sup guys
i read that jan 20th they start rolling the new stepping to customers, wonder if the egg will have them as they're outta stock only 3960X old stepping is
do you think the 3930K's will be the new stepping or they may mix them ?
cheers

probably new stepping they've been out of stock for 2-3 weeks
This is the reason,I am not jump yet in X79.
I will wait until mobo chipset and CPU get new stepping.
these will all do 7ghz so i hear
@ Splave
:rofl:
Can anyone give me factual info as to what this new stepping will increase? Will it perform better? What's the difference? If it's just that Vt-d thing I could care less...
As far as anyone knows, it is JUST "that Vt-d thing". I think the optimistic people are just waiting to see reviews in hopes that the new chips somehow do something magical. I'll keep my fingers crossed for their sake.Quote:

I didnt sign nda so im in the clear to talk about it
I'm a bit out of the loop on SB-E stuff. Did they ever sort the PCIe 3.0 transceiver problems?
what PCi-E 3.0 transceiver problems? i heard their only problem is that they didn't have time to get it PCISIG certified?
I heard 200blck but it is just a rumor:p:. I think maybe they will seem as if they OC higher, beucase most people havemn't bought CPus either b/c they are sold out or just too expensive. Most results on are ES and if retails haven't thought us anything is that they are clocking better than most ES CPUs, just not many people have them. I mean look at the WR is sitting on top of basically as ES submissions and some retails that are very high up like Loud's. BTW Newegg is not getting more until C2, it isn't just that they are out of stock for a little while, Intel ran out of CPUs which was part of the plan. I remember massman put a post up saying showing some high 167blck on a CPU, which everyone thought was C2, idk if it was C2, but it used the MSi bangbang and it has a modified clock gen to allow higher BLCk. it really idk what you really want 1.67 multiplier at that high for, other than maybe it could be a sweet spot, but BLCk dividers are good for memory speed, and i would think 1.25 and 24x and 107blck would be enough for most, but using 1.67 is nice too. if All C2 CPUs have better BLCk that would be nice, but i don't think they will. i think maybe their silicon quality might be higher, maybe intel has worked on the leakage to lower some temps. Intel needs to start working on leakage tho, for real as if they don't on the next CPU they release it will be crazy lol.
i just want they can do 5GHz HT on reasonable load volts, dont care about them as i will not bench just game etc, hope i get a decent batchQuote:

I think Andressergio is more concerned about getting 5ghz on reasonable voltage (at or near max intel spec) for 24/7 more so than temps, he has good cooling.
Im running this chip at 4.7ghz, the difference between 4.7 and 5ghz for normal use is not going to be noticeable at all. For most of what I do default is plenty, just boring.
my watercooler can handle it perfect as i wont bench or put linx or prime on it, as i say i will just game and adjust till i get stable, same i did with my nice 2600k, i have the chance to test some chips and i probed that this lit beasts can go high and high but once you start pumping volts they degrade and to do 5GHz again will requiere lots of volts, so i decided to test that wayQuote:

Maybe with the new stepping, we will end up with some soon-to-be-obsolete Xeon E5s by the summer...:rolleyes:
I say soon-to-be-obsolete because the E5 will be behind the curve once mainstream Ivy comes out...

I'm kind of interested in C2, but I don't think I can give up this current C1. I tried 3 chips and kept this one that does 5Ghz all day at 1.42v. It'll hit 5.1ghz at 1.44v...but I've had a few crashes at those settings and it takes almost 1.5v to iron it out....far too much for 24/7. So I've settled on 5.0Ghz 24/7.
.
Unless there is better clocking I'm gonna sit tight on this current C1 methinks.
Same here, still ironing out my 5Ghz 24/7. If the new stepping is really great I might, as I cant buy 3 X's to test out :P I gotta stick with the one I got.Quote:

Thats load, caught meaning I stopped tweaking my bios profile because I was playing games hehe.Quote:

My 24/7 goal is acutally pretty low - 4.0 - 4.5 HT enabled. If i can keep SpeedStep and full sleep capabilitiy, that's a plus too.
So in all reality, with gaming being the 'hardest' thing this rig will do, the 3930K is the way to go. But who's going to get it in stock and when is it going to be there?
It seems there just aren't a lot of places to buy a CPU anymore. I don't have a Microcenter close by anymore (6 hour drive to the one in Atlanta) and all the old sites I used don't seem to be there anymore. (Anyone remember Anandtech--I think that was their name)
Gaming load is alot lower than Prime95 loading too.
My Gaming temps is 40-43c where 100% prime95 is 58-60c on my i7-920 OCed with 1.375v
Might want to quailify game loaded stable vs 100% loaded stable
no CPU for the new upcoming C2 stepping wait as me :)Quote:

I have a feeling because of the poor imc it would not do better on cold, but would be a good 24/7 chip for someone that didnt care about 2400mhz memory.Quote:

After 40 starts to suck, I know from experience. We need toys for our bday's now more than ever, to help us forget we are getting old.
Added a new loop for the 7970 the , so everything is a mess ATM. If I want to change cards out, this way I can without a lot of headache. The pump and res are zip tied to the table.

lol nice. Why is your res so long?
It was from the first wcooled system I built. I thought bigger must be better when I ordered, when I first saw it I knew i made a mistake. If you look top right in the first pic, you'll see a much shorter res from the next build lol.
This is working good so far, GPU temp is 12-18c with direct ac on the rads.
yeah man i have high hopes on them, was gonna say the same like going to D0's :)Quote:

It sure looks better in a nice case with good cable management, nice clean build as always!. With kids you have to keep it safe.
It has been nice to not have to work inside a case though, despite how bad it looks. Built the 2 seperate loops to make it easy to switch gfx cards or mobos without having to take them apart.
thanks man but honestly i prefeer to have it on the table but Valentino is super curious and very intelligent so sometimes i go and he grabed a mem, SSD or so lol, and its hard to replace that stuff you know...Quote:

Is he not tempted to stick his finger in that fan cooling the cards? I know I would be :P

Lol thats exactly what I did, was tired of waiting and went for the X.Quote:

thanks did you see the link of the pump ? i was talking about that im sure that will make some difQuote:

i believe what u r saying its true 2 weeks no chip is very weirdQuote:

No box for CPU, it came wrapped in a paper. :D Source and price will need to stay undisclosed. ;)
Hehehe... Thanks! :) I like round numbers. It is very good IMHO, 5GHz at low volts, can do 5.2GHz on water.Quote:
