805 OCing article

[perdomot]

Seems like this cpu is getting popular very quickly. Article is OK but wish they had more benchies. Still waiting for Anandtech to release their review soon. Hopefully more 805 owners like Stevty 2889 will continue to give us their benchies so we can get a good idea what this cpu can do. Video encoding to divx and mpeg 1/2 is what I'm watching out for.

Definatly needs more benchmarks but a neat read nonetheless.

Here is another article. Glad I ordered the cpu today before it goes out of stock:

I loved this processor 2 months ago, crazy that it is catching on now...

This processor, at 20 x 133, is unlocked?

I could not get the FSB higher than 207 MHz, not even with a 14x multiplier. Since I saw the core running at a much higher MHz rating, and since I've run the motherboard with an 1160 MHz FSB before, the limit had to be the processor. Frankly, I have to wonder if Intel did not put PLL circuitry on the chip to limit the maximum reachable FSB.

The power envelope on the D 805 is 95W, and it is 135W on the D 840. I have to wonder if the thermal shutdown temperature is fixed at a lower level on the 805.

interesting...
