Yep - stock speed is 1066Mhz for those "doms", MTM. Good stuff; have some myself.

Thanks for the sig. Nice system you've got there!

MTM, will be great to have you on one of the FW teams. As CC said, very nice system. The X38 chipset and the Penryn greatly simplify overclocking. The fact you have an unlocked multiplier also makes a huge difference.

While your running benches, I would suggest beginning with a lower multi like 9 or 10 and raising FSB speed 5 clicks at a time. My experience was that this yields the best results with the QX9650 (i.e., lower multi, higher FSB). Run two or three different benchmarks at each 10 or 20 MHz increase in FSB. You will find that at a certain point, SuperPi may run fine, but 3DMark06 crashes. Or that you can run 3DMark06, but not 3DMark05 without crashing.

This will give you a feel for how stability is impacted -- in what way, at what point, and how it varies depending on particular benchmark run. When you have a general feel for the board and the processor (you may already), then you can raise the multiplier up to around 13 and focus on getting high scores in -*test*-('")s like SuperPi, where everyone runs on the precipice of instability to get the edge.

MTM..You're good enough to go in the A team with that rig dude...

Welcome to the team MTM. I'll PM the password. Things will start heating up next week.

Thanks all!

I will get the missing benchmarks in the next few days and post the results.

Great to have you on the team, MTM.

Please use the FWs2008 closed discussion thread for talk and bench posting once you get the password. We don't want to give any secrets away.

I second that.

Will do
