Skulltrail more info.

[Nemesis 1]

Well guys since I posted the above . There has been another development. After I posted here.

This is what Fugger is saying now.

Oh wait, my bad.

They love the voltage and they love the cold. I was confused by the question...

Last night one of my main cpu died and my backup cpu is worse.

Thats a typo. My bad again. No CPU have been harmed and Team Japan would need more than 6Ghz to catch me.

So thats all changed since my above post. So I am really confused now. The only thing I know for fact is that the penryn I seen running was O/C to 4.4 ghz. I don't know what stepping it was as I wasn't told so I call it an A0 stepping to be on safe side. But maybe A0 won't do 4.4. I haven't a clue on that. I do know he now has an x38 chipset M/B but information has dried up. I wonder if he didn't see my post here.

This is delusional speak. Find me the links. Having played with the chip for quite a while, I can tell you this is not the case.

The A1 chips arn't that great a clockers. They also coldbug around -70 to -80.

There are supposedly B0 yorkfield 3.33x10 chips out but there isn't much info, on how they clock as they are <2 weeks old.

So you have a bad chip not a big deal.

We will see what fugger's presentation is.

You should really be banned, for talking about things you have absolutely no idea about.

So because I have seen in real life a penryn running @ 4.4ghz on water I should be banned?

Could you help me become more knowledgeable by showing pics of your penryns with a sheet of paper in the background with Yoxxy written on it.

I gave you the link you asked for than you come back flaming. Gee Whiz

As I already said befor I don't have a clue what steppings he had.I just called them AO to be on the safe side I don't know what stepping are out now or when they came out. Nor do I know the M/b used . I do know he has a X38 chipset now . But He has gone quiet on me.

Still waiting on those pics.

[Nemesis 1]

I wasn't referring to Fugger. What is an X42 chipset I haven't heard of that one yet?

 

[The-Noid]

aaa

 

[Nemesis 1]

Cool! What process is it on 90nm 65nm 45nm?

 

[The-Noid]

aaaa

 

[Nemesis 1]

So no pics and the process is aaaaa! Nice all your post edited to aaaa. So i guess that settles that.

The single socket enthusiast motherboard from Intel is not Skulltrail, but Bonetrail. Skulltrail is Intel's V8.

X48 is a hand-picked X38 chipset, meaning its still on 90nm.

So I doubt the real enthusiasts that play games will have a problem with whatever Skulltrail is. Because they'll worry about X38 chipset variants like Bonetrail.

Surely your not sugjesting that if I decide on a skulltrail system over a bonetrail system that I am not a real enthusiast. 1mean with a 30" lcd using a top of the line GPU using possiably XF the best watercooling system I have ever seen(DARK STAR). Multipol HDs running raid 6. ( AS of right now I will be getting Bonetrail) but I have the option of changing that. Since I keep systems along time I am looking into skulltrail. I am leaning towards SKulLtrail tho. I like the 1600fsb Stock.

I know the differance between bonetrail(x38) and skulltrail(revamped server). Most people here also do.

Today is going to be fun . Its said Intel is showing a running Nehalem system this week :Q

A link to what exactly X48 is would be nice. I knew that X38 was on 90nm or thought i did. That question was for another. As many rumors are fling around about x48 . So this week should filll the gap. I personnally believe X48 will be 65nm. But who knows.
I know someone who knows these things but because I blabbed no more info.

So if we get more info on larrabee its going to be a perfect week for me. Many unknows will become common knowledge.

 

[The-Noid]

p35/x38/x42/x48 == all the same process, all the same die.

Stop the presses its looking more and more like SLI comes to skull trail as an exclusive.

Intel has a Quadro SLI license for its workstation boards. Skulltrail is in essence such a board, thus it will have SLI support, but only Quadro. I think I've written something like this seven times now. >_<

I thought that as well.... but having had my first look at a skulltrail board this weekend, I can tell you that I was WRONG.

The bolded part above is by Poncho. He says he was wrong . Looks like Skull trail dual sockets are going to be HOT Hot Hot sellers!

 

[Nemesis 1]

Fugger and Ponch both have confirmed it . Skull trail gets sli.

That does it for me. The guy I am buying my Dark STar system has great information. Everthing he has told me and shown me has been spot on .

No more builds for me I am going to suck up to this guy . I just called him and told him I want Skulltrail and he said Ok . So I have to wait a little longer I have 4 good machines here. No big deal.

 

[The-Noid]

Dark Star is an oxymoron, no?

Also X38/X42 ran SLI for a while and Nvidia took them out of the driver.

Better to wait for retail to see what really happens.

Nvidia could be playing nice though so they will get their Intel Chipset License back next year though.

Only time will tell.

The only question I have is what do you do with 8 cores besides benchmarks? There are only a handful of programs that can even make use of dual cores and even less that make use of 4.

I just don't see people coding for 8 cores unless you are in the Workstation or design business.

 

[Nemesis 1]

The bench mark I like best in the whole world are the PC mark ones. I know their just stupid benchies but I like this one . With 7 HD's running Raid 6 . And 6g. of memory and XF or sli and dual Xoens 771's should score very good.
Besides my friends will turn green with envy.

Dark Star is The best looking case I have ever seen and the watercooling system is unreal to see and how it works is unreal . This guy is no artist. But he is a perfectionist . He is also very well connected. I can't tell you more because he told me I was giving out to much info. He reads the forums also . Hell you could be him I don't know.

Raid 6 is slower than 2 discs in raid 0, let alone having 4 in raid 0.

 

[Nemesis 1]

Yes its even slower than 6 raptors in raid 0 But If I lose a HD I can recover the the lost info . I have a hugh media library . That I have gotten off the net threw the years and I don't want to lose it. So its raid 6 which is faster than Raid 5.

Raid 6 with 6 rapters is faster than raid 0 with 4 raptors. I am getting Adaptec RAID 3085 with this system I just talked to him again. The raid system uses the controller I showed you. 6 raptors and 2 samsung 1tb. for recovery.

4 raptors in raid0

And yes its faster then 2 raptors in raid0


And 4 raptors raid 0 is faster then 5 raptors in raid 5

I didnt have the chance to play with raid6 i do have 6 raptors, but 2 of them are on another quadcore on raid.


My NAS was built because i had too much data. Thats why its a NAS. She is loaded with 4 x 750gig hard drives. And im running out of space. >.<

 

[Nemesis 1]

I thought I would add a few good things to this thread .

1). Skull Trail gets SLI.

2). Skull trail is an O/C monster.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UkAX5Ojn9s

3) New RBdimms are to be released that cut heat and power usage .

I am sorry what happened in this thread. But I have recently found out that the above statements are facts. OR should I say . Have been made to appear as facts.

Doesn't matter I want this system . With a great watercooling setup it should last me for years. YES it is expensive. But it is also way COOL!

 

[Keysplayr]

RAID 0 is the fastest, but can only get "so" fast until it reaches the bandwidth limit of it's controller/PCI bus. 2 disks in R0 are faster than a single disk. 3 disks in R0 are faster than 2 in R0, but at this point, for practical desktop controllers anyway, this is where the wall is hit for performance gain adding more disks. At least this is what I have run into playing with non-SCSI desktop RAID setups.
The most drives I would have in a desktop SATA RAID0 setup would be 4. The drives could spin at 40,000 RPM's but that wouldn't increase the throughput of the controller.

How did we get here again?
