Quicktest Retailstepping Gulftown under dice

[@rne]

This was the same model which we used at the GOOC North American qualifier last April...while we did have a couple mobo issues at the event, I don't recall a single issue caused by PWM failure, they all seemed to be BIOS issues. We were all pushing i7 975s to 5.2GHz+ under LN2. PWM on this board should be fine for GT IMHO, especially at these low voltages

Yep. I used this model also at GOOC in Eindhoven, Netherlands as far as i remember. The PCIe Mod wasn't public this time, so we were limited to bclk.
Other than that, the board worked very well. I also think the pwm design is powerful enough for GT, maybe there are some issues with the quality of components on some boards...

Nice benching Arne, too bad about the board. It just happens sometimes...

THX!
