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:

That 32M run is highest retail Clarkdale according to the bot :up:

i play retail too :D all my 3ds done with retail chip :up:

good to see it can do high QPI also :D was it related to cold or how could you sort it out?
btw 6.500s flat low clock challenge anyone?! :D (done on MIIIF)

Saw that before...nice eff :p:

My SPI eff has never been great :(

Glad to see you got it sorted waiting for scores:up:

with a bit higher bclk I am sure you will match me :D win xp sp3 or server one?

XP SP3...I'll do my best ;)

This is awesome, would be sad if Clarkbar benching was an ES only battle:up:

Let's hope there are good GT's as well not too long after launch!:)

Thanks m8......I'll be testing at least one ;)

Nice job Mia!

holy crap Mia
sick retail CPU....looks like UD7 is treating you well...thats good ;)

:up:

Thanks mate :toast:

How did the runs go the other night?

Not great....but I've gotta hold the results for now :(
This OCing was done for GOOC Japan country qualifier, and I don't wanna play my cards too early ;)

Miah
Awesome results, I hope to see you put that beast to the boiling point, fry it as if its an egg!!!

However; Dude, please refrain from that "clarkbar", its some :banana::banana::banana:gy expression from Canada... :-/
Clarkdale....

I know where the expression came from....did you read the article? :up:

First post updated with best scores and max bclock #s :)

Nice scores Miah what was the secret to higher qpi? Some testing on ss for my 530 then ln2 if she shows any promise:up: Nice scores though well done:)

No secret...just needed to put in more time and figure out which multies it likes :up:

hehe 6.500s flat there it is :D :D :D

Yeah....you're right there with me buddy :p:

Now, if I could just match your eff :rolleyes: :D

Damn brah that's a killer setup. You got her smokin...

Thanks Mark...I learned from the best :up:

I've tested a retail clarkdale as well ... doesn't look that bad: 6670MHz 1M ~ 6.7G should be doable as well.

Efficiency is super-crap, though. I was running with CPU-Z windows open :p:

Yeah, your eff is way off :p:...I was running with CPU-Z windows open too. I always do cause I hate crashing while trying to open CPU-Z after a sweet run :rolleyes:.
Nice chip MM :up:

wohoo i need those retail chips. greet score but as you said not such a great eff. But nice. Gratz MM
