How do the C1 cores overclock?

aw noooooooo! I wanted to get that so bad, now someones gonna outbid me.

 

[AudiMan]

It might be me!

C1 are ok, but the MO is still the best. The nice thing with the ES is the unlocked multiplier. You can get the FSB to the sweet spot and then dial in the multiplier. 1:1 RAM/FSB rules.

 

[AudiMan]

Any estimates as to how high C1's can OC?

 

[craig588]

Probably 3.1-3.2GHz. The highest chip on the C1 core is 3.06GHz AFAIK.

 

[AudiMan]

I wonder what the multiplier ranges would be on that CPU.

 

[Chaser]

that would be so sweet to get, too bad its not 800 fsb

Of 8 that I had, the best one could go 3.5 stable on air. I recall stumbling across a few of these ES chips about this time last year on ebay and I heard that one of the buyers got 3.5GHz as well.

Imo, the seller is an idiot for posting this on ebay...

Yeah, selling and buying Engineering Sample CPU's is illegal. These chips remain the property of Intel. I'd stay clear.

 

[craig588]

really? I guess I wont be upping my bid then.

Is their any other way to obtain one legally?

If it's completely unlocked then your motherboard would be the item that determines the max & min multiplier.

That's the great thing about unlocked chips - they don't really have a rated FSB. Set the multiplier at 14x and you've got an 800FSB 2.8C.

Yes. You can only get one legally if Intel 'loans' it to you, requiring some sort of product tester status AFAIK.

well that is interesting. i never knew that. i was about to bid on it too. sounds to me like this is a bogus deal.

 

[Don K]

Excuse my ignorance, but is the HT enabled because its an ES? I thought that only the 3,06 Ghz model of the C1's was with HT?

 

[craig588]

I'm so glad someone outbid me on this one, it seems a little odd. (HT on a 2.8GHz 533MHz bus, just seems wrong)

I bought a 3.0GHz 800FSB HT ES chip instead.

I was able to get one for sale off a forum but you'd want to see a pic of the chip for sure...especially off ebay..
