Conroe, maybe you'd like to see this..

That means the max is 1.75 volts.

some bioses support a much higher vcore, my current one only allows me to set it to 113%, but my old one (the latest official one) would allow 130 odd %

How far would you have to overclock an FX62 for it to keep up with that? 6Ghz?

EDIT: Jimbo, It reads just below 1.7v in CPU-Z for me, but i know thats probably an inaccurate reading, mate.

Just a bit. It'll be 1.76 in reality on the Ultra D.

Yes, but there's a bug on the non-expert boards meaning above 113% can sometimes spike the voltage and kill the CPU. Check out DFI forums.


Just so I'm on topic.........

Conroe for the win!

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed with their overclocks on these because they dont want the huge volts.

I agree entirely. I don't understand why such a fear of volts and temps as developed here.

Big clocks require big volts people.

Like my 805 running 1.6v (1.325v stock) on stoack air cooling for my super pi run

As conroe runs relatively cool I dont see why running higher than average overvolts should be a problem

 

[welshtom]

well, its not the temps that do most of the damage anyway.

 

[Raikiri]

electro migration etc.?

I meant that the safe temp is generally lower the higher the voltage, so that would play less of a factor when overclocking when compared to prescot cores.

What Conroe chip is that screen shot?

I thought the X6800 is going to be 266*11 (2.93)

The screen shot shows a multi of 12? Are the multi's going to be unlocked in both directions or is it's an Engineering Sample ?

 

[saffyre]

I guess damage to the chips is a combnation of both temp and voltage. Which is why people use ln2 etc for the high volts, as this would decrease the temp of the components allowing them to cope with the higher volts without taking damage or malfunctioning.

How long until someone breaks 10 seconds for a 1MB Super PI

 

[matt1]

I'm looking forward to the release of these chips and watching most of you overclocking them, wish I could play aswell but I can't warrant the upgrade and don't have the money. Donation anyone?

Either way I think people will get some good clocks, but when restricted to air/water I wonder how much of an improvement will be gained over an overclocked A64 chip.

 

[Stelly]

5ghz.....I know what my next CPU will be

I hear ya mate

it's socket 775 for conroe isnt it? just trying to figure out a good mobo for one of these come august time

Fix your sig dude, its 4 lines max!

XE6800 = unlocked mullti both directions

2 people have E6700's @ 3.6-3.7ghz dual prime
air cooled stable with a Tower 120 on it

X6800 is 12-60x as far as I know.

Also requires big cooling?

Thats very impressive

Very close to breaking 10s
