sorto f wrong thread, but I think his point is he just got phase change, a 295, and a xeon for 1875$. That is a baller ass deal.

ya both wrong...this is the right thread....
get it colder....

let me get that xeon oc333
the one off your other board. haha

Got confused, nice deal!

no worries...we are a bit more...how you say....all over the boards in this thread. because it really comes back to how cold your computer is to run at the speed your looking for.  :)

definitely gonna have to call BS on those specs.. 5.22 ghz and 2000mhz ram?  that memory controller would be annihilated in no time at all

also check out the hwbot compare on this chip:
http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/xeon_w5580?tab=hall%20of%20fame

he would have the bot record for fastest speed by 300mhz!!



none the less all that hardware for that price is a sweet deal

didn't see them on hwbot either...and i looked also...lol

If you look closer at the record there at hw you'll see that it is with 4 5580's and not 1. Harder to clock 4 chips than it is for 1 chip.

if you look closely you will see that it is a single W5580  (CPU-z verification shows 4 cores 8 threads, motherboard was a EVGA classified)

Time to look harder at verification links?

My cheap @$$ bench rig currently i am working on.
DFI UT P35 T2R
2x1gb 1066 Dominators
Pentium D 915 and P4 660
ATI x600xt
Antec 550w psu

Pd 915 @ 4700mhz: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=864829
Temps were/are 31*C idle, 37*C benching 2D (superpi, wprime, etc.)

I have some benches that i just need to upload to photobucket, then i can post them... Ugh, i can't wait to do DICE!

I can't seem to get it stable over 4.7 though. Any ideas? I increased the vcore 2 notches for 4.8 and it gets through the XP loading screen, but when it says "welcome" and is loading, it BSODs out...
