I'm not putting my whole rig outside, just trying to cheat. Here's a pic:

A friend came over the other day, came back in the living room and said "Dude, what happened? Did a robot explode in there !!!? "...
I guess she has a point, it does look pretty geeky.

Anyway, it's close to 0c here tonight so I tried to best my CB 11.5 score on the old 8350 (1236PGN).
I was hoping to move up in the ranks a little, but this board is at it's limits. It's a budget board (Asus M5A97 R2.0) and anymore CPU voltage caused a "CPU Overvolt" error during post.
I need a decent board for bench testing, I may pick up an open box Sabertooth next time I see one on NewEgg...

I didn't move up, but I did manage to beat my previous best, so it may keep me in the top 10 a bit longer...

The "Wow" was just a fluke that happened during testing, so I saved it.

I'm rambling now, and this is a little OT, but I closed on my house tonight!
I'm officially a "home owner" now, and will be moving into the new place at the end of the month...
Hi, nice idea

have you tried with higher memory speed and looser timings?

Wonder if there is a difference in performance ??
