CPU ： Gulf Q4EG
CPUクーラー ： i7 965EE cooler
Room temp : 25c
M/B ： Biostar TPower X58A
Memory ： G. SKILL F3-16000CL8T
VGA1 ： ATI Radeon 5970
SSD ： Intel X25-V
POW : Antec TPQ 1200
OS ： Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
B2 already, very nice :)
Also good to see the Tpower supporting it, Biostar might be a viable option for me in the future, with DFI and Abit down...
Hello Gulftown.
Is that a stock cooler?! :nono:
Talking about the chip itself: :slobber: :D
More results, please! :toast:
Actually it's meant to be B1 step 2 hehe
guess cpuz ain't picking them up correctly
4ghz on the stock cooler ? Now that would be nice :)
Yes junior , Stepping 2 is B1 not B2 :D
Hello there new stepping Gulftown :welcome:
I had a similar cpu with me but i am sure that it was not B2 tough, later i was told cpuz was reading 1 core because of the BIOS.

nice scores there,i had a similar score as yours with my old and dead Gulf ,let me check if the new one is better or what :D
Mine arrived too last sunday and database shows it's still "B1" stepping

WoW That's Orginal Fan? In CPU Box?
Wait For Some Test In This Stock Fan.......
The heat-sink is kinda hot sad that i did not get one with the i7 980x :(
I would love a 980X but I find the price is just unjustifiable. I wonder if the heatsink will come with the non extreme versions of Gulftown, though I admit that heatsink does look nice, better than the standard POS heatsink.
980X needs a massive cooler like that :DQuote:

980X really needs water for speeds around 4-4.2ghz because the dam thing run very hot, well at least the A0 did.
LN2 ya thats the way to go, i hope this can OC better than the A0 which already did quite well under LN2
That's what it came with. However, since this is "ES", I am not sure what Intel will bundle with their "retail" box cpu...Quote:

so we all flashing 980's around here?
LOL im tempted to join the club...
Ive had my 980 for a while now..
Ive had both A0 and the 980.Quote:

So yes, the B steppings are beasts.
One wierd thing i noticed tho... The A0's like a higher QPI vs the B's unless im seriously doing something wrong... :\
Are these out for purchase? If so where and how much?
in 2 more weeks.
:P
Not the new Q4EG B1 Stepping...cool as a cucumber...only 6 degrees above room temp at idle...never goes above 55C on full 100% load...very nice chip! Hoping for 4.6 24/7....We'll see....It will probably do it, but at voltages I am not comfy with...Quote:

Has nobody put these under a single stager yet? I am guessing 5ghz+ easy for 24/7? All I see is air/water/ln2...

Quite correct i am very surprised with these B1's tough :rolleyes: i have a B0 and it has a different mentality than the B1.Quote:

Very nice, what are you using ? Chilled water or something, the temps are real nice are you sure the temp sensor is reading the temps correct :DQuote:

"The new 32nm temperature sensors that Intel are using are not very accurate at idle.
The i7-920 temperature sensors were excellent but Intel has taken a step back to the good old days where the sensors they use can have a lot of slope error. This means that at temperatures a long ways away from the calibration point, these sensors will start to read either too high or too low. The amount they are off is random and varies from one core to the next.
Your load temperatures will be somewhat accurate if you get these sensors up to about 70C where the amount of slope error tends to be minimal. Below 70C it's pointless trying to compare reported temperatures from these CPUs with the original 45nm Core i7-9xx series CPUs because the sensors are not good enough for that.
Intel only designs these sensors to trigger thermal throttling at about 100C and thermal shutdown at about 125C. I find the sensors, even though they are not accurate, tend to be consistent so if a core reads a few degrees low at idle one day it will read the same amount too low 6 months from now.
RealTemp GT reads these new CPUs OK. It doesn't get the name string correct yet since I was originally guessing that Intel was going to call them an i9 when the first ES processors were being tested but MHz and temperatures should be OK. It looks like TJMax for these is set to 101C if you haven't manually changed it. That data is being read directly from a register within each core. Intel actually calls this data TJ target and TJMax is supposed to be somewhere around this number but no one knows how close it really is. It can vary slightly from one CPU to the next and from one core to the next on the same CPU."
What are you guys getting on air with these 980x chips?
It's nice to see that Intel is finally using a better stock Heatsink, even if it is only available with their flagship CPU. Hopefully they will start shipping it with low and mid-range CPU's in the future.
Why? I mean, who uses a stock heatsink on a flagship chip that will overclock to the moon other than people that use them for work? They should completely cater to us overclockers :rofl:Quote:

1.45-1.5 tops.Quote:

I wouldn't know what to do with that much computing power :eek: Folding here I would come!
1,4V is max. according to IntelQuote:

980x is unlocked and you guys are not pushing the BCLK, but what kind of max-BCLK have you been getting/expecting for 24/7 use?
I wouldn't be so sure...Quote:
