Well Vcore acts a bit differently then before : Think Martin.vr already mentioned that : my board tends to overvolt a bit more then before when being loaded...
With 1406 bios I had to set 1.256 to get 1.24 idle and 1.26 loaded under LinX ( CPU-Z readouts )
With 1611 bios I have to set 1.25 to get 1.24 idle and 1.26 loaded under LinX ( CPU-Z readouts )
Under prime it's funny that the board seems to give less juice as it tops at 1.256
The PLL, FSB Term and NB voltage needed to be that high to remain stable under IBT of LinX with 1406, 1611 allows in my case (with the QX9650) to lower them voltages considerably...
Maybe I'm an isolated case, the Vcore I'm pretty sure it acts up like that on several boards... for the rest you guys have to find out... Issue for me is that I cannot verify all the readings with my DMM as I've built the board into a case with all wiring neatly modded... and I'm not eager to pull everything out again... (before I had one board on a testbed ) so for the Vdimm I'm still at 1.92 will try to go lower there today...
Second thing : I mentioned before was that I could run Static Read control enabled this time... After some testing it seems that the bios engineers reversed it's function... look at the below results at 4ghz (in bold the better ones ) : (scores are run after a fresh restart, best out of three)
400FSB - 1002Mhz ram speed - 266 strap - Clock Twister Light - PL 9
SRC Enabled : R 8210 W 8471 L 63.3
SRC disabled : R 8255 W 8474 L 63.1
400FSB - 1066Mhz ram speed - 400 strap - Clock Twister Light - PL 8
SRC Enabled : R 8289 W 8448 L 62.1
SRC Disabled : R 8308 W 8479 L 62.0
450FSB - 1080Mhz ram speed - 333 strap -Clock twister Light - PL 9
SRC Enabled : R 8748 W 9568 L 59.4
SRC Disabled : R 8831 W 9415 L 59.3
Conclusion on my board is that Static Read Control Disabled yields slightly better scores now...
Can anyone else confirm this behaviour ?
Saaya yupp, I agree
