Strong retail Clarkbar :)

Back from vacation, and I just had my first benching session last night...feels good :cool:

Retail CPU at -145C or below, on a P55A-UD7

When I first tested this CPU on the UD3R, I had cold bug at about -164C. First test on the UD7 proved to be about the same. On the final run I was running full pot and found zero CB :up:...the only thing that changed was an update to F4 BIOS :shrug: CBB at -120 to -135C depending on Vcore

CPU clocks are strong, but this thing has to have the weakest DMI bus on the planet, any setting over x12 fails to post :mad:
update - figured out my DMI problems, see the updates :up:

First Run (latter scores were better):

Nicely done miah, 6.7GHz retail chip is definitely something :yepp: :up:

Do you think that there's room for improvement ?

nice start miahallen and nice chip too, congrats bro ;)

Nice job Miah, esp considering the qpi bottleneck :toast:

very nice work Mia:up:

looks like you have the opposite of me! Mine maxes 6.35ghz for spi1m but 5.1qpi

Im jealous!

Thanks guys....if I can get the top secret BIOS with special sauce from hicookie...there may be some room for improvement...but unless I can figure out how to get this darn DMI running faster, the improvement will be minimal :(

6.7GHz retail chip thats good

Nice clocks mia i hope you can get better qpi as then some nice scores will be on the cards;):cool:

very nice congrats :)

Thanks guys :toast:

I had 4L left over from the other night....just enough to figure out my DMI problems :)

what did you change, nice work!

the multi :p:

I was reading elsewhere hicookie saying that the chips are finicky and only like some multies....he was right :rolleyes:

Glad you got over that problem miah! Now let's see this chip fly sky-high :up:

Got it :D Will try again next week :up:

Nice mate.... Some problems with CB because higher QPI?
But nice improvements :up:

No, actually...CBB got better :), I cold booted down to -150C no problem...my first session forced me to boot at -120C or warmer :shrug:

nice runs mia and good retail chip :up:

Thanks hiwa...now if I could only get access to the ES chips you guys play with........:shakes:
