Cinebench R15 AMD results - new fun for next months

[hwgeek]

I hate you INTEL!!!
I miss my AMD rig... it was such a fun playing with the CPU... now I have IB G2020 yes its good but where is the fun with locked CPU
I gonna Sell it and buy nice cheap FX or amd 750K.

A very thermally limited run.

The old Ultra 120 Extreme (with one of the pipes punctured) + a single Enermax Magma fan are simply useless for this kind a load.
It idles at 40 (at best) in 26 celcius ambients and in the middle of the run the temperatures are close to 60 already.

The first two units (CU0 & CU1) can easily pass CB15 at 5.2GHz (1.43V), the third unit (CU2) 5.1GHz (1.43V) and the weakest fourth (CU3) unit 5GHz at <1.4V, despite the unoptimal temperatures.

In FX-9 series scale this a low leaking part, however on FX-8 series scale it would have extreme leakage rating.

I have the same issue. CU0 and CU1 seems the best, CU3 very weak. I can run 4940 MHz Cinebench with 1.355V only (but CPUNB at stock) but for 5100 MHz I need 1.5V and Im at the limit of temperatures. 5150 MHz sometiems OK, sometimes error of Cinebench+BSOD.

FX-9370, benchmark stable settings for all benchmarks, AMD AIO cooler

[tbone8ty]

FX-8350 @ 4817mhz @ 1.47v
air cooled on nzxt havik 140 with dual 120mm xigmatek fans.

this is probably the best i could do with my chip and cooling. ill tweak some more...maybe some memory timings and bump NB to 2600mhz

[tbone8ty]

FX-9370 and 9590 come with liquid cooling now!

Wich ES did you have from AMD?
We want to see more of it

[FlanK3r]

it is borowed (was) 9590. Now is back in demonstrator PC of one czech shop.

Update

FX-8350 @ 5230MHz 1.56V
2x2GB Crucial Ballistix @ DDR3-2220 9-9-9-27-34 1T 1.62V
Asus Crosshair IV Formula

Nice run with some decent V_Core for an 8350. The one I have is a real piggy when it comes to power.

[FlanK3r]

FX-9590 1.55V@5371 MHz, normal ambients, AMD Allinone Cooler

[Johan45]

Just 2 more points you would've had me! Nice run though.!

[FlanK3r]

thanks , yes, I could set a bit better RAM timings or +200 MHz CPUNB (but this could be more stress for CPU)

It's a real balancing act for the NB and all out speed I find. I think you were ahead of me in CPU speed but I had the NB at nearly 3000 if I remember right.

Received an Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3 FM2+ mobo today, first one that was available here. Also bought an cheap richland A4-4000. Max BCLK selectable in the bios is 140MHz so this is the limit beside memory timings.

Nice run for that cpu. You have to wonder what some L3cache would do to that score.

Here's a new one :

Awesom

Is an lower NB clock than the HT clock no problem with with an FX-9590?
Because PII X6 does not like this

[FlanK3r]

there is not the poroblem with FX. Only your CPUNB must be higher or the same as DRAM efective clocks

Must admit i expected more and i did noot know that BCLK overclocking is a mes with the onchip GFX enabled. On my setup i could not increase by 1 MHz or select anything higher that 1333MHz for the ram without an external gfx.
Edit: Hmm switched from VGA to HDMI now above settings work without an external gfx.

My FX 8320 Corsair H100, NZXT Tempest, Memory 8GB Crucial 1866mhz, etc.

Verry interesting!

Is this with the X6 also?

And is an highter HT Clock than the NB Clock for anything good?

[FlanK3r]

its default...2600 HT is default for 15h FX

I have no hands on experience with the AMD APU's. But I do know that the NB and GFX are tied together and performance increased quite a bit with some faster ram. I have thought about picking one up to play with but I barely have time for the toys I have now.
