Beware The Robots

desire to be familiar with if Xeon X3440 is compatible with mainstream LGA 1156 motherboard or not. The CPU price seems a negotiate for me. The merely thing worries is the motherboard. Be able to I work the CPU on mainstream LGA 1156 similar to ASUS P7P55D, eVGA P55/P55 LE/ Micro, MSI P55-G55/G65 or additional motherboards on comparable price range. This is a great motherboard for its price, it is a diminutive cramped up by the mem/mosfets/first pci-e card, took a number of work to get my xigmatek to mount right, but it is the entire superior.

OverClocking: P55 Asrock Extreme + Xeon X3440 + Dark Knight

Re: OverClocking: P55 Asrock Extreme + Xeon X3440 + Dark Knight
I am presently setting at 3.6 ghz @ 1.30 volts, I am going to endeavor tomorrow to get the volts down, origin it was unknown to me, in anticipation of subsequent to a few hours of wanting to bash in my system, than Intel burn test 2.3 has a bug in it when it comes to 4-8 threads selected, so utilize linpack and ran 20 passes and it the entire passed. I determine to play approximately with the OC a number of additional, so far, it seems similar to it is a fantastic chip and MOBO.

For bring up to date the bios when you get it , for a number of reason, windows would observe the entire 4 gigs, so would cpu-z, bios would observe the entire 4 gigs, but merely permit 2.5 gigs easy to get to, bios bring up to date and took care of it. In advance menu, under storage, put out of action hot plug and the power saver characteristic under the sata controller, or it would not let you boot from cd-rom. But additional than that, the over clock is going actually well, I started in excess of and presently at 3.4 ghz , I think I determine to necessitate to reseat my heat sink or get a second fan for it, to create it a push/pull setup, similar to its older brother the i7 1366, this thing is a little oven.

Re: OverClocking: P55 Asrock Extreme + Xeon X3440 + Dark Knight
It's a 2.53 ghz CPU, with hyper threading, and it is similar to $60 dollars cheaper than the i7 860. It uses the 1156 socket, and sustains and maintains 32 gigs of ram vs the 16, but the board merely supports 16 gigs, oh well. Its priced well for having HT and individual a innovative lynnfield, so if you desire HT and a cheaper CPU I would say go with this one in excess of the I7 860 or the i5 750.

Re: OverClocking: P55 Asrock Extreme + Xeon X3440 + Dark Knight
Seriously yes, I might not figure out what you meant by it LOL, at present that you have explained it, and thank you, it makes just right sense HT is actually Sorta POINTLESS ant it. It raises the heat, lowers my gflops rating LOL, and reasons me to work mad amounts of voltage I am going to shut it off for at present and try to hit a max steady over clock I have a superior 3.53 ghz profile that I be able to utilize that has HT facilitated if I ever necessitate it. Now it category a makes me feel similar to a fool, the merely reason I purchased this CPU in excess of the 750 was this one had HT but oh well, it seems similar to a superior CPU.

Re: OverClocking: P55 Asrock Extreme + Xeon X3440 + Dark Knight
I was capable to get it to linx stable for 25 passes at 4.0 GHz with HT facilitated. But the temps were extremely high, 80c to 85c. I have settled on 3.5ghz with HT facilitated, temps are holding at regarding 67 c, I determine to shift it up to 4 ghz or higher just the once I get a superior cooling explanation here are my settings for 3.5 ghz with HT:bcclk: 175 cpu portion: Turbo(20x) pcie: 100 CPU voltages: 1.242 in windows (in bios 1.275 without vdrop enabled). dram: 1.601 volts (stock, ram is at 702mhz with a 2:8 divider, 7-7-7-18 timings) vtt: 1.219 pch: 1.079 cpu pll: 1.812 (this is the lowest setting and it knocked off regarding 8c from my temps by turning it to its lowest and it is steady at this voltages even at 4ghz). If you guys imagine 80c to 85 c is alright temp for this CPU, let me know previous to I go dish out a a small number of additional hundred on water.

The 4.3 is tranquil attractive impressive. You be able to say you have to read somewhere that on top of 210 is attractive hard to accomplish. And you are guessing that 21 multi is moreover turbo on one core or be able to be facilitated by disabling speed step and exist. Update bios, that are what let you go from a maximum of 20x multi to a maximum of 21. You do not know much regarding your mobo but is bios version or description most recent 21 multi maintain for first i7's came with bios updates.
