Conroe Extreme X6800@3.793G On Air Cooling

[LowRun]

Imagine what it will do on a DFI mobo.

Sudden Death Syndrom?

[mursaat]

Very good results!

What's most chocking to me is the vcore needed. Is that because those are ES or that's going to be the usual when the chips get to retail? 1.58v for 65nm seems like a lot (heck it's a lot for 90nm AMD, but maybe you can't compare that), but if the chip can handle it it's OK for me

As far as getting a lot more speed though....not so much.....still working on this. Of course, that MB in the picture is most definatly not a Bad Axe.

may I ask
what happened to your 31 th countdown with the 6800 EE ?

[Waus-mod]

bad axe died....waiting for a replacement to show up tomorrow

[mine]

will it be a bad axe 2 ?

[PoL]

No unlocked multi?

Good god this is nice...

I'm still very seriously looking at a Shuttle supporting Conroe...and it'd be really nice to be in that 3-3.5GHz range on the I.C.E. cooler in that kind of a portable LAN box.

Congrats WWM...very nice indeed.

getting a rev 304 this time ?

getting a rev 304 this time ?

Hopefully...I really can't wait to see the X6800 pushed to it's limits...I'm getting too damn ancy waiting for cash for a new system, and for shuttle to release a new XPC /w Conroe support.

These scores/results aren't helping...but keep 'em comin'.

When this all goes retail someone better get a conroe to 6GHz under LN2 in time.

Early ES chips are barely hitting 5GHz...and there's only been a few of those instances...so I'm not sure how quickly 6GHz will come...but I'm sure it won't take long.

[theteamaqua]

still waiting for 4GHz on air, maybe a DFI motherboard is crucial

Nice work! that Heatsink is huge!

[computerpro3]

wow

blow up probably

The only real killer DFI was the Expert AFAIK. I've built 10 systems with Ultra-D's and SLI-DR's and not a single issue with any of them. No boards died and no parts at all died in the process.

So yes, some DFI mobos are screwed. But most are not.

edit: wtf double post how is that possible with the 30sec limit?

I had 3 experts, and 2 dead cpu's. But I must say that my sli-d worked great when it decided to turn on.

This noob had an opteron some 550mhz higher than you ever did.

Buuuut anyways, I can't wait to get a conroe system. Those ebay chips are looking more and more tempting.

QFT.

[computerpro3]

QFT.

want my expert? I'll give it to you free. It works great except for one flaw, which I'll leave you to figure out!

edit becasue I'ev gotten 3 pm's asking for it: I was kidding. It kills cpu's, and I'm rma'ing it and selling it.

4.2 - 4.4Ghz

I think my LS just spunked itself, and so did I.

[uclajd]

OK that's disgusting, but based on Collaler's 4 GHz on air with 1.78v, I am calling 4.5 on Vapo.

Which means my everyday gaming rig will SuperPi in the 12's...
