Retail i7 980X results

Setup:

Retail i7 980X batch #3003B287 Costa Rica
EVGA Classified 762
2x MSI 5870 Lightning's stock coolers
Corsair Dominator GT's 6GB 2000MHz C8's
Antec TPQ 1200W
K|ngp|n F1 EE
Dimastech benchtable

cb -140
cbb -85

So far, all tests have been run with all 6 cores, HT on. Chip seems pretty solid so far, it would run '03 and '05 at 5.8GHz on 1.6V, 6GHz at 1.75

Last nights runs were mostly around 1.8V Vdroop disabled. Really looking forward to putting this chip under the 3 stage cascade for fine tuning. Seems to be some issues with the GPU's either driver/afterburner/bios related. I would get vertical grey and white bars at desktop when running server '08.

More to come with the chip under the cascade and the gpu's on LN2....:D

this is definatly a milestone chip, even with mild overclocking it just killes any scores out there,

it stands in a class of it's own and makes benching with any other chip seem kinda lame....

seems it had changed the whole game.....


great stuff there gunslinger, i bet we will see you rocking lots of scores with that setup!

Very nice clocks and results Gunny :)

Nice clocks! I hope my retail chip runs simular under cold.

Excellent!

Nice Mike:D
Pretty good for a retail chip :)

I want the power too...

I also want retail power the ES power takes too much v's and makes my heart skip beats....

was wondering what you sold off all those 5870s for.. guess we know now

impressive stuff as always gunny

Very nice Gunny!! :up: Looks like "B" is so far in the lead......can't wait for the European "F" to see what they can do.

Nice results Mike, way to go. :up: Hope to get my "A" chip on the cascade Monday or Tuesday if everything goes well... :shrug:

congratz Mike , awsome benching :up: , keep up the grear work.

PURELy Done :yepp:

lovely just lovely...show some set-up pics :)

Nice clock
Thank you for good threads.

Good job Gunny. That's impressive, can't wait to see what you do to that WR with GPUs on LN2.

Very nice chip you got there for retails and impressive from first tried ;)

wait to see for next round :up:

Hmm...your numbers bring (a teensy bit of) hope for B1's. :)

Great chip for sure :shocked:

Keep pushin' guy :up:

Nice work!
Good chip as well awaiting more from round 2:up:

Did a real quick CPUZ on my last 4 liters.

Great results, and a very nice chip it seems! :D
Looking forward to more benches! :up:

The 2 card 3DMark06 record is impressive. I want to meet this chip in person!

Thanks for sharing. These retails look better than I had heard they are and more durable too I bet.

nice results :toast:
why did you run all benches with 6cores and ht though?

Was running low on gas for the torch, have to heat it up to -85 to make BIOS changes that require a complete shutdown.

This was just a quick "get to know you" session, more results coming soon. :D

very nice. Congrats :)
