Post your Xeon Quad and Xeon Dual core overclocking results here

So far my Xeon 3210 Quad is at 8x470 or 3.704ghz at 1.424v. This is much lower voltage than my Q6600 GO Quad and a much higher FSB I could not break 450 using a 8x multipler stable 24/7. I could bench but not run it 24/7 unless I used a 9x multipler, and at this voltage I could only run at 3.520ghz .

2x L5310@2.3GHz. Will increase when Seaburg is available in stores. They are released and can be bought, no stock to be found in .eu though. Probably in a month or so.

Any recommendations on a (smallish) mainboard for running 2 x Xeons for 8-core :). PCIx16 needed of course :)

This chip is unreal does 3.2ghz at 1.168v 8x 400



I was right 3.312ghz at 1.168v 8x414fsb on some of the lowest voltage I've seen, approaching a 1300mghz overclock.

Can you do a super pi test please!!

I would love to see what a Xeon at 3.7 does on it. :toast:

Looks nice! See this is what Dan and I have been telling some of you guys...

Xeon FTW!

I had 4.0ghz out of my Xeon 3070 @ 1.45

Okay the max i can bench at

Can you do a super pi test please!!

As you can see I cranked the voltage to get her to max benching speed ( about 1700mghz oced) going from 3.76 to 3.88ghz takes a bunch of voltage part of the problem is this motherboards bios is wacked and my new board is comming so take all this with a grain of salt . Still thats a very high FSB for a quad. It will boot at 3.9ghz but only completes half the bench.

Pretty impressive. Is the voltage accurate in CPUZ?
Looks like they are a bit similar to the normal Quads voltage wise.
To get past 3.7/3.8 they need a big voltage boost.

your forgetting this is with a 8 multipler not a 9 like the Q6600 has. With a Q6600 you would be lucky to break 460fsb

here is stock to compare it with

my Q6600 couldn't do this at this voltage or fsb for that matter

but maybe I had a bad one you be the judge

Here is super PI at a very low voltage my q6600 could match this either

but maybe I had a bad one you be the judge


at this voltage

Thanks for the benchmarks! I was actually debating whether to go with X3210 or a Q6600, the Xeon is cheaper by $30. I think I will go with the Xeon.

Now if you go across to the superPi thread and look what times a C2D dual or quad is getting at just under 3.9Gig......what will you find in comparison to this chips time? I only ask because I am too old and too lazy to look myself!

Damn....just checked meself, very little difference :toast: perhaps the Desktop CPU is a little quicker but marginal and that could be down to ram speed etc........very nice indeed TRT!!

From what I can see, the x3210 is the best bet, whenever I look at these chips though I see some showing as G0 stepping but they have a TDP of 100W where as in desktop terms the G0 is 95W and the B3 stepping is 105W.....wtf?

I'd get one but I just bought Paulieg's Q6600.
Maybe when I make a server for LANs and stuff..

It's funny how people think a server requires a Xeon/Opteron and a desktop requires a Core2/Athlon. The Xeon won't do any better or worse. The only thing that matters in this case is the platform it's running on. As long as you're using desktop chipsets it matters little. Once you use server chipsets the desktop chips aren't even an option anymore.

Besides, what will you serve on a LAN that requires more than a desktop chip?

The only difference is server cpus (xeon) can take more heat and more voltage and are more stable in general, and give higher overclocks. If you're somebody like me who runs F@H 24/7 a server chip would deffo be in order for the extra marginal amount of money.

I'm glad that they provide server chips for the common desktop socket. Nobody building a home rig would want to spend the extra $500 it would take to make it a server class computer. Both AMD and Intel did this, I guess they saw some success with it early on, I don't know, but it's great that server chips are available for desktop class motherboards. No fiddling with special expensive ram, no special expensive motherboards...

um hello in the world of bragging rights theirs nothing better than saying ya.;.im hosting ut3 on the server *points at tan box on table* o thats cool whats running it? a 4Ghz Xeon.


but at anyrate i think im going o stop buying brand line stuff....i think im going to go into the server feild again..opterons and xeons are what im after now.

I doubt the difference in thermal specs are really based on anything. Xeon runs on a lower stock voltage so might have some more space. The Xeon has a slightly higher TDP even with a lower voltage??? I/Oat: http://www.intel.com/technology/ioacceleration/index.htm

Slight differences, I doubt the steppings are the same though. ie G0 might not be the same on both chips. They might have skipped steppings on one model. In short, I doubt there is a noticeable difference. Vcore helps though.

o and incase you guys have some multithreaded or F@H questions theirs no one better to ask than Danthebanjoman...if im not correct for those who done understand his specs he's running 2 quad core processors OC'd quite impressive actually seeing as i think stock on those is 1.6ghz am i not right dan?
