Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in as a happy new Classified (E761) owner. I built my rig over the weekend and did a trial, shot-in-the-dark OC run @ 4.2ghz just to see if it could make it there w/o issue and to get a sense of how capable the chip and board are. It was the most effortless 4ghz+ OC I've ever done. It was five minutes in the BIOS to set a 200Bclk, Uncore multiplier to 16X, and the memory to stock speed, voltage, and timings (1600mhz, CAS 7 @ 1.65v, 2:8 Divisor.) I set vCore to 1.4, which is probably more than it needs at that OC (it's a 920 D0 chip,) but since this was a trial I was happy to just ballpark a number and see what happened.
The rig booted up perfectly on the first try, and temps were in the high 30s at idle, high 60s/low 70s at load. That's still cooler than my stock-speed / stock-cooled i7 920 C0 at work. The system didn't break a sweat with OCCT and an hour of Prime95 smallFFTs, so I'd say this trial shake-down was a success. With my Q6600, it was an effort to get to 4ghz and/or break a sub 10-second time with SuperPi 1M. Now it can be done willy nilly in 5 minutes. Best of all, with a good 25-30C to T-Junction at a sub-optimal 4.2ghz @ 1.4v, it appears that there is still quite a bit of OC headroom to uncover. Not bad at all
Oh, and I almost forgot. This was all with 12GB of RAM
