wait for the 6core, think there will be a xeon that tont be as expensive as the 980

should i be happy with 3.8ghz@1.23v hitting 56c (with all fans on 60%) on my 920 C0?

p_o_s_pc said:
I wish i knew what to do... Keep the CPU i have and be happy with it or get a D0 later..Maybe wait for the 6cores to be mainstream and go from there

Those temps are good and I say wait for six cores :toast:

uncore x18

Yes 52 to 53 is what you should see in LinX for those clocks and timings. If your short you need more voltage. Usually VVT but I'm not too sure with 1156 since I don't have any experience. Though, the GFlops numbers shouldn't matter that much since the basic architecture is the same for 1366 and 1156.

Actually the 980 will be the least expensive.

(FIH) The Don · Mar 14, 2010

didnt mean the xeon version, but the cheapo 2.66ghz or similar, should suffice

There isn't going to be a different consumer 6-core intel chip until 2011-2012

But what about the 1366 Xeons? You don't think they'll release some lower clocked 6 core Xeons that will be cheaper than the 980X?

Being Xeons they end up costing more

The lowest end 6-core they have is as slow as the 920 and will cost as much as the EE chip.

(FIH) The Don · Mar 14, 2010

are you sure about that?

its not because i know anything,

but if you compare the i7 920 and the xeon w3520 then they are almost at the same price,

would that not be possible for the xeon 6core editions?

I knew the Xeons had a markup, didn;t think it would be quite that high tho. Thought for sure there would be a part worth buying in the $800 range at least.

Here the difference in price is large. The 920s are 199.99 and the W3520 is 309.99. The xeon was more expensive when it was released, and the price has dropped.

Well I put a Mega Shadow on the Rampage II Gene and updated the BIOS and took it for a spin with some 3D benching. I did have the window open for a litte extra cooling, outside temps were in the mid 30's.

Chicken Patty · Mar 21, 2010

Love the Mega :respect:

MetalRacer, your avatar is SMOKIN!!! :toast:

PS. sry for being off topic, it had to be said :laugh:

Binge · Mar 23, 2010

Finally! Everything working. Cooling is on AIR, PC has been idle/under load in a CM690 II for 4 hours.

Have you got the X980 already binge or you using a xeon CPU? :eek:

mastrdrver · Mar 23, 2010

More details!!!

Really interested as I've got the same board and eventually plan on going the 6 core path. Maybe later this year some time.

Seeing as how the 980X is hexacore, and RealTemp is compatible with hexacores (read: shows all six), it looks like his would be one of the quad core Xeon's. Besides, Fit stated one of the CPU's he was showing in his Mega Rig thread was for Binge.

Binge · Mar 24, 2010

If you guys want Vantage results etc etc wait for fit's rig

Mine is doing some mild OCing and is really just a more robust, low power, and lower heat solution to the 920. There are advantages to having 4mb more cache.

It's all about the L2 cache baby!

Glad to see your putting it to work there man! :toast:

I was surprised. Even with the high cache you can still OC very high without much recourse. 4.7GHz was easy. If I had some high end cooling I bet I could do 5+ without fear.

mlee49 · Mar 24, 2010

Considering it's stock'd clocks are nearly 3.5GHz pushing for a full Ghz overclock should be rather trivial.

Wanna help me Re-Overclock my 920? I've dropped down to a Cooler Master Hyper 212Plus air cooler so 1.4V isn't a feesable option. I'm sitting at 3.3Ghz at 1.38V:

I'm thinking a blk of 170 should be nice enough for under 1.4V. That would be roughtly 3.7Ghz. Think I should lower it and stay cooler?
