  1. it's more interesting that module 3 survived 2.05V+, usually these chips don't last longer than a few seconds at anything above 1.95
  2. Allendale is a funky core in terms of use consistency. 1) There are G0 versions of E2140 and E2160. Technically, these are Conroe-4M. Should these be allowed? I don't think it would matter. I tried thousands of these and haven't seen any that would have any competitive advantage over a good M0 chip. 2) There are L2/M0 versions of E6300, E6400, Xeon 3040 and Xeon 3050. Technically, these are Allendale-2M. Should these be allowed? I don't think it would matter either. Unless you are TAGG, you'll never find an L2/M0 that would bench above 4.5GHz so you're much better off running a random E2180+ / E4400+. I'd say just pick a random stance on either of these questions and no one should complain
  3. I assume it's a guess based on - additional voltage doing nothing - being able to bench within 100 MHz of your suicide clocks
  4. Getting a DFI board to boot custom settings is an achievement on its own. Let alone at any semi-interesting clockspeeds.
  5. Wasn't disabling SLI the oldest multi-card trick in the book for 01? Quite a few 01 world records in the G80/G92/GT200 era, including my own, were set this way and no one ever complained.
  6. The value of points has been massively diluted with recent algorithm changes (talk about 200% inflation). And overclocking couldn't be any less relevant for practical consumers. So might as well do nothing (i.e. keep) as it wouldn't matter.
  7. You can run the game tests in any order, as long as you eventually complete all 7 (technically 6, you don't need Nature to get a score). This allows to set different clock speeds (and other settings) for specific tests. Also, running certain tests first increases FPS more than others. Also, some tests are not deterministic producing a slightly different score each time you try it.
  8. 7-6-5 would be faster, but good luck finding dual-sided D9GTR capable of these clock speeds.
  9. Back in the day getting 8GHz was a big deal. These days it won't even get you in the Top 100. Good job nevertheless!
  10. Netburst have it. It's easy to see if you have an unlocked one. It's also relatively easy to observe when your max suicide clocks are only 20-30 MHz higher than your 32M clocks irrespective of voltage.
  11. Many CPUs have an FSB wall. Much like Conroes do (where lowering multi allows to expose it). That's why you see little scaling.
  12. You lose almost nothing in performance, but on many CPUs you get higher clocks and/or better CB.
