The Official X2 Overclocking Discussion Thread

[Eto]

I thought we should have one of these, right?

Hehe so FEDEX tracking has my X2 4200 scheduled for delivery by 3:30 on Tuesday. I'm not planning on going crazy with it right away, but I do like to feel out the limits of new hardware when I get it.

Long term I'd love to get a free speed grade out of it. Based on Venice OCing, what do you guys think of the X2 core potential????

Welcome to XS, Eto.

[Eto]

Thanks! =)

Anyone out there using the SN25P to overclock? hehe I guess it's not xtreme aside from the fact that it's a mini. hehe I guess it's in a category of its own?

[taco]

yours is just shipping? where abouts did you order from?

congrats on swooping one of those up, you should definatly post your results.

[Eto]

Would ya believe Ebay, of all places? lol There were still four left when I bought it, let me check...

Wow, one left looks like and a new one showed up as an auction (my purchase was buy it now).

There was a different store selling 2 of each 4800, 4600, 4400, 4200 - but they were asking well over $1200 for the 4800s and not much better for the rest.

Is e-availability that bad? I really didn't take a look around the sites, but I was planning on buying a Venice 3800 when lo and behold......X2!

Oh you betcha, the second I have results, you have results.

[Filter]

i dont think the chips are offically released yet.

[Eto]

Or supposed to be released yet... They had them in stock, maybe they just weren't allowed to ship any until tomorrow.

Well, we'll know Tuesday AM if I find a fedex box containing a note that says 'gotcha!'.

time to dump my venice 3000+ and pick one of these up. i see 2 X2 4200+ on eBay

[Zebo]

You're really gonna put all that stuff in a shuttle SFF?! gluck May limit your run ability not to mention overclocking. I think that PSU only has 17A 12 volts.

i see 2 X2 4200+ on eBay

warning: make sure they aren't just cloaked "pre-orders" that people list before release to get a little free cash.

The Official(or soon to be)X2 Overclocking Thread

Actually once the X2s are released, this would be known as the official X2 Discussion Thread ...as the overclocking thread would have ONLY results in it .

Hello NickK, where did you order yours from?

[IYP]

lol i just but a bid on a 4400...hope its good...and tht i win lol

[ewitte]

I thought some places were starting to get in around the 7th?

[politenessman]

monarch emailed me the other day about pre orders. they will be shipping on or a little before 6/16. slight price gouging. the 4400+ 2mb l2 looks like the best buy at around $50 more than the 4200+ 1mb l2. was going to order mine now, but i pre ordered a venice and after getting it wished i had waited. winchester/venice = no difference except lower temps, slightly less bandwidth. x2 will def be better performance but i will wait for gouging to end and also see which are best steppings.

very truly yours,
politenessman

Probably overclockers.co.uk, theyre saying 21st, probably more like the beginning of july knowing them.

Yup. OcUK. Will have to wait and see.

[Eto]

Zebo : Possible, but I have faith in Shuttles. My last SN85G4V1 with a 240 watt PS (not sure about volt/amperage) handled 2x74 raptors, a 0.13u 3200, a 6800GT, Audigy2, & dvd burner without breaking a sweat. The .09u dual core power consumption is less than a .13u single core, so it should be ok. Besides I'm running 1 raptor now, no audigy, and using a 6800GTO.....still crossing my fingers though.

[Agent-JCDenton]

Yup. OcUK. Will have to wait and see.

Komplett have the same dates but they are selling the 4400+ for £390! almost £40 cheaper than most places. £6.00 for P&P.

[jdogg707]

I too will be using a SN25P to overclock my 4400+, I've got 2GB of OCZ Platinum PC3200 and will be picking up a 7800 card when they are released....hopefully this system refresh will keep me going strong until this time next year!

Is that the RRP excluding VAT @17.5%? If so the total cost would be over 450ukp.
