First place run for now, won't last long I needed a lot of cpu power to top the first place result with ddrIII

These will probably be long time standing unless I can get the hwbot to amend the rules for 720's, theres back ups as well ;)

Seems you got a fully working Quad-core with a core disabled gz:clap:

Did you use Dryice for this? Ln2 should gain you quite a few more megahurtz :P

Nah the chip has "issues" only way it will work is if you set volts way up and enable acc at the same time, enabling acc refuses to post.....I preety much had to screw around the whole time for every single bench, no one setting does all type deal.

Still benching now in x3 mode, dry ice needs to run out, been at this since 5pm....3:41am now......

Congrats chew! nice results :up:
How do you like the board compared to M3A79T-Dlx and M4A79T-Dlx?

honestly it sucks, voltage is all over the place very inconsistent board, needs volt modding for any real serious benching.
Ram clocking is decent though and no coldboot issues.

Next weekend bartx, this pot needs more tuning, as you can see under load temps aren't that great. Hopefuly my revision 3 will address this DI pots shortcomings.

I was unable to get ACC to unlock the 4th core on my X3 720BE when using the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe (DDR3), I have not tried the M4A79 Deluxe (DDR2) I assumed the ASUS boards did not have the X3 Flaw Exploit.

What did you do to unlock the 4th core?

Congratz, those are some crazy clocks for an unlocked X3 on DI!

Needs a modded bios v2 v3, btw I made a post at tom's supporting your post...imho wprime with 4cores/threads is lame.

I however am not going to stand by and let some guy smoke me on air at 1000mhz less clock when i'm on DI....I will delete the results if HWbot comes to a solution, its already been brought to there attention.

PM me for bios for the ddr III board. I will warn you its preety buggy.

X3 720 BE is a bang for the buck, isn`t it? :D
I noticed your backup-strategy when I posted my 32M some days ago, but I had no chance to strike back @ air... :(

Yah thats how I do it, always have backups of everything, very nice run though.

Yah i know what the consencus is, the admins are discussing it in private now from what i hear. My result was only a retalliation to someone elses.

If you can convince your team mate to delete his 4core/thread wprime scores I will delete mine....

Backups are useless the second you admit you have them...;)

Luck of the draw, and preety much older buggy bios's......not to mention they are a pain to get stable @ high speeds.
