Any bios should work, you just have to set ide mode.

I think that the way it was supposed to be set up is you can't switch division in the middle of the season, and only scores within that division will count towards your hwbot ranking. However you should still be able to submit to other divisions for points towards your oc-esports ranking.

Oh right, thank you.

What subtimings were you binning at on air?

XP works fine on my VII impact, you have to run sata in IDE mode.

On the asus commando have you tried booting it with something pata plugged in? I had a very specific issue on my OG crosshair formula where it would hang at cpu init code unless it had a pata drive plugged in. It took some digging around to find that it was a known issue.

Very strong cpu, can't wait to see what else comes from it

When you hit higher mem clocks on 775 than most 1155 chips can do

I'm looking for a good resource for taking memory cold. Primarily ddr2 and ddr3. I know there's this thread and it has some really great info on how timings behave and general scaling for ddr3, but there seems to be less info out there that I can find for ddr2. Also I'm looking for info regarding cb's and cbb's on memory. Does anyone have any good resources that they'd recommend for all this?

I would say you can assume the ICs will be the same as normal rgb ram. You also will probably want to avoid these for all but max mhz for the same reason as the normal rgb. Looks like a new hs on an old pcb.

I don't have one for sale myself, but I know that they're not too expensive on ebay. If you look around and are patient you can usually find the board and cpu for relatively cheap.

Most legacy 3d is at this point

My experience is the sandy IMC is pretty variable, I have a 2600k that does 5.6 but won't do above 105.8 bclk on mem, and I have a g470 that will do 108.4 at the 2133 divider. Although most will start dropping off by 109, and you'd be hard pressed to get to the high 109s.

Nope, it's automatic

On a single core cpu the extra load of process lasso will equal a net loss. On a multi core cpu you set the affinity for pifast and every other process to seperate cores, then you can also set the launch priority of pifast. If you're on a single core cpu and just want to increase the priority then you can follow the steps here to edit the batch file https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Program-Start-at-High-Priority-(Windows) for multi core systems process lasso should be better as you can also set the core affinity.

Not that much data in here on pifast but a little, it may help. https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/wiki/hwbot/2d As for realtime priority, you can use process lasso or something similar to set affinity and priority for pifast before it launches.

Yes the graphics tests ran, however your cpu test did not. I've had this same issue and contacted 3dmark about it. The issue is that the test will not run without the ssse3 instruction, which k10.5 arch does not have. But what do I know?

We're not worthy!

Thanks! I'll try some different things out then.

What tweaks did you use? I'm getting half the gfx score with seemingly the exact same settings and driver on that board.

Gonna have to bin boards before I even get more cpus, current board seems to max at 109.9

The bench didn't actually run. And if you don't understand why then you should look up ssse3 and how your cpu doesn't have it. I guess I could buy one myself just to prove a point but you're hardly worth it

Main issue here is that win 7 doesn't work at all on raven ridge for some reason, even though it works perfectly fine on pinnacle ridge. So the only way to sub rr cpu benches is on win 10. Obviously this is a huge issue if you want to sub something like cb15 or spi, but it's the current state of things. Perhaps updated microcode will fix whatever the problem is on raven ridge so that we can get some legit scores on the cpu.

Damn, think I'm gonna have to bin boards to beat this. Great job man!
