ok you had your max-mhz fun- well done, show us wprime now :p

[oanvoanc]

if you are benching on ln2 could you guys check max clocks for 3dm11?
seems to be even lower than wprime for me

[SoF]

I would have liked to bench wprime but my CPU decided to die after only 2 hours on LN2...

IB is weird sometimes...25 hours at least with this chip under cascade, pushing 1.75V @-80°C and never had an issue...

6.5 GHZ 1.88V 1m (~110*59) the system freezed, shutdown and "00" all the way...wanted to check different board and seems the CPU killed that one also...

...bad day in xtreme-oc for me but here are some first impressions when I was still happy benching...couldn't grab the scores from SSD as I had no working board left (MVG will show A2 and the MIVE was wet as a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: at this time...)













more to come...I could manage some pretty nice SLI-Runs before the CPU died...

[SoF]

time to get serious

[Vivi]

good job sof!

Don't kill it with your great CPU-live-time record :P

[SoF]

I am carefull with vcore this time but some CPUs can die below 1.9V already so you never now what happens next.
I am already missing the times where you had one chip for a year or two (E6850, E8600)...

With IB it's more like buying tyres for a bugatti veyron...they only last 15 minutes at full speed...such as IB at full vcore & clock

[Vivi]

pffff you girl push some 1.88v atleast .

would that make 6450 3D ? Or is this your max 3d anyway?

Nice chippie

[SoF]

I am pretty sure it can do more - I was totally drunk and exhausted but wanted to bench after not finding the time for 6 days.

it was just straight first boot and let it run...can do wprime at that clock so maybe even 6.6+ 3D with 3 cores and 1.9V (if it can handle it).

Very nice CPU SOF.

I'm finding Ivy to be weird myself, one session I have no CB or CBB once I'm past 105bclk, other sessions I have CB @ -150c and CBB @ -90c and nothing I change will stop it. Frustrating when it doesn't work, absolutely brilliant when it does.

Have done a bit of testing with my CPU now, first retail 3770K I've bought. Nice IMC can bench 32m with 2800 and decent core speed with 2 cores, but as soon as I turn HT on it goes not so good :p. It also doesn't scale past 1.8v so all my runs are "low" voltage with this cpu. I hope to find 6.6+ CPU soon.

Nice start!
It looks like the new chips are happy with ~1.8V (and fragile past that...don't ask any questions ...)

Some pictures from last night...

nice chip SOF!

an old german tradition - AM3 on 2x gpu

1.9V - nice!!!

Be sure I have some asses soon

[SoF]

wow this looks good - I have 4 new chips in my car - 2x week 19 (2 different b-steppings) 1x week 15 and 1x week 20 (brand new)...pre-testing from sunday on...LN2 next week-end if things go allright...

Need to see 6.9 myself, this is awesome!

Ofc MVF is laying at home....just some business trip keeps me away (another time...)

[fuzz3l]

Solution for your Problem Chris: Just send me the board and the CPUs. I will Take care of them
Nice Chip, brandybuck!

[SoF]

I better break my own stuph
