SIX is Sexy! (Unboxed)

Besides, how that Turbo thing scales?

turbo is scaling quite nicely between one to three cores fast, i'm pretty impressed with the hardware based turbo so far

ridney: its beter for OC than C3 Denebs, right? Hope, with refresh BIOS u will can turbo disabled for testing. But u are lucky man . What about wprime benchmarks?

i didn't had a c3 but a c2, so far i can say that it's nothing like it, it's a lot better in my opinion so i guess it is better than c3 (i'm on normal water cooling not chilled water)

what bios are u running on ur gd70? the newest is 1.B1 or 1.11B1

since friday i have been runing the latest 1.11b1 bios

According to AMD only 3 cores can be in turbo mode at a time, and since turbo is controlled by the CPU itself I doubt 4 cores are getting boosted, I'd say CPU-Z is a bad tool to use since it doesn't update often enough to see whats actually going on.

maybe someone can post a phenom II quad at 4.4ghz cpu score of 3dmark06 so we can compare the score i got and formulate an opinion based from those results



oh and i have some interesting bit found just this morning. turned on pc and checked cpu-z then saw i was only getting x11 multi on a 270 bus, so i was kinda shocked and worried that something bad might have happened (crashed system before going to bed), this is the first time i saw an x11 multi so i ran pi to check it again and took a screenie. it really is getting x11 on core#4



maybe a buggy bios? idk
