  1. okok got it, see you tomorrow :D

     

    A shame we can't OC these things to what their real potential is.

    Intel really locked these systems up solid.

    The SR-X board and the Asus will allow a little bump in the BCLK but not much.

    What is needed is some genius to figure out how to separate the BCLK from the rest of the PCI BUSS.

    Now as to you, if I'm even close to what you can do I consider that a win.

    I'm a pure amateur at this and spend maybe 4-5 hours a year OC'ing and all to help out the XS team when I can.

  2. I know but even if I wanted to - would take me at least a year to get a similar system together.

     

    Systems can be special in many ways - yours is just so uncommon in private sector it's still nice to see - and I read you are waiting for something that CAN overclock - it shows that you are not giving up here just because you have a golden medal. It shows you really want to know what's possible on these babies.

     

    I always like to see what all my systems can do. Still have that little kid in me that says "What if"..

    Of course some French guy called me a Dreamer last week when I told him that if Intel unlocked the BCLK and multi's on these chips that the "guys" would make them show comnputational power that would solve the questions of the universe in seconds..LOL

     

     

    only TWO chips?? Im ashamed of you movieman ;)

    Beleive me, if you knew the work involved just top get these two you'd cry..

    Months and months of getting "played" by the server division PR guy at Intel.

    If I was 20 years younger and lived on the west coast I'd have gone to his office and introduced him to my right hand.

  3. Isn't it enough to just close it, and all similar threads that may pop up about the same thing? It just feels like sensorship when it's deleted. Like the content is "dangerous" to someone. Speaking as as XS user, though... don't want to mix my roles here, as a HWBot moderator it's not my job to tell you how to moderate at XS:p

     

    +1 to the Coolaler stuff, I wonder if anything will happen there...

     

    The unsaid thing is that if you "just" close it the screenshots are still there,

    As I said, I did just close it. Others made the decision to move it out of sight and I abided by those decisions.

    No probalem with your thoughts on this. I just wanted to clear up any issues and none between you and me.

  4. Glad we're not XS... thread not "appropriate" - delete delete delete.:) business as usual.

     

    That's not correct. The thread was closed because it was becoming a flamefest.

    Then pulled to try and calm down the storm that it created.

    I know because I closed it and later pulled it after speaking with Charles.

    The other IB thread from that Meteor guy was pulled at his request which I also did.

    Just so we're clear, I don't like closing or pulling threads and enjoy seeing the new hardware as much as the rest of you do.

    Now that's me speaking as an admin at XS, my personal feelings are I find it interesting that nothing has been said about IB being shown at Anandtech and I mean nothing.

    Also interesting that Intel has an advertising deal with that site thats into 5 figures/year

     

    Also for how many years has coolater been leaking stuff and nothing has been done?

    This reminds me of the schoolyard bully that only picks on the little kids but hasn't the balls to go after someone his own size.

  5. I was a bit slow, but I just realized it was Movieman who got this high.

    You have just entered to the dark side. You are overclocker!

     

    May the force be with you!

     

    ;)

    Thank you oh Man Mountain of the North!.:)

    Even us old guys like to have some fun once in a while.

    Besides, got to try and fool the young guys that I have at least a few skills..LOL

  6. 5200 suicide on air (and by Movieman :D) is impressive, but nothing a decent 980X won't do as there were 980X that could run 4700-4800 daily stable on air/water.

     

    LOL, I hear ya..I'm no bencher, I just have a little fun with this stuff once in a while.

    Only thing that pushed me was when I first set it up I was surprised at the lack of voltage needed to run at 4GHz and the very low temps.

    Said What the hell, lets see what this will do.

    Expected it to crap out at 4400-4500 but it didn't.

    Got to app 4755 and then called a buddy with more knowledge than I have to see if it would hit 5GHz just for laughs.

    Now he won't take any credit but a hint, he's already posted in this thread..:)

     

    No signed NDA but to keep peace in the PC world no pics or benches.

    Don't need the folks at Intel saying nasty things about me..

  7. I have done 5100MHz superpi in normal room temp last spring with super A0. Max clocks were 5200MHz+. It was A0 so it is not counted, I guess.

     

    I am trying to find the screenshots...

     

    Hello my friend.

    This was a B1 stepping 990x..

    Also probably not able to be counted yet..

     

    OOPS, just saw Christians link..

    That answers all my questions..LOL

    Thanks to all for the info.

  8. Faster means here maximum clocked (MHz), or fast here mean performance? :)

     

    If first - Cedar-based CPU's are sure FTW (>5.5G for sure for suicide, i did 6G with only +10°C (waterchiller tho) :)).

     

    Also "air" means nothing. Even best of best 980X cant go 5G in africa sands with +50 ambient :D

    And some chilly -50°C balcony with "air" heatsink with some high-cfm fan will render any 980X to handle 5.5G :D

     

    Sorry, I should have added more info.

    I meant top MHz.

    By air I mean "normal" air..

    It was 71F in the house at the time.

    Board was in an open case with just 2-113cfm Deltas,one on cpu, one as case exhaust fan.

  9. You mean highest MHz bench-stable (likely 1M) or a complete list of the best benchmark results, e.g. xx.xx sec in benchmark A, xx.xx sec in benchmark B and so on?

     

    Anything.. Sp1m or even a validated CPUz screenshot..

    Just curious as last night Imanaged just over 5200 on "legit" air..

    One of the guys at Xs said that was the highest he'd seen.

    I did see a 980x at 5167 but wondered if there were any faster than that.
