SIX is Sexy! (Unboxed)

Thanks for comments guys

Hey ridney ,nice results and thanks for s
haring! I have some good news regarding your remark about Turbo Core kicking in for a second or two. I checked myself and your scores for single core run in C10 64 bit are indeed done at 3.3Ghz and later on @ 3.95GHz . Your results are exactly 18% and 41% better than what you would get with stock 2.8Ghz with no Turbo CORE ON . You can check it by disabling Turbo in BIOS and then rerunning the single thread test again.You should score ~2970 points in that case (I checked it out with my K10 Quad @ 2.8Ghz ).
So the fact that you do see 2.8->3.3Ghz change "lasts" for a few seconds doesn't mean it actually is the case in reality since Turbo CORE is said to change the clocks VERY fast and dynamically on various cores if there is thread bouncing going on in the OS.

Thanks for the analysis informal, that certainly is good news. Will try to re-run cinebench on stock clocks without turbo soon, but one thing's for sure, turbo core is working and it's great. I might be running this x6 with CnQ and Turbo

Thanks for sharing m8!!!

Very nice pics, and a good analysis!

I'm with informal in this one, it looks like Turbo is working great, and the freq. changes too fast for CPUz to notice. Those scores seem too high for 2.8Ghz, it must be working at 3.3Ghz most of the time, if not always.

From wich core CPUz tells the clockspeed? If it's Core0, and Windows is distributing threads to different cores then CPUz might not catch the speed up because the Core0 wasn't affected by it.

Good catch Andi64, that's what i thought too. Maybe i'll try to run cpuz for each core to really see if turbo is picking up on three cores.

Can you do some prime or linx test for 3.95GHz.

Will do (prime95, i don't have linx), but perhaps a little bit later or tomorrow as the time is already quite late

Did you try OCing with the stock cooler, I see you have a waterblock? How did it do if you did? Thx

i would've loved to try the stock cooler as it looks quite nice with four heatpipes but i have to take down the whole rig down just to stick it in there. water is good

chip looks good

and its kinda funny that you set the speed to 3360mhz, and the turbo of just under 4ghz didnt cause a crash. guess they gave it plenty of volts, and most people can just buy a 125W 1055T and add 30-40 to the HTT and let the rest do the work, free 20% boost in speed and still good with the CnQ

yeah i kinda agree, i think this solution is more economical without compromising performance. actually i did 250 HTT with all settings at auto and everything were good. turbo went 4.125ghz

Nice cpu Ridney and thanks for the info. Looking forward to where it will land, temps look good for sure!

Thanks zeus, i believe the temps are quite off, ambient temps were about 29c but hwmonitor shows the cores idling at below ambient, at 24c. my x3 was idling somewhere around 34c at the same ambient temps so something is wrong here

At the screen you showed ,settings FID 12 and DID 0 gives you x14 multi which is stock, try FID14 and DID 0 ;-).
Check with cpuz.

okay i got your idea, i will try this tomorrow as i need to doze off already

yeah try using rivatuners built in cpu frequency monitor then you will be able to tell

six is sexy!

i thought rivatuner is for gpu's only? will look into this as i have a rivatuner
