Nehalem Overclocking at Intel Sweden.
Once again OCTeamDenmark was invited to the great event at intel Swedens headquarters, benching hardware that is still under NDA is always GREAT fun :D
Last year was great and getting and invitation again just made my year :)
Last years Event before NDA was lifted, Read about it here if you havent already..

After NDA was lifted we had some results to share :D

Read about it here :)

Intel invited top overclockers from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
- Finland : SF3D, Sampsa
- Sweden:Kinc, Elmore, NH|Delph1 (Nordic hardware), Öjvind (The all Air bencher from sweclockers)
- Norway : Aspertin, DP
- Denmark: Nosfer@tu, Xt0m, Ivan
NDA HAS ENDED :yepp::up::shocked:

Quote:

NDA ended Yesterday :)

So here are some of the Results I managed to get In stockholm.
it should be said that I benched a bit with Ivan so some of the credit goes to him 2 ;)

1M Superpi 8.672 Sek (Have a faster one pr Mhz, but this is the fastest time I have :))
4914 Mhz x 8.672 Sek = 42615 Performance points.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/n...18672sek-1.jpg

PiFast = 19.42 Sek Single Cores calulation :)
http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/n...7851942sek.jpg

Wprime 1.55. 32M = 6.734 Sek :D
http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/n...5mhz164x29.jpg

Wprime 1.55. 1024M = 192.672 Sek :))
http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/n...9mhz161x29.jpg

CineBench 9.5 64 Bit = 3508 points :)
http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/n...159x293508.jpg

We cant disclose much information about anything, So I will try and give you as much information as possible without breaking the NDA :(

We all arrived around 14.00 (GTM+1) today and after a lot of friendly chatting, the Asus P6T Delux was given to each of the 5 teams and a ……… NEHALEM CPU :D
I cant reveal the model number or Ghz, But the good part is we have 400 Liters of Ln2 delivered by my trusted friends from AGA, Part of the Linde gas group.
Finland, and Elmor, Kinc and Anders set up in a separate room, The Danes, Norwegians and Sweclockers in another room.
The Asus P6T Delux comes in a Retail box, manual, cables and everything. And the board has undergone a lot of testing, not a single bug found yet :)
OCZ has given some DDR3 16000 memory rated at 9-8-8@1,8 Volt and a lot of PC POWER & Cooling power supplies, 930 Watt peak at 50 C°.
Like last year everybody brought their own cooling and once more Kinc already had his entire system set up before arriving at Intel´s headquarters :D
Insulating the board is quite hard but with time and pations it was done perfect.
3 x DDR3 was mounted here at OCTeamDenmark and a small x1300 PCI-E card just for the CPU and memory testing.
Once more, We cant say much about the interesting this, Im sorry but this is the only way that Intel allows this cool event to be held this much before the NDA is lifted.
Day one was GREAT, it was decided to compete against each other in some different benchmarks.
SuperPI 1.5 Mod
Cinebench R10
Max CPU-Z validation
Vantage performance.

There is no Prices or anything, Just the pride and honour :up:

I have a few pics, and will be uploading more when I'm not sweating in front of the Great Nehalem setup :)
It is almost 02.30 Here but I wanted to share what we experienced at day 1 as fast as I could.
So please excuse the bad writing and spelling mistakes :)

UPDATE:

Here you have the first pics from the event!

Only two items.... both for Sampsa
A) where is that hottie you seem to have ignored when you were with Woz at the last IDF?
B) Actually, looking at the shirt you are wearing I think I understand why....

Good Picture :P

Which cpu coolers they are using ? Fist one is Extreme 120 and other is thermalright prototype cpu cooler for Nehalem ? TR Extreme 120 compatible with Nehalem LGA 1366 or they are modified cooler :D
10-11-2008, 05:05 AM

they used the standart bracket of the Thermalright?

That would be good, for I have one too :D

Well Agree :D But We cant show scores before NDA. :D
Nobody can.... Some do anyway but they will be blacklisted from Intel events!

Ok, at what voltage and speed are those DDR3 sticks currently running? Does the whole setup feel stable when you're pushing it? I mean, you won't be able to tell us real clock speeds but does it run well OC'ed? Is the Asus BIOS picky or does it feel straight forward? And oh yeah, how's that "new" Hypertransport thing working? Does it show any real benefits in multitasking environments? I'm kinda worried about this chip as it seems to me the same transition from PIII to P4 and not much more for us who need raw computing power and nothing less.

