Somehow my older Thuban got hurt (over volt in a beta bios I think). It lost a good 50-75MHz from its max benching O/C. This wasn’t on the CHIVF MB or any Asus MB as far as that goes. Anyway the old Thuban still runs fine it just lost a little of the top end.
That problem lead to this solution.
Although the better NB may be old hat to many of you guys it was a nice surprise to me. The NB clocked quite a bit better than my old Thuban right out of the box. I realize I haven’t tested it under any real load as yet but at no load it’s better, yes I know it only proves just that.
Default CPU volts are lower on this one also. All the bios voltage settings are @ default but LLC is enabled for both the CPU and NB. LLC took the CPU/NB voltage to 1.5v at the first NB multi increase.
It will be interesting to see it the new chip is better all the way around than my older chip? I’ll know in the next week or so? Hope I don’t hurt this one.
