Yes, SP3. I also tried SP2 and and TinyXP 9 as a base. I usually just use TinyXP for SuperPi, wasn't off from my own benching SP3.

Didn't get LN2 today, had some errands to run. Tomorrow!
I'll put up air results later when I get home as placeholders.

Dan, you're too impatient. I haven't done this for almost 12 months, cut me some slack! I need to optimize OS and efficiency on air first.

...so, GB Z97 SOC Force any good? Need to step up my Intel game and get all these low end GPUs benched. Probably looking at purchasing a Tek9 Slim to do that business.

GB Z97 SOC Force is a great choice especially given the price point. I think their 3D efficiency is probably the best so I think it would be an ideal choice for grinding out old cards.

If all the XP versions are bad, maybe try Win 7.

I know you had to look for a missing RAM stick!
For this reason I'll give you some more time!

The Z97X SOC Force seems to clock Haswell just fine for Team.AU and Charles!

Yes, Win 7 is better for me but still off from some guys' XP results...

Yes, only originally found 2 out of my 3 sticks of Hyper. Bothered me quite a lot. Turns out it was just buried under more RAM... what a fail on my part. Still no LN2, will go in the morning. Hope the guys give me a price break, they jacked me up to a whopping $0.75/L...I had been paying $0.50/L

Wow, with all those records, the board must be crap! I'd say Charles just has magical ES and anti BCLK OC powers.

[Don_Dan]

There isn't really that much magic for WPrime that I know of. Maybe the Pros on our team know more!

Good luck for getting a better price, though $0.75/L sounds fine to me...

Just curious, where can you get LN2 for $0.75/L?

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Airgas I'm sure as others have been able to get it for $0.40/L from there as well.

[BeepBeep2]

@filmbot - AirGas in Bedford Heights, OH
The manager in Canton wasn't very nice, quoted me $3.50 / L and wouldn't sell to me under $2.75 because he was "taking a loss" under that price, total bull****, the guys told me they pay like $0.30/L from the supplier...

[BeepBeep2]

In case anyone was wondering why I hadn't posted any results, I can't get the CPU to unlock on the UD5. Going through different BIOSes tonight to try to find one that works. I have unlocked the CPU on ASUS boards without any issue but I noticed it wasn't working lately on MSI/Gigabyte 900 series

EDIT:
Change of plans, this board won't unlock this CPU period.
...nor will my MSI or Biostar 970 series boards.

[Don_Dan]

Will you go back to ASUS now?

Or try an entirely different setup?

Going back to ASUS requires pulling a water cooling loop and 3 GPUs from a gaming build, though that board would be helpful. It will be a couple days.
I have an A6-5400K here too on ASRock M-ITX that could be interesting but it has terrible RAM compatibility.

If the CPU doesn't unlock on that board, I'll be stumped. I believe this CPU unlocked to 3 core on both my M4A89TD Pro and Crosshair V Formula but won't on any other boards I have here in the house.

[Crabby]

Well I couldn't resist any longer and bought 2 Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6500K cpus. I think these chips with a high multi will be a great match for my UT x48 mb. If not then I have a nice piece to add to my growing pile. The guy has 8 more....http://www.ebay.com/itm/151243434425 Seems like a good deal to me and soon I will add an unlocked Pentium G3258 to my collection.

Any good news? Taking a board out of a gaming rig doesn't sound very pleasant indeed.

Good luck with the Pentium E6500Ks!

HWBOT Team Cup 2014 has been announced!

[Don_Dan]

k|ngp|n's Computex preparations condensed into a 120 seconds video clip:

[BeepBeep2]

Waiting on an order of Gelid GC-Extreme, will then prep up Crosshair V Formula and FX-8120 for AMD CPU OC %.
Will probably wait for Devil's Canyon before touching Intel.

[Don_Dan]

I'm looking forward to seeing your scores! Maybe 8.1GHz?

[Crabby]

I just pre-ordered an 4790K along with a GA-Z97X-SOC Force.

[Don_Dan]

Good choice!

I hope you have some money left for the Pentium Processor Anniversary Edition chip.



Thanks to leeghoofd for the picture.

[Ace123]

New stepping to try

[Don_Dan]

Good luck with the new chip!

[Ace123]

Meh. So far not any better than my current chip

[Ace123]

One more try

[ZenEffect]

looks tasty!

and here I am wasting time with 2x 2630v2...

[BeepBeep2]

I'm looking forward to seeing your scores! Maybe 8.1GHz?

Well, 8+ for sure, already did 8007 with that CPU on Gigabyte 990FX...
Thermal paste just came today.