The laptop with the presentation broke down just before the event so we only got a brief introduction :D

It is not very different from overclocking anything else. Just a different name on the "bus". ;)
I would say there is as much variance between Socket 775 motherboards in terms of what the different voltages are called as it is switching to Nehalem, I.e. switching to a motherboard from a different manufacturer may be more disturbing than upgrading to Nehalem and sticking with the same mobo manufacturer.
I can't imagine anyone with the least experience will have problems overclocking this one. Just read up and learn the platform. :)

I'll add another link to my signature as soon as the NDA expires ;)

I have hundreds of pictures to go through.

I will answer in vage therms because I dident have time to ask for permisson.

The asus Board just runs, very nicely. Not any bugs, Nothing :)

I DONT like insullating it, but that is only a time question :D

Bios is Not picky!

We came to Intel with great expectations. We were about to embark on another adventure in the Intel laboratory and overclock another generation of Intel processors. The last two times we were quite pleased with how the systems performed, even though it took a lot of time and energy to get those system stable and running at the world record frequencies we were trying to reach. This time we had done what we came to do and even surpassed our goals a whole day ahead of schedule. This is the most mature prelaunch platform we've played with yet. Nehalem has delivered.

The QPI bus is not going to be your main focus, but it's not hard if you want to.

You just should forget everything you've read at Fudzilla and TheInq about how this is done and what problems there might be. The stories about how Intel would lock overclocking through synchronized bus controllers in the CPU and northbridge, problems the synchronized voltages etc, they have just been a bunch of lies. Some of the stories haven't don't even contain a single ounce of truth or even the slightest fact from reality. Maybe in a slightly distorted dimension on another planet, but the reality is that Nehalem overclocks and considering how much trouble we had when overclocking Kentsfield and Yorkfield, Nehalem has been a lot more stable.

You are going to overclock Nehalem just like any other new system. Just a new bus and new voltages to get used. Overclocking is here to stay.

That's good to hear. Because I'm looking at the bigger picture, Overall overclocks. Bus, Multiplier, QPI, Memory, Etc. Getting every khz of power out of a rig. But as soon as the NDA is lifted, I wanna hear about the full details of the memory worries.

I dident have anything :( Money is Small atm heheh :D

But I and The Norway superTEAM benched a bit 4870x2 with 2 GPU pots :)
No Vmods though :mad: They dident allow me close enough with my soldering iron hehehhe

EVERYBODY is :D
I will try and keep you posted m8 :D :up:

Well, this is reassuring guys. If it's straight forward like that it will be just fine. Now I just can't wait until I get to play with one of those. :)

Maybe in a slightly distorted dimension on another planet, but the reality is that Nehalem overclocks and considering how much trouble we had when overclocking Kentsfield and Yorkfield, Nehalem has been a lot more stable.

You are going to overclock Nehalem just like any other new system. Just a new bus and new voltages to get used. Overclocking is here to stay.

I must admit it man, this made me happy :)

i think that Nordic Hardware had an article a while back saying they could run -120C on their Nehalem...i remember makeing a thread in News when i saw that so probably similar deal to current chips

When the NDA lifts is under NDNDA ;)

I should perhaps say that even though the platform feels stable, there is still some maturation needed, as always ;)

You would not belive how much breaking NDA and selling stolen ES cpu´s put a STOP to what Intel is trying to do here with events like this :( :mad::(

Claiming no cold bug is VERY generalizing.
There has and will properly always be a coldbug. Question is how low it is :)

2. Question is Can you Run above X Ghz even with the coldbug ;) :D

I learned a long time ago to Ignore everything those places post. Even if they get something right they've overshadowed it with 100's of completely false and misleading info. It's really bad. Those places create more trouble for people. It's really shameful.

I've had a saying since I got into OC'ing years ago. I don't belive anything I hear (with the exception of officially released info), and only half of what I see. That half of what I see that I trust comes from people who obviously workd directly with this stuff and know it backwards and forwards. After release the benchmark screens start showing up, and then we can trust alot more info. These rumor mills only serve to confuse people, and will ultimately cause people to damage some very expensive hardware.

Those that take those places word and not go back and relearn from places like Xtreme Systems here are gonna tear up some really nice stuff. It really aggravates me when I think about it, because I think about how I would feel if I burned up some expensive stuff becasue of somebody writing stuff about something they knew absolutely nada about, but posted it like it was the Gospel and they had "inside info". Thank god there are places like this where people keep that trash from poluting people's minds.

Quick question.. Are you able to post a pic of the Rampage II insulated and prepared for sub zero? That looks hard to get it done right with that much crowding around the socket.

Thanks for a fantastic event. Intel was so nice to us all the whole weekend. And it was really nice to see all the nice benchers in person. It is truly something else when you have met a person in real life, then just talking to them online.

Best part was when nosfer@tu got LN2 over his head and totaly freaked. Tho he pored LN2 on me later the same day and then i totaly freaked :rofl:

You kind of loose respect of the LN2 on theese kind of events...
