Conroe 2.4Ghz on 965G mobo, brief test...

[LandShark]

wow!!!

now I might need to put my yonah purchase on hold.....!!

[mike]

Good luck with the 975:

Section 3.10...Especially the footnotes. May be SOL

EDIT: Beware datasheet is Merom, SV requirements are the same as Conroe

Time to look into modding the P5WD2-E to reduce startup vcore.

Conroes running on 975X is for sure possible - early previews of Conroe were all run on the Intel BadAxe 975X board, but had a mod to supply less voltage. I have heard from several reliable sources that the latest Rev. boards can be modded to run Conroe - but still waiting to find out what they were.

I am wondering if simple manual startup vcore reduction enough to get the chip to post.

Can you run 2 super pi 1Mb and post the results here?

better to let victor work

yonah is 2 fast for dualpi 1 m

yonah
8M dualpi (by dennis bode hwluxx Germany)

54,4 sec

[Feanor]

Just out of curiosity, what is the probability that these results are pure rubbish?

A 2.4-2.6 ghz conroe is equal to a 7+ ghz p4? WTF

I have a hard time believing this but I hope everything I see is true.

Conroe is NOT a P4. P4 is NetBurst, Conroe is not. And NetBurst was slower architecture ever since it was launced. P4 has twice the pipeline steps of a Conroe, so it is not hard to predict P4 will be MUCH slower. Still, the Conroe results are very, very impressive. It makes me remember good old P-II times.

what about this board maybe? http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produc...il.php?UID=713 .would be nice to find out how they moded the earlier p5wd2-p to run with conroe . anyone know what was done ?

[REBEL900]

Impressed!

dual pi_8m = 54.xxx sec ??
Yonah ??

[mine]

dual pi_8m = 54.xxx sec ??
Yonah ??

yes victor

T2600@3,0 stock air cooled no mods

though this ES Yonah above is about one sec slower in 1m as Hicookies one
in the Yonah competition thread

@2,9 20,4 sec vs. 21 sec

Anyone wanting one of these awesome boards can get them in a store near you, or you can wait for our equally impressive i975x chipset motherboard, which is going to be released after we upgrade our platform to support the all new "Conroe" CPU chip coming out from Intel.

That is from abits press release on 3-15.

If you can find a AW8D or AW8D-max they would probably run the conroe.
None to be found in the US,maybe some can be found in China now.

Cool.

you mean the one shown at IDF? It was an Intel D975XBX Bad Axe board...

[Dagalidis]

I'm trying to imagine what HIPRO5 can do when Conroe will arrive in his LAB...

[ORCBEAST]

What programs / applications will benefit from SSE4?

Does the Merom have SSE4 ? I would assume due to it being the same as Conroe just less Cache and FSB.

Additional Comment:
Victor I saw you had some problems with OC. But can u get ur timings any lower ? Is that posible with ur current BIOS ?

Plz someone sponsor him a 1GB STICK of PC2 8000 Corsair 1000Mhz @ 5-4-4-9 timings :P hehe..
Or just give him 1GB of DDR2 coz his sitting with 256MB haha.

yes

but taiwanese fanboys are very fast

LOL. I'll be doing that today at work. Keep in mind that spec seems to be merom and I'm not sure if the dual voltage/sleep mode applies to Conroe. One of the things I picked out that was interesting is that each core can run at different frequencies and different voltages, independantly. Pretty wild for sure. The startup sequencing looks different from presler and may have something to do with. But then again FUGGER's XPRO did get initialized but maybe that was when the MCH came out of reset and hit the DDR with some default init code to get it going. Definately has something to do with VID and power up sequenceing and/or timing.

[d4n13l]

Frick this is nuts...I leave XS for a few days and THIS is what happens, holy hell!!!

Hopefully Shuttle will be FAIRLY ontop of things and will do what they can to get an XPC on the market that supports Conroe in the not to distant future, I can't even imagine having that kind of power available in a SFF system.

Shuttle presented a Conroe ready XPC at the CeBit, the SD37P2.

[Andrewv]

Amazing !!!

in stock less than 22 sec ...

[Dagalidis]

yes

Taiwanese fanboys are fast but Hipro5 will MOD even mousepad to break all WR... LOL

amazing!

Hi Everybody!

I sell DFI,and Gskill and downgrade asrock 939 dual-sata2 and 3000+..

so upgrade yonah or conroe in the future? or wait?
my T2300 shipped,but not have hands yet..

aopen i975x-YDG (300$)+ T2300(180$)=480$ (I think mobo is too expensive)
or
I saw conroe mobo'a(100$?)+ 2,4ghz conroe(316$)=416$

And which is faster? Anybody tested same clock?

[d4n13l]

Conroe is faster, but you can't buy it in the next months...

[iboomalot]

dual 8m pi in 54.4 secs is BS

lets see some screen shots with PiFast

[over@locker886]

yes, that is problem..

What difference in superpi? (yonah vs conroe)
/I heard conroe and merom is same chip/

[ORCBEAST]

Okey hmm that thing has more settings to F *** around with. Not to mention How do we know whats fast if I score 20 how fast is that ? Is there a comparable table u can put up so we can check where it will lay.

[iboomalot]

I want to see a screen shot like this one of your 54.4 secs dual Pi

http://www.fileshosts.com/DFI/NF4_SL...32m_24m19s.jpg

no way you are doing a 18 min 32m and 54.4 sec 8m it doesn't scale that way.

also says test 1 was aborted in that screen shot you posted too.
