I7 X3960 - 57k vantage - 5700 mhz

I'm so happy to get a good core i7 x3960

I used an ASUS rampage IV with dual channel kingston memories. I'm really satisfied of this mainboard. It's really stable and it wondered me.
In next days I'll try to test mainboard with other bench, for now I tested only cpuz and 3dMark Vantage.

I hope to get some nice score with this cpu

rsannino

Nice Chip......now go with good card you will get great score :up::up:

Damn bro you're building up a really solid lead in the OC League :D

batch? :D

congrats finding that awesome chip

OMG....57K
Congratz

125mhz bus... wait WHAT O_O

edit: nvm, cpu strap explains this. AWESOME CHIP MAN

Is niiiiiiiiiiice! :D

I got mine last night... can't believe how prepared for LN2 it is!

nice man! And not only very good 3960x u got, as I see in your first post, u have future Rampage 6 :D

Oh yeh.. nice chip you got man :up:

What a chip :O
And very nice job with Vantage :up:

XD ...correct ... is 5 :P not 6 ghghgh

Hodacity, the batch is 3133B429 ;)

Holy sh*t :D

Bet that chip is now even more expensive than my car :D

Amazing chip :D

omg omg omg omg that's my batch number!!!

...oh wait - was it? I know it finished 29... was it 329 or 429?

Great chip for sure bro... Incoming DAMAGE!!!

is 429 ;)

No no, I meant my 1 I picked up in the states. I can't remember if it was 329 or 429...

5 ... 5 ... the 4 is very old :p ghgh

nice chip man, which temperature did u used for 5,7 vantage?

i also got three cpus of the same batch: 5,1 ; 5,2 ; and one good one with about 5,5GHz.

lookin forward to some more benches rsannino

-58°C for vantage. -55°C CRASH! ;) and -59°C ColdBug ;)

have you tested the scaling from about -30 to -58 for example? ....would be interested because i was not able to test my cpu with ln2 yet, just singlestage with about -40°C

of course! it is an evolution of 4, with some burnt parts XD

Congratulations to Roberto for cpu. :)

It 'a fantastic Vantage CPU test.

Coccus. ;)

Nice job, congrats!!

Hell of a cpu!

Nice job!

How many CPUs did you test....if this is the first...you just won the lotto :D

wish i had the money to bin this chip :D

how high you can run with max multi on BCLK 100 ? 55x100/56x100/57x100..?

Thanks

congrats for the great chip !!!! awesome

awesome findings !! congratulation for superb chip :toast:

Verry nice Chip !!

Very nice chip. Congratz!

5.2 and 5.3 so far...

God... If I wasn't afraid of LN2 and killing my board / chip I'd so be up for benching mine and trying to beat this :rofl:

that is simply awesome if you picked that up as your first chip

Yes, I won the lottery ;)

RCG_Bex, if you do not overdo it with nitrogen, do not break anything;)

I have not done extensive testing to lack of time.
I will do that and I will tell you all, the scalability and behavior at different temperatures or ​​BLCK values

Hello rsannino....i just bought 3960X and got the same batch :D I would like to get 5Ghz for 24/7.... should be possible with water i guess ... what V-core is needed for 5Ghz ? :) I have no LN2 :D :D

The batch is relative :( depends on the CPU, I can not advise you to use a voltage for 24 / 7, I would never say something that later proved wrong. I'm sorry.
For example, I have 2 3930k with same batch, first 5500 mhz 1.525vcore, other 5250mhz 1.6 vcore; but if I go down to 4600 MHz, the first is rock solid a 1.41 vcore, the second to 1.375 vcore. As you can see a processor that takes very little voltage to high-frequency, at low frequencies required voltage high more than others. It 'impossible to give exactly values, ​​require extensive testing.
;) Hello I hope I was clear, my english is very bad XD

Well thank you for answer i greatly appreciate it. I'm planning not more than 1,5V-core ( should be very safe for premium watercooling with just one loop for CPU) and I hope i will ended up on 5Ghz.
I have very little or no knowledge so far about this platform so my next question is.... did you change any other voltages let's say for 5200 Mhz?

My old CPU was Core i7 975EE. And i think for a home usage it was a GOLDEN ONE. For 4234Mhz the cpu needed just 1,24 V-core and it was rock stable for almost 3 years. I had Noctua D14 on it.

If you only increases the multiplier (Example x50 --> x52), then it should just be enough to increase the vcore. If increases the BLCK then it is a different discourse.
bye ;)

Cherry Pic man!!!

Mine's a 3133B429 for sure, I'm looking at the box while I'm typing :) They in Hong Kong called it a 'grey import'... though I'm assuming it came from the US since SBE ain't officially released there yet and for the price I aqquired it, I'm certainly not complaining. :D
