[NEW STUFF] Gulftown WESTMERE-EP 6C X5680 3.33GHz Rev.B0

[cowie]

so B0 closer to retail? that would be nice 5.2 @ 1.49

When i applied "In BIOS" 1.37V but cpuz shows 1.32v, in the second screen i applied "In BIOS" 1.46v but cpuz shows 1.41v and in the last one i applied 1.54v but cpuz shows 1.49v. I have no idea why cpuz says its a single core its actually 6 cores with 12 threads

CPUz is not reading it right. Also,don't you think 1.54V is not little too high for Westmere ?

Have you tried this CPu on the EVGA classified yet?

Seems nobody gets it to work just now ik can get my hands on a westmere

[Kabauterman]

Classified only works with Desktop CPUs, no Westmere-EP's runs on.
But I think in the next months there would be a BIOS for them, but maybe not for B0 Steps only for Retails.
A0 Westmere-EPs and realy early Gulftowns are also not supported.

[jcool]

If retails (probably C-Step) are going to work, B Step should/will work too. There is usually not much difference between B and C steppings... A0 is another story, those will probably never run on evga boards (although maybe on the DP one). I am also waiting for a Westmere bios.. want to play with my X5660 on the E760

[PaulC]

just tried it out

x5680 + a single 5870

go easy on the voltage daredevils :p

[Movieman]

go easy on the voltage daredevils :p

amen to that.. 1.35v=safe..1.4vwith water= safe
above that it better be a very short bench or chilled water or SS cooling IMHO
I got to 4603 for all of 3 seconds on air and 1.4125v, 4576 for wPrime 32mb,4400 for wPrime 1024m

[PaulC]

its under water managed 4.9xx on 1.5v

JC, I have to say, that wallpaper with the terrified girl looks hilarious.

Looks good, but I'm waiting for either a quad that'll do 5.0ghz on air (we're getting closer. i7 is getting what, 4.2 to 4.4ghz on air now?) or a true 8 core. I'd be waiting anyways, I'm broke. Bring on Sandybridge (and a pay check)!

heck yeah, 2nd that !
