Nice of you to hook up that kid

Seems like a very nice sweetspot for Clockspeed and vcore! Nice.

Why get that RAM? Go for the Samsung magic stix (OOS for now): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147094

Awesome, thanks!!!

the 3670k is on sale at tigerdirect for $75

Mad Pistol can you try overclocking with K10stat?

lol

Wow pretty cool

This. So sad. OEMs like to make their Intel-based systems higher priced with various screen sizes while their Llano-based systems are usually only 15.6" and 17.3".

I have two sets of Ecos too. Could you please tell me your settings? (Mem timings, voltages used)

My A6-3650 with M4 60GB SSD, Seagate 1.5TB HDD, Samsung 1.5TB HDD and 520w Antec Neo PSU idles at 39w
and uses around 75w using XBMC and 120w during gaming. Thats decent power consumption for me....

I flashed through live-flash, MSI website said you can't update through BIOS file, which is weird.

wow that sucks im gonna return these to frys then lol

If they are cheating the timers then how am I able to hit almost 5 points in Cinebench?

Yes 120 BCLK is fine with lab burst disabled. tRCD 8 doesn't post because I'm using Ecos, and the tRCD is usually higher by 1.

If I use online flash-based stopwatch the time is just about correct. If I use phone's stopwatch it's off by ~7 sec (but the phone stopwatch is really fast, tested both iPhone4 and Samsung Captivate).

I tried lower multi and raising BCLK but it doesn't post. It's BCLK limited. I need lab burst to clock over ~120s BCLK.

No, it won't let me reach higher clocks without lab burst enabled.

I think my board is maxed out at 161 HTT. What I've discovered so far is that I'm able to hit 3.7GHz using the iGPU (I'll have to keep playing around to see if I can hit higher) and 4.18GHz using...

IB won't really clock higher; it should theoretically just consume less power.

Dave, do you have power consumption #s @ 5.1GHz with that vcore?

I agree with FlanK3r. I'll think I'll go ahead and get a BD just to test myself, especially when bumping up the NB. I might just wait for the next revision though, much like C2 to C3 was a great...

I agree with imamage. Why use FX-branding? Black Edition processors were fine by themselves. I was about to pull the trigger on an AM3+ mobo + BD combo on 10/12, but AMD has disappointed me. Why even...

Why does the task manager not show 100% utilization?
