    Cool Xeon E3110 + Asus Blitz Formula results

    Received my E3110 Xeon 45nm Wolfdale (E8400 equivalent) from PCManiacs.com.au :thumb:

    E3110 SLAPM 2V7***** / ***414
    FPO/Batch: Q750A158
    Version: E27970-001
    Pack Date: 02/06/08



    System
    • Intel Xeon E3110 Q750a158 2V7**** / ***414
    • CPU Cooling: Dtek Fuzion Rad Tower Box
    • Asus Blitz Formula 1402 bios
    • 128MB Gainward FX5200 PCI
    • 2x1GB Corsair 10000C5D Dominator dual channel kit
    • Memory cooling: 120x25mm Thermaltake 81cfm fan
    • 80GB Hitachi 7K80 SATAII
    • Pioneer DVD-RW
    • 1200W Silverstone OP1200
    • WinXP Pro SP2 Nlite Fully Updated.


    Nice low AUTO vcore at 1.152v in bios with Coretemp VID = 1.0875v. So I set bios vcore to lowest available option = 1.1v for 1.056v idle/1.048v load with Loadline Calibration disabled.

    E3110 Coretemp VID = 1.0875v
    Bios set AUTO vcore = 1.152v compared to my 2x E8500 AUTO vcore of 1.184v and 1.192v both with 1.1125v Coretemp VID

    Since my last setting in bios for my E8500 was testing Real Temp idle calibration tests http://i4memory.com/showpost.php?p=86728&postcount=3, I thought I'd do the same for E3110 to compare with my E8500.

    Realtemp v1.1 Idle & Load test


    Seems Coretemp v0.96.1 over reports idle temps by 7-10C





    E3110 @ stock 9x333FSB at 1.1v bios set vcore


    Seems the E3110 receives 0.08v less vcore than my E8500 at same bios set 1.1v vcore. Maybe slightly more amperage used on E3110 than E8500 ???

    CPUZ reported vcore = 1.056v idle and 1.048v load.

    Idle



    Load



    Very promising cpu as the low vcore end

    3207Mhz at 1.048v load



    3300Mhz at 1.048v load

    4005Mhz at 1.256v load


    With loadline calibration disabled (vdroop enabled). Notice what CPU VTT is set





    4203Mhz at 1.360v load

    loadline calibration enabled (1.368v idle/1.360v load)

    Prime95 v25.6 ~6+ hrs min mark

    Max FSB tests


    Seems my Asus Blitz Formula might be limiting my FSB, as my best FSB clocking E6600, E6700, E6850, 8500 and now E3110 all seem to hit a ceiling at around 530-535FSB for Super Pi 32M. This E3110 max bootable FSB into memtest86+ is around same as the lower of my 2x E8500 Q740A493T max FSB of 540FSB and 555FSB so around 540FSB.

    Click images below for full screenshots





    Unoptimised Super Pi 32M run just to test FSB.

    thanks guys

    Max FSB tests continued....

    Looks like this E3110 has a slightly higher max FSB for Super Pi 32M at least, topping out at 545FSB straight boot from bios to complete Super Pi 32M run. With max cpu validation matching my E8500 Q740A493T on same Asus Blitz Formula at 555FSB

    Click images below for full screenshots





    Super Pi 32M @540FSB & @545FSB straight boot from bios

    @540FSB


    @545FSB

    Last run on Windows 2008 as I found out PCmark/3Dmark Vantage don't recognise Windows 2008 and need to install Vista Ultimate SP1 64Bit later.

    So max CPUZ Validation @1.48v idle vcore hitting my max 32M PI stable FSB of 545FSB so no idea if FSB limited me or vcore or both heh. I was running 4x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 as well





    Now to install Vista Ultimate SP1 64bit
