The Intel Penryn (45nm) Information and Discussion Thread

[Fierceleaf]

Here's where I'm at so far, not very impressed with the amount of voltage Ive had to pump through this thing to get it stable past 4.0. 4300 is the farthest Ive got it boot but wasn't able to test anything before it crashed.
(Edit and sorry for the large pictures, It wont let me post attachments, keep getting database errors)

If anyone has any tips I'm open to suggestions:

Heres 3dmark benchmarks links: http://www.overclock.net/3285762-post653.html

Motherboard settings:
4000mhz
Vcore- 1.43windows, 1.45 bios
CPUPLL -1.6
NB- 1.51
DRAM-2.1
FSBT- 1.56
SB- auto
Loadline- enabled



4100
Vcore- 1.46 windows 1.468 bios



4200
Vcore- 1.510
Not stable at all.
4300 crash after boot into windows.

I finally found enough spare time to do some stress testing, only 1 hour Orthos but good enough for me. As you can see it's loading at 69 to 70C in CPU stress test, but in any practical application it's max temp is around 56 to 62C. (COD4 6 hours straight at 55C)

Will do some more detailed bench after I find some time to lap my Ultra 120X and apply some TuniqTX2 using the right method.

(Had to take the first screen right after SuperPI finished before multi droped to 6x on idle.)

Fierceleaf and iewgnem. Updated. It should show up soon. Imageshack service seems slow this morning. Thanks the information.

LuckyX2 and GigaByte324. I had added link of your thread under this main thread. Members can view and post information on your thread if you choose to do so. Let me know if you have better suggestions.

LuckyX2 also has a 45nm OC thread.
GigaByte324 also has a Intel Core 2 Quad (45nm) Information Thread.

Man, these chips seem really amazing....
