FYI - 25L of LN2 only lasts about 6 hours on a 6 core Gulftown CPU :D

I got REALLY LUCKY! My CPU has no cold bug, and I was cold booting at a very low -155C :up:

Here are the results of my first touch with this chip....

Nice job miahallen.
What was your max Pi 1m ? ( if you tried any, I assume you did :p: )

Another high cold bug retail but no clocks ( no offense meant miahallen, I'm just talking in general, I'm so fed up with the clocking of the retail 980X's :@ ).

Nope...no 2D stuff....I'll probably work on it a bit later, but really that's what my Clarkdale is for...this one I got for 3Ds ;)


Nice job Miah. My 980x is the same batch :)
Nice....love you PCMark Vantage result :up:
For those of you that don't know, Jake recently took the PCMark Vantage WR...check it out here:

How does your chip handle cold Jake?

Good job, specially with the high Uncore. :up:

Is this a good chip or you had to tweak it up? in case, what (besides higher VVT) has helped stabilizing the Uncore at those speeds?

DIdn't do anything special...these runs all had relatively low VTT...I think there's plenty unclore left to be explored. This session was too quick. I'll be pushing SPI32M later for Japan GOOC qualifier. So those results will not be published for a while. ;)

I might throw a teaser or two in here though :D

Hey guys...thanks to everyone who stopped by to check out my first livestream benching session. I had a blast! :toast:

I had two main goals today...3D05 and 06. My results earlier got blocked at the bot becasue I forgot to get an ORB validation file (and they were in the top 20)...so I reran both benches, and I'm happy to report my scores improved :up:

Why is the memory speed so low? Also try 1.7-1.75v see how the chip scales.
