cinebench 11.5

[Daveburt714]

Looking back to page 6-8, I see that my CPU is still full of suck. I didn't degrade it or anything, why do all my CPUs hate me?

Prolly cause you've been hating on the FX so bad lately, and you don't even have one yet....

Charged: Yeah, I think your right... It's somewhat different from Thuban, with Thuban the chip was close to the edge when you couldn't get a little more with a slight bump in v's.
It seems that sometimes it takes quite a bit more v's to get higher clocks with the FX (not optimal), but it works...

Anyway, back on topic...
I just couldn't let the FX noobs of Zeus & wez make me look bad!
I've had my chip for close to a month, and they just got theirs.


I worked on this again after the game, and got a pretty decent CB11 score...
Not sure how long this will last, but it includes OS/temp tweaks (I opened the windows, even though it's not that cold out).

Ambient Temp is ~20c, and I pushed voltages WAY higher than what everything likes (Chip/IMC and Mem):




I'm not sure I'll push much harder than this! I like this chip and I don't wanna break it...

Before I found the max CB clocks, I ran a few others benchies. Not too shabby...


Say what you want folks... In typical AMD fashion, this is a fun chip to OC!

I think I may have to accept defeat on this one. For now....

Without using the AC to blow semi-cold air over the rads, voltage/freq wont scale much beyond 1.45v, heat just kills it.. As with thuban these things sure love it cold.

Did some testing, turning off the fans on two of my rads, leaving just one with fans going. Running my 24/7 clocks (4750/2600) The result is hard lock/bsod when under load. That somehow show how cooling hungry and picky these things are.
