OC Report :: Intel i5 660 :: The Life & Times of Clarkbar

[GraduS]

very nice. thx.

[der8auer]

Great OC report and results

[Lucky_n00b]

LOL Dude, you got me rolling on the floor

Nice stuff mate, thanks for the info

[Dr.Paneas]

Well done mate
You obviously managed to get your hands on some secret weapon of new 32nm cpu's . This processor was tested except the ordinary (using extreme cooling solutions such as SS) that I can hear it's screams a mile off. Your insulation was fend off the motherboard successfully and goad me on test your method the next time I'll try to chill out :p I wager on that :p Like in the tales, this OC Report is fabled among the others. Not only because did you reviewed a forthcoming clarkbar, you also used literal text-form transcribed from an overclocker's language. Simple as that.

PS: Just a remarkable quote that made me laugh a lot

For those that know me, you know that P55 and myself aren't the best of friends. I mean, I say hi when I see it on the street or passing in the halls at work...but it isn't like I am inviting P55 out for drinks on the weekend. Okay, maybe that is being a little politically correct

[AndreYang]

Oh, man. You got to hurt Intel.

[Benny Lodewijk]

Well done Jody Clarkbar looking delicious

[Monstru]

Great read...

Too bad for the price on this bars...Half the price and people would go nuts for them. But like this...way too close to i750 in my book.

[zalbard]

Very good review, sir. Thanks!
I am a bit disappointed. Although Gulftown is not so far ahead!

[MaadDaawg]

Wish I'd read this before I'd ordered the P55 Classy 200 to put a clarkbar in Hopefully the 670 will prove to be the crowning glory ???

[Dr.Paneas]

Am I the only one here that this cpu reminds me an AMD-like processor ?

[Leeghoofd]

Good round up Jody... so no P55 3D01 world records with these CPU's

[TheKarmakazi]

Great write up as always. Never a dull moment in the one, the only, the original.... "OC Report"!

[Viss]

Enjoyed reading your report Thanks.

[sofos1990]

Am I the only one here that this cpu reminds me an AMD-like processor ?

Why do you say that?
AMD cpus can get very high speeds but performance is nowhere lol

so no P55 3D01 world records with these CPU's

As Jody said 3DMark01 and Pifast need high FSB....so no

Impressive write up one more Jody

[BenchZowner]

so no P55 3D Mark2001SE world records with these CPU's

Massman sighs

[massman]

haha, Bill ... looks like you finally figured out how to use the color tags

[cowie]

great write up jody good reading
a honest non intel ass kissing review for the sub zero set

[[XC] gomeler]

Awesome, straight and pure awesome. I really want a Clarkbar for SPi1M. Maybe Intel will spin a new set of chips with a IMC and no gfx chip... maybe? =\

[tool_462]

Maybe Intel will spin a new set of chips with a IMC and no gfx chip... maybe? =\

I sure hope so. I really want a non-memory bandwidth crippled 5ghz chip for my 24/7 gaming rig...and DICE fun for 01/1M

[Olivon]

Awesone work 3oh6, Thanks

[chispy]

As always a very informative oc report , not a single dull moment or boring , i always dig your write ups Jody , very enterteining to read , now go make peace with your clarkbar bro . ,Im Dissapointed in the performance of this chip.

[KanGaXx]

great!!

but which is the difference between 660 and 661 ? the 660 have less TDP and nothing else ?

[Monstru]

661 IGP has a higher clock (900MHz)

[3oh6]

thanks guys, i appreciate the comments and am glad you enjoyed another OC Report...the real one. just say no to the impostors. friends don't let friends read fake OC Reports. i enjoy writing them as much as any one of you enjoy reading them so it is a win - win. plus, writing an OC Report keeps my therapist bills down...not that i need to worry about that with the pile of money i use as a chair now.

thanks again for the support from everyone, just because i didn't quote you doesn't mean i don't like you. well......maybe it does.

Poor sample, or are the newer chips dogs?

Think the mem is a cpu design issue or board?

not sure what you mean by "poor sample"...didn't think getting 6.5GHz 1m/32m was particularly disappointing but hey, each to his own.

Best. OC Report. Ever.

thanks boss...just for you

There should be a Joey Clarkbar show on TV, this guy's just so entertaining

now i like the way you are thinking champ...you make it happen i'll show up, and i might even trim my 'beard' since i will be on TV.

... You filthy full-time professional multi-million overclocker

now with a TV show lined up, i won't just be filthy rich, but famous as well. this overclocking thing is really starting to pan out.

OMG the numbers are horrible... but thanks for sharing them

i figured i would share something with you K, i took some of you GTS 250 golds so this is to make up for that

Oh, man. You got to hurt Intel.

sorry homes but my little spiel here ain't hurting shyt with Intel...i think they'll be able to survive the wrath of my star power. besides, i just told the truth, you can't fault me for anything...the numbers are real

Wish I'd read this before I'd ordered the P55 Classy 200 to put a clarkbar in Hopefully the 670 will prove to be the crowning glory ???

you'll be fine, it should be a fun little platform, just don't have dreams of sugar plum fairies, that's all. i simply wanted to help people see the reality of these chips. up until now, mostly 1M screens had been shown at 6.5GHz+...the hype was getting a bit much. this just helps put things into perspective for some i hope.

great!!

but which is the difference between 660 and 661 ? the 660 have less TDP and nothing else ?

only difference is IGP clocks...i believe, 733MHz VS 900MHz.

interessing review , nice job 3h06
