WR!!! 666fsb by Oskar-Wu on DFI P35-T2R

[Gautam]

What you don't want 6Ghz Gautam???

Hey I'd have no complaints if I saw you do it. Provided you mailed me the chip in question of course.

[blind_ripper]

say dfi's P35 looks nice but DDR3 version ?
and 8X 8X cf or 16X 4X

k thx this meens blitz for me

[mup0]

Hell YEAH! SuperB!

[tetete]

LOL

670 FSB

amazing @_@

[Algeriano]

DFI roxx & nice mobo

[Kunaak]

Victor it is important you report all the facts regards the speeds we see, some end users will take this as being air cooled and complain quite heavily to DFI when their boards do no where near as good.
.

Tony,

you are exactly right.
alot of people dont take the time to think, how is he getting these results, and just blindly assume the board will do this kinda FSB easily.

sub zero cooling, high chipset cooling, and various bios tweaks are what it usually takes to get this kinda FSB.
but too many people take this kinda thing, as "look at what the DFI board does at STOCK", which is very misleading.
yes... the board is at stock, but the cooling is not.
if you ignore mentioning how the OC was done, then a great deal of people will assume there was nothing to this shot, except the board itself, but the truth is much different.
yes, it is stock.
but the cooling is what made it possible.
so its kinda a double edge sword...
yes, it was stock, but no, it was not done in a way that most people would be doing thier OC.
failing to mention that, just gives people crazy ideas of what the board is capable of.

I think on WR's people need to be more thorough in telling how they did the OC, otherwise, it definatly feels misleading.

however for this OC...
it definatly shows, this board has insane potential behind it, and I definatly will be picking one up, the second I can find one at newegg.

[Spacemaster]

Price?

[Algeriano]

max vdimm?

[Charloz24]

max vdimm?

How about...plenty

[Sesto Sento]

How about...plenty

3v for ddr2 and 2.5v for ddr3 would be nice

[turtle]

I have to believe it's at least 3v, considering that's what the 650i board had. I doubt they'd step back from that in any way.

IIRC the p965-Dark went up to damn near 3.4v.

Oh yes, there will be vdimm.

I share Charloz's opinion.

As for DDR3, who knows...But I bet it'll be enough (for new DDR3 kits to come out demanding the high vdimm requirements for the speeds peeps will get from lower-rated kits at higher voltage)

I know Oskar has been testing with a cascade, so this may be a screenie with the cpu heavily chilled.

Chilling CPU's does help with fsb overclocking, so you may see a little less than this on air cooling

Definitely true, my E6600 B1 ES cpu on water max FSB = 501FSB. On Kayl Black FrozenSS 1/4HP doing 536-540FSB on Asus Commando.

@8x536FSB





Still slow times compared due to being B1 stepping compared with my E6700 B2 @8x532FSB 1:1 4-4-4-5

of course, 666fsb under cascade.
but who cares. as I know, this mobo is benchable at 600fsb on Air, no doubt, a GEM chip is necessary.
and p35 chipset also have difference.
only 10% chipset can go higher than 600fsb as XX mobo manufacturer tested.

Dam that's a gem cpu for sure 600FSB air... every single core 2 i have played with hits an FSB wall around 490-514FSB on water

I hope Oskar plays with other cpu steppings so he can tweak the board for best FSB for all kinds of cpus and not just his gems

[Moc]

what is a "gem"?

[turtle]

what is a "gem"?

A CPU that Oskar Wu has that was found not unlike how the rich girl (whom later turned into a blueberry) found a golden ticket in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Basicly it kicks ass and is the best thing going. A super uber clocker and thats set some WR's!

Like if you had a lass that was every you wanted in a wome shed be a Gem

Like a mate being a diamond

[proxis]

damn, it got better

672.5MHz valid

[gillll]

woot i do it reflects air/watercooling oc levels.

First of all my compliments to Oskar/Jarry and DFI staff for the good job to make available this great motherboard to all final users.

After that I totally agree with Big Toe and Kunaak about approach followed in this bench. It is very important to report cooling used during bench sessions, otherwise the message gived to all final users could be very misleading.

[Fr3ak]

Wow impressive stuff.

Of course extreme cooling is being used to achieve this, but I don't think there are many records or good results without that kind of cooling.

[andyddr]

Congrats on the WR, very impressive.

One question remains though. Is it a great chip that's given this board WR status? I'm sure it's a well built board (haven't owned a DFI that wasn't) but I for one would love to see that same chip in an Abit, Asus and Gigabyte P35.

[celemine1Gig]

Seems like a great new board from DFI.

I also totally agree that the test-details should've been mentioned from the start.

It's as always: There are the poeple who know what they are doing when it comes to overclocking, the ones who don't even remotely have a clue of what overclocking really means, and a few in between.
The second group thinks that they buy this board and then they'll be THE overclocking masters of the universe without breaking a sweat, whereas the first group knows that this kinda overclock could only have been done under extreme conditions, if the board is said to be at stock.
And if you don't tell the second group every step in "detail" (that means in a way they understand), they'll be totally lost in a few minutes, when using this board. Then they'll throw the poor board in the garbage (i.e. in today's real life: take it back to the place they bought it from and get it exchanged) and curse the day they bought this ******* motherboard.
Nothing new here.

If you build a board that is specially designed with tons of overclocking options, that most of the time only the engineers who built it understand thoroughly, this means a lot of satisfied overclockers, lots of totally frustrated noobs and nearly nothing in between. Sad but true.

Again congrats to DFI for another seemingly well engineered board.
But personally I really dislike the color scheme, while I love the current P965 Infinity's color scheme.

[Solarfall]

excellent DFI is back in the game.. now in really looking forward this board..

[s0lid]

What a sexy FSB that 666
I want that mobo
