From benchmarking not cooperating, and not getting lots of time to do anything I had planned (work,school, other engagements that required my attention) I get a cracked radiator (thank god the radiator was outside the case and not inside) it was a very slow leak, and very small hole in the welding of the PA120.3, it has since been replaced, and I reinstalled it.

Now I ordered an X3350 (Q9450 equivalent Xeon part, which is actually just a branded Q9450, they are pretty much identical) now..... This chip is absolute rubbish, it will not clock over 440x8 no matter how much/little voltage and different settings I use, I spent 6 hours with this thing trying to get it to cooperate, from different BIOS's to clearing CMOS, it simply will not clock worth a damn. My Q6600 clocked higher, and was alot more cooperative.

I am going to try another bout with it and see how it does, if not I am tossing it and ordering new ones.

If anyone is in the market for a Q9450/X3350 Ive seen alot of nice 45nm coming out of MicroCenter, and Lagoom

=============

Pertinent info about the 45nm Quad I received.

Bought @ Newegg
FPO/BATCH # - L806A744
Pack Date - 4/3/08
VID - 1.125

I am not 100% sure its the Chip either, it could be the Motherboard, but highly unlikely since the board will do 490x8 with my Q6600 G0 on water. But I get this P.O.S X3350 and it wont even boot windows 450x8 at any voltage. I am trying to ascertain whether or not its BIOS related, or if its just a limitation of this particular chip.

These are pretty fun to play with, if this one would just cooperate.
you might be able to go higher, it depends a lot on the CPU, the chip may just go higher with more VCore.

however, as i've been seeing on the web that some thinks there will be some issues with Intel 45-nm chips degradation when using voltages too high,
some just don't seem to really care at all (well, it's your money, it's your call).

on my Q9300, as you can see, i can get quite a bit higher FSB, but right now i don't want to try this FSB with the default CPU multi,
since the CPU will most likely need quite a bit of more volts, and i'm still using the stock cooler.

466 CPU FSB.



472 CPU FSB, FSB +0.15V MCH +0.30V.

Hey ChaosMinionX, thanks for all the details. I'm gona try them out asap.

BTW, I had already tried flashing the bios to 0612 but I keep getting the error message: Rom size doesn't match existing bios size. But I'll find a fix for that.

@Pang - The X38/48 and P35 all have significant problems clocking the 45nm chips.... its a BIOS issue, the Asus Engineers are working on it as of today, a guy called them and spoke with the BIOS Engineers concerning this, a fix should be out by next week.

Pretty sure it was unless someone else was able to break it in the past 5 days since the results were posted.

i think that 6GHz Yorkfield overclock is amazing.

Everest Benchmark of Q9300 vs QX6700 (at the default clock frequency multipliers)


Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9300 (Yorkfield, 45-nm, 6MB L2 Cache, M1) 2.50GHz (333 x 7.5)
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9300 - SLAWE

Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor QX6700 (Kentsfield, 65-nm, 8MB L2 Cache, B3) 2.66GHz (266 x 10)
Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX6700 - SL9UL


Except for the Memory Latency test, the higher score means the better performance.

my Q9300 is with DDR2, DRAM : FSB = 1.60 : 1 (or Memory Multiplier 3.20x CPU FSB 333), the DDR2 memory timing was no tweak.



the QX6700 is also using a P35 board, but it's DDR3, DRAM : FSB = 2.00 : 1 (or Memory Multiplier 4.00x CPU FSB 266).


If i run the Q9300 with DDR3 and use the same 2.00 : 1 (or Memory Multiplier 4.00x CPU FSB 333),
then the memory would run at DDR3-1333, and i should get a better results (all around).

However, these benchmarks are synthetic, ie. the results show only the theoretical (maximum) performance of the system. In contrast to application tests, synthetic benchmarks do not tend to reflect the "real world" performance of the computer.
the benchmarks provide quick and easy comparison between computer states, e.g. when certain parameters (CPU clock speed, memory timings, etc) change in system configuration.
