[Big Lar]

Nice chips of late. Here's what I am working on now.

Here is my little contribution

E3110 Q746A534 /2V7XXXX/XXX287

3.6ghz @1.23v bios / 1.14v load ( Cpu voltage damper disabled )



4.32 ghz 1.41v bios air cooling ( valid in sig )

Xigmatek HDT 1284

how much voltage needed for 4Ghz stable?

[Mykou]

how much voltage needed for 4Ghz stable?

lol didn't test for 4ghz stability

just bench for spi benchable @4.32 ghz air .

my goal was a decent 3.6 ghz at low vcore

maybe later make some benches with a better board and 8500 ram .

actually stuck at 480 fsb which I think is nice with this cheap mobo

sold my former E8400 and E6600 allowed me to buy this xeon and just spend around $ 30 lol

my cheapiest rig !

Where can you locate a E3110 to buy?

seems xeons out of stock in most places

not happy with your penryn ??

[eva2000]

Max fsb please mr eva200.

For you mate

Max FSB tests continued....
Looks like this E3110 has a slightly higher max FSB for Super Pi 32M at least, topping out at 545FSB straight boot from bios to complete Super Pi 32M run. With max cpu validation matching my E8500 Q740A493T on same Asus Blitz Formula at 555FSB

update my superpi 1M with less than 4.5ghz

10.437 s @4.48ghz 1.44v bios / 1.39 load

Here is may Xeon.

So with all this info out there,

if you could have one of these chips E8400 or Xeon E3110 price no object

and your a gamer/OCer that also uses it for your 24/7 workstation/playstation.

Is there one that is the better choice, or is it to close to call and some kind of personal choice bullchit?

Is anyone willing to answer what he is looking for ?

I'm in the same train as he is..

thanks

If you can pick a good batch number of either one, that's your best bet. If you buy blindly with no idea of the batch, you probably have a better chance getting a fairly good one if you go Xeon. From what I can tell, there is no big difference between the good xeons and the good 8400s.

nice results, looks like 4ghz with less that 1.3v is the 24/7 sweet spot

I like xeons for their low vcore for most of them I saw around .

but in games , I don't think you should se a difference with penryns E8xxx.

I saw very good E8200's too

very promising for further steppings although I think I probably keep mine

yes true .

even with my 3.6ghz 1.14v 24/7 so happy and don't regret my E6600 ^_^

These are some answers from other forums

Core 2 LGA775 server chips have not been better or worse than desktop chips, I believe, except that they have different microcode and this risks incompatibility with some motherboards.

After pretty much going through hell as a result of decided to get (on more or less a whim) an X3220 instead of a Q6600 (both 2.4Ghz 1066Mhz FSB rated quads with 9x multis, same cache sizes, etc...) just trying to find a board that'll play nice with the thing I now /fully/ support what most of the [H] staff already repeat on a regular basis:

Desktop CPUs for Desktop boards.
Server CPUs for Server boards.
Do not mix them.

It may work perfectly... it may be torture. They are not the same, as the Xeon identifies itself to the machine differently (uses different microcode). Given Xeons are pretty much never officially supported on desktop boards, I cannot recommend you play the game I have been for a few weeks now.

after stuff like that, i wonder ... is the Xeon 3110 worth going with? that is my concern .. some say its really good ... others say you shouldn't get it ... I want some answers from people that know for sure what they're doing.

[mrcape]

I want some answers from people that know for sure what they're doing.

Then state what board you're using and maybe someone has the same combo. I've never heard of microcode/incompatibility issues like that.

[cabbspapp]

I just ordered one, I really can't wait for it!

Then either 8400 or 3110 sdhould be good to go

[vcp-cur]

so if you want a Q9450 , you could also go with a X3350? and it will do just fine?

If they really have that in stock. It should work just fine and is very temping.


Edit: not in stock, figures

[vcp-cur]

this is kind of the 1st time intel has this right? that both Xeons and normal Desktop CPU's can fit on the same mobo ?

Edit: it was in stock when I posted. wow

[mrcape]

This was the case with the 65nm chips as well. They made Xeons for socket 775 and many people bought those. There was talk that they were higher binned chips but I can't say for sure.

On the site it says in stock, but I called them and they said next week.
