B2 already, very nice

Also good to see the Tpower supporting it, Biostar might be a viable option for me in the future, with DFI and Abit down...

Hello Gulftown.

**zalbard** · 02-15-2010, 07:47 AM

Is that a stock cooler?!

Talking about the chip itself:

More results, please!

**eva2000** · 02-15-2010, 08:25 AM

Actually it's meant to be B1 step 2 hehe

guess cpuz ain't picking them up correctly

**Leeghoofd** · 02-15-2010, 08:26 AM

4ghz on the stock cooler ? Now that would be nice

**Pt1t** · 02-15-2010, 08:39 AM

Yes junior , Stepping 2 is B1 not B2

**Sam_oslo** · 02-15-2010, 08:40 AM

Hello there new stepping Gulftown

**ajaidev** · 02-15-2010, 08:53 AM

I had a similar cpu with me but i am sure that it was not B2 tough, later i was told cpuz was reading 1 core because of the BIOS.

The special thing is that this is a B0 idk why cpuz does not show it tough...

This is wrong i dont know why wprime reads my speed as 5ghz while its 5.2ghz??

Also i noticed that chilled water had little effect around this speed, i had a better experience with the older stepping around 5.1ghz under water.

As far as i know these are the first shots of a i7 980x B0, also JC can you change the title of the thread to include this!!

He's right. My B0 are read as Stepping 1 by CPU-Z.

**PcCI2iminal** · 02-15-2010, 03:19 PM

so it was not a B2

thats a 965EE's cooler

ajaidev
nice scores there,i had a similar score as yours with my old and dead Gulf ,let me check if the new one is better or what

**death metal** · 02-15-2010, 05:52 PM

Mine arrived too last sunday and database shows it's still "B1" stepping

CPU:

CPU-Z

edit: the stock fan that came with my Gulftown is different than PCCI

**ViViD** · 02-15-2010, 08:03 PM

WoW That's Orginal Fan? In CPU Box?

Wait For Some Test In This Stock Fan.......

**ajaidev** · 02-15-2010, 10:12 PM

The heat-sink is kinda hot sad that i did not get one with the i7 980x

**Chrono Detector** · 02-15-2010, 11:27 PM

I would love a 980X but I find the price is just unjustifiable. I wonder if the heatsink will come with the non extreme versions of Gulftown, though I admit that heatsink does look nice, better than the standard POS heatsink.

980X needs a massive cooler like that

mine runs very hot with 965EE's cooler and tonight i will try a bit more on air and LN2 maybe

**ajaidev** · 02-16-2010, 06:53 AM

980X really needs water for speeds around 4-4.2ghz because the dam thing run very hot, well at least the A0 did.

LN2 ya thats the way to go, i hope this can OC better than the A0 which already did quite well under LN2

That's what it came with. However, since this is "ES", I am not sure what Intel will bundle with their "retail" box cpu...

Let's hope it's the same =)...they're good stock coolers

**NaeKuh** · 02-17-2010, 12:12 PM

so we all flashing 980's around here?

LOL im tempted to join the club...

Ive had my 980 for a while now..

Ive had both A0 and the 980.

My 980X does 4.4 @ 1.387Vcore with HT on like Pie.

My A0 required @ least 1.42 vcore for that range..
So yes, the B steppings are beasts.

One wierd thing i noticed tho... The A0's like a higher QPI vs the B's unless im seriously doing something wrong... :\

**Badfastbusa** · 02-17-2010, 01:41 PM

Are these out for purchase? If so where and how much?

**NaeKuh** · 02-17-2010, 04:23 PM

in 2 more weeks.

:P

Not the new Q4EG B1 Stepping...cool as a cucumber...only 6 degrees above room temp at idle...never goes above 55C on full 100% load...very nice chip! Hoping for 4.6 24/7....We'll see....It will probably do it, but at voltages I am not comfy with...

**One_Hertz** · 02-19-2010, 07:19 AM

Has nobody put these under a single stager yet? I am guessing 5ghz+ easy for 24/7? All I see is air/water/ln2...
