Say Hello to ""B2"" stepped Gulftown ^^

[ajaidev]

so we all flashing 980's around here?

LOL im tempted to join the club...

Ive had my 980 for a while now..



Ive had both A0 and the 980.

My 980X does 4.4 @ 1.387Vcore with HT on like Pie.

My A0 required @ least 1.42 vcore for that range..
So yes, the B steppings are beasts.

One wierd thing i noticed tho... The A0's like a higher QPI vs the B's unless im seriously doing something wrong... :\

Quite correct i am very surprised with these B1's tough i have a B0 and it has a different mentality than the B1.

I think since even my A0 like higher QPI maybe that is the cause for the higher heat ??

Not the new Q4EG B1 Stepping...cool as a cucumber...only 6 degrees above room temp at idle...never goes above 55C on full 100% load...very nice chip! Hoping for 4.6 24/7....We'll see....It will probably do it, but at voltages I am not comfy with...

Very nice, what are you using ? Chilled water or something, the temps are real nice are you sure the temp sensor is reading the temps correct

Has nobody put these under a single stager yet? I am guessing 5ghz+ easy for 24/7? All I see is air/water/ln2...

I have asked permission to put in under because i dont want to kill it with voltage and then get blamed for it.
