Nice job, congrats!!

[fuzz3l]

Hell of a cpu!

Nice job!

[miahallen]

How many CPUs did you test....if this is the first...you just won the lotto

[cold.nut]

wish i had the money to bin this chip

[Hazzan]

how high you can run with max multi on BCLK 100 ? 55x100/56x100/57x100..?

Thanks

[nickshih]

congrats for the great chip !!!! awesome

[Benny Lodewijk]

awesome findings !! congratulation for superb chip

[splmann]

Verry nice Chip !!

[Patch]

Very nice chip. Congratz!

5.2 and 5.3 so far...

[RCG_Bex]

God... If I wasn't afraid of LN2 and killing my board / chip I'd so be up for benching mine and trying to beat this

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

that is simply awesome if you picked that up as your first chip

[rsannino]

Yes, I won the lottery

RCG_Bex, if you do not overdo it with nitrogen, do not break anything

I have not done extensive testing to lack of time.
I will do that and I will tell you all, the scalability and behavior at different temperatures or ​​BLCK values

Hello rsannino....i just bought 3960X and got the same batch I would like to get 5Ghz for 24/7.... should be possible with water i guess ... what V-core is needed for 5Ghz ? I have no LN2

[rsannino]

The batch is relative depends on the CPU, I can not advise you to use a voltage for 24 / 7, I would never say something that later proved wrong. I'm sorry.
For example, I have 2 3930k with same batch, first 5500 mhz 1.525vcore, other 5250mhz 1.6 vcore; but if I go down to 4600 MHz, the first is rock solid a 1.41 vcore, the second to 1.375 vcore. As you can see a processor that takes very little voltage to high-frequency, at low frequencies required voltage high more than others. It 'impossible to give exactly values, ​​require extensive testing.
Hello I hope I was clear, my english is very bad XD

[Papagaj]

Well thank you for answer i greatly appreciate it. I'm planning not more than 1,5V-core ( should be very safe for premium watercooling with just one loop for CPU) and I hope i will ended up on 5Ghz.
I have very little or no knowledge so far about this platform so my next question is.... did you change any other voltages let's say for 5200 Mhz?

My old CPU was Core i7 975EE. And i think for a home usage it was a GOLDEN ONE. For 4234Mhz the cpu needed just 1,24 V-core and it was rock stable for almost 3 years. I had Noctua D14 on it.

[rsannino]

If you only increases the multiplier (Example x50 --> x52), then it should just be enough to increase the vcore. If increases the BLCK then it is a different discourse.

Cherry Pic man!!!

No no, I meant my 1 I picked up in the states. I can't remember if it was 329 or 429...

Mine's a 3133B429 for sure, I'm looking at the box while I'm typing They in Hong Kong called it a 'grey import'... though I'm assuming it came from the US since SBE ain't officially released there yet and for the price I aqquired it, I'm certainly not complaining.
