Wolfdale 2.33G Overclking on a 100$ mobo :)

[CraptacularOne]

Nice results

[nachthymnen]

Pure power!!
I want it

A question, in the first screen the V-core in CPU-z is right?
1,488v for 3715Mhz?

[newls1]

Remember this is an ES sample of the wolfdale chip, who knows how the retail versions will clock, and at what Vcore might be needed...... I think the only ES chip that OCed pretty well while in the retail form are the G0 Q6600's. I think we are pretty used to seeing ES chips OC like crazy will fairly low voltage, but maybe this is a ES, that might be more like a retail??? 1.488V for 3.7GHz still is pretty damn good, concidering this chip starts life @ 2.33GHz

Well this is right.
And I've forgot that this chip start from 2.33Ghz
I can't imagine what can do the 3.16Ghz Wolfdale
Very soon the SPI 1M will be obsolete with those monster

Thanks VW for sharing. Can't wait until they arrive.

I don't think the volts are that great. Look at the G0 dc and quads and you will not think so. B2 & B3, yes. G0, no.

wow 3675mhz and 12min flat on 32M!

[heydo6]

once we start seeing es then not long till they release them .

Chill, I wasn't directing my post toward you, so when you use this " " at my post, tends to piss me off.

it's quite different overclk a 45nm than C2D/C2Q.
1. bootable fsb is much higher than benchable fsb.
2. dont scale much under cold.
fsb gained only about 20~25mhz higher when I tested under LN2.
3. coldbug=-80c (read from bios), about -110~-120c pot temp.

HAHAHAHA....welcome to the joy of AMD overclocking

I've gotta see your new hw when I come to China later this year. Maybe we can bench this time instead of sitting around and doing nothing but play with your dog

[PcCI2iminal]

great work VW and thx for sharing

[dinos22]

wow 3675mhz and 12min flat on 32M!

looks like these CPUs are not just shrunk conroe as the extra cache would not have that much impact normally....3-4 seconds tops in 32M

damn u, haha, bring ur cascade here.
buying a seat for him and I'll pay for it if it's not first or biz class
but the machine will belongs to me

[[cTx] Nooc]

lookin good Vic

[BulldogPO]

Vic, any X38 tests going on?

[NormanABates]

nice 1 there Victor....
Thanks for sharing...

[shimmishim]

very fast even on P35

thanks VW!

will there be an extreme version of this chip?

[Miwo]

thanks for giving us early results!

Honestly I was expecting much more from Wolfdale. Considering its an ES chip, its probably one of the better OCers compared to when these will hit retail. Seeing how the price difference is so small between dual vs quads, Wolfdale will only be worth it if they are much better OCers than Quad 45nm. But who knows, things could change a lot with different revisions, BIOS, etc. Was hoping to see 4GHz air on Wolfdale, but my expectations are probably too high ^_^

[Infa]

Well my friend, you have to notice that this perticular cpu he used uses a multipel 7 , like an E6300... and how many of those do you see hit 4ghz? on 10L Ln2 maybe think its an awsome result and high fsb for 7 multiple...

3.7 is a good OC ..not many low multi do hit that..
i can just imagine what the 9,5 multiple will do! *yummie*

[Fr3ak]

Very nice results. Thanks a lot for sharing, Victor!

Damn, it's going to be very interesting to see how these chips bench.

Hahaha...I think it'll have problems when going through the metal detectors. Plus, the autocascade will almost immediately take your cpu into cold-bug territory...unless, of course, you plan to run something like 2.0vcore into that 45nm

[Bigchrome]

4ghz Nasgul^

[Kain XS]

Very nice Victor, Thanks for share.
So, not that fun running Wolfdales now? Or maybe new and very different perspectives.
See ya.
