Doah.... I'm sure the Electric bill will be crazy, but I added 4 more cores from a 6600 APU.

Everything I have running is AMD, but it is 20 cores... :p:
Hopefully, I can deal with a week of...

Hey OldChap,

I didn't even realize it was SC Week, much less the 10 Yr anniversary!
XS is my home. FWIW I added 16 cores of AMD goodness tonight...
It's the best I can do, hopefully it'll help!...

What little gem is that FlanK3r? :D

Voltages are kind of high, but those are some killer clocks for air cooling!
BTW, sorry to see you had problems with your AIO water, that sucks... :(
You...

FWIW, CB15 seems to depend much more on CPU Freq than it does on IMC/Mem clocks... ;)
A few Mhz on the core will normally result in better scores than trying to push IMC/Mem to the limit!
In fact,...

Hey FlanK3r,

Sadly, the AMD section is pretty dead nowadays... Sucks that they're not really competitive anymore, but "it is what it is".
I still enjoy tweaking them, and my 8370E is a nice chip!...

Sorry man... I DL'd PSCheck and wasn't patient enough to figure it out. :(
One program worked fine, but the other gave me problems... I also got a little impatient with the 8320E and re-installed...

This ^^^ ;)

If it's batch/week 1428 or higher it may have the same die revisions as the new E series chips (C0k)...

DISCLAIMER: I feel like I got lucky with both of my 83XX-E series chips, so YMMV... ;)
That being said, I bought both of these retail so they're NOT cherry picked samples!

I did one last push...

I've never really used "PSCheck". So, I'm unfamiliar with it.
I still haven't taken the 8320E out of the C5F yet, so if you can point me in the right direction to the latest version I'll be glad to...

Dude... That score is Mind blowing!!!
If you don't mind give us some info on the gear used... I didn't realize there was a mobo that allowed OC'ing of Opty cores... :cool:

I moved the 8320E to...

A friend from work asked me to set up a machine for his son. It's older gear and has the following specs:

Mobo: BioStar A780L (NB video)
CPU: Athlon dual core 3Ghz (unsure of model #, but I...

I've been using a Mem cooler over my VRM's for a couple years now tbone (you can see it in my avatar)... ;)
Your right, it does help pwr/nb temps quite a bit, as well as overall system stability!
...

Sorry for the double Post...

I worked with this 8320E a little more tonight on the C4F.
It was definitely throttling to some extent. I improved the score quite a bit by using your suggestion and...

Yeah, I thought it looked a little low too... I think it may still be throttling a little.
I'll tweak some more tonight, to see If I can get it straightened out. ;)

This weekend I'm definitely...

I didn't want to keep stepping on Flank3r's thread, but I have to admit. I'm pretty impressed with this chip... :D

So far I've been testing it on a 3 year old CH4F, and the results are...

Not sure if this will help or not Infra,

I picked up an 8320E today and tested it in the C4F. I didn't experience any of the problems you mentioned above...
Dual Channel memory worked fine and...

Prime Blend is really hard on these chips tbone. I started at those settings and had to bring it up close to 1.5v in order to get 30mins of Blend stability... :rolleyes: It probably would have ran...

Wow... That's really nice! :yepp:

It's hard for me to tell though, was that run P95 Blend, or Just FFT's?
The temps also look really low, was it done on ambient water?

Sweet chip...

Sup Flank3r... ;)

I just started working on my CB15 scores with the 8370E.
Nothing really impressive, but it still smokes my previous 9370 scores... :D
...

Not sure where your DL'ing the HWMonitor from Bro...
But you should get it from the source. ;)

Here's a link, just click the "Download Now" button....

I'd say, if you have the spare cash go for it Johan45...
I noticed you have a 9370 that was on par with mine. I always wanted to get it 5Ghz stable and never could. :(
The E version is a lot of...

eagle101: The non pro version also shows the NB temp. Keep in mind, this is the physical NB Chip on the motherboard...

If your concerned about the IMC (Integrated Memory Controller), that is not...

Sorry for the double post...

It took more voltage than I wanted to use (1.49375), and temps were definitely getting a little hairy but I finally got my 5Ghz stability for 30 minutes of P95 blend....

IronBalls: I only use IBT to get a rough idea of stability. Once I find that I go for 30 minutes of Prime95(blend) and adjust as needed. This has always proven to be stable for any apps I use...

I know I'm pretty slow and meticulous when it comes to OC'ing... :cool:
Anyway, I'm still working with this chip and like it better than my 9370!

darkage: My board is a CHV-F (not a Z version)....
