Is that a pre-production model? Says "Intel confidential." Of course they might just put that on CPUs and I haven't noticed.

Those are ES chips and property of Intel. Their sale is prohibited since Intel only lends them to reviewers and OEMs but you can always find some for sale on eBay, usually at discounted prices.

Looked it up and new that thing would sell for $2.5k new. Heck, I'd buy it.

Also, don't they have unlocked multis, or did they stop doing that?

I think some server boards give you a little wiggle room with setting the base clock frequency but I don't think you can do much with it. EVGA has the SRX board which is 2011 compatible but not 2011v3.

I'm seriously considering a pair of those chips but the guy selling them tested them in a single socket board. Most of the vendors on ebay test dual socket chips in a dual socket board so I have some reservations. Also I'm expecting the prices to drop even more as the EX chips become available.

We're doing a great job Team and have a solid 2nd place with SNURK and friends/Mr Kermit continuing to lead the challenge. :respect:

Great job Team- WCG wins with every point generated! :toast:

fyi, I'm going to be gone most of the weekend - at least that's the plan. So I won't be able to ship anything until monday or tues. That's assuming the weather cooperates. NJ got a bit of a dump yesterday.

15th Warlock · Mar 6, 2015

One more day to go! Let's give one final push!

Got 4 of my rigs running at 4.7GHz, which I consider the absolute safe limit for 24/7 operation at 100% load! The only one PC running at factory spec is my laptop for obvious reasons, but everything else is running balls to the wall :rockout:

Come on guys we are on the final leg of our journey!

theonedub · Mar 6, 2015

We already won, right?

MxPhenom 216 · Mar 6, 2015

Someone mentioned they like to drop in random challenges just to troll?
If so, successful troll is successful.

It's the best type of troll, something good actually benefits.

This is true. Those TPU guys keep winning things anyways. It's nice to see someone put them in their place.

Damned impressive - regardless of why they do it. :toast:

Yep and we are in the last day of the challenge. Lets kick some booty! :respect:

bubbleawsome · Mar 6, 2015

It being the last day I took my CPU as far as I feel safe taking it on AVX loads. Wattage jumped up 50%, but I'm hoping the 16% overclock makes up for it.

If I hit a heavy WU I could see 135w and 1.315v, but I think it'll hit the power limit I set for it first.

I newer noticed that there were any difference in wattage between the different WUs but then again I only used my watt-reader on my 8-12 thread rigs and they always have a mix. Which is the worst?

bubbleawsome · Mar 6, 2015

It seems the clean energy project hits my cores harder. I have one running mostly on core 1 and it is hitting 4 degrees higher and the vcore went up by 0.014. I thought they used AVX though.
They also take a lot longer to complete, this one I doubt will finish before the day is over.

The CEP2 project is the heaviest one atm... my old Phenom II rigs used to throw errors like crazy on those if the overclock was set too high :shadedshu:

This project has been tweaked a few times by the researchers so it runs much better than it used to :cool:

No Actually I left the room's window wide open the night before last, it got down to -32c . Cracked the radiator seam but didn't see that till late last night.

Got a spare Rad in now and thank god there wasn't any other leaks. My indoor temp gauge was reading -22c :twitch:
