FlanK3rs next chip from AMD-now "only" quad

[FlanK3r]

Hi guys, next days i must test my next CPU. So, how do u like PII x4 970 BE? In some review was this CPU very great in OC, better than most x4 955/965 BE...Example look at Guru3D etc. etc.

And this is my chip, sorry for bad quality photos, a trouble with photocamera

[demonkevy666]

is it getting wasteful to keep making four different dies ?

thuban 1
deneb 2
propus 3
regor 4

wasting their own money..... :/

[geobot24]

You can answer to your question by testing it...

From your experience, what are you expecting to do? Especially with subzero cooling....

[Alex-Ro]

Test it,and tell us how it overlclocks,eventually in CPU-NB clock too

[ericFX1984]

I'd hit that

[FlanK3r]

just we must waiting to weekend , now i have not here second board...im hope, this chip hit stable 4.1-4.15 GHz, its my tip .

[Tomasis]

looks forward for your OC.. it must oc better than thuban.. like 4,2-4,3ghz under 1,44v

deneb 2
propus 3

why? it'd be more waste giving away free cores

[FlanK3r]

tomasis: hehe, maybe only for validation it will better than 4.2 Ghz with this voltage , but promise, il try to find nicely maximum validation ,-)

[Alex-Ro]

Move ya ass and test that chip,stop wasting any precious time and tell us what that 970 can do

[FlanK3r]

want, by i have not here second board...whats new, i found bent pins in first line :-/...So, tomorow evening il have work :-)...

Propus maybe.
Regor/Deneb no.
Bigger dies cost bigger money, and with processes getting better yeilds, it's most likely much more wasteful to make 555/560BE's than Athlon II 260's.


Guru of 3D got 4200 Mhz with 1.53v @ 60c load.

[FlanK3r]

yes and not only Guru , example Pureoverclock booting to windows at 4400 MHz with x4 970 !

[BeepBeep2]

yes and not only Guru , example Pureoverclock booting to windows at 4400 MHz with x4 970 !

Compare that to my 965: 4400 Mhz will run SuperPi @ 1.62v under 20c CPU temp

I can't boot windows over 4150, so that's quite an accomplishment.

[..::G80::..]

Waiting LN2 results.

[FlanK3r]

beep: i cant boot with my x4 965 more than 4050 MHz ...

G80:later maybe yes, but now not, first i must to buy some LN2 pot (looks at F1...)

[FlanK3r]

btw, whats is the best methody for straightening pins?

[ericFX1984]

beep: i cant boot with my x4 965 more than 4050 MHz ...

you have a crosshairs and you cant get any higher than 4GHz? man I have a 965 with a crap msi 890gxm-g65 and I can roll 4.4GHz easy... I must have a happy little chip

[stangracin3]

btw, whats is the best methody for straightening pins?

mechanical pencils and credit cards.

[theoldtimer]

I'm interested FlanK3r. Looking forward to some new hardware results.

[FlanK3r]

Oldtimer: benching is planned at weekend, we set with one friend custom water cooling and will se how is it good

[Yancey]

Mechanical pencils are the best for bent pins. I must have fixed a boat load over the years..

How can your CPU do 3950 stable @ 1.44v and not boot at 4050...

My CPU does 4040 stable with 1.6v and will boot at 4140

[crazydiamond]

for bent pins i like using a razor blade along the entire row of pins and straightening them all at the same time,, worked for me on many occasions

credit card is safer, and the exact same size
