Xeon W3550 Quick Test Drive , first touch.Pi 1M , Pifast , cpu-z

[chispy]

I played with my new Xeon W3550 today for the first time sub-sero on LN2, looks like a promising ship , cold bug @ -112c cold boot bug @ -102c , the chip likes cold and scale very well with voltages . This was a very quick LN2 session to see the potential of the chip , i got it to post above 5400 but could not save validations , at 5300 cpuz bugs out too and keep giving me an error when trying to validate . So i will post little tiny results for my first imppresions with this new chip. After about an hour i bugged out the board and would not post ,only FF , so i have to let her dry overnite.
1- Likes cold
2- Scale very well with voltages
3. 24 multi its useless
4- Strong imc
5- Needs more rigorous testing under LN2 to find the sweet spot.

Test set up:
-----------

eVGA Classified 760
Xeon W3550
Corsair DominatorGT DDR3-2000 cas7 3 x2GB
WD Sata 160Gb
8600GT
PC Power & Cooling 1200
Kingpin F1ee cpu pot @ -95C on LN2

Not bad for a one hour test session , testing the Xeon W3550 and Classi for the first time , i need to learn the board and the chip to max out it out. More testing to come for sure.

** lol i forgot i was using cas6 when trying for validation next time will do with looser timings **

Nice going for sure Angelo. Spend some more time in BIOS and im sure you can get 5300-5400 stable out of her. Great job bro! p:D

great job

Tx guys i realize i was using cas6 all the time even for validation lol :parghh:, hence why it was holding me back. I hope for at least a 5.2Ghz 3D stable chip:up:.
