Not many people have posted much about this cpu. and o/c. I've decided (whilst the wife was out) to order one, with an Asus P5P800 SE. I went with this combo, so I could keep my agp card and memory.

Surely some of you must have dabbled with this cpu and could excite me with your results?

Yes, it's your fault I'm buying this combo. So I guess your are happy with your setup. Does these chips run very hot, with your o/c to 3.9?
 
It's good, windows is very nippy. Will certainly keep it over my [email protected] / 280mhz FSB.

It's just a shame you can't lower the multipler. I could on my 925XE chipset board, does anyone know if it is possible on the 975x? or 955x?

It did hit 60 at one point with a lot of volts, but that is pretty normal for the intel chips. Not caused any stability problems through heat though. While I am air I have it at 3.7ghz and just a tad above stock volts.

I need to do some memory bandwidth benches, but I don't think they will be too good vs a 250mhz fsb +

Even 2 x 3.6ghz cores for £99 is a bargain!
 
Thats one good cpu you have there. When mine comes tomorrow, I'll post back and let you know how it clocks.

I guess it's time to sell my p4 and p4c800-e deluxe m/b. Best board I've ever had. (Sooooo Sad)
 
Got it up and running. But the asus m/b undervolts on the core. At the moment it's @ 3.5 both cores and prime stable for 8 hours.

The Asus reports 63 full load, but some how I don't believe it, core is 1.25 to 1.30. I tried the hsf that came with it and thats goes upto 76.

Asus 955 & 975 can definately lower the mutliplier. Should be ok with other mobos based on those chipsets as its a std feature now.
 
I wonder why they left it out on the 945? It's annoying I would have gotten a 955 if I had known.

*edit

After reading the manual it appears it is not the motherboard. That supports it ok. Just no options appear for this CPU.

I could put my 3.4ghz Prescott in this board to confirm, but I haven't got time at the moment.

the asrock looks like a cheap supporting board, but from the looks of things its not a good clocker.

Tis fully featured, with ddr + ddr 2 support, pci-express, ati r200 graphics.

i had a browse and dont i think it supports voltage adjustments?
tis a shame if it doesnt, is quite cheap though.
 
I think the cpu is locked @ x20, I have the P5p800 se, and the option for the multi doesn't show up. The manual says, if the cpu is able to be reduced then this option will show up.
