QUOTE(storm88 @ Jun 7 2007, 02:38 PM) heh I doubt that. if u do know ES processor well then u would know the answer. Many ES processor has the multiplier unlock, and also, MOST of the ES are very clockable compare to those Retail packed, Clockable Batch. let say Stepping 5B1 or 6B2, they are clockable, but still lose to ES processors.. For instance, there are many clockable E6600 retail processors that can hit 3.9GHz++. As far as I know, I have not seen anyone here at Lowyat forum clocks the ES procs beyond 3.9GHz. As for the multiplier, we can tell whether the user changes the multiplier or not based on the processor type. i.e multiplier for E6600 must be 9. Hence, I do not think it's an issue.

In the past, we (the OC community) would close an eye if you were to use an ES, but since Intel is coming down hard on stolen goods now its not advisable to use them in 'public'. Same goes for competitions like these. Hope you understand.  What about ES users who have the "written agreement" by Intel? Perhaps they are the online reviewers? ES = stolen goods? It may not be the case. I just want to highlight here ES processor should not be "discriminated".  This post has been edited by ALeUNe: Jun 7 2007, 06:25 PM |

QUOTE(storm88 @ Jun 7 2007, 10:38 PM) i didnt said ES always meant to Intel Processors and also E6600 right? Oh well, if you read E6600, you should know the multiplier must be 9. you mean Many clockable E6600 can hit 3.9Ghz, but u didnt see more E6600 cant even by pass 3.5Ghz. i missed out something regarding the multiplayer issue. Some ES processor no matter its Intel or AMD processor, there are MANY which multiplier is unlocked. jue like the AMD processors, their multiplier is LOCKED. so u would only get some certain of Mhz by following with the LOCKED multiplier. Er..E6600 can work even at multiplier of 6. not a compulsory of 9. I seen a forum who got a ES E6600 which can multiplier in 10X. Guessing, 500Mhz x 10 equal to?  jus to share what i noe la  And the organiser should set a clause that all participants must not change the default multiplier. Hence, 10x is a cheat. What determines the best overclocking mobo? IMO, the king of mobos is the mobo that can hit the highest CPU FSB with complete stability + full compability to handle memory dividers @ highest & optimum speed + full voltage setting. I'd rather run at 8x500MHz instead 10x400MHz. 10x is actually redundant. We must use low multiplier (i.e 6x, 7x, 8x) to know the max FSB the mobo can take. This is a good thing to get Bearlake 'cos it can handle higher FSB as compared to 965.

ES are hard to get. n well.. we duwan later issues where by later ppl complain cos they using normal n the winner using an "ES" procs. jst wanna avoid issues similar to tat.. ehm.. so.. ALeUNe, u joining this challenge? well. who ever is joining this challenge please let me know, i wanna make a head count  I'm not participating this 'cos I'm too lazy to remove my waterblocks (VGA + chipset + CPU waterblocks). I'm too lazy to remove power & data cables and ram modules.  It's time consuming and could be a real pain at times.This post has been edited by ALeUNe: Jun 8 2007, 09:21 AM |

QUOTE(kev da man @ Jun 8 2007, 12:30 PM) he needs to remove all that to remove his ES chip la Aye, I need to remove all the blocks to fix the gigabyte mobo. Imagine CPU waterblock link to the chipset waterblock and VGA block (that attached to the VGA card). It's very difficult to remove it. I need to clean the waterblocks & re-apply thermal grease before fixing it on new mobo. Thru it. Done it. I know it is such a pain to remove them all.

Yeap, it gotta be the highest scores.cause if not then ram overclocking is useless also. Low multiplier with highest possible FSB and memory speed. Added on June 8, 2007, 12:53 pm QUOTE(moon* @ Jun 8 2007, 09:42 AM) jst leave ur cooling stuff there.. but clock ur settings back to stock/default/ run a pcmark05.done. No, it does not work as easy as you said. u can water cool it from the start, but jst make sure its at default clock settings n etc.. You gotta dismantle all the blocks in the casing. This is bad thing about watercooling. This post has been edited by ALeUNe: Jun 8 2007, 12:53 PM |
