it would be wouldn't it considering Penryn will work with it

FSB - 1333/1066/800MHz

Yes, they will be supported on the 680i chipset

**p8ntslinger676** · 05-31-2007, 01:06 AM

didnt we already go over this once? i thought we did and came to the same conclusion

**malik22** · 05-31-2007, 02:40 AM

so the 1333 support on the current 650sli and 680sli is meant for those cpu released on july 22?

**Mr.X** · 05-31-2007, 03:31 AM

So, Is 680i the only board that is supposed to support Penryn? What about those with x975 chipsets? I don't want to replace my P5W DH just yet.....

**expreview** · 05-31-2007, 03:50 AM

so,just need update the BIOS to support penryn?

any VRM Mod??

**Kabauterman** · 05-31-2007, 03:53 AM

FSB 1333Mhz is unofficialy supported on 680i mobo

that is

, 680i Supports 1333 FSB officaly and was the first Chipset wich support it officaly.

My question in Penryn on 680i is the FSB, some 680i Board can't go to 1333 with Quadcores and 45nm QC will be the same too.
So 680i with 45nm QC is nothing for OC like nforce500 for Core 2 Duo.

**Anemone** · 05-31-2007, 04:05 AM

Yes also curious if it runs on 975's too. I guess a mobo upgrade isn't out of the question but it might be nice to put that off but still get a Penryn

P35 and X38 motherboards support Penryn too.
x975 chipset can support Penryn, but your P5W DH won't.

Edit:
What is what?:
Wolfdale = desktop dual core?
YorkField = desktop quad core?

Penryn= server?

even QX CPUs are sorting averaging around 3.3-3.4GHz on 24/7 systems....due to the heat output....

but if you stick it under DICE or LN2 you'd probably be safer with P35 boards unless there will be another revision which supports even higher quad OCs....

This is very promising, well........I can only hope :-p.

Yes that would be nice, but we know better than to ask since the people that have them here likely didn't find them on eBay (thus NDA'd).

I have noticed that Penryn ES chips are not available through other channels, and unless I'm mistaken, the Conroe ES chips were here a bit earlier in the year. So whereas Conroe was released around July 27th, I would expect Penryn to be Oct/Nov timeframe. I still have my money on Intel getting to retail before AMD with Barcelona/Agena, but earlier in the year I would have expected Penryn retail chips by July/August. Oh well.

I'll keep waiting for that awesome day when I come to the forums and there's a topic in the Intel forum titled "Penryn ES first benches!" or something.

you sound excited

heh

it will be a good addition for sure.....from some hints heheheh

but that could be from extra cache they have donno

the most important info will be OC capability but we have to be patient as i don't think there will be too many people talking about results just yet

i wounder if my jinu117 phase unit will be able to hold a penryn

i sure hope so

You say that x975 can support Penryn, yet my P5W DH won't? Why is that? Last time I checked it had a x975 chipset. Does is it have to do with voltage or something?

**Mr.X** · 05-31-2007, 08:20 AM

Maybe we can expect some ''unofficial'' support then?

...besides e6850.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?p=2218206

The e6850 is a 1333fsb conroe rather than penryn.

I would expect the 45nm chips to be a part of a new chip series rather than using the ?6??0 of the 65nm parts, otherwise your not left with any room to ramp up the clocks.

FLG_Poncho - you probably know the answer to this (and hopefully aren't under NDA for this SPECIFIC question).

Is macro-Ops Fusion enabled for 64-bit in the Penryn series?

This was one of the significant drawbacks for Conroe/Kentsfield. When you went from 32 to 64-bit code there was a decent drop in performance b/c this wasn't available.

TIA

**dejavuxx** · 05-31-2007, 12:01 PM

This just doesn't get any better umm, lets see G92, Yorkfield on 680i & Crysis
all in time for the jolly ol' red suit i think i'll probably have all the bells and whistles i want for my ultimate rig!!!

**Frank M** · 05-31-2007, 12:17 PM

This thread has more rumour and speculation every minute, it would make Fud
envious

So now, it looks like it will run on the 680; we also know it will run on the P35
and the X38; furthermore, initial testing was done on a modified 975.

Are 965 and 975 (and 650) capable of running them, or do they require vrm
mods? How hard are these mods?
Could someone please clear this up?
Thx.
