bump for the last board standing

Oh, so these are the "weird" Samsung (1Gbit G-die or something similar) that G.Skill were using on their 1600C9 sticks at some point? I saw some of these do 1400 9-12-12 a few years ago and reckoned they could be a superior choice to 2Gbit D-die due to lower density and hence lower tRFC.

What sort of mem is this?

32M and beer. Benching doesn't get any more fun than this, ain't it? :)

It will often boot into OS and do a SuperPI 1M at FSB 600 but after an hour of fiddling I couldn't get 32M any further than the initial loop.

I think that for some reason your topic didn't originally show up in "recent activity". At least I haven't noticed it. Hardware / prices are awesome. You made someone who went through thosands of chips himself seriously consider a purchase

That's a really good chip there!

4.5 uncore on water? How much VTT did this take?

I'm quite sure there were many faster times but I can no longer find the OCX lowclock thread even in the Wayback Machine.

Cold on the CPU usually doesn't make a difference. I ran 1450 6-9-6, 1466 6-10-6 and 1500 6-11-6 all with CPU on AIO. Try booting into OS at 2.20V and then increasing voltage from there, so that Vttddr stays at 1.10V. Most kits don't like above 1.10.

Sold.

Updated first post with more info. Price reduced.

Sure. Let's take care of the rest via PM.

Shipping to Germany is 10 Euros via DHL.

Yes, I am binning X48 boards while these are still obtainable on the second-hand market. Next to this RE, I am also selling four other ASUS X48 boards for a friend in this thread. Outside of above, I only own one working X48 board, which is an ASUS P5E3-Premium.

The board is in top condition, has no bent pins, comes with audio card, IO shield and working OC panel. However, it has issues with clocking memory. Anything above 700MHz (DDR3-1400) is generally unstable irrespective of memory slots, memory type, BIOS version, voltages and settings used. FSB seems alright - with an E6750 I managed 640MHz suicide on single stage, with is also the limit of the CPU with this cooling based on results achieved on other boards. Selling the board "as is", "for an enthusiast to possibly figure it out". Asking 80 Euros + shipping

Sold.

https://abload.de/img/img_0075eseli.jpg Up for sale is a 2x1GB set of Corsair 8888C4 Dominators. Given that its previous owner got it directly from Corsair and that I haven't seen any 8888C4 earlier than this (week 0634) it's likely that this was either an ES or a press kit. On MHz/volt it clocks much better than any other D9GMH that I ever had or seen: On Biostar TP45 HP it does 32M at: 485 3-3-3 2.58V, 505 3-4-3 2.58V, 550 4-4-4 2.02V, 565 4-4-4 2.08V. On ASUS P5Q-E it does 32M at: 550 4-4-4 2.00V,. 575 4-4-4 2.10V. Unfortunately, the kit stability issues approaching 600MHz irrespective of the timings, which are characteristic for nearly all 1GB DDR2 modules made by Corsair, GeiL, G.Skill, Kingston and Patriot. This is caused by limitations in the PCB design, thus can only be "fixed" by swapping the ICs to another PCB. This was initially my plan as well, but so far I wasn't able to find a connection to perform the job, hence the sale. If your DDR2 benching range is below 600MHz then you simply won't find any DDR2 better than these, period. Asking 50 Euros excluding shipping. Open for offers.

Wouldn't x12 be the minimal multi across socket 1366 or are 56xx Xeons different at this?

Did you happen to grasp any difference on core clocks between "classic" batches like 3003A-3031A and "new" batches like 31xxC / 32xxC? I guess no one cared about the latter on 980X / 990X / W36x0. When they came to market in early 2011, the main binning efforts (and budgets) of the mainstream OC community have shifted towards recently launched Sandy Bridge chips (which also didn't cost $1k per try). But if 31xxC / 32xxC can demonstrate better core clocks compared to 3005F of 3031A then there is a chance for i7-980X / 990X history to be re-written.

Are those Xeons 3xxx (single QPI) or 5xxx (dual QPI) series? I've recently dug through many old Gulftown OC threads but couldn't find any examples of single QPI chips (such as i7-9x0 and W36x0) needing less than 1.36-1.38V for full stability and/or 1.28-1.30V for 32M at 4.5GHz (extrapolating from other clockspeeds at 0.04V per 100MHz). I also wasn't able to find any such chips myself on a few dozen A0 / 3005F chips that I tried over the years. So I guess the dual QPI chips are better on MHz/volt due to having to meet stricter binning requirements induced by the second QPI bus.

Dat CPU... What can it do on air and/or for Spi on LN2?
