also try Intelburntest set to 4 threads vs 2 threads.

run it normal with 4 threads then set 2 threads to see if it's lower. might want to try setting affinity with AOD/taskmanager on that or something.

then run it one two separate "units"

the on one "unit" for both cores.

Thanks for the suggestions demonkevy666.

It's not looking good for me testing anything for a while as the chiller developed a leak, so I've been cleaning up a lot of windshield washer fluid today. What a mess.

When will 8core bulldozer be in stock?

Thank you for the nice comment for a 5 day and nite with Zambezi :p ... What did you want to see then ?

well I'm sorry I didn't know the reviewer was actuallyan user between us, actually it was the best review of Bdz I've seen so far.

But, you should know that NB and Ram works in a couple. So why haven't you done any ram
and NB scale together?

2200 NB - 1600 - 1866 - 2133
2500 NB -1600 - 1866 - 2133
2800 NB - 1600 - 1866 - 2133

You did the NB scale test and that was nice, but obviously performance has stopped scaling at some point, since you only used DDR3 1600 for that, that's cool cause you could find out whats the best NB to take advantage of 1600 Mhz Ram. So we could determine that no more than 1600mhz is needed for 2200mhz, that give us a ratio of 1.4. For 2800Mhz NB we should see improovement until DDR3 2000Mhz. (again if you used 1600mhz C8 you should still using 2000Mhz C8 otherwise it will lost any sense)

You cant run 2800 Mhz CPUNB on Zambezi 24/7.

Why not!?

**El Gappo** · 10-26-2011, 04:31 PM

The NB doesn't OC that well. Might be able to do it on some chips.

**Frontl1ne** · 10-26-2011, 05:45 PM

So, BF3 is out now... any tests with BD yet?

**charged3800z24** · 10-26-2011, 07:35 PM

I'm looking for the Bench Mark App, All I can do is run FRAPS for now

**Blacklash** · 10-26-2011, 07:45 PM

Ya' I've been running my NB @ 2500+ with my ram @ 2100+. The NB at 2700 or higher just doesn't work well for me. Doesn't seem stable. I never increased voltages on it though. I only increased vcore and ram voltage for my OC.

I'm on air so I won't be going any higher than 4.6 with this particular chip.

Working on that, no more LN2 left that was the issue

and the phase is still in refill

Asked for a GB and MSI board to test the CH V efficiency myth...

**FlanK3r** · 10-26-2011, 10:42 PM

with BF3-beta was only this, GPU HD6970

**mR Yellow** · 10-26-2011, 11:04 PM

Well, BF3 final runs smoother for me than the beta. I don't have my BD yet. Hopefully they optimised it for BD.
The reason there's so little talk about BD is due to stock shortages.

NIce thing to note is that the min fps is better on the BD

**B.A.T** · 10-26-2011, 11:58 PM

Sweclocker.com has tested BF3 with i7 975, 2500K, 2600K, FX 8150, X6 1100T, X4 980, x2 560. For those who doesn't read swedish here are the results.

Green is avg fps and red is min fps

**mR Yellow** · 10-27-2011, 12:07 AM

I guess thats with def clocks on the 8150.

**Speedy-J** · 10-27-2011, 12:22 AM

It does not look so bad in gaming performance.
I have canceled my order on the 8150 coz it is still not availeble in the netherlands,i have been waiting almost a month now..

All cpus are tested at stock

**wez** · 10-27-2011, 01:50 AM

Here is my 8120, nothing too spectacular judging by the ihs. But we'll see

**Leeghoofd** · 10-27-2011, 02:16 AM

In the swedish test the GPU is not running on it's tippie toes... it still benefits from extra CPU power... AMD platform is very good when everything is maxed out, hence why it is pretty decent for gaming...

Testing tonite with GTX 480 and SLI cards...

Looking forward to your test on SLi

Don't judge a book by the cover mate. Just give it hell!

I have the exact same week as yours. Currently at 4.2Ghz on 8 cores @ 1.32 Vcore. Rock stable. Haven't tested for highest clock yet. Probably give that a try tonight.

**Particle** · 10-27-2011, 12:10 PM

I'll be doing some tests myself next week with an FX-8120 and two Radeon 6970s. That might interest the crossfire crowd if it wasn't SLI specifically that was drawing attention.

Also worth noting is that I plan to do testing under dry ice. It takes a few days to properly coat a motherboard in polyurethane to help protect it under cold conditions, but it should increase survivability in the event of an insulation error or failure. Now if only I'd get myself to actually order that aerogel cryogenic blanket.

Sweclockers are very pro intel. Check the GPU, HD 6990 does run best with intel.
Not long ago they had a intel banner in the middle of the forum buyer section

Here is another test:
