Time for folks with more money than sense to join the Core i7 980X Gulftown club  Update: Some Core i7 980X uncore to mem ratio tips here. Update 2: Still working on my Core i7 980X review - preview excel sheet of amount of benchmarks/tests I've run (5x times for each benchmark!)  Update 3: Core i7 980X Review preview posted Got my 980X last week but due to family health issues + work, haven't touched a bench rig in 6+ weeks now! Westmere 32nm goodness  0609 bios loaded the other day on Asus P6T6 WS Revolution System:
   @4009Mhz 1.264v idle and 1.216v load With EIST/Turbo enabled and Win7 Power Management set to Balanced. Loadline Calibration Disabled = Intel vdroop enabled. wPrime v1.55 Load   Prime95 Load  3dmark06 with HD5870 @850/1200 default  @4276Mhz 1.320v idle and 1.264v load With EIST/Turbo enabled and Win7 Power Management set to Balanced. Loadline Calibration Disabled = Intel vdroop enabled. wPrime v1.55 Load - did 2 runs here as I have Turbo Power AUTO which meant @4276Mhz 1.264v load, it throttled according to i7 Turbo monitor. Then I set Turbo Power in bios to Disabled to prevent throttling for 2nd run. Noticeably faster wprime 32M and 1024M times when Turbo Power is disabled to prevent throttling. Turbo Power AUTO   Turbo Power Disabled   3dmark06 with HD5870 @850/1200 default  Will be doing a full on review for Core i7 980X later on i4memory.com, lots and lots of benchmarks to follow  Post your results here... Update: Usual info for some folks. Gulftown if you try to push uncore frequency (and memory frequency) exactly like Bloomfield i7 900 series with 2:1 uncore to dram frequency ratio (2x), then yes will still need lots of CPU VTT volts to get stable. But unlike Bloomfield, Gulftown has a lower uncore to dram frequency ratio requirement at 3:2 min (1.5x), so if you want to use less CPU VTT, you can drop uncore frequency to 1.5x times dram frequency set and thus use less CPU VTT volts at the expense of some drop in performance (how much drop not yet sure - something probably I'll look at in my i7 980x review for i4memory.com  )Absolute max voltage/current from intel datasheet pdfs, compare for Core i7 980X vs Core i7 900 series (i7 920 to i7 975) Core i7 980X  vs Core i7 900 series  |

LOL Tim... 980X tempting ya ? First bench moving off crap low memory clocks for something more decent memory clock wise Validation i7 980X @4844Mhz at 1.456v   Super Pi 32M, Wprime 32M & 3dmark06 @4620Mhz 1.448v   Single HD5870 @ stock 850/1200  Wprime 1024M @4620Mhz 1.456v Load temps   PowerMate Wattage Meter Peak system power draw from wall:

Will can my other thread and post my highlights / progress here CPU running well under LN2 Cold Boot Bug at around -140 and Cold Bugs around -175  All my benching to date done at a max 1.61V :leet: CPUZ at 6103 Just a quick few 2d runs - lots of work to do on optimising yet if I need to :wired:    |
