Thanks.

Did you buy the kit?

...aaaannndd I am over the 300 point hump. 400 next

Congratulations! Well done!

I wish I had 300 points...

Yeah. He declined my offer for $10, I ended up paying $13. Whether it gets here before the end of the month is another story...Est. June 29th...
I was up late last night with a shaky hand performing a socket pinmod on my Socket 462 system, gonna try to boot it up tonight at rather conservative selections (2 GHz, 1.675v)

[Don_Dan]

That's still a good price, I hope they come in in time.

Was your mod successful?
By the way, nice work with the new Phenom II chip!

[BeepBeep2]

Haven't tried to boot the Socket A system yet. To be honest, I suspect I will need LN2 to pull off what I modded so I'm gonna try something a little lesser.

As for K10, it is okay for 32M, but these new chips are weird. I can only do 1M about 40 MHz higher than 32M and validate less than 100 MHz higher. CPU-NB is awful. (4.3 @ 1.68v)

I still have a 965 to try.

[Don_Dan]

Alright, I saw you were able to improve your 32M time with the new 965!

[BeepBeep2]

Yes, but this board is extremely inefficient. I am missing 8-10 seconds.

On a good board with a little more CPU-NB headroom too I think I could even break 10:1x.000, because the CPU is good for 6.8 GHz.

[Don_Dan]

Yah, I know the C5F is very good for monster memory clocks but efficiency is not its strength.

For FX it isn't that bad, I'm not really sure though because nobody bothers to run 32M.

I have an M4A89TD Pro but I think it is dead. I might have to RMA it.

[BeepBeep2]

Got new ram today, these are 1GB CH-5 rated 200 2-3-2-6. I didn't do bad, I guess for $18.

EDIT:
By the way, my 2600K+MIVE won't post on air. I'm getting kind of worried, it is a huge setback for me to be out of $380.

Yah, but I read you have noticed that memory that seems great on FX + 990 needs about 0.1V more for the same clocks on Intel ( SB or IB ). That's why I'm careful about buying RAM that has been binned on Bulldozer, especially the C5F is going crazy on memory clocks.

Do you mean the 3200LL kit or another one? Did you get a rev1.2 kit? It will be better than your current RAM at least.

I'm very sorry to hear about your SB setup.

I'm very sorry to hear about your SB setup.

Rev 1.1, looked up IC on Corsair forums, said Winbond C Die
My Hypers fly on SB clock and booting wise, but I could not stabilize Hypers @ 2133 divider, but 1900 6-6-5 in 32M was fine, booted up to 1940 6-6-6 IIRC. They just don't work in 32M with SB, I think it was my chip's IMC.

My Pi kit was certified 7-10-7 1.65v on P55, needs more like 1.72v on SB, but flies on Bulldozer...G*Skill told me that it is common for the Pi to need more voltage on SB vs P55, no explanation why though other than "it was tuned for P55"

As far as my SB setup goes, the plan was to just fly through HWBOT benches for points and sell it. Now I can't do either, and I am at a $375 loss if CPU is dead, which means no LN2 for a long while and probably no Ivy Bridge until christmas rolls around...and that I will probably have to sell one of my HD5770s, etc.

Already sold my X6 1100T to cover costs from my dead 955.

Weird, 3200LL v1.1 should be rated 2-2-2-5 and be BH-5. Did you go by the product number?
I just checked my 3200LL kit on Corsair forums and it's not even in the list.

If your Hyper chips can't work on the 2133 divider it's because of the memory most of the time, my guess is that very good Hyper sticks like GTX2 would probably work fine.

Yah, as I said, I'm really sorry to hear about your loss, it sucks when something that expensive dies. Maybe you should think about benching cheaper stuff like I do ( when I have time ), if it breaks it doesn't matter much and you can go flat out on the voltages as well.

CMX512RE-3200LL_________XMS3200RE v1.1 0403063 = Winbond -5 Die Rev C
2-3-2-6 as the listing was at NCIX Canada.

I know guys that can't get GTX2 to work either. ADATA XPG+ are pretty awful bin in general but a lot work on SB. It's just weird. Not sure if CPU or board or both are dead, so I will find out soon after I get someone to drop in the CPU into their board.

Unforutunately I can't bench 3D, even with a lowly 5770 on AMD...I mean, I already did but I could easily improve those scores with SB on air. If my new Phenom II 965 BE does smth like 6.6 on LN2 for 3D benching maybe. Sold the 1100T.

[BeepBeep2]

Guys, I think we have a chance to compete in Team Cup SC5 IGP...
Anyone on the team with Ivy and Z77, plus a little time can cover GMA HD, right?

I have a laptop here with GMA4500M, to at least have a submission in the GMA category, I have $130 in PayPal right now too, plus a little extra birthday money (today is my birthday) so I can easily buy a 790GX/890GX motherboard for AMD HD 3/4xxx series, after benching I can just dump that board back into someone elses hands and buy/mess with Llano for a bit.

That would only leave GeForce integrated open in case someone would like to persue it.

I see it's because of the RE in the part number, it's different from regular 3200LL modules. 2-3-2-6 is typical of CH-5 indeed.

Any news about your chip?

We might have someone with IB and Llano who could take care of those stages... Unfortunately as far as I know there's no one with a GeForce IGP.

I have a 3870K I can send to someone who has a mb to bench, just ended up using the A75 UD4H.

I might take you up on that later on this month, I will be on vacation until the 17th.

@Don Dan
Yesterday I scrubbed off 2 strips of Armaflex tape off the back of the board so I can RMA it, took a lot of Alcohol and Acetone, about 5 hours of work. The Armaflex has the tackiest glue I've ever seen...and it was over top of the serial number sticker, so I had to be extremely careful to get the sticker readable... then I baked the board at 70c for 2 hours.

It did the exact same thing it did before, so the board will be off to RMA and I'll pray the CPU is alive.

[BeepBeep2]

In August I plan to eat up the AMD Athlon XP rankings with a side of Ivy...if my 2600K is alive and only my MIVE is dead O.o

Nice work Marco!

[Mafio]

never apply armaflex directly on the PCB, especially if you don't need to go cold there is no need to do so.
I mean, for -50° C or so you could just stick with a bit of eraser and paper IMHO.
if you need to go real cold armaflex tape on the back of the mobo could be a good idea, but before applying it I would cover the entire PCB with some kind of electrical tape so when you have to get off the armaflex the PCB will be clean.
armaflex glue is a pita to remove.

Blame Gunslinger @ PURE team? He sold me the board...armaflex tape was on the backside of the PCB 3/4 length of the board horizontal across PCI-E slots. It was cheap though at $140, I was hoping I wouldn't have to RMA ever...
Either board or CPU died, I don't have extra board/CPU to test so board goes off to RMA before my 57x 2600K does

I use a grey pipe wrap, frost king brand, peels right off easy...eraser works too

A clean sweep!

I wonder why your scores don't show up on the Submissions tab...

[BeepBeep2]

I was wondering the same thing, I also couldn't tell if it changed team points on the page...I should have gotten ~36 points for the team but it looks to me like they didn't count towards overall team points.

We have had 26,015 - 26,017 for the last few days, it was like that before I submitted those and also after...

Can you recalculate the team's points?
