QX6700 on the mini-cascade - 1st results

[Pedro Rocha]

To much work, finally I managed some time to do a quick test of a retail QX6700

Since Ricky made me a mini-cascade with VapoLS mounting kit, is real pratical to mount the CPU on it - even more quick than the Tuniq

Poor Mini-Cascade (orignal VapoLS + original Promie compressors) the heat of the 4 cores really give the cascade a hard time, the temperatures start to raise really quickly (from -70ºC on idle to -40 or less in load)

Here is a photo :




First let's find how many MIPS do I have under the hood..



82 thousand MIPS ..not bad

Now the inevitable CineBench



9 Seconds


Now let's check how fast can it run 4 SuperPI's in each core..



Timings really bad since the memory are not optimized by any means..

And finally the CPU Score of 3D Mark2006



6.500 : almost doubles the X6800 score..eheh


I really need to test this CPU on Ricky's new 3 Stager ..anyway a few more results in the Mini-cascade in the next few days , I think is time for 3D Mark2006 action

looking really good
you got a pic of the cascade ? (or it's the one in phase section ?)

[Terminal 8]

How much you want for that mini cascade?

[Gautam]

Love those SuperPI scores, and especially the Vapochill mounting on a cascade.

[Charles Wirth]

Falling right between my modded LS and tripple stage, nice mini. Good stuff

[Nanometer]

A bridge for SLI and no second card? Either you are wishful, or you forgot their isn't a second card lol. Great results. 4.5GHz quad core is amazing =-o

hi pedro,

what is the QX stepping ?

good luck under three stage

Realy only 1,475 V ??? or it isn't right?

[Drag]

how do you optimize the memory?

[VictorWang]

nice mini-cascade, I love that
-70c idle for QX6700 is good !

Nice coolink fan

Here is a result of this QX6700 air cooled - using a Tuniq Tower on the Abit A9WD



At 1.6v with Enhaced SpeedStep and C0 active (in idle low cpu to 6x and around 1.40v) runs CineBench without any problem at 3.900Mhz, time no to bad 12 sec

Temps are more than aceptable for 24/7 use at this speed

[VoRtAn_MaDgE]

That mini-cascade is ...damm nice work...as usual on Ricky.
That's a fine setup for 24/7

[Hystrix^]

Very nice Pedro

[TheJollyFellow]

I'm kinda surprised the SuperPi timing isn't lower, a X6800 does those times at 4.5-5GHz, and with twice the cores, I'd think it would do it at least a little bit better

[STEvil]

try running it 4 times at once on an x6800 vs the times this gets running it 4 times at once.

[Drag]

how would you know what superpi test it is?

[Dynasty]

nice results.....3D 06 is all QX 6700 1st page ORB/8800 gtx's in sli,
without one is pretty much pointless to even attempt 06...

[Brettbeck]

Nice results!

I'm sure there will be much more once Ricky finishes that 3 stager !

[R @ P T O R]

good job Pedro!

[Ghostwind]

Great overclock on the QX6700 pedro.

I am trying to stabilize my QX6700 on a P5B Deluxe ATM (can boot into windows but not be Orthos stable) and was surprised to see your multipliers so high.

Do all the 680i boards unlock mulitipliers on Kentsfield up to 15 ?
or only the eVGA?

[LittleDevil]

Great results... Is it QX6700 much hotter than X6800 at same voltage and speed?

Regards

Yes, really MUCH hotter than the X6800 with same voltage.

This mini-cascade hold very well a X6800 at 4.900 with 1.8v - idle near -88ºc and load around -78ºC .. - with QX6700 a 1.8v load temps reach -40ºC or more.

A much firm contact with evaporator is also needed with QX6700

For double use (X6800 / QX6700) I would say a CPEV to adjust is essential - after finish their 3 stager, I'm gonna ask Ricky to put a CPEV and a better compressor on the 2nd stage on this mini-cascade.

Here is the temperatures with X6800 at 1.84v in the mini-cascade.



As you can see the evap temperatures measure in the Fluke are exactly the same as the tempeatures measured in EVGA 680i Bios - nice
