coldbug

[saaya]

nah its 939 saaya......and i had 3 chips no coldbug.....all were LDBHE, although i did cherry pick these for that exact code....I wasn't picky once i found them with that code......

The one i still have was the best of them all....I lost my 3.0 gig 24/7 stable chip on grouper, wife shut the pc off and not the mach 1..........needless to say when she turned it back on the next day there was a fire in the PWM area and the chip screamed ohhhhhhhnoooooooooeeess.......

As you can see at -31c it was still cranking.......and cold boot temps were colder.......problem was my homemade DI tube just couldn't get any colder....http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...51&postcount=4

ouch!
no coldbug at all?
awesome!
did you notice anything else?
did the temperature probe work the same as on other cpus?
what about memory speed at low temps?

True.
Locked usually but for the unlocked Phenom BE models. 9500/9600 at 1.25VID draws 18.9A per core, lower is even lower and if you increase VID (P-States) you'll see a massive jump at the same VCore from 105W idling to 330W idling at the same MHz.

you think the current is "unlocked" for the BE cpus?
that... sounds weird... so basically there is an overcurrent protection but its... disabled for BE cpus?

your idle power jumped up to 330W????

sorry for not reading the entire thread in case someone mentioned this but in my experience with AMD the cold bug was directly related the HTT and you could "cheat" the level of bug by lowering HTT

i don't see how that would be a temp sensor issue on K8

for some people lowering the mem speed helped, for others it didnt afaik...

I know, remember I started the thread on them but if we compare a BH chip not known to coldbug to a non BH chip............I bet saaya could figure it out....

pheew... dont think i could figure it out
id need compressor cooling dry ice or ln2, and i dont have the money for compressor cooling atm, i dont have a pot and i live at the edge of a rather small city in germany so getting dry ice or ln2 wont be easy... :/

i think KTE would be better at researching why your cpu doesnt coldbug.
maybe i can digg up some amd contacts to find out why this stepping doesnt coldbug.

how does it oc compared to other steppings? with aircooling and rather stock voltage i mean?
