Wolfdale, 965 chipset and FSB...

[Viss]

I have tried E8400 and E8500 on me good old Commando. Board is unmodded only changed AS5 under the sinks. Using Tuniq Tower in a ~20 deg C room. Was surprised by the results

E8400 Q746A328


E8400 590FSB air: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=303044

After that the E8500 Q745A554. Before i started i thought id be very happy if it does 590 again but i was wrong... Wonder if i can do this again on another board, max FSB on air validated = 620FSB:

Good results or perhaps bugged

Nice Loc.o

Must be WR max FSB on air.


You're Elite!

Very nice sir!

Oh btw, I have just sent you a Private Message!

[s0lid]

How they all hit that kinda FSB???
Is dat even possible :P

nice chip

[Zucker2k]

Amazing, loc.o! What vcore for the various fsbs?

[TheGoat Eater]

this is making me want to get that commando that I was looking at on newegg.

[loopy83]

Looks like, that E8x00 runs better on P965 then on P35.... is that right?

Amazing, loc.o! What vcore for the various fsbs?

Thanks Zucker2k. 6x620mhz was with 1.35v set in bios. I thought maybe it was setfsb (for 620 i boot at 500) but tried again and it boots fine with 6x600 from bios...

Intense FSB, if worried about a bug, just run some SPi as that'll quickly clear up any confusion. My P35 Neo2 will report sub-3GHz clockspeeds in Windows if I boot with half multipliers or FSB above 450MHz. I should have snapped a screenshot of my sub-10s SPi 1M run at "2700Mhz". Could be a similar problem with your board. CPU-Z always gave me the correct speed though.

coollllllllllllll

[SynGroW]

Great CPU's loc.o

Are you going to do a LN2 run with them?

[outlandos]

Absolutely awesome FSB marks there!

I can't wait to receive my E8500 next week!

[Chicco85]

That's so sweet....

I'll put an E8500 on a 965 board too (DFI 965). We'll see what can i squeeze from those pieces of hardware.

[Pomal]

It's Great ;-)

[PPInDaHouse]

that cpu really deserves LN2

[YukonTrooper]

Did you need to update your BIOS?

[Gautam]

LN2...now

Indeed Dinos that was the first thread i thought about.

[dinos22]

yeah now that you have the same results i must say there seems to be something in design or whatever it is that they did with this 965 B2 chipset that really works well

i REALLY hope manufacturers will now sit down and figure out WTF is going on

i have C1 965 board and my results are no different
i will try and buy a C2 965 board and hopefully be able to push the limits

[PcCI2iminal]

very impressive!its good to see Commando on the top
congrats man

[laragirl83]

That is why I wont buy a new mobo for now!
Im gonna stick to my P5B Deluxe, will see how an E8400 will perform!

[Zeus]

Very nice find, looks like i have to downgrade my motherboard?

Another observation is that these wolfdales seem to need more Vcore on P35 based boards than on x38 based boards.

Can anyone confirm this?
