I really hope you guys can do the same thing with retail chips. It will make all of our wallets much much happier![]()
lol, ah, er that could be any chip. kind of a crappy pic no showing the cpu, but oh well, exciting none the less i spose!
lol. on multi alone no less!

I was there. I saw it with my own eyes -> http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...d.php?t=731996
I'm waiting to hear back from AMD as to what else I can disclose.
In the mean time, I thoroughly believe that the OC elite will take these processors further.

Cpu-z refers to "Rated FSB" when the processor is Intel, correct?
If i'm not wrong (and there is no kind of trick, of course), since "HT Link" is shown, it is an AMD processor ?
Just a guess...correct me if i misunderstood..
Beautiful pic imo.![]()
Looks like it's on!
Just 20mhz on the HTT would add 620mhz to that...
maybe the memory is unlinked so there's no need to touch the HTT speed?
/wild speculation
All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
But this is a retail chip or Extreme Edition without sensors ? Same this:

Sorry for my bad english.

Yeah, from what I saw as well as after having a hands on play, I believe we'll see higher frequencies obtained by the OC elite with combinations of lower multipliers (than used by AMD @ the demo) and higher bus frequencies. Here's a snippet from a post I made on OCAU replying to dino on this point:
Also on this note, all the media were getting stuck at ~3.9GHz because they were only using multiplier while with a combination of settings I hit 4.1GHz with minimal effort. This further adds weight to the concept that the chips have potential to go further in the hands of experienced overclockers using combinations of settings.However, my comment in regards to the extreme clocking regulars doing better is based on the fact that the demonstration was done simply using the multiplier for frequency increases. This meant that the bus frequency was being left to 200MHz and simply multipliers applied at intervals of 0.5x were used for frequency increases.
From my play on the test beds provided (GIGABYTE motherboard and either OCZ Reaper or Corsair Dominator memory with Deneb ES + stock heatsink and rounded out by a HD4870X2) I found it much easier to gain additional CPU frequency by lowering the HTT multi by one and then increasing the HT bus frequency as well as the CPU multiplier.
So in terms of this overclocking information being information that was shown to me or told to me by AMD, it's actually information that was obtained through observation and use - also out of all the media there I was the only one with sub-zero experience/knowledge and therefore a lot of information was obtained just quietly chatting with the guys responsible for the demo both before, during and afterwards. I've got further info like voltages used for what frequencies but that's currently NDA covered - well, the frequencies are but they got up to using 1.95v dropping to 1.936v and didn't go above 2v due to blowing caps on the motherboard (already sent some emails regarding this so hopefully a revision on it's way).
An interesting side note: The maximum multiplier available is currently 48x so there's plenty of multiplier headroom![]()
