xtrem 2*512Mb
Windows 2k3 Server (tweaked by Before)
Western Digital IDE 80Gb
2-Stager Unit @ -100C

Vcore = ~1.86V (1.84 to 1.90V)
Vddr = 2.74V
Vmch = 1.87V

I've performed some benchies with my bro Quent this week end. The first processor we managed to test was a X6800.

We first tried with a Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe but the X6800 wasn't well supported by the board and it was impossible to clock over 4.7GHz. Then, we used a fully volt-modded Asus P5B-Deluxe and after flashing the original bios for the 804 version, the chip booted into windows @5.0GHz with 1.84V (also tried later with 1.74V and it succeeded :eek: ).

We made several Super Pi runs within 5000MHz to 5062MHz, with 2 cores enable and 1 core disable as well.

Dispite a great booting ability, the chip failed to pass 5062MHz whatever the Vcore we used (from 1.74V to 1.90V).

[Super Pi 1M Max]

So close to 9.XXXs... :(

Then, we made several Spi1M with 2:3 ratio up to the max for the RAM.

Impressive results as always Before, congratulations .

Thx bro! :)

Congrats bro, very good results... nice spi time :toast:
9.xxx Soon :banana:

man that cascade is worth gold :toast:

very impressive clocks...good job!

Over 5ghz benchable and almost 9.XX sec SPI 1M! :up:

Very nice indeed. Any pics of the cascade though ?

Very nice job. :D

I wish I could boot at 500FSB or more.

:toast: Nice results guys!
RAM 646MHz ?!?!?!:slobber:
9.xxx soon, we're waiting for that one. :slap: You can't sleep "before"... :D

HOLY :banana::banana::banana::banana: AWESOME :O

I'll have very few days more to try breaking this F*** 10s barrier... Quent was very kind, and let me the CPU after our benching session.

Here's today stuff:

Improved Spi1M time with a lower operating CPU frequency. I wasn't able to reach 5050MHz anymore today :( BTW I hardly think 5050MHz is enough to get 9.999s.

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/6...m10063sdu5.png

Then I've done few but not bad Super Pi 2M, 4M and 8M @5006MHz.

2M = 25.000s just time!

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/1...m25000smt5.png

4M = 57.688s

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/8...m57688sfz5.png

8M = 2m 9.375s

Thx guys for all your kind comments...

@wa77ss: check this link http://beforeoverclock.com/blog/?p=7 ;)

Thank you all guys :)

I hope we'll get this 9.XXX... It stills an QX6700 to test bro :toast:

Regards,
Quentin

great results :toast:

regards

Wonderfully executed! That's still easily one of the best clock for clock 1M times out there. (Which we've gotten used to with you ;) ):up:

All congrats go to before for this optimisation work, no need to say that I suppose ;)

nice work :)
impressive results, maybe the x6800 needs some more cold ? :confused:

Thank you my friends :)

@Gautam: You'r very kind to me! I always try to get the best and tweaking windows has became of great interest to me. Thx bro ;)

@metalazzo: Right, actually I'm not sure the chip can operate significantly above 5062MHz (which appears to be a wall), but as you've said, a colder temp might help to bench with more stability in the mid 5GHz range.

@Quent: no need to say thank you once again! :D

So, I've tried a little bit this morning with a fresh mounting but the chip didn't allow me to reach 5050MHz benchable again... that suxx! Nevermind, 9.XXXs will be for a next time.

Also, I've recieved 3 E6400 L629A953, 2 E6400 L626A966 and 5 E6000 L627B156 to test for a French reseller and thus I'll not have enough time to continue benching this X6800.

:)

Great OC before ;)

Nice OC under cascade, switch to P5W and go sub 10 ;) You dont need so much FSB with a XE.

:toast:

2M - #9 ever
4M - #8 ever
8M - #15 ever

:toast:

nice OC, gratz mate

@bob: Thank you buddy :)

@^don.k's^: may be with another chip... It might be interesting to test that mobo.

@TaPaKaH: Thanks for the info... I've 2 more times for the WR rankings here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=123047
actual 2M - #13 ever and 4M - #14 ever

@popobag: Thx! ;)

Once again... Faster time with lower clock!

BTW still no sub 10s... I've flashed the bios to the 903 and it looked like the chip can't go as high as it could with 804. :( WTF that's bad luck!

