Intel Xeon 3060 First result! 56K soon to be DEATH!

**cryptocat** · 11-12-2006, 01:57 PM

No, he didnt send me anything.

And im in Germany, i thought i mentioned that.

But neither can i buy them here...
A few stores list them but none of those has the 3060 in stock. Guess were just gonna have to wait like a month or so.

60c load orthos, 100% acceptable.

But thanks for the info, all i gotta do now is finding a retailer that has them in stock, havent yet found any here in germany.
But i guess ill just have to wait a few weeks because they have just released them, havent they? (I think theyve announced them at IDF Fall '06, right?)

And how much did u pay for it?
Maybe importing is an option - they list at 310€, which is around 400$. But i guess its gonna be even more expensive with taxes and postage.

They are clearly better, I paid 327$ shipped, but now newegg wants 345$

Yes, its WAY better than my E6600s, and my E6700es.
Look @ FS forum

I cant wait for everyone to see im priming 1.7v

Clean install of windows too.

Validation @ 4005 mhz

Uh, AFIK I am up to date....

I am using XP Pro X64, I didn't think I had to install sp2...

**Senater_Cache** · 11-16-2006, 10:48 PM

hmm I think I may get this instead of 6600

great news

**Sumanji** · 11-17-2006, 02:50 AM

lol ok sorry, how did you manage to get MS Blaster then?!

And man, that is one sweet chip!

**ewitte** · 11-17-2006, 03:22 AM

Did you say 3.4Ghz on stock volts? That would be awsome as I needed 1.485 on my E6700 to get that stable. I did get over 4.08Ghz @ 1.675v for some tests but I was also running -20C antifreeze through the loop. I've been really thinking about selling the E6700 before its value drops. The newer E6600s and this chip seem to do better.

**ewitte** · 11-17-2006, 03:49 AM

I'm trying a newer E6600. I found a few remarks about the 3060 on the 680i chipset and also gaming. Plus it was $30 less with a free game.

please elaborate on what you read regarding Xeon3060 and 680i...

I have both (proc on the way still) and would hate myself if it was incompatible.

I don't know the specifics. It basically said the Xeon 3060 was only compatible with 965/975. I found that mentioned in several places.

**fhpchris** · 11-17-2006, 05:31 PM

Tested vcore with a DMM

1.66 uguru = 1.59 real
1.70 uguru = 1.63 real

Board maxes @ ~1.65 real on vcore
Vfsb was 1.19v @ load.

**MrDeeds** · 11-17-2006, 05:58 PM

I know you said you want a 10x multi but are you going with another Xeon or just getting a 6700.

Either Xeon3070/X6800/QX6700.

Have not decided yet. 3860 prime @ 1.59v will be hard to beat with almost anything.

**WesM63** · 11-17-2006, 07:00 PM

Nice clocking!! I might be getting one of these here soon to play with.

**NightRaven** · 11-17-2006, 07:03 PM

wow... mines on the way... hmm i think regarding the compatibility nothing a bios update would not fix.. well whoever gets the stuff first do post somewhere let us know abt it

**Senater_Cache** · 11-18-2006, 12:29 AM

night raven...there is a dude in here saying teh xeon is incompatible with the 680i !!
It giving me nightmares , lol, because mine is already on the way also.

let me know if it works.

**IluvIntel** · 11-18-2006, 01:43 AM

Damm! they don't have any of these Xeon 3060 or 3070 here in Australia, but plenty of Intel boards for them....weird !

Well I picked mine up here in Thailand. Surprised that you don't have any in Australia. Coming soon I'm sure.
