[miahallen]

Mine is still alive and kicking, and I'd like it to stay that way.
So if you've got a dead retail Gulftown, please let us know:

Do ES's count?

[Planet]

No ES die to easy.

[crazy1323]

Is there a problem with them dying or something?

[HelixPC]

not too many people have the 980x, i dont think there are going to be many 6 core owner's till a non extreme version $500 usd or below comes out.

I miah was concerned with degrading his chip as the 32nm dual cores died frequently.

NCSpec killed his retail 980X, not sure what settings he was running. Then you also have Patch who killed a 980X ES.....thats gotta sting....

hello guys i bought 3 of them

same batch for all,two still kicking on air but no subzero runs yet
but one of them is dead for sure,DOA...this is the first time I've seen a thing like that with an Intel chip...

i sent to RMA yesterday..

yiks!
I have a B batch - I've been doing alot of benching with chilled water - vcore 1.55-1.65, vtt - 1.4 to 1.42, temps up to 80-82C. aside from toasting the power cables to my tecs (probably way too much current draw) all is well so far. I have a SS on the way from sdumper in a couple weeks - I should resist the urge to push the v's until i can get the proc at -40.

B1 ES died with 1.68V and VTT 1.35V -45C SS.
Bad Intel....

What mobo where you using?

[hlonipha]

Mine still alive and kicking at 4.6 24/7 1.44v

[Splave]

anyone else seeing the ones with no CB are dieing the fastest?
Mine doesnt like any more than 1.78vcore 1.525vtt, anything higher the voltage will freeze windows. CB is -152c CBB -152 as well.

x58a-ud7...

If I understand you right, this sounds more like factory-defect, than dead because of too much OC or voltages. Is it so you think?

[SteveRo]

x58a-ud7...

Yep - UD7 - me too, ok - so perhaps I will be a little more careful.
I thought maybe an off the wall mobo let a voltage spike thru but I would think that's likely to be the case with a UD7.

miah

can you add mobo...i'm suspecting something with the mobos. or maybe not ..

thanks

My chip has no CB...CBB is at -155. I've had 2 6 hours session on LN2 with up to 1.9V and it's still overclocking like mad. Tried both the UD7 and the E760.

What's very interesting to me is that it seems very unstable at 100% stock setting, I get BSOD just after hitting the desktop in Vista (while the OS attempts to auto install the CPU driver)....OC it and the BSOD goes away

So, I installed Win XP, and it was fine until I got to the part where the OS is installing the drivers for the Intel processor (12 times), and while installing the 11th, BSOD...repeated numerous times at default setting. Obviously something wrong with the CPU. OC'ed it to 4.5GHz w/ 1.4V and the driver installed fine...CPU behaves normally

This chip was made for me

Sure

Thanks Z....please redirect your results to the thread linked, and we'll let this one die

What mobo where you using?

Gigabyte X58A-UD7

[scum]

motherboard - Asus P6T6 Revolution
Batch # - 3003A957
max Vcore - default
max VTT - default
max loaded Vcore 1.4
max loaded VTT - 1.3
operating temprature - -50
I was using stability testing wprime with this cpu alot more than usual

[Jp7]

not retail but ES

motherboard - Asus Rampage 2 extreme
batch Q4EG
max Vcore - 1.6V
max VTT - 1.4V
operating temprature -45°
3dmark, Spi, wprime ecc... about 16/20 hours in 3 sessions....then R.I.P. ( BSOD 124 )

[BenchZowner]

The word retail I believe is the key to this thread people...

[Sam_oslo]

Q4EG is B1 Stepping, and should theoretically be identical to the retail. A0 was totally different, have I heard, but how different are these B1(ES) actually?