Great ram speed there ;) Soo close to SPI 9.xxx

:slapass: So close! Only 0.063s..

'only' .062s to 10s flat @5001MHz... It looks like sub 10s can be acheived @5020 - 5030MHz. I want it that way! :p:

just find some LN2 :D

Yes of course buddy :) It would be a great solution.

BTW I hardly want to try with ethylene first. I'll send this X6800 back, but I'll have the opportunity to test again with a E6700; I hope to be lucky this time!

Ok; that's still not a sub 10s... but a nice 10.000s flat @ "only" 5025MHz :D

http://beforeoverclock.com/images/X6...1M@10,000s.png

Very Great Opti :jap:

:toast: :toast:

Thank you both! :)

I woke up early this morning to try it once more prior to do some stability testing on some chips for a French shop. (Nice E6600's which do 3.6GHz @1.32V watercooled :D )

So, I've suceeded in benching up to 5040MHz but not in broking that F*ck*ng 10s barrier until one of my great STT Before's Xtrem RAM stick fried... WTF where's my luck? Who stole it to me? :slapass:

BTW I'm waiting for a package of RAM kits in the mid week. Will see!

LOL ! :lol:

Have you use all your tweaks? Don't you have anymore tweaks? You'll get that 9.xxx s soon. Congrats!
(I'll be back here in 22-23 days, tomorrow I start my 3 weeks "holiday") Thailand calls me... :D

I might have one or two more to try... :)

Enjoy your holidays buddy!

Hi Xavier,

Did you tested the E6600 L627B156?

hehe nice speed to get the 10s flat :toast:

Thx SoF

@psy4fun: I've tested the 5 E6600 for watercooling.fr

The best one did 3708MHz@1.320V watercooled. :slobber: :D Check my blog for other tests.

I've recieved today the container from my fellow Crazy Boy... It has been prepared by Jokker and slightly lapped by myself. God job Jokker! :D

The X6800 might feel the taste of LN² very soon if I manage to find a good motherboard. :p:

Very nice clocks! Any cores disabled by chance?

Great container! :thup: Sub 10 would be easy breezy for you- sub 9 is your goal. :D

Beautiful container !!! Great job :toast:

Good luck for test on LN2 my friend :)

Really nice tube, now you only need LN2 :toast:

Regards

A nice board for ur X6800 or E6600, both? :D

buy a P5B-E and 600...

@Leon2sky: Thx! You can disable a core with setting numproc of boot.ini file.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows" /noexecute=AlwaysOff /fastdetect /numproc=1

@Gautam: Thank you bro! :toast: You know me... sub 9s is my goal of course; BTW I'll be happy enough with a 9.XXXs time as well. :p: I've received your PM; BTW it's 1AM so I'll send you a reply tomorrow. :)

@bob: Thx a lot! Jokker has done a heck of a job, the container is a beauty! I'm sure it'll be powerful.

@Littledevil: Thx buddy! I'll give a call on Monday for the LN² ;)

@cpull: right! I hardly need one... a P965 C2! :D

No need to have a P965 C1 to break 600-620 and with a C2 if your cpu hates high FSB...

Great job as always dude ;) :toast:

Hehe very nice.
Benching over 600CAS4 with 2x1Gb stick may give us a 0.05s boost :D

Your optimisations are impressive !

Thx guys :D

So; I've finally found a P5B-E Plus 1.02G with a C2 rev of P965. I hope to receive it very soon so that I'll be able to do some nice Spi benchies under LN² before christmas.

Prior to find it, I was PMed by boblemagnifique who proposed to lend me his 580FSB TForce... That's very kind of him; so I would like to express my sincere appreciation to him. :toast:

before what do u thinking is better Biostar 965PT C2, or Asus 965 C2 P5B-E plus? I'm in opportunity to switch from PT to P5B-E but I can't test it before.

Honestly, I don't know :) I guess both aren't so different. BTW I've seen P5B-E Plus prime stable @590FSB but no TForce yet.

P5B-E+ just needs vdrop et vcore modds to perform as you configured in bios :/
good luck for your sub 10s runs !

Thanks my friend :)

I need good mods and a glass of good red wine ;) ... So I'll do the mods first and drink after; imagine the drunk hand trying to solder something... :D
