Compare 1090T and FX-8150

i dont consider 1.55v on thuban 24/7 for most people. most dont push it past 1.5v because air cooling just cannot keep it stable around there (unless you have a fan that makes you deaf)

also the crashing in idle ive seen before, and its because my idle voltage was too low. i would turn that up a few notches or just turn off CnQ and see if that fixes it.

can you test power consumption with the 2 different chips? it would be great to see identical load wattage and see how different the temps are, since that can give a very clear indication if the cpus are set with different calibrated sensors.

You'll notice after I said "24/7", I clarified by saying "... maximum semi-stable frequencies... if they passed Cinebench and 3Dmark CPU tests, I considered it stable." For me, if the rig can stay stable w/o crashing for a 10-hour game session, I call it 24/7 stable.

I think I forgot to mention that I had all power saving options disabled in the BIOS. I also had the HPC (High Performance Computing) option turned off, but I really have no idea what the hell that does. Anybody have a clue?

I'd love to test power consumption, but the last Kill-o-watt I had melted to the receptacle and I haven't got one since.

Thanks for this comparison....this is really getting worse and worse. I thought the difference between the old and new was a little, but IPC seems to be really really bad on this new chip. As a request, could you try the same tests with 4c/4cu...?

I was planning on testing that out, too. Right now I'm working on the random crashing, but I'll get to it soon.

Can you do some gaming comparisons please, as i am looking getting the BD for gaming.

Give me some games that I can easily bench. I usually play Bad Company 2, but I don't think there's any pre-configured benchmark runs. I suppose I could capture the frames with Fraps and try to make the same run twice.

is the asus bios still nerffing the chip when compared to the asrock?

Oh, I'm also running the 9911 BIOS, since I didn't mention it before. But as far as this board being better/worse than another, I couldn't tell ya. I've seen the same benches as everyone else, but I find it hard to accept that the flagship ASUS mobo is going to suck by that much, compared to other boards.
