Bueeh

Anyone has these? I have them but some are not LP's so it looks like crap. I need two of those... but without that Nazi US shipping tax. BTW those are samsung greens, they overclock like mad.

I have something better.

I have had some of those Samsung.

IBM Ram? It'd be worried about compatibility more than anything else.

Freebies ?
Would be Intrested in a
Intel® Xeon® Processor W3690
(12M Cache, 3.46 GHz, 6.40 GT/s Intel® QPI)

I would mate, but I want to give one for free to a troubled friend here, put a 2nd rig up for me and that leaves only the i7 920...if you really need it, pm

I have been using IBM's Ram for a few years and never had any kind of issues or incompatibility.

So, Samsung chips rebranded under IBM, right?
Should be safe then.

In any case i would prefer the one posted before ( Apacer )

Naah I need exactly the FH0 with samsung IC's. I have already 4 pieces of low profile and 4 pieces standard profile of those. That rubbish apacer doesn't run on 2000MHz without sweat also.

Compatibility wise... they work in few ASUS boards without problems(tested Sabertooth x58, GENE2 and P9X79-PRO combined with Xeon, ... I just need the low profile ones... For the sake of bling bling

Alright all, update on my friend's P6T rig... I'm posting from it. The BIOS chip solved all the issues and it's already at 20x 200. The voltage is a little high, but I'm going to give it a more thorough overclock next week, 4GHz games great for him already so I'll probably just work on RAM speed and lowering VCore. Thanks for the advice and help, guys!

Below is the quick and dirty OC he's running right now:

 

[FilipM]

Use the 21 multi and let me know if it throttles at 4.2...That is a more efficient chip than mine so theoretically, should be ok.

Don't know how Westmere is with the Multi's but the 45nm ones don't like even Multipliers (19 and 21 work best, 20 is crap)


PS. Love that aux temp of 510deg ...must be a good camping fire lol

That will be next week when we flash the C0 BIOS chip to the WS BIOS. Right now, there is no option for 21x, it jumps straight from 20x to 22x. I only noticed that because I was going to try for 21x 200 but didn't have the multi, lol.
He's been gaming on it for a while, it's stable and gameplay is butter smooth, so he's very happy to be off of that Q6600.

Must try harder.......

No this is stable though @CAPSLOCKSTUCK and you know my cooling deficiencies

I learnt to use PLL and QPI voltage, safe limits though.

1600mhz kit running 1686mhz too on 1.6v at 10-11-11

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

your temps look fine to me. Im running my X5670 @3.6 cos my cooling is so iffy.

iirc the 1.416v i had with E5640 was the highest i used on any Xeon.

video render will tell a different story, i expect around 85c temps.

Just remember the rules. QPI voltage must be within 0.5V range to vcore according to the Intel recommendations, if you up the voltage you must up the qpi voltage too. I usually use 1.35 or 1.37V.

Meanwhile on fleabay.

 

[Recon-UK]

CPU Vcore 1.387v
PLL 1.90
QPI 1.27v

 

[Ferrum Master]

CPU Vcore 1.387v
PLL 1.90
QPI 1.27v

If with compensations actually the voltage is around ~1.43V i believe.

I wouldn't be afraid rising QPI to 1.35V... actually my XMP profile does it by default lol.

Next most important thing is finding your max stable uncore frequency.

 

[FilipM]

PLL is too high me thinks...what are your IOH and ICH voltages?

 

[Recon-UK]

PLL is too high me thinks...what are your IOH and ICH voltages?

AUTO.

 

[FilipM]

Auto = 1.1 = too low. Try upping the IOH Core voltage, start with 1.16 or 1.18 and see what it does

I have mine at 1.20 just to be safe.

 

[FilipM]

I found 1.16 to be most stable at 4.2GHz at the moment...any less, BSOD, any more requiered more of the other voltages (Vcore, qpi, pll) to be 50 runs stable with max mem in LinX.

PS. Lower PLL will lower your heat down.
