Well chuffed me
Big thanks to Q56_Monster over at EVGA Forums!
Without his help i never would have achieved this!

EDIT:
Also beat 2x guys using Phase on the same CPU in WPrime32M!

Rig while benching:

[Thrmionicshaman]

Sweet! Congratulations to you.The new Gulftowns look like big fun. Is that full tilt on the CPU multiplier?

[Mutant_Tractor]

Nopes, Looks like iv got a lot more headroom
Would like to point out this is an A0 CPU

Recently bought a pot from Otti to see what this can do under LN2

[Mydog]

Nice little chip you got there and a good result. Have you done any Vantage runs yet?

Here's my Vantage result with 980-x on water.

[Mutant_Tractor]

Hi man,
No vantage runs yet, im not a fan of 3D benches due to my crap GPUs and random scores, id much rather 2D benches like WPrime and SPi,
I have 2x GTX280's, 1x GTX260 and 3x 8800Ultras

[Mydog]

Ok, I'll try to hit the 5 GHz to night with cooled water and do some WPrime and SuperPI runs. Yuo've got the Q3QP like me right?
I've also got a Q3FE but it's half dead now, did some LN2 benching with it and hit 5,6 GHz.

[Beleno]

wow, very nice cpu! great job

[belmontrich]

looks hot mate.. i envy your set-up..

[PytonOrm]

Thats not core i7 980 X cuz the cpu has stock speed of 3,33ghz ! and yours is 3,07ghz

[Mutant_Tractor]

Yep im Q3QP too
Im just using a standard WCing loop no chillers etc,
Iwaki RD-30>Sqiftech Apogee XT>PA120.3>EK400 Res>Iwaki RD-30 (I have another PA120.2 that i can whack in the loop if i feel like it )
Im gonna get a Q3FE hopefully, LN2 it
How did you half kill it?

@Beleno - Cheers dude great chip waiting on my Q3FE

@PyronOrm - you need to research a bit more mate, 3.07GHz IS 980-X its a Q3QP the Q4EG is 3.33GHz Rev B1 mine is RevA0

@belmontrich - Cheers man!

Your loop is similar to mine, I'm using DCC pluss in a XSPC 5,25 res> PA120.3>Apogee XT with no chillers.
As I live in Norway all I've to do to get chilled water is to open the window/door and place the system close to it, it's -10 C outside
I've got now idea how the Q3FE half died, it boots with vcore below 1,2 but just bsod with anything above

[zalbard]

Dang, this is pretty sick, what was the BIOS-set voltage?

Q3FE / Q3QP arent 980x , That s only pre sample Gulftown.

Q3VG (3.33Ghz B0) and Q4EG (3.33Ghz B1) are 980x

[PytonOrm]

hmmm gpu-z sys Ati Hd 5800 and HD 5900 ? weird

[Mydog]

Yes its weird but I wanted to try out quadfire on my R2E and I already had 2x 5870's so the only solution was a 5970. I now got a P6T7 and 4x 5870 that I will try out today.

Ok

Ahh cool
I might run my rig outside, im unsure how reliable the temp sensors on my cores are though, showing 36-46*C when prinning @ 5.1GHz with my fans on full blast through the rad and on the shipset (All Scythe Ultra Kase 3000 150CFM fans + Scythe Kama Flex 80mm 90CFM fans)

Hmm, that doesnt sound right... did it only start after the LN2?

Dang, this is pretty sick, what was the BIOS-set voltage?

Voltage i set was 1.58VCore

Q3FE / Q3QP arent 980x , That s only pre sample Gulftown.

Q3VG (3.33Ghz B0) and Q4EG (3.33Ghz B1) are 980x

Ahh gotcha, that said RevA0 is far superior to RevB0 much like with i7-975's,
I know of someone who has both Q3QP, Q3FE, Q3VG + Q4EG and by his results under LN2 the best performing is by far the Q3FE (6.5-6.6GHz) then Q3QP (6.4GHz) then Q3VG (6.2GHz) and finally Q4EG (6.1GHz) it may not seem like a lot but there are worl records to be had

[Mydog]

Hmm, that doesnt sound right... did it only start after the LN2?

It started during the LN2 run after about 4 hours, thought it was ice problem with the first memslot at first.

[Mutant_Tractor]

For sure you insulated right?
Condensation is a killer...

[Mydog]

Yes insulation was good, but after 4 hours ++ I got some ice on the first mem slot.

[Mutant_Tractor]

Hmm, could it have anything to do with it shorting out and perhaps messing with the mem controller on the chip?

[Mydog]

thats my thought too, cause it bsods on everything but stock vtt

[Mutant_Tractor]

That definatly sounds like your mem controller is gone then
And theres very little you can do to a broken chip :/

[Mydog]

The only thing to do is to set the vcore to 2,2 and say godbye

[Mutant_Tractor]

Hahahaha!
Well you can run it at stock volts for the rest of its life on air
