damnnn


BTW, what kind of memory is he running? he said hes running 1:1 @ 550 fsb or something like that @ 6^ ghz??

Its DDR2 667 (OCZ) running at 333 quad pumped is 1333.33 (1:1) for "slower" tests.
2.3 vmem 380 1:1 4-2-2-8 OCZ DDR2 PC4200 EB R2 Platinum for 7.2GHz (fastest so far into BIOS screen)

I think he's running 1.6vcore for the 4.6 GHz. Either way, it's insane. I'm still in denile.

He said it can't get into windows at a FSB higher than 350... what a moron... why does it even matter if it's "stable in the bios"???

Does a lot of good just POSTing. Too bad you can't do anything at that speed. :roll:

isn't there like a hardware limit to how fast a given architecture can physically be? Like if the slowest step in the pipeline takes 1ns to complete, then the maximum clock speed is 1GHz, correct? If so, I doubt Prescott's pipeline has the capacity to hit that kind of clockspeed stably, since the architecture was only designed to hit 4-5GHz before the now-dead Tejas was supposed to take over. I can't imagine that overclocking past 5GHz would actually yield a stable processor, even if you had the best piece of silicon ever, due to the inherent limits in the architecture. If I'm wrong, then somebody please explain it to me.

Anyways, I don't give a crap what he can boot into BIOS with, or even what he can boot windows with - if it isn't stable, then there is no point in bragging about it. It's about as useful as a car that can hit 500MPH, but you can't shift it out of park.

I agree gobucks. I find the over clock a little flaky. He could be just using a linux shell to run CPU-Z without anything else loaded. Never ran Linux - so forgive me if I'm wrong. I think the inability for him to run glock gen - for whatever excuse he had - made it even more deceptive looking. He was obviously not stating all the facts about his overclock as each post he made was neither fully descriptive or fluent. His 2003 Future mark score does not even account for all of the tests. Likely because it crashes halfway through the benchmark.

And the -103c is obviously a bios or mobo temp read error. Those are not his real temps.

Anybody who runs a prescott at 1.95v's is asking for trouble but that's what enthusiast over clockers do.
