3930K new stepping

[andressergio]

sup guys

i read that jan 20th they start rolling the new stepping to customers, wonder if the egg will have them as they're outta stock only 3960X old stepping is

do you think the 3930K's will be the new stepping or they may mix them ?

cheers

[Hondacity]

probably new stepping they've been out of stock for 2-3 weeks

[stasio]

This is the reason,I am not jump yet in X79.
I will wait until mobo chipset and CPU get new stepping.

[Splave]

these will all do 7ghz so i hear

[sprayingmango]

Can anyone give me factual info as to what this new stepping will increase? Will it perform better? What's the difference? If it's just that Vt-d thing I could care less...

[3lfk1ng]

If it's just that Vt-d thing I could care less...

As far as anyone knows, it is JUST "that Vt-d thing". I think the optimistic people are just waiting to see reviews in hopes that the new chips somehow do something magical. I'll keep my fingers crossed for their sake.

you funny guy

just 7 ? i was hoping for more lol

whats wrong with current chipset ?

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

nothing at all

[MythSquare]

From what I heard the new stepping can play Starcraft 2 on grandmaster level. And yeah 7GHz of course.

[AndreYang]

it's 7G on air cooling what i heard from splave.

[Splave]

I didnt sign nda so im in the clear to talk about it

I'm a bit out of the loop on SB-E stuff. Did they ever sort the PCIe 3.0 transceiver problems?

[sin0822]

what PCi-E 3.0 transceiver problems? i heard their only problem is that they didn't have time to get it PCISIG certified?

I heard 200blck but it is just a rumor. I think maybe they will seem as if they OC higher, beucase most people havemn't bought CPus either b/c they are sold out or just too expensive. Most results on are ES and if retails haven't thought us anything is that they are clocking better than most ES CPUs, just not many people have them. I mean look at the WR is sitting on top of basically as ES submissions and some retails that are very high up like Loud's. BTW Newegg is not getting more until C2, it isn't just that they are out of stock for a little while, Intel ran out of CPUs which was part of the plan. I remember massman put a post up saying showing some high 167blck on a CPU, which everyone thought was C2, idk if it was C2, but it used the MSi bangbang and it has a modified clock gen to allow higher BLCk. it really idk what you really want 1.67 multiplier at that high for, other than maybe it could be a sweet spot, but BLCk dividers are good for memory speed, and i would think 1.25 and 24x and 107blck would be enough for most, but using 1.67 is nice too. if All C2 CPUs have better BLCk that would be nice, but i don't think they will. i think maybe their silicon quality might be higher, maybe intel has worked on the leakage to lower some temps. Intel needs to start working on leakage tho, for real as if they don't on the next CPU they release it will be crazy lol.

i just want they can do 5GHz HT on reasonable load volts, dont care about them as i will not bench just game etc, hope i get a decent batch

thanks for your reply sin

nice to hear

[sin0822]

they will run at high watts man, no way to get around that, maybe C2 has some better thermals, but otherwise you need a very nice watercooler to get 5ghz load stable, IMo at least you need something that can handle a 250W load.

[OC Nub]

I think Andressergio is more concerned about getting 5ghz on reasonable voltage (at or near max intel spec) for 24/7 more so than temps, he has good cooling.

Im running this chip at 4.7ghz, the difference between 4.7 and 5ghz for normal use is not going to be noticeable at all. For most of what I do default is plenty, just boring.

my watercooler can handle it perfect as i wont bench or put linx or prime on it, as i say i will just game and adjust till i get stable, same i did with my nice 2600k, i have the chance to test some chips and i probed that this lit beasts can go high and high but once you start pumping volts they degrade and to do 5GHz again will requiere lots of volts, so i decided to test that way

thanks OC Nub thats exactly what i want, i saw your chip can do it easy thats what i just want, play heavy games so any problem of stability will show up easy

[PatRaceTin]

need some 3930K with less than 1.4000 @ 5.0GHz

[lutjens]

Maybe with the new stepping, we will end up with some soon-to-be-obsolete Xeon E5s by the summer...

I say soon-to-be-obsolete because the E5 will be behind the curve once mainstream Ivy comes out...

what comes yesterday today is obsolet and sold by 40% less money...its just a matter of taste and btw Ivy wont be hexacore...

but as i say this thread is just to talk about if C2 stepping will be on stock soon and no mixed with older stepping
