Got a bit of a fright when I couldn't get it to work at first but a bios flash later and I'm good to go.

Time to see what it can do on air.

Nice

hogfather · 25 Jan 2006 at 16:31

DAMN! 2.6 and 1mb cache!

hominid · 25 Jan 2006 at 16:38

And at 1.3V too, that should be a very good clocker - I'm envious

Ooh a 754 mobile! I was gonna get one of these bad boys before I jumped on the Opteron bandwagon. I assume it set you back a huge wad of cash? I'm looking forward to seeing how this performs!

GAMEfreak · 25 Jan 2006 at 16:41

how much did you pay for it?

Kesnel · 25 Jan 2006 at 16:43

We want clocks!

Nice chip.

meths · 25 Jan 2006 at 16:52

It was £178 including delivery from some guy in Taiwan plus about 20 bucks for a failed Escrow transaction. I wouldn't normally take the risk but he offered Escrow and sent the CPU before I gave him any cash.

Ended up not using Escrow and I still haven't paid him anything. Good job for him I'm honest.

Really looking forward to seeing clocks on this chip, was considering getting one myself, if I can scrape the pennies together...

That's fricking awesome! Damn, I'm going to regret the Opty now...

What's the rest of the spec you're using? (so I can start drooling)...

Not gonna push it any further till the rest of my watercooling arrives. I've got a Thermochill PA160 and a D5 pump but I'm waiting on a Storm CPU block and Silverprop GPU block. I wish they'd hurry the hell up!!!

Holy crap! That's insane! 3gig on 754 is so sweet, and only 1.47V too! Good job.
