Coolaler @ 11.266s w/ 4.53Ghz Conroe !!!

[OC_LeGeND]

damn thats a nice score i just ran 1m on my P4 @ 4Ghz and it did it in 45s

[zakelwe]

Excellent to go sub 12

In regards to 5Ghz on LN2 or 4Ghz on air it would be prudent to wait until it happens and not lambast somebody else just because they hold a different viewpoint to yourselves. It's the future, people will make guesses but there is no certainty. I think we all hope that both those things happen though, as we are overclockers of course.

noticed that this is already past?

here is the "everyday-update"

[DesertShooter]

Very sick indeed

Conroe S-Pi predictions

Can't wait for the 3D results!

80K 3dMark01?
23k 3DMark05?
200+K AM3?

[MightyOne]

BeyondSciFi, I'm right with you - it takes one simple look at the charts iterations posted in the other threads. While it does scale quite well, even for Conroe the sPi times/clockspeed curve flattens out at the end and the return you get for increasing clockspeeds is thus diminishing.

And while 5+GHz might be possible in the not-too-distant future, it probably won't come easily. I can't see very many OC'ers getting there, as it will require lots of time and effort (not to mention the money! ).

[Winterwind]

Coolaler stop kidding, do some Conroe XE runs, i know u got atleast one
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8979472
XE @ def + 7900GTX, 55k isint bad but do some LN2 runs

[freecableguy]

I honestly can't understand why some people continue to argue about a processor that they have absolutely no experience with. Please listen to me when I tell you, Conroe DOES 4Ghz on air. coolaler has already shown what the 2.66 ES chips will do. I can tell you, for fact, that the 2.93Ghz chips will go to 4Ghz on air. Have a little faith, guys.

[mursaat]

^^^ Countdown... nice!

We should put together a table with all the WR broken each day. Before Conroe WRs lasted for what? a month? a week? Now we have one each 2-3 hours

Good work coolaler

FUGGER's already at 197k

Can some1 stop that guy?

4Ghz on Air , cant wait for one

The curve flattens out because it is an inverse relationship. Going from 20 seconds to 10 seconds is a two times the speed. Going from 10 seconds to 5 seconds is then a two fold increase in speed. Going from 5 seconds to 2.5 seconds is then a two fold increase in speed. And so on.

This is why the curve levels out. If you took the time^-1 and graphed it in relation to the ghz clock, I'd imagine that the line would be near-linear.

[Mowgli]

lol? not another WR? haha.....gratz dude!!

The whole point I(and other experienced members) have been making is mainly from MOTHERBOARD LIMITATION. The diminishing return in performance is caused when the system is overclocked too hard, in many cases the motherboard is not being able to handle it well. The chipsets get hotter, memory subsystems get very stressed, the voltages fluctuation increases. Even for the CPU part, if it gets pushed too hard, it can cause similar effect. If the CPU has more headroom, the diminishing return wouldn't occur. But the MORE of problem they are having right now is the motherboard's limitation. Give these guys a little time. With more refined set of motherboard and better memory, you will see the superPi number comes down further. You don't have to keep jacking up the CPU mhz to get better numbers in SuperPi or any other benchmarks. FCG already is aware of it too. That's the point he was making also.

[stone_cold_Jimi]

Well that's lovely and all, but I still don't get it. Crow about an AMD dual core doing a SuperPi run with one core, everyone yawns and says do a dual run. But with the Intels it's ok? What are the dual SPi runs like?

[Ailleur]

...Those are dual core runs. check the cpuz shot, you can see the core drop down menu isnt grayed out. Not to mention an opteron doesnt get anywhere near 11s, in any configuration.

[Razor_Sniper]

He means run 2 instances of Super PI

[Suge Knight]

Always him, simply impressive

[uclajd]

If someone had said a year ago that Intel would be shipping a chip that XS members would be overclocking to flirt with 10.xx seconds 1M SuperPi on, wouldn't you all have said he was crazy?

The worst part is I don't think we have even begun to see what these things can do.

These Conroes will be awesome for SFF gaming rigs, especially with water cooling. No heating up the room like Pressies.

I hated the Athlon snobbery as much as the next guy, but this Conroe thing might be so bad for AMD that they go belly-up. This would not be good for anyone. Last thing we need is Intel sitting on its laurels again.

[IamAnoobieCheez]

Oh yes... I knew it..... 10 seconds is just a matter of time. 9's will definitely be reached with "more advanced" settings on a better mobo. Don't need more clocks. Good.. good...


I love your kat sig pic, uclajd

[mursaat]

Soon we'll be asking for the next WR of the hour

I wonder how these configurations do with air (not only those Conroe's 4ghz FCG knows, but also in the ATI's), or maybe water, as that's as far as I want to go (note to myself: yes, that's what you think now ).

[charlie]

I just modded the title to reflect 11.266@4.53ghz

[ZX7891]

i bet more will come too, if fcg thinks 4ghz on air then 4.3-4.4 on SS, ill pick one up

[Eliminator1]

very impressive...
he breaks his own record every day... will some1 offer him some competition?

[Zeus]

'leven seconds is frikkin evil!!'

10 seconds is just a matter of time (hours perhaps?)

[IvanAndreevich]

I think you'll get more from SS than just 3-400 MHz. I am sure we'll be looking at 5 GHz before long and closer to 5.5 GHz as some mature steppings appear. 10s might fall before this thing even makes it to retail.

These chips are awesome
