Release the Kraken - i7 990x

[PcCI2iminal]

air for a start ^^
room temp is 20c




i need a new bios for my Tpower,cz the multiplier fluctuation is badly ...

[zalbard]

5232Mhz on air?

[Movieman]

5232 on air..

[PcCI2iminal]

believe me ,its not the end

[DomagojX]

time for new records :P

[K404]

Uh-oh

Thanks for sharing bro

[Movieman]

believe me ,its not the end

See if you can borrow a GB UD7 board, install F8 bios and it's golden..
oops..I mean it should be. I wouldn't know personally of course..

the only X58 here is my old and trusted Tpower X58A ,but the multiplier issue needs a fix , i will ask for a new bios

...and cant wait to get some LN2

No friends there with a GB UD7?

[Splave]

zOMG

[PytonOrm]

so the new 990X dosent have new stepping according the rumor
or still only ES cpu´s have same stepping? still B1 i see but very good work dude amazing on air
Please send Splave and me one 990X so we can play to !

i have friends with a UD7 but they live in Tokyo (700Km from my place) and i dont think they will send the Gigas to me to burn it on LN2 .. and of course Yoko will not send the cpu to them ^^

so the new 990X dosent have new stepping according the rumor
or still only ES cpu´s have same stepping? still B1 i see but very good work dude amazing on air
Please send Splave and me one 990X so we can play to !

i really dont know,but its our best B1 so far

[Splave]

how did the worst one do?

[PcCI2iminal]

one of mine was dead before starting a bench session...
and it was a sealed retail ...

and the worst was an B1 ES,only 5500MHz for 3d06 under LN2

[crio]

The Best?
(I know i am asking too much :p)

[PcCI2iminal]

6000MHz 3d06 at 1.68v
but just a regular Gulf on air,4600Mhz at 1.55v for cinebench
but its dead now

[diezel]

i hope the 990x retail fly like hell on ln2

[sofos1990]

OMG !!!
release date ?

[Movieman]

OMG !!!
release date ?

Rumor: Intel Core i7 990X Extreme coming next month

Intel's fastest desktop processor on the market, the Core i7 980X, remains unattainable for most people at its current $1,000 price range, but that isn't stopping the company from releasing a quicker successor sometime next month. According to TechPowerUp, the Core i7 990X will be based on a new stepping of Intel's 32nm Gulftown architecture. It will feature the same six cores and twelve threads, but clock speeds have been upped from 3.33GHz to 3.46GHz.

Turbo Boost performance scales up to 3.6GHz, and if our experience with the 980X is any indication, overclocking this beast past 4.3GHz without resorting to anything more extreme than air-cooling shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise specs should be similar to other Gulftown parts. Intel's cheapest six core desktop processor to date, the Core i7 970, still sells for around $900 today, so here's hoping the new 990X helps lower the price for its predecessors.

The site also claims Intel is about to roll out a Xeon X5690 processor for servers and workstations, based on the new stepping and featuring similar clock-speeds as the Core i7 990X.

Alleged i7-990X May Be One Of The Last Gulftown Chips From Intel [New Rumor Pins Intel As Coming Out With Six-Core Extreme Edition Processor, Not Using Gulftown]

While most computer enthusiasts are looking ahead to Intel’s next-generation Sandy Bridge offerings, a new rumor being reported by site Fudzilla alleges that we’ll see Intel bring out one last Gulftown-based chip for a final Extreme Edition hurrah.

This Gulftown processor will be dubbed the Core i7-990X, and as you can tell by Intel’s naming scheme, it’ll surup the current -980X as the top dog in the Extreme Edition processors. As mentioned, instead of going with the upcoming 4-core Sandy Bridge generation, it’ll stick with the tried and true 6-core Gulftown.

The -990X will have a clockspeed of 3.46GHz and will offer a Turbo Boost of 3.73GHz. Of the six cores, expect 12 hyperthreated cores. The processor will allegedly be unlocked for overclocking delight. Unlike the upcoming Sandy Bridge processors, the -990X won’t have any extra on-chip graphics cores, so there shouldn’t be any extra silicon to hamper your overclocking efforts.

Fudzilla says to expect this card to come out in Q1 2011, with the typical Extreme Edition price of $999. As Intel ramps up for Sandy Bridge, Fudzilla says this’ll be the only new six-core Gulftown processor introduced between now and Q1 2011. We’d also imagine that it’ll be one of the last Gulftown processors to be introduced by Intel.

Intel, as a rule, does not comment on unannounced products and rumors.

wow...

awesome!!!!!!!

[ZoLKoRn]

Ohhh Yehhh !! that crazy for Air cooling and for B1 stepping too

[FlanK3r]

this is crazy Criminal, 4750 MHz R11.5 air, mad chip :-). Now is clearly, the SB-K chip will simillary for OC.

[FlanK3r]

PS:can show max OC in LINX (15 rounds or 30 minutes time)?

This is no problem
