Nehalem Overclocking @ XS

[[XC] gomeler]

Would you say a cascade tuned around -110C is sufficient for Nehalem or is there anything to be gained going colder?

[Charles Wirth]

very little gain going colder, maybe 100Mhz
the cascade is near perfect, I am yet to have a bold but or boot issue.

Very,Very nice Charles!

too fast .........and WOW is big big bandwidth , waiting 25-26k everest

[EmineM]

Looking forward to your RE II Results

[ZoLKoRn]

What i saw! that only cpu put on the socket and not have a clip lock

[Slovnaft]

so what's your preference, gigabyte or R2E?
I've been struggling with that decision; i love my ep45-ud3p so much, but RE kicked so much ass for x48.
also, is there any difference in ex58-ud5 and ex58 extreme besides one fet and an outrageous nb cooler?

[bachus_anonym]

Hehe, not too shabby, Charles

great to hear, guess it's time to break out the cascade again and store the F1EE. Cheap electricity > LN2 any day

Wow I wasn't expecting nehalem would go that high. With that efficiency the WR superpi will be broken without ever making it to 6Ghz Very nice work! Looking forward to your wprime results

[TheKarmakazi]

wow awesome! is that a cherry picked cpu though? Or is 5.4 an average extreme OC? have u tested more than 1 i965?

I believe Fugger has tested through a few chips, would make the most sense given his connections I hope retail silicon is better than the ES silicon.

These aren't bad my friend and although I don't play in "Fugger's league" it showed me some nice numbers on air.

Fugger goes Supersonic.....

Check out Fugger's sub 8 second Super Pi bench.

The man is a legend!!!

Nehalem & Core i7 on Gigabyte mobo.... Sub-8 Second Super Pi

[dinos22]

holy crap
very nice charles
magic chip too

[overcrash]

Intel I7 965 @ 5.247Ghz
Gigabyte X58 UD5
3 Stage cascade -100c
Corsair 2133 Dominator DDR3

Is that the real vCore there ?

[dinos22]

i was wondering the same

that CPU is CRAZY good if it is

bring on Wazza tweaking >> look at the puny L2 cache

[dinos22]

the BIG question that needs answers now is obviously if it can compete with E8600s in AM3/3DMARK01/03/05

any 3D benchmarks at 5.3GHz charles?

more images inbound!

2 weeks ago you told me 5Ghz.......but now 5.4Ghz amazing Charles.. we want to see Vantage 3dmark Score...

[EmineM]

most of the 3d records will fall fairly quick, super pi probably only with a very good chip

he had backups lol

[T_M]

Really good numbers as said before mate

Us Aussies have been playing with similar hardware and have struggled against coldbug on two 965's on UD5 and P6T
One chip was -85C, the other -65C!
Need to work on it more as we've not had much time yet, but working on some tips that Fugger gave.

Max clock we've seen so far was a measley 4.75GHz at 1.6V and -65C. Obviously this is crappy but we need to find out if it very early BIOS or temp or what.

[Glow9]

such a nice board

[Charles Wirth]

Yes, the vcore is correct.

The AM3 is huge, not sure where I put the screen shot and I am working on 2K1, my nature is quite low on .43 driver.

[imPurpleHaze]

Is it possible to overclock like this with the lower ones like Q940 and Q920?
