[ZDB] E8600 @ 6.6GHz with ASUS Rampage Extreme

[N3RO]

Hello guys,

Last weekend the ZDB Team was present on XLParty - big LanParty here in Portugal - ASUS sponsored us with some hardware Thanks guys!

We just had opportunity to test the hardware on the same day of the event, so don't expect any monstrous 3DMark or Pi score

So, this is a little teaser of what you can expect for the next days/weeks

E8600 Q820A598 (the special one ) - CB @ -158ºC
ASUS Rampage Extreme

N3RO teaching some pretty girl :








You can check the 6610MHz with 2 cores enabled (05:08) on Youtube video here (click on High Quality option )

To finish, we are able to run 3DMark 2001 from Cars to Nature non-stop at ~6500MHz Nice chip isn't it?
It's time to fire up my 9800GX2 again and spend some time on 2D benchs like Superpi 1M

Tks,
N3RO

Kick-ass chip man!

[Spacemaster]

Nice clocks man
Do you run any benchmarks?

[Nordling]

Very successful cpu! I hope it will present not one WR for you!

[oktay76]

[MaSell]

6.6GHz and only 1.250v

[Achill3uS]

MaSell lol

N3RO bro what a chip .... looking fwd to see your 01 results

[makaka]

too slow man , my 5 ghz look poor vs this 6.6 GHz , i must get one of those high clocker E0

[giraffen]

Jesus, What a chip

[Hazzan]

nice chip you get there ......any stable on 3D bench ?

[Nanok]

Slap me silly,and call me Dorothy.
That is one sweet chip, you got there.

[OC4/3]

Geez...............amazing chip,6.5ghz 3d benchable holy cow

[V2-V3]

WOW! 6.6 is absolutely amazing! That blows my E8600 out of the water.... What is the Batch # and what Vcore did you use?

[SoF]

wow can't wait for this chip to kickass some awesome '01 and Pi - AM3 should do nice also

[TheKarmakazi]

sick!

[expect91]

thats sick, GJ!

[oktay76]

Batch Batch???

[Zeus]

Honestly, i don't know what i like better, the chick or the chip..

Can i have both....please?

[oktay76]

oh, you`re right, i think so too, probably i was blind

[N3RO]

vCore was ~1.92v

Motherboard wasn't tweaked at all... it will take some more time

Don't PM me with offers.. at least you want to pay 1000~1500€

Need some pot for my GX2, anyone? and some DDR3 kit.. since I don't have any...

Thank you all

[oktay76]

how much the board asusExtreme gives VCORE??

[Zeus]

The Rampage Extreme can supply up to 2.4Vcore, should be enough to suit anyone's need.

[oktay76]

bah 2.4vcore??, what a monster! you can make some experiments with this animal, yes yes this is enough muahah!! my blitz formula is compared to this board a crook

[F.O.G.N.A.]

Congrats guys Nice work and impressive cpu
