RESULT:

Superpi
1.kevyeoh 14.5s
2.gogo2 14.7s

Thanks to charge-n-go, I got myself a Quadcore Extreme QX6700 2.66MHz.

The rest of the system configuration is as follow:

Gigabyte 965P-DS3 rev1.0 BIOS:F10
Patriot DDR2 1GB x 2 667MHz
Western Digital 500GB 16MB SATAII
Galaxy 7300GT DDR3 128MB
Fortron Epsilon 600W
CoolerMaster Hyper6+

I haven't touch the maximum OC of this Quadcore. Still in the process to determine the limit of this board and Quadcore.

So far, this is what I got:
CPU
3.3GHz at Vcore 1.325V

FSB
300MHz (MCH, FSB + 0.2V)

RAM
375MHz at Vdimm+0.2V

START


Any question, please ask. And if you want me to change anything, I might entertain

Will post final result soon!
FINAL

Welcome dude, let's do some wonders with my engineering sample
thanks for letting my CPU leeching ur system for some time

Hmm... maybe 10x333MHz? RAM set to 1:1 with FSB and then lowered the RAM timing. Hopefully can get a better superPI time.

Yup, 333MHz works just fine. But I accidentally change it to ratio 6. Hahaha.....let me reboot my PC now.

Super-pi advance a bit.

But let me change the latency. The reason i choose 4:5 because I see 667MHz setting does not boost much of the superpi.

so how much gain do you get from 333MHz to 416MHz?

a mere 0.2s.

by the way, here is the latest screenie.

it seems improvement is little. I think need to boost the FSB now



EDITED:
Its weird that Gigabyte indicate its rev1.0 board cannot support 333MHz. Anyway, haven't run Prime yet

EDITED:
Up the FSB = 340 again! CPU is 3.4GHZ

Superpi 15s

ES sample? You sold it off to gogo2, or just a loan unit?

If it's a loan unit, lend it to me. I'd love to see how it performs on Folding@Home. Darn!!

Oh by the way, I thought Intel's employees can buy any CPU at a very cheap ass price. Can you get me one?

Actually I loan it to gogo2 for a few years until the unit is fully owned by me (the unit is partly Intel now). Since he is in penang and my ex-colleage, it's easier to get feedback from him if Intel wants me to share experience. I'm still a contract employee, maybe can help you to buy one after i am confirmed

You can ask gogo2 to try folding@home with your login, i am eager to know how well it can perform too

I saw the screenshot and the RAM is running at 2T command rate, can't it run at 1T?

if not mistaken,intel chipset (p965) has problem using 1T,when prime kena error or blue screen or auto restart....

Not sure about the 1T coz I can't really set it inside the BIOS.

Still can't get below 15s. Already tried low latency but with lower speed.

I think what we need is, low latency high speed RAM couple with high speed CPU.

Anyway, here is the latest OC diary screenie:

gogo2, wanna break into the 14 seconds, up the speed to 3.6Ghz, sure can XD

wat bout temperature loads?

CPU: 3500MHz (10x350)
RAM : 350MHz 4-4-4-15

I think it can break 15s barrier

whoaa...nice to see this thread...i'm also using qx670 and DS3...

well...currently my system is very stable at 3.2Ghz...prime95 run for 8hrs no problem...

when i tried pushing up to 3.4Ghz or 3.3Ghz..i think prime95 can't maintain stable...after a while of stress, one of the core will fail prime...

so guys...did you just bump up the freq and superpi it? or you run prime as well also?

what's the temperature reading using TAT?

Maybe after C2d, all the ES version really not good in OC if compare with the retail one, i got myself a QX6700 too, but dunno why my Tforce 965PT cant boot it, very regret that i m sell off my DS3.....

Result:

Still at 15s



Ok, I'll try it....

Forgot to take. Wait ya..

Tried with that. The system keep on restart. The system cannot take 350MHz FSB. I think maybe this board is rev1.0. If rev3.3, I believe can go higher. Right now, my board can go below 350. 340 is the one I'm using.

Just bump the speed and super pi. can u give ur result? I'll post it in the first post. Thanks for contributing.

Why wanna sell ds3? is it because its version 1.0?

Not 1.0, is 2.0 revision one... but maybe later will get the S3 one... S3 also cost around rm380 to rm390 already...

well, i've posted my result at the other thread C2D OC database i think...anyway, here you go... i think it's 16s for Superpi only at 3.2Ghz....


Attached thumbnail(s)

Superpi go under 15s with higher CPU clock

14.7s....

Added on May 1, 2007, 12:58 amThat's the pi number for 3.2GHz. OC more. See what u get...for ur CPU. Coz my CPU, only can get 3.5GHz. Cannot reach 3.6GHz.
