Intel Nehalem Absolutely Insane -> 975 ^^

[_MD_]

Great stuff... good job ocing on air... did you lap true or i7?

I was able to OC my qx9650 to 4.7ghz on air as well... That's pretty similar as 9650 is rated at 3.0ghz versus 3.33 for i7...

But anyways, good job.

[Olivon]

-98° and 1.44V Vcore

That's totally insane

Well done Thomas

[Hoschi]

Spi1m @5200Mhz ->1.39V, -100° on our w3540...

[jcool]

Damn nice
I don't know why, but I fear my 975 might be degrading already... 4,6 ain't stable any more... also I can't get a 3D06 run at 4,8
So much for Intel's 1,55V Vcore max

[pH(x)]

My jaw is hanging open, but to be on XS you expect to be surrounded by such excellence, 5GHz on TRUE Air cooling with an i7 975 Engineering Sample

[dpa]

I agree. 5Ghz on air is good.. but do you guys really care about suicide screens?

for me myself I think vantage/06 cpu test is the best way to judge a cpu....

with wich mobo???

thx

Most likely R2E, like all their WR runs

@ Hoschi: CPU tests at 100MHz more than your 06 WR is promising...

[Kensek]

Hoschi was using a P6T V2 on other W3540 Benches he posted. Here is Hoschi SuperPi run with that W3540.

[Lu(ky]

ok

3DMARK says 4967MHz and the CPUZ says 5304MHz?

[Kensek]

The 4967 is based on the 22 (Non Turbo Multi and the Bootup BClk Used of approx 226).

The 5304 is based on the 23 Multi (Turbo) and another 5 BClk added from software that increased it after the bootup.

Hoschi, those results are Sweet. Xeons kick bigger butt over their Sister big & bad D0 butts.

I am hoping the W3580 will come out also on May 31st with the i7 975.

Then I'll be snagging the Xeon equiv of the i7 975, which is a No Brainer.

ok

do you know how much I love that cpu freq..?

Retail W3580 won't have the unlocked multi though

It does. V2-V3 Has been benching it and showing screen shots.

Here is a screen shot showing Multi unlocked.

[V2-V3]

Retail W3580 will have a max multi of 25x with turbo multi of 26x

It does. V2-V3 Has been benching it and showing screen shots.

Here is a screen shot showing Multi unlocked.

[Kensek]

So, because it is an ES chip the Multi is unlocked?

[Hoschi]

Retail W3580 won't have the unlocked multi though

my retail w3570:

[Kensek]

Well if a Retail W3570 has an Unlocked Multi because it is just a Xeon i7 965EE, then a W3580 (which is a Xeon i7 975EE) would have an Unlocked multi also?

Intel has changed the rules for Xeon class CPUs

unlocked multi is now a reality!

Wow, this is good news if all W3570 and W3580 retail will have the unlocked multis. I know all the W3570 and W3580s, both C0/C1 and D0 have been shipping with unlocked multis.
