My first unlocked cpu multi Nehalem processor in the house!

Xeon W3570 3847A696 unlocked cpu multiplier LGA1366 socket cpu

Apparently 3847A696 is another gem batch especially for sub zero cooling at -155C capable!

Guys feel free to post your Xeon W3570 results here. Scum eyes on you mate with 2x W3570!



Update:

First 5hrs with cpu. Quickie tests done and I must say these W3570 3847A696 are overclocking beasts! To be able to get screenshots and validation @4911-4966Mhz HT enabled with 1.45v bios (1.440v idle) vcore is crazy!

Temp and vcore at 4ghz (1.184v) wise, it's pretty similar to my W3520 3845A935. It's definitely cooler than my hotter W3540 3845B010 but not as cool as my i7 920 3845B260 (coolest cpu I've got).

System:

• Intel Xeon W3570 3847A696
• EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
• Asus P6T6 WS Revolution
• Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD
• 512MB Inno3D 8800GT OC Edition 190.62WHQL
• 750GB Samsung SATA
• Pioneer DVR-217 DVD-RW
• Corsair HX1000 PSU
• Dual Boot - WinXP Pro SP3 (nLite fully updated) with Vista Theme & Win7 Ultimate 64bit RTM

Room ambient = 29.0C to 30.8C

Unlocked cpu multiplier is alot of fun

Max Validation @4966Mhz at 1.440v

Screenshot @4911Mhz at 1.440v

Prime95 @4000hz at 1.184v

Prime95 @4227hz at 1.24v

Trying to see how I could go for Super Pi 1M so bumped vcore from 1.45v (1.44v) to 1.4875V (1.472V) and 1.50v (1.488v). With HT still enabled managed to pull of Super Pi 1M @4911Mhz at 1.472v and cpuz validation was @5011Mhz at 1.488v but it was corrupt so next saved validation was @4997Mhz at 1.488v

Room ambients = ~31.4C

System:

• Intel Xeon W3570 3847A696
• EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
• Asus P6T6 WS Revolution
• Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD
• 512MB Inno3D 8800GT OC Edition 190.62WHQL
• 750GB Samsung SATA
• Pioneer DVR-217 DVD-RW
• Corsair HX1000 PSU
• Dual Boot - WinXP Pro SP3 (nLite fully updated) with Vista Theme & Win7 Ultimate 64bit RTM

Realtemp 3.42 reported around 43-47C idle temps didn't bother looking at load

Max Validation @4997Mhz at 1.488v

Max Super Pi 1M @4911Mhz at 1.472v

I like


Day 3 update: Loving this W3570 3847A696 cpu even more, first time I've benched 32M Pi above 4.8Ghz with HT enabled - 4803Mhz with only 1.464v vcore ! Ignore the slow 32M Pi time as was using loose mem timings and low mem frequency just to see if cpu is capable of HT enabled 4.8ghz 32M Pi. Really should be down in 7min 20s range for 4.8ghz

Funny look at difference between 4th and 1st core temps 45C idle vs 38C idle.




Day 4 update: Bumped vcore up a tad for Super Pi 32M then pushed vcore up more for 3dmark05 @4803Mhz HT enabled at 1.528v. 3dmark06 cpu test would crash to desktop at 4803Mhz HT 1.528v so probably try more vcore later.

System:

• Intel Xeon W3570 3847A696
• EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
• Asus P6T6 WS Revolution
• Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD

• Pioneer DVR-217 DVD-RW
• Corsair HX1000 PSU
• Dual Boot - WinXP Pro SP3 (nLite fully updated) with Vista Theme & Win7 Ultimate 64bit RTM

W3570 @4830Mhz HT 1.488v

W3570 @4803Mhz HT 1.528v

512MB Inno3D 8800GT OC Edition @729/1782/2000
3Dmark05 = 30,239

What CPU is this Xeon equivalent to in the Core i7 lineup? i965?

Yeah same as i7 965 but with D0 stepping

i7 965 3.2ghz C0 stepping
vs
Xeon W3570 3.2ghz D0 stepping

Nice stuff there George
Waiting for results

Interesting. I would have thought the 965 would also be a D0 stepping by now. Should be an awesome overclocker!

Nice one mate how long did shipping take, pretty quick by the looks of it.

Edit- Stuff it I'm pulling the trigger on one too lol so cheap can't pass up on it.

Now off to ocau to sell my W3550 heheheeh.

I hope it overclocks like a beast for ya too George.
