Hi all, I know this is a long shot but I'm looking for the ASUS CT-479 adapter for my retro build. The CT-479 adapter allows you to run Pentium M processors on some socket 478 motherboards. These things are rare, however, if anyone has one and is willing to sell - let me know. Thank you!

I really thought I had added GTA V settings, thanks for it pointing out, going to add them to my post. I benched GTA V at 1680x1050 / No AA / and the rest pretty much maxed out, I'll specify the settings a bit later. When I have more free time I might do a similar test with more games as well as...

Check out my little test I did not too long ago. I know it's just a few applications, but still :)

Sounds like you need a high TDP mode. You can read up more here: ASUS P6T Deluxe Crossflash to ASUS P6T WS PRO | Geek's Corner

Yeah, adding a secondary fan on my 212+ for push/pull did not yield any drop in temperatures, either.

OP, could you disable HT on the 6700K and redo the test? This would make a more interesting almost 'apples-to-apples' comparison.

I'm not really sure whether it's really worth sacrificing full stability for a few extra Mhz. What if it crashes when you need it the least. That being said, you guys make me want to push my X5670 over the current 4.2Ghz mark, even though the performance benefit would be slim to non-existant. :D

I'm using Cooler Master Hyper 212+ to cool my X5670 @ 4.2GHz. Vcore fluctuates between 1.288 and 1.304 volts and the temps don't go above 65C on the hottest cores while doing some serious video rendering.

Sounds like you've got yourself a pretty good overclocker. My i7 870 needed ~1.33v for a stable 4GHz overclock.

Very interesting indeed. Intel is not going to like this.

My X5670 needs 1.29375v in BIOS to be rock-solid stable at 4.2GHz. You can push the vcore all the way 1.35v without degrading your Xeon as long as the temps are in check. That being said, 88 degrees is too high, my chip hits 80 degrees only if I do stability testing with LinX, otherwise it peaks...

With the latest BIOS your board can run any 32nm 6 core Westmere-EP Xeon processor, meaning, all X5600 series W3600 series processors are supported. The best "bang-for-buck" Xeon today is probably an X5675 3.06GHz, which can be had for around $100. The fastest processors out of the box would be...

Have you tried leaving the vcore on auto and then upping the BLCK?

I'd say it depends on whether it's early or late engineering sample. The further ago to the official launch date an ES CPU came out, the more likely it might not work right. If you look at the CPU review sites, they are usually provided with late ES CPUs.
