because of the 8 threads?

Looking really good there pal.

What mobo do you have, and are you using the tri-channel 3x2GB of DDR3?

Cob · 30 Aug 2008 at 12:09

1.576v for 4.1ghz :/

Is that on one of your own boards?

Strife212 · 30 Aug 2008 at 13:03

It's a Nehalem, the voltage reporting doesn't work I don't think

Pneumonic · 30 Aug 2008 at 13:15

indeed but under 10sec superpi @ 4.1ghz.. thats pretty damm quick

The FSB and multiplier aren't also reported correctly

Rroff · 30 Aug 2008 at 19:49

That does look sweet

Why's that?

133 x 31 = 4.1ghz.

133mhz is Nehalems default bus speed, and it's probably an unlocked chip, so a x31 multi is more than possible.

zomg, x31 multiplier? if you get a higher fsb, 5ghz could be a target to beat!

Cob · 30 Aug 2008 at 20:54

That particular chip will be locked to x22 when it's released.

TheCenturion · 30 Aug 2008 at 21:00

still, with a 200mhz fsb, x22 will get you 4.4ghz! lol, i can't wait to see how these chips clock

Didn't know that, any links for more info on why they've gone back to a lower FSB? Done a search and all I've found out is that it's not a normal FSB but a point to point.

There is no FSB on Nehalem since the memory controller is on the CPU rather than on a northbridge on the motherboard. They're using a bus similar to AMD's HyperTransport (Quick Path Interconnect/QPI).

interesting result

my skulltrail setup with CPUs at 3.2Ghz does it in 14.7

wish i could clock mine to the same speed to compare.

So what's the point in DDR3 then?

Cob · 1 Sep 2008 at 13:43

Nehalem will create a heck of a lot of bandwidth, and DDR3 will be able to take advantage of it.

What voltage are you putting through this? If an average chip can hit this it would be completely crazy.

agreed, especially if this chip was put under water! as long as temps are good, it should be one heck of an overclocker!
