Intel Nehalem Absolutely Insane -> 975 ^^

amazing mobo and chip
keep pushing it

[PcCI2iminal]

congrats pcriminal and yoko!
thats a sweet chip... amazing to see 5g on air when most 965s cant even get near that with ln2! how does it clock on ln2 though?

Sasha i did a quick session last friday ,with only LN2 enough for the first screen

5280MHz with 1.48v

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=553273

I dont know yet but for this chip 25x is not a good multiplier to use,i will try to get more LN2 tomorrow morning but we are in the middle of japanese hollidays called golden week and i think all LN2 sellers will be closed.

amd managed to hit 7g on liquid helium, but on air they still clock the same
intel amanged to hit 5g on air, but i suspect on ln2 they still clock the same

i think intels approach makes a lot more sense... i hope amd focusses on better air ocing as well instead of liquid helium results that maybe 2 or 3 oc teams in the whole world can reproduce or beat.

wha?
i think you didnt follow i7 ocing very closely, most chips, even 920s, can hit 4.5 on air now, not fully stable though...
but going cold barely helps at all, going from air to ln2 sometimes only gains you 100mhz. most of the time its more, a couple hundred mhz,

well said

but i7 chips dont really scale properly with cold for some reason

for somehow the multiplier affect the clock ,these XE chips with unlocked multipliers has some serious issue with some multipliers -> IMC/Multipier relation maybe??
but it not happens with multiplier locked like 920 or 940,you just need to set the highest muliplier and go but they are limited by bclk

All I have to say is this:

OOPS, I just saw that SP32m time..
HOLY CRAP!
6m 49.515s on air..
That ought to have the boys wetting their shorts come morning when the US wakes up!

hahahahahah

[dinos22]

I ran 2 32M under cold with D0 cpu under cascade.

Very low vcore for 5300Mhz

show me 5.6GHz now

[Pt1t]

show me 5.6GHz now

I ll keep it for GOOC :p

Amazing chip!!!


Retail on these will be around $1,000?

i think so
in italy 1000€ too

[ethomaz]

Amazing AIR OC

[.::NeO::.]

i think so
in italy 1000€ too

yeah m8, u're right

everithing cost so f***ing more in Italy damn.

for example: my gtx280 payed 409€ @ 11 february 2008...that's like 620$

and still today i can find 965 EE @ 993 - 1000€ ... that's like around 1500$

.........

sometime i hate my country

[carpo93]

sometime i hate my country

of course , but when i'm having lunch i love our country

[.::NeO::.]

of course , but when i'm having lunch i love our country

hell yeah man! Italian food FTW

ok.... think it's better to stop with OT

[SoF]

i7 is now cranking up

[gaidin]

the 975XE looks to be a great chip PcCI2iminal and that Biostar board just keeps delivering even on air

[Fr3ak]

Finally some i7 lovin'

[crio]

WOW

Astonishing stuff.Great cpu....

[jcool]

Nice Pcriminal, seems like we have the same CPUs, Q1HH here as well



Still playing with mine, only had it for a week or so.. haven't tried multipliers below 25 as of yet, seems worth a shot though. Around 4,8 /w HT 3D benchable on weak SS...

[Beleno]

amazing chip, keep pushing

[Dark-Energy]

Nice overclock. Especially since it's on air.

[perkam]

0_o I'm pretty sure Intel contracted extra-terrestrials to design this chip. 4ghz on Air is impressive, 5Ghz on air is revolutionary.

awesome clock jcool

question: how DFI perform with D0 chips? i mean, have u noticed better cpu oc on this mobo than asus (for example)?. Usually DFI have that "little extra" that makes the difference, at least that's what i read in a lot of reviews but even here on XS.

what's your opinion m8?

thanks and congrats

[jcool]

Thanks

Now, as to your question... Honestly, I don't like Asus. Never did, but since those incidents with the Z7S workstation-class mobos dying on me/us WCGers in masses and seeing their RMA policy and stubbornness to admit they build a POS mobo that costs 450€, they're pretty much dead to me.

Like I said I haven't had much time to play with this particular CPU yet, and I haven't tried it on any other motherboards, but from what I gather the only real difference to be had is with the max BCLK, which I am obviously not interested in with an unlocked mult
I'll leave who wins for max BCLK for other to judge, but eva2000 has been getting really great results with his DFI there, also the evga classified and RIIE seem to be able to go beyond 230BCLK given the right CPU, mem, and settings, but apart from that it's personal preferences rule I guess. I have been using DFI for almost 2 years now, and mostly like the voltage stability and durability of their digital VRM (I run 24/7 BOINC load on phase change with high overclocks, not many boards can handle that strain in the long run).

I will also say that as of bios 0227, the board behaves very well with my D0 CPU, OCing is a breeze. Only issue I had is that it didn't like my Diablo 2000 mems using Micron D9GTR, but I am not convinced it's the boards's fault, as I was having issues with them on a Gigabyte as well. New Diablos carry Samsung HCF0 by the way, no more issues with those

Oh yeah, I also got this:



Pi time sucks tho, wrong mem divider...

ok, thank u so much m8

i've had a lot of asus mobo in past few years so i don't know too much about other brands, but your answer is pretty much what i wanted to know about DFI

i asked u 'cause i'm a first timer with DFI brand (and with i7/X58 aswell)

thanks for the info and hope to see some real numbers when u have time to test this new 975

[crustytheclown]

Great chips you got guys!!!!

overclocking are like drugs addicts =)

Farrrkkkkkk.... Nice overclock, especially for air!
