Thanks for the results!

Interesting, the board is slower overall, especially in L2 and L3 and latencies. The Plat. benches a little higher than that as I bench with all software running to show ideal bandwidth there (AV/FW in background just paused). It will fall shorter of it which I didn't expect.

Yeah the TLB fix isn't applied there you can see by your L3 scores. If it is, the L3 is very low and slow or it doesn't run at all.

Checked to make sure all MSR's are modified.
Did you run your benchmarks with weak or normal mode for the mem?

BTW does Memset not work fully for you? It was displaying wrong speeds there for some reason.

Ups, the readings have spikes, catched one by accident.

It's the correct register as I've seen in the guides, try 1.55VID and see if idle power shoots up.

Now that cpu should survive till k10.5 at least, so i tried 1.1VID at 2.6GHz. I expected prime95 to fail but it did not also no power consumption change.

In case you missed cuz i updated an old post, i have an USB-stick requiring 30W.

BTW, what does MSR C001_0064 show, do you remember? I've forgotten, it's something related to the NB IIRC.

C001_ 0064h-0068h are the P-State status registers, first bit is interesting.
It's zero here, that means the rest of this msr register is invalid.

True, they're only to allow you more intermediate, high and low volts, nothing else. So if you want a voltage between say 1.225V to 1.23V and your BIOS doesn't allow it, then changing VIDs will give you an option for that voltage in there.

You can modify vcore in steps of 0.00625V that is half of what you can do with VID's (0.0125V step size).

Yea USB problems on this board and they crap out like that randomly. I was stuck because you can't press any key at all so you can't shut down but a power supply off while OS is running which I didn't want to do as it destroys system too much and I had many works unsaved.

Don't like USB keyboards, still causing issues i don't want to spend my time fixing. Good to have a vnc-service running in such a case.
