5Ghz air done Core i7 Extreme

[X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE]

no, i can t answer this, sorry.

Do you know any one that might know? Some one must know.

[Drwho?]

I did not say that I don t know, I said that I can't answer. And I know for sure that it is a special sauce, and we want to keep it for us.

As far as I know bottom one (white text on black background) is the chip location on wafer but I don't know the wafer layout map. Xeons are taken from the middle of the wafer.

FUGGER, ask Intel to flash new name to this CPU, Intel Core i7 Extreme 965 LN2 Edition It can be easily done by flashing CPU at Intel

How about Intel Core i7 Extreme 965 FE (FUGGER EDITION)?

Nice, just wish I could get my hands on one of these babies.

Is the video ready?

[Jaction]

WOW!!!! 403 so strong?

my 401 so bad -.-!!

[Drwho?]

So, the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM5jsGzIlK0 ==> 5Ghz ++
This is an home made video, take it easy, i am not Spielberg;-)
The OC parts with 3 Stage details will come later ...

[Planet]

I was in Vegas this weekend too. I knew I should have called you guys up.

thanks for the video lads

can you list your settings and voltages


thanks baz

Why there is no revision details in cpu-z ? es would give C0 or C0/C1 .... ..special chip?

[dinos22]

microcode edited?
or something newer than 965 maybe ?!?

Thanks for sharing video

I would like to know some further info for that cpu as well

And dinos, Francois has said like 10 times that they benched with a non-modified nehalem cpu But imagine picking 1 out of 1000 CPUs, and you're there ...

[dinos22]

i know that
i'm trying to say microcode is for something that maybe CPUz doesnt recognise like core i7 975 or something like that maybe lol

not saying its modded just a new edition of chip maybe
it is odd that they hide the top part of the screen which got me thinking it might be a newer CPU than 965

[George_o/c]

They probably missed the top part of the screen

[Rol-Co]

It says stepping 5 (my es is 4) and no rev details, it must be a newer 965 or something like that, no matter what it is but hell no not just a 1 out of ten boxed version there is out there right now.

[dinos22]

looked pretty deliberate to me

[hipro5]

OK.....Where's mine?.....

[eva2000]

Wait in line there.. there's another George in front of the queue

We'd all like one of these under our phase units. But how is it bad news that Intel has a (granted, cherry-picked) chip that can hit 5GHz on air? Intel isn't comprised of a bunch of dummies. I doubt they just hand over their best chips to FUGGER without examining what makes them so special.

In other words, a rising tide lifts all ships. If one chip can do this, it stands to reason that Intel learns from experience and that's what revisions are for. Eventually, better and better rev chips will hit the retail channel as they always do. Good for you, good for me, good for Intel stockholders.

I remember not too long ago people here were complaining how Intel discouraged overclocking. Now they embrace it and they are still taking heat. I think it's jealousy. I know because I am jealous that guys like FUGGER get all the good stuff - for free no less!

Maybe overclocking should have divisions, like "got it for free" versus "paid my hard-earned money for it." Like the NBA versus NCAA hoops, pro versus amateur.
