Official Intel Gulftown (Westmere) Overclocking and Batch Tracking Thread

hmmm 4.68MHz and 1.46v ... that looking good nice chip you have donmarkoni

whats the temp like with that voltage ?

Would you believe me if I tell you I didn't even bother to run RealTemp?
With such low voltages I didn't care about temp, even @4.8GHz.
I'll check next time and report back.

Thermalright Silver Arrow and Intel I7 970 5ghz

mine is a 3020a457 and don't see much about it... anyone know anything about this batch??? right off the top the temp varies about 12 degrees... cores seem uneven... they pull closer at load though.. within 8 degrees...

i first noticed when i threw it on the test bench under the air cooler... i said, meh wait till i get it under water... i probably seated it wrong... not the case... its under a swiftech xt.. tried to reseat 3x... still no better... most uneven core temps i have ever seen... will be clocking soon...

did i read somewhere in this thread, about 980x dying while overclocking with even simple voltage, would Intel RMA them and send you a new one if the discover its overclocked !! or its just a matter of luck ?

i am asking cause i got the Asus Rampage III extreme a week ago and getting the gulftown tomorrow

Thanks guys

@algelreaper: Great chip you got there!

Just a little update:

Quick SuperPI 1M run @ 5GHz before I went out last night.
Sorry for the picture showing one multi less, but it was 5GHz run, as can be seen by result (and it is validated of course).
BTW, look at CPU-Z voltage. I could overclock it to 5THz with such voltage. Just need a black matter deatomizer for cooling liquid nitrogen to -500°K.

@donmarkoni thanks man Your also good
