[eva2000]

My first W3520 and nice week batch 3845A935

4000Mhz at 1.184v load = coretemp = 57-60c load temps in 26.5C ambients!

4446Mhz at 1.360v
Very strong on BCLK'ing even on 20x multiplier!

4534Mhz at 1.376v

Nicely done...you've got a strong one there!

 

[eva2000]

thanks rdrash..

4600Mhz at 1.472v

Bumped up vcore and tried 20x230bclk = 4600Mhz and 32M Pi passed easily Haven't tried lower vcore yet though

 

[CharlieCS]

That's mighty.Great job. If only i haven't quit my job , i would have had one of these by now >_>

 

[eva2000]

Thanks... sorry to here about your job - very bad times these days....

oc'ing cures all ills

3dmark06 @21x215bclk - 4509Mhz

3dmark05 @21x215bclk - 4509Mhz

3dmark Vantage @21x215bclk - 4509Mhz

Nice OCing...now try a bclk of 225x21 and see if it's stable. You may need to raise PCI-E Frequency to 110 or higher to get it to boot.

 

[N3buchan3zzar]

Trust me, Eva2000 knows how to get by the 222BCLK wall, I just checked HWBots 920 CPUz and I'm only a hair up on the chart from him. That's only his C0 too and he's got it at 225 there.

<jealous of the Xeon man.

Wowzers...what the heck accounts for needing so much less vCore for Vantage compared to 32M you think? Thats a huge difference for roughly the same clocks unless I'm missing something.

 

[Brando]

What the hell. The DO comes out and it's supposed to be the "it" chip so I get one, and now this! WTF! Oh well I guess the same thing will happen to you when the 32nm chips come out

 

[jcniest5]

No matter how good a CPU is, there's another one better coming along...there's no end to it unless the world ends today, then everything will stop, otherwise, there will always be better things (not just CPUs) in the future. Makes life more exciting...

 

[Bobnova]

My e5200 and i feel silly.


That said, i'm going to wait to upgrade till 32nm has been out for a while, then i'll probably either buy the e5200-style 32nm chip, or a 45nm core2quad if the price on 'em goes down.

Yeah I know, it's just annoying when the better thing comes along the day you get your new thing.

max benchable bclk for me for 5 cpus is 230bclk or there abouts, so all i need is cpu to be able to hit that for water cooling on 21x multi hehe

Been benching my W3520 and it's been a while since i got a hardware top 5

New PB lands me #4 world ranked HD4870x2 CF 3dmark vantage score of 28,338 http://hwbot.org/listResults.do?gpu...er=true&filterBlocked=true&sli=true&limit=100 ! Right behind Dino at #3

vcore is 1.136v idle and 1.376v load

 

[Brolloks]

Real nice benchies Eva, my W3520 is the same batch and has the same good spirit

 

[xtkxhom3r]

WOW man iv only been able to get my 3520 up to 4.3 prime stable on my rampage... i think im missing something lol... would you mind posting your settings for 4.5??

 

[eva2000]

Real nice benchies Eva, my W3520 is the same batch and has the same good spirit

congrats on grabbing a gem batch Looking forward to your results

oc'ing cures all ills

3dmark06 @21x215bclk - 4509Mhz

3dmark05 @21x215bclk - 4509Mhz

3dmark Vantage @21x215bclk - 4509Mhz

Was this actually 4.5GHz at ONLY 1.136v????

 

[xtkxhom3r]

how high were you setting your ioh at?? how about cpu pll?

 

[eva2000]

Above you can see in SG voltage reporting app IOH = 1.13v which is default 1.11v in bios.

1.136v is idle vcore, 1.376v is load vcore.

Loving this DFI UT X58-T3EH8 + W3520 + Corsair Dominator GT 2000C7 combination even more. How's Uncore frequency @4600Mhz with QPI frequency @4140Mhz with 230bclk straight boot from bios for Super Pi 32M and 3dmark06 on water cooled cpu!

• Uncore Frequency = 4600Mhz
  [*]QPI Frequency = 4140Mhz

[xtkxhom3r]

wow i would never be able to pull an oc like yours you have a crazy good chip man

i declare your chip a golden chip

 

[eva2000]

thanks... near golden indeed

Time to really push my W3520 on H20 cooling still. Managed to break alot of personal best benchmarks for max validation, max uncore frequency achived, Super Pi 1M, 32M and Pi Fast on i7/X58 platform
