Can you test with Agena, I know it can't reach 3.7GHz, but only for comparation

.
P.S. Thanks for the teaser.

@HondaGuy, is your Agena 9850 still yours? If it is, can you post some benches from it

Thanks. Could you please run a cinebench at 3.2GHz core clocks and 2GHz NB?

5580 pts CPU score is a good result at 3813 MHz.

The Stock CPU---- NB/HT@2000

**Brother Esau** · 01-03-2009, 05:48 AM

Any of you guys care to report temps @ stock Vcore?

Sure....H20 here

**Brother Esau** · 01-03-2009, 06:00 AM

Thanks HodaGuy

I recon that High End Air Cooler will be about the same at Idle as Water.

Thanks a lot

And how much are temps when full load

**HondaGuy** · 01-03-2009, 06:03 AM

Ive has this chip up to 1.55 so far under load was about 44....Room temp right now is 22

**Oliverda** · 01-03-2009, 06:19 AM

HondaGuy: Thank you

Impressive

What cooler do you use

BenchZowner, can you run x264 benchmark with a newer x264 version?
The included are too ancient :P (8 months old the newer).

I've adjusted the bat file (and the vbs file to launch the new bat) to run one of the latest (if not the last, I've not checked today), r1069. The only issue is that fps results don't write to the rtf file and I can't figured out why

Anyways, you can see the fps from the ms-dos window

The settings are the unmodified Standalone-Blu-ray_fast profile from Megui (only adjusted the bitrate to 3959 from 8000, just like the bitrate used with original x264 benchmark, and I guess this standalone profile is the equivalent to the one used with original bench).

You have these files attached inside a zip.

And here the x264 r1069 http://rapidshare.com/files/17938606...-1069.rar.html
Thanks.

Hi hi, I guess he used air cooling for that bench

Because at 3.8GHz with water cooling, the temps were similiar with 3GHz

In Vista, yes, but this was XP (according to Futuremark).
It's a little lower than my Q9450@3,7 - 5885(compare)
Still, I am more than convinced over PHII. This is a "must buy".

I've managed to run 3103MHz on mine with NB@2354MHz and RAM@1140MHz:
CPU single - 3361
CPU multi - 12246

Run at 3001MHz, NB@2277MHz, RAM@1100MHz
CPU single - 3261
CPU multi - 11763

Vista x64

When the room temperature is around 22*C(as he said) what delta T do you want to make the water? 0 degrees?

5-6* are something normal, the load temps are more interesting than the idle

Your card is much faster than 2900Pro, so the CPU score is higher because of it, not because the CPU itself.
P.S. I hate you, all that have already got their Denebs
