If you bought a mobo which doesn't let you alter the NB speed, for a chipset with an NB, and you planned on overclocking it, you need to do more research quite frankly...
yeah turns out if u dont have L3 u dont have NB freq]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310520 Sat, 11 Jun 2011 11:47:15 +0200 Reply by Cloud https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-3/?recent=310520#post=310472 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310472 Sat, 11 Jun 2011 02:39:35 +0200 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-3/?recent=310520#post=310449 Quoted from octochris
[...] northbridge frequency. it's important when overclocking. you are one of the people i meant when i said "people who are shit at overclocking and think it's all about fsb and multi" i guess! :p
well, i can do voltage adjusts aswell but if ur mobo supports things like individual bridge speed adjustements ill take the blame of beeing stupid n00b who doesnt spend hundreds of quid on sick mobos and cooling solutions to gain maybe few hundreds of mhz good topic now that we got rid of shrew btw, keep on going, maybe ill learn something new :]]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310449 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 23:21:54 +0200 Reply by Mr Mugabe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-3/?recent=310520#post=310420 Quoted from Le meme arrows
[...]I have same CPU and just got a question. Any idea why I can't get my NB frequency above 2400 even with 1.4 voltage?
Your ram speed is probably 2 high because you increased your NB freq. What kind of speed is your ram build for ?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310420 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:07:31 +0200 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-3/?recent=310520#post=310418 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310418 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 19:59:48 +0200 Reply by Mr Mugabe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-3/?recent=310520#post=310417 Quoted from AnimaL

all boards, chips and dies are different, sometimes to huge degrees. you probably just hit the point that putting in more voltage isn't going to make any difference.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310414 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 19:41:23 +0200 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-3/?recent=310520#post=310408 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310408 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:58:14 +0200 Reply by krap92 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-3/?recent=310520#post=310405 Quoted from octochris
those benchmarks test WHO IS BETTER AT RUNNING THE BENCHMARK. its the same as when people say to use glxgears as some sort of benchmark, it tests HOW WELL GLXGEARS RUNS, not anything else. so let's not suddenly jump to conclusions that it somehow is indicative of a better cpu. and xeon is such a common home processor, oh yes... i have my phenom ii 945 x4 running at 4.3GHz. people who think amd's are difficult to overclock are, in reality, just shit at overclocking and think it's all about fsb and cpu clock multi.

EDIT: that leaves the price... 2600 setup seems to be cheaper, so pick 2600.
This, plus you (I think) actually have an upgrade path on the same socket in the future]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310391 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:35:46 +0200 Reply by Mr Mugabe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-2/?recent=310520#post=310365 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310365 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:05:13 +0200 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-2/?recent=310520#post=310363 Quoted from Pyle
This socket is targeted towards the mainstream PC users.
Quoted from Pyle
However, the hexacore options for the Socket 1366 will overtake this socket any day when performing most tasks.
This seems a bit silly considering the price of hexacores :D]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17103&post=310363 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:52:17 +0200 Reply by Mr Mugabe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17103/page-2/?recent=310520#post=310360 Quoted from Spike Himself
How well does the i7 oc on 1155 (2600(K?)) as opposed to 1366 (930 D)? Considering going for a new setup for my already-way-too-expensive WC project and I shall not be satisfied with a clock below 4.2ghz.
Pros of the Socket 1155: Best price to performance ratio Integrated graphics option (H Series Chipset) Most efficient use of cores New socket that will last for a while Supports modern video cards and technologies (and will for some time) Cons of the Socket 1155: Motherboards are steadily increasing in price ever since the recall Low Motherboard availability Overwhelming amount of Chipset Options No hexacore options Less PCIe capabilities than the x58 (socket 1366) Dual Channel Memory Pros of Socket 1366: Fastest Available Socket to date Only Hexacore (6 core) platform Supports more lanes of PCIe bandwidth / PCIe cards Tri-Channel Memory Cons of Socket 1366: Will be phased out at the end of the year Expensive price tag that makes this purchase a lot harder to justify with the advent of 1155 Socket 1366 versus 1155 Intel recently released their new Sandybridge Processors earlier this year. This socket was 1155. These new processors actually store the video card controller in the CPU and give extreme performance/over clock abilities. The new motherboards for this socket have just rolled out, as their was a recall on them several weeks ago. This socket is targeted towards the mainstream PC users. You will find that it can play games, and will even perform well in rendering, video editing, etc. The performance gap between this socket and 1366 decreases exponentially if you are able to buy a K series 1155 socket processor and overclock it. This socket is the most powerful in terms of efficiency per core. However, the hexacore options for the Socket 1366 will overtake this socket any day when performing most tasks.
