Intel Xeon 3060 First result! 56K soon to be DEATH!

[phelan1777]

I so should order one but I am indecisive

[Vulcan]

I'm beginning to wonder how accurate these core temps are on my 3060's.

Now that I've started pushing them, the socket temp actually ends up being higher than core temp. Something seems a little off.

yes the socket temp is off, mine jumps from 50 to 60 to 95 in a matter of seconds on a P5-B then back to 50 and 60 while TAT and coretemp remain rock steady during orthos

I don't know, my socket temp has always been pretty reliable. With my 6300 it was consistently started out about 10C lower than core temp, and then crept up to about 5C lower.

ordered a 3060 from newegg yesterday and got a l631f561 will have to wait until monday to play with it as they dicked around with sending the motherboard out.

I ordered one on Monday and it just arrived from newegg. Exact same chip you have:

XEON 3060
L631F561

I'm testing in a P5B dlx right now at 400*9
it failed orthos immediately @ 1.35vcore

my vdroop on p5b is terrible so I might need to do the pencil mod tonight./ brb

EDIT

okay, I just set 1.45vcore in bios. (idle= is 1.416) (load =1.3840v!!!!) I watched the vcore drop in AI suite right before my eyes and Orthos failed immediately after the drop..

0.034 total vdroop
0.066 total vdrop (small fft)
this sux. I'm not doing anymore testing until I do the pencil mod.

good luck with the pencil mod. Im thinking about going to a friends house to throw this chip in just to see what it can do. have one with a asus p5w dh deluxe and one with a aw9d-max. trying to just have the patience till my new mobo comes on monday though........

Pencil mod got the 3.6 stable.

Before pencil mod

bios 1.45
idle 1.416
load 1.3840

after
------------------

bios 1.45
idle 1.4240
load 1.4160

temps are awesome 27c idle (apogee block)
411*9 was a fail in orthos at the same vcore
gotta kick it up some more

I have a 2nd shot at 4ghz. another 3060 on monday. lemme know how yours goes.

[fhpchris]

no price cuts on the Xeons guys, grab them up while they are hot

glad to hear the pencil mod helped out with it. Ill definantly update the thread with my results come monday night.

which will undoubtedly make them a whole lot less popular when compared to the 6600 a 10$ diffrence is one thing but if they arent going to drop the price on the xeons theres going to be a whole lot more than a 10$ diffrence between the 2.

Mabye we will just have to buy other kinds of UP Xeons

[Norz]

Xeon 3060 + Abit QuadGT 1066strap + Crucial 10th Anni sub4ghz spi1M

My best so far, this chip does over 4300mhz on water, love the Xeons.

Wow! Very nice ram clock/cpu clock combination!



I just received my 2nd Xeon from Newegg. This one shipped from jersey warehouse. L643G009

I am going to compare it to my other one. I hope this is better. That topped out at 3.6ghz. 3.7 was unstable no matter what voltage. we'll see...wish me luck.

best of luck with the new xeon. Ill be testing my l631f tonight if it doesnt perform well I wont be getting another cpu until the end of april most likely

I installed the L643G009..

Not good. I didn't change any settings and windows couldn't even complete loading. tried higher vcore 1.5-1.6 and made it into windows but orthos would stop after 1 minute or less!!!

Lets just say that chip isn't in my rig anymore.

Back to the L631F. Good luck

I'm looking into getting one of these but I don't want a week 40+ Xeon my week 42 Conroe can't do 3.6Ghz stable. has anyone ordered this cpu within the last 8 days from the egg and still got a week 31?

[caligula]

Time to revive this thread.
Just tested two 3060's, L629. Mobos used: pn5-e sli and g33m-ds2r, as coolers zalman cnps7700AlCu and TT SonicTower, both with arctic silver 5 correctly applied
Although the coolers don't get really hot, coretemp and speedfan report horrible load temps (above 75 C) at around 3.2GHz so clocking them above 3.4 would inherently involve water.
As a matter of fact one of them would not go past 3.1GHz orthos stable on air no matter what.
I have another two chips as reference for the boards/coolers, a 6400 which primes stable at 3.2GHz and a 4300 perfectly stable at 3.3GHz, both at default vcore.
And a big "no,no" to the witty grandmas around here, xeons are not binned for lower voltages or temps, just rebranded 6600's.

I got a xeon 3060 some timeago. L644F011 as i seen that new cpu:s don't oc so good i can't complain on this with P5K DLX as many said need a littlebit higher vocre

[Charley2020]

I like to get my xeon 3060 running OC in a Server Environment. In Fact 24/7.

Till now it runs rockstable (24h Orthos Blent) at 3375Mhz with 1,35V under Water at about 54 Degree while under load.

What are your OC rockstable Settings which you can recommend for 24/7 ?

My xeon runs a little hot. Guess it is the Apogee GT

Hi guys,

I've had my 3060 for a while now. I bought it from http://www.priceguidenetwork.com/ and asked Phil for a specific batch # (Batch # L709A523).

Here are some of my results:

3600MHz at 1.28Vcore




3770MHZ @ 1.32Vcore




3907MHz @ 1.4Vcore




4104MHz at 1.45Vcore.




4153MHz @ 1.5Vcore



One hell of a CPU, I run it day to day at 3770 @ 1.32Vcore.

damn xeon chips seem great has anybody used new one that have sse4 because i was wondering if that would boost performance

SSE4 is for 45nm Penryn and up processors. Not released yet.

nope correction its on xeon x3220

No current Intel cpu's have SSE4 period. Penryn only!

say if it did what would that mean for performance and ur link didnt work
