SLI Bridge in SkullTrail box sure of SLI on Intel Platform

[ZoLKoRn]

Ok what have you done with ZoLKoRn, he never runs stock clocks..

have a sometime

Hehe Nice stuff, sorry I missed it before....
Now should I get my tickets and come over to Thailand for some crazy clocking, Paizol??

19k? Only? I get 19.5k with Q6600@3900 and crossfire sighly overclocked...

Overclock it! Now!

19.8k Okay for a bit OC on stock cooler are 648MHz core and mem default
it can take 21k+

btw. look seem HDR score to low maybe because used RAM only 2dimm and
run in Single-Channel mode

[DShankar]

True. It depends upon what your definition of right around the corner. Nehalem is still a generation away, which means a year or more, which is plenty of time to enjoy SkullTrail

lol I think it is generally taken that 'around the corner' means we are already midway through the current generation and the next generation is rumored to launch soon (months). I recommended people to wait on their CPU purchases starting in Nov/Dec. At that point in time, Penryn was around the corner. Nehalem..maybe next November lol?

^^ nice!

Hey ZoLKoRn:

When you get a chance can you post some bios pics or let us know in general what kind of OC options there are (like Vcore etc...)?


Please and thank you!

I don't think Dave is gonna want to see that Cinebench score

[KiD0M4N]

Damn, thats some scoring!!!

Mind giving http://www.superprime.org/ a spin? Will help me test system parameter detection and scaling as well

have a sometime

Woah.
The 3DMark06 30k record consists of 9400~ CPU points, and thats 1 QX9650 at 5.8GHz~?

9009 here, at 4GHz.

Woah.

[Zytek_Fan]

Woah, just noticed you're running 32 bit...
If you popped in Vista 64, your score in Cinebench would go way up

[alfaunits]

ZoLKoRn, can you test whether this baby accepts non-GPUs, please?:-)

[ZoLKoRn]

I can't post much results than that and for more results will come on 4th-Feb.
Intel will launch SkullTrail on 4th-Feb. 2008 this sure for day of launch

btw. so for this you seen maybe intel will killing me now !!!

[UrbanSmooth]

QX9775? Holy God!

Guys,

I hope you are going to enjoy Skulltrail, as much as we enjoyed developing it.
Couple of advises, 1st, if you don t have chillers, avoid touching the voltage offset (the extra 0.3Volts), the default voltage can go up to 1.6volts, and that is plenty for Water cooling.

Remember, you are using the processors out of specs, do it gradually, and no big jump in voltage between tries. As I promissed when we started the project, we putted enough juice in the voltage regulators, between the CPU and the Voltage Reg, the winner will always be the VR, so use it carefully.

I know that many of you are preparing some pretty insane scores with SKT, let s all have fun with it the day of launch ... let's hold the scores back for a little more

I will stop by XtremeSystems Forum to have a chat the day of launch.

Thanks for supporting Skulltrail, it is now up to you guys to make it a success!

Welcome to XS Francois.

You are up late.

Be sure to check out memset 3.5beta

Welcome to XS

Welcome indeed!!!!

is there gonna be a cheap version of this board, or a cheap version of the cpu's for this board?

anyway, its amazing that intel doubled performance again in such a short timespan. i mean, there was a long period of stagnation with just frequency increases in pentium 4's, then intel went from pentium 4 to pentium d, pentium d to core 2 duo, core 2 duo to core 2 quad, and now 2x core 2 quad, and each of those transitions was about a 2x performance increase. its in stark contrast to the gpu industry, where no real progress has been made since the 8800gtx was released in 2006.

Likely not

it's a premium board.

The cheap dual socket boards are going to be based on the San Clemente chipset or 5100 chipset. they support somewhat easier to come by ECC DDR2 memory. You most likely won't find any overclocking options on any iterations of those boards.
