My Dual Harper - Asus Z7S WS living review *56K warning*

[jcool]

glad to see it working for you are you going to do any direct benches against skulltraill i would like to see that

Maybe if Wes has some time, some day
Even though ST can't handle that kind of FSB as it seems

We need vcore mod!

That wouldn't help me I'm afraid. I tried yesterday with mult 7 if I could go higher and I can't. Prime smallFFT reboots, which means my CPUs are at their FSB limit. Small wonder considering they only get 1,07V VTT. So me, I'd need a VTT setting to go further.

@klajd: No, but I sent the Asus Techsupport everything we found out (about the SF and such) and it seems we were heard. Friend of mine discovered the file on the Asus ftp yesterday morning and thankfully, he told me.

@redmodel: No, both HW prefetcher options are set to enabled. I tried again with the new bios and couldn't find any differences in Nuclearus, Cinebench etc. so I left them on. Just set SF Bypass to enable and you're good. I also have EIST/C1E enabled, so it goes down to 2560Mhz and 1,05V or something
Bench is 64bit like it says in the screenshot
The HR-05 IFX will fit the NB with unmodified HR-01 X, but its bottom plate has a surface area vastly smaller than the IHS of the 5400 northbridge. Friend of mine uses it and says it works well, but I'm not a friend of small coolers on large heatspreaders.

On another note, it seems that my Z7S is NOT cheating about the mem speed, benchmarks indicate there is no throttling or wrong divider involved.

However, a friend's Z7S is cheating somehow. He runs his 667 FBDimms at a reported 412Mhz (which can't be true obviously) and gets horrible ram bandwidth benches, less than me at stock 333.
So be careful with clocking 667 FBDimms too high, at some point the mobo will reduce performance. However it seems to generally be able to clock the mem higher than other boards.
