Yeah SocketMan I'm going to wait because MSI said they'll give me a preliminary NB option BIOS and then install them, thanks.

Did you mean "opinion" instead of "option"?
I'll try 1.13 when I pick up Xig, can't for now but... I don't understand your first qs

I've achieved my first goal: CnQ tweak for daily use.

Needless to say, this chip definitely pulls more amps than the previous ones. Less voltage, lower MHz, CnQ, it is idling 20W AC more with the same PSU.

Anyway, this is what I was after -> the chip is purely a tweakers chip

Idle (CnQ): 14.88W DC (not-incl. at least 50% lost in VRM conversion efficiency)



Idle Full Speed: 43.64W DC (not-incl. at least 40% lost in VRM conversion efficiency)



CB10 at 2800MHz



Sorry fellas incl. those I'm conversing with through PMs and those I owe some help to, I'm off, very tired today and been extremely busy too, so excuse me
