    Time for more extensive results, bear with me the first tests I'm trying to get an idea of what I should expect under DI tommorow.

    I seem to have a NB issue not sure if bios related, I'm not using higher because I get a post code error 00 with anything over 2200.....not by choice.

    according to hardware bot these scores are spot on if not a tad faster at the same speed.

    The 920's were binned with much weaker NB than the 940's. most 920's dont want to go past 2200 or so with 1.35v without errors.

    It sounds like the 720's may have the same low Binned NB of the 920's. If thats true I wonder what they might be saving the Higher binned NB/tri cores for.

    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    I don't think that the case this time, I have this same issue over 2800nb with the 940, I think its a combination of bios and the board being a GX. With F2 bios I could push NB preety hard.

    that 720 definitely hit NB 3.3Ghz with 790X am3 board.
