Not even having my 3930K and there is already something new I need to own

You buying a 2d cat Chris ?

ive told ya ... more details of my Xeon setup soon ... awaiting permission from intel for little preview

So Asrock will bring us BCLK ratios with 8core Xeon?

ive told ya ... more details of my Xeon setup soon ... awaiting permission from intel for little preview

 

I ''can'' preview it

not under NDA and I have a chip

 

but don't have the ASRock Extreme9 though

massman - not only ASRock

 

I have completed full Review for our magazine, but cause good relationship with intel will wait for permission ... for at least preview

Asus too I presume. Who else?

 

Btw, do you think I should swap in my 3960X and look for this kind of Xeon?

andre-sus and el-msi? lol

 

OMG that Xeyown is expensive

For lower-power cards, with just a mild OC it will shunt 100% bottleneck to GPU....... you will never need to worry about CPU power again...focus 100% on GPU clocks.

 

 

*scared face*

are you drunk, Kenny?

Nope

ASrock engineers do a really good job. Pictures from the old Stepping.

 

 

and 2 Cores with 4000MHz

Jesus fucking christ, what a retarded image upload service.

Tested with the little Brother. @ 3960MHz

 

 

Sorry to bump this thread, but I may have an explanation for why that Xeon ES appears to be able to use a baseclock strap ratio. The number of cores, clockspeed, and cache all appear to match the 3960X, suggesting that this may be a qualification sample of the Xeon E5-1660, the Xeon equivalent of the 3960X. If the pattern follows the i7-990X and the W3680, the UP E5-1660 and 1650 should have unlocked multipliers and strap ratios. That would explain the anomalous success with this Xeon, with the many reports of non-functioning strap ratios on the DP Xeon engineering samples.

You are right! The 6 Core Xeon like E5-1660 has working Strap Profiles, but XEON 8 Cores CPU doesn't have BCLK strap, it only can set bclk=100 strap, FYI. You can read the more here..

I can't decide if i'm happy or sad the 8-core is useless for OCers

Perssonaly I m so sad ............

 

But wait test with no ES or ORB information.
