| Administrator |  Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 B2 + Asus 680i Striker Extreme
Time to check out my X6800 L627A872 retail cpu on Asus 680i Striker in preparation for SLI benchmarks.    System:
Start with known stable speed configuration of 9x400FSB = 3600Mhz at 1.36v Settings used:
 Small ffts load  While the cpu used slightly less vcore it was still warmer at idle and load than when X6800 L627A872 cpu was on P5B Deluxe @3.6Ghz Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 B2 + P5B Deluxe with Swiftech G4 Storm/Thermochill 120.3 and MCP650 Pump. This isn't unusual as all my E6600/E6700/Q6600 ran hotter on Asus 680i Striker Extreme than they did on Asus P5B Deluxe. X6800 on Asus P5B Deluxe @3.6Ghz idle @1.4v vcore = 34C/35C at 26C ambient load @1.38v vcore = 51/52C at 26C ambient X6800 on Asus 680i Striker @3.6Ghz idle @1.38v vcore = 44C/45C at 29-30C ambient load @1.36v vcore = 58-60C at 29-30C ambient While warmer relative to on Asus P5B Deluxe, this X6800 still ran a good 6-8C cooler under load on Asus 680i Striker Extreme.  |

Seems this X6800 runs alot hotter under load on Striker than it did on P5B Deluxe, but still relatively cooler under load than my previous core2 cpus. Playing with lower multipler of 8x to see how it goes. 3392mhz at 1.26v vcore under load resulted in 54-55C load temps in 30-32C room ambients (~4-5C hotter than first post's room ambients). Settings used:

Yup water cooling does help = 3200mhz at 1.20v load Settings used:

Now to try out 4x1GB G.Skill 6400PHU2 2GB HZ Micron D9GMH 629 batch for the first time on Asus 680i Striker Extreme.  Some folks say they're having issues with 4x1GB modules so thought I'd try it out at the below memory clock speeds.
Settings used:
@400mhz 4-4-4-12 5-22-6-8-42 at 2.15v vdimm  @480mhz 4-4-4-12 5-22-6-8-42 at 2.20v vdimm   @500mhz 4-4-4-12 5-22-6-8-42 at 2.25v vdimm Started testing by dropping multiplier from 11x to 9x and upping FSB to 400FSB and 4x1GB G.Skill 6400PHU2 2GB HZ Micron D9GMH 629 batch @500mhz 4-4-4-12 at 2.25v vdimm bios set.   Dual Super Pi 32M   |

Back with my 2x1GB OCZ PC2-8000 Titanium Alpha VX2 memory and I surprised myself in breaking my personal best single Super Pi 32M time at 3600Mhz core2 duo cpu clocks - and my PB was on 965P/975x of around 13min 37-39 seconds. But this is on Asus 680i Striker of all boards and with sub 600mhz memory clocks. But guess tight timings + tight sub timings helped with just 533mhz 4-3-3-4 2T at 2.35v bios set vdimm 
Old PB Single Super Pi 32M time on Asus 680i Striker Extreme  New PB Single Super Pi 32M time on Asus 680i Striker Extreme  better run  1M  Everest Ultimate Bandwidth  Yes the X6800 being B2 stepping might have helped too against my old E6600 B1, but I'm putting my money on the tight subtimings being the main factor in such fast times |

| Administrator | Re: Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 B2 + Asus 680i Striker Extreme 560mhz 4-3-3-4 2T 3-1-3-6-34 at 2.5v vdimm Yup tight ass main and sub timings on Asus 680i Striker really do make a huge difference. Who would of thought I could pull off sub 13min 30s Super Pi 32M times at 3600mhz with a 680i chipset motherboard without even clocking memory above 560mhz (DDR2-1120) speeds! Jumped all the way to 560mhz 4-3-3-4 2T with sub timings of 3-1-3-6-34 at 2.5v vdimm bios set. According to memtest86+ v1.70, reported bandwidth at 560mhz 4-3-3-4 2T was 5413MB/s versus at 533mhz 4-3-3-4 2T of 5209MB/s.  Digital camera snapshots of 32M run with 3x cpuz windows open + memset window.     Final result = 13m 28s 391ms   Re-ran 32M but with cpuz and memset windows closed = 13m 27s 719ms !  1M time = 13.922s  Everest Ultimate Bandwidth with 43.3ns latency!  Hexus Pi Fast  All I can say is bloody fast for 680i chipset |

Managed to clock ram up to 600mhz 5-3-3-3 2T but with even further tighten the sub timings even more but had to loosen CAS from 4 to 5 in order to keep vdimm at 2.5v bios set ceiling (within OCZ warrantied max vdimm of 2.52v) Memtest86+ v1.70 reported bandwidth
600mhz 5-3-3-3 2T 2-1-2-8-24 at 2.5v vdimm  Super Pi 1M  Super Pi 32M  Everest Ultimate Bandwidth with 42.9ns latency!  Hexus Pifast  That's fastest I've managed to run Super Pi 32M at 3600mhz cpu speeds on any core2 platform to date (including Asus P5B Deluxe/P5W DH, Intel D975XBX, DFI ICFX3200) ! Yup further tweaked managed to shave a few seconds off   |

Yeah very fast indeed 4000Mhz - 10x400FSB / 3950mhz - 10x395FSB The Asus 680i Striker Extreme just runs my X6800 hotter than on Asus P5B Deluxe at higher vcore settings ~10-13C hotter at idle. I tried X6800 @10x400FSB = 4000Mhz at 1.56-1.62v vcore and idle coretemp reported 57-67C versus same X6800 on Asus P5B Deluxe at 4092mhz at 1.65v vcore only reporting coretemps idle at 45-47C. So only could manage 1M times for X6800 @4000mhz at 1.6v (1.57v load) on Asus 680i Striker Extreme. Higher vcore just meant reboots in windows under load (maybe vdroop too much at higher vcore like on P5B Deluxe ? ) Super Pi 1M  Everest Bandwidth with 42.7ns latency  But at much lower vcore of 1.56v idle/1.54v load, coretemp reports more reasonable idle temps and I can manage 3967-3972mhz at 1.56v idle for 32M with lower mem clocks but once hit 600mhz 5-3-3-x timings seems tight sub timings cause instability until I drop cpu down to 3950mhz at 1.57v idle! @592.5mhz 5-3-3-5 3-1-6-8-28 2T timings at 2.5v vdimm bios set, Memtest86+ v1.70 reports 5540MB/s memory bandwidth. Super Pi 1M  Super Pi 32M  Everest Bandwidth with 43.0ns latency  Compared to my old previous max 32M on Asus 680i Striker  |
