There are not many other people (if not none) that test their hardware so thorough as eva does. If there's nothing interesting in it for you please just read on.

Agree.

Of course, YOUR contribution to this thread and this site can be called revolutionary

If you don't like what you see, why even bother posting

Continue your work plz EVA2000, for everyone else who does like what he's reading and what you're trying to investigate.

@ t-break looks like dvdshrink takes advantage of the 4 cores,

[vanovich]

anyone have a link to system tools? nice work eva .

[eva2000]

thanks loc.o and thorgal

It's nice that this thread is appreciated

I've swapped my E6600 out and Q6600 back in for some X1900CF/X1900XTX testing for now. Asus P5B Deluxe has been ordered and awaiting delivery and also eVGA 680i and eVGA 8800GTX samples for review/testing are on the books as well so pre-Xmas fun is coming

nice work!

Ah yes dvdshrink tests...amazing how this old app can take advantage of 4 cores too! Will get around to dvdshrink tests with the same dvd again http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=107518 for you a little later

vanovich, thanks you can find systool at http://www.techpowerup.com/systool/

[widman]

thanks eva2000,

I had been looking information whether badaxe 1 support kentsfield.

[death metal]

Heya eva, you may want to check out my own investigation though the BIOS I used is older so I am really not sure about how similar or different it will be compared to yours.

You can find my investigation here: http://sleektech.nl/~dm/review/intel...x-note-04.html

You may want to check the previous and succeeding pages. Good luck.

Btw, if you want to break 350FSB++, use Bad Axe 2

Here's my multi-only overclock

Btw, if you want to break 350FSB++, use Bad Axe 2

the XBX2 maxed @ 390ish with Q6600 (470fsb on P5B DX) for me (afaik FUGGER have same issue) ... nothing a bios can't fix

XBX2 is awesome with conroe

roomtemp 22c
E6600 "ES" Step 5 B1
Intel Bad Axe 2
2gig Team Group 667 "D9"
Tuniq Tower 120
OCZ GXS 700W
XFX 8800GTS 660/1000

1M
CAS3
prime

this board is a keeper

[eva2000]

Thanks death metal added your notes to my semi official d975xbx thread http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=2804

XBX2 looking sweet!

great work eva..

[eva2000]

Thanks..

Moved onto P5B Deluxe and my Q6600 now capable of a much higher fsb

To start 3500Mhz - 9x389FSB quad stressprime at 1.4000v (1.5v set in bios, 1.4720v windows idle droop to 1.4000v )

Idle


Load


Seems 2nd cpu on the Q6600 with cpu2 + cpu3 run alot cooler than cpu0 + cpu1

[VictorWang]

[bofors]

Continue your work plz EVA2000, for everyone else who does like what he's reading and what you're trying to investigate.

Ditto, I also find Eva's detailed results on BadAxes to be very valuable.
