OC Report :: Intel i5 660 :: The Life & Times of Clarkbar

I see Jesus's likeness in that paste pattern.

You guys don't want to ask me what I see in that paste pattern

He looks as if he is winking

haha, like a cloud...everyone sees something else. all i see, is terrible 05 clocks. goes to show how much more 32M is in this chip, its a shame it can't keep this efficiency another couple BCLK even.

I just love your reports 3oh6! It's always fun and pleasant to read.

Any chance of publishing a BIOS template with some basic OC's you used?

i also did a little more 32M hunting tonight and finally got a decent run out. these Clarkbar's really hold their own now that we have BIOS development opening up higher QPI ratios. when this article was first published that wasn't possible...i added a note, with the hopes that i can re-visit these results at some point with higher QPI. until then, you get a couple more screens

This is terrific. Thanks! Can't believe it took me this long to notice this thread.

Lol - indeed . Very entertaining read!!!!

But looks like carkbar has more bite to it as it looked like at first glance.

[Jor3lBR]

Thank you my friend I really appreciate that! You have a nice piece of hardware there

just for you Linus...it was all just for you
glad you enjoyed

thanks Mike, and yes...give these little buggers some QPI love and they really start to beat up on 05/pifast/32M. if only they could do AM3 as well

Thank you my friend I really appreciate that! You have a nice piece of hardware there

no problem...those were the settings i was running last night.

[3oh6]

i was just doing some prelim testing of this GPU yesterday and hammered out a decent 05.
i am not sure i will have time to really give this setup a work-over but i am trying...







Clarkbar definitely has some 05 strength, and an open 27X multi on this chip would be very interesting indeed
