X3350 Arrival

^= All you need to know, guys. I can run mine at 475 x 8, and has been running at that clock for four days now. VCore is only 1.320V for a rock solid Prime stable system at 475 x 8. I can POST at 500 x 8, but it would hang as soon as Windows starts loading... so I'm guessing my G35 motherboard cannot handle 500MHz for a quad 45nm. Now I'm curious if anyone with a X38 or X48 mainboard can get into Windows at 500MHz.

Here's how I got it to POST at 500MHz x 8, in case you can't read much from that forum post I linked above.

And... here are some results from Crysis Benchmark Tool:

DX9:



DX10:



Not too shabby... but I guess these quads are just what Crysis has been dreaming about all this time.

Edit: Or heck, here are all I have at the moment:

Idle temp before I lapped my ACF7:



What VCore is needed to get into Vista @ 3.60GHz:



VCore needed to get into Vista (and watch a movie) @ 3.80GHz:



And yep, I don't think this thing has any problem running two instances of the PlayStation 2 emulator:



Impressive temps at that, too... considering I haven't lapped my ACF7 yet.

Now here's 3DMark06 with a 9600GT:



Voltage for Prime completely stable at 3.60GHz:



And... that's it for now. I think I'll leave her on tonight for either Prime at 3.80GHz or 100 times Crysis benchmark.
