Welp, I guess I oughta break out the stuff again.

Thanks. 805 is a revised core anyway... I just find disallowing the 801 to be a little stupid when the 800 AB bin has a clear advantage over the other bins (higher DRAM frequency...). The 801 AB I believe has exactly the same CPU performance.

I would also like a clarification on this. The main difference with the 801 seems to be power reduction and higher GPU clock. The cores are the same except for frequency differences, IMHO this is kind of like different hardware steppings for the same model of CPU. The 800 and 801 both come in 8974-AB bins and I'd like to know if the *801* 8974-AB is allowed. The Snapdragon 800 8974-AB which released late just seems to be an 801 with slightly lower bin GPU and ISP. They were both released at the same time. I have an Xperia Z2 coming and I'd like to participate.

CPU-Z 1.60.1 was bugged ...

One of my old screens...

If you could give away your secrets that would be great. I tried all 3 slots, CL 2, 2.5 and CL3, lax tFC/tRFC, board won't post outside 1:1 and in 1:1 over 262 MHz FSB.

Yes, I read about the BIOS corruption, but haven't had anything happen I couldn't recover from. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to POST again, but after that its okay. All I have is an Ultra B so it's kind of DFI or die.

Yes Ivan, I do everything wrong I still can't get anything but 1:1 to work! I only have 512 MB sticks though

I can't get anything but 1:1 to work on LanParty NFII Ultra-B.

In CB 11.5 might as well run 400 CL6

You should still be able to use it here as long as it doesn't look fishy or out of line.

That CPU is just flat out nuts...

Take a look at fugger's 4770K...I'm not saying that that is a good example of an ES that beats retails, because there are obviously some great retails, but it is a very good ES. We've seen all too many times ES steppings crush retails, even AMD Phenom II C0/C1 steppings were very good vs most C2. cdawall's 945 ES was damn impressive and those chips had crazy voltage tolerance. To say that it is possible to compete with retail today is imho a b*****t statement because it's not really clear. As far as your statements on "sampling done for overclocking", do you mean binning by overclockers, or better retail parts? So many retail parts are total horse s**t...and as far as sources for buying binned hardware, yes. Some guys sell their lucky chips for an arm and a leg. Level of skill argument doesn't apply, just because you have more products available and more people using them without blowing stuff up IMHO doesn't dictate "skill"...insulating is a relatively standard task and pouring LN2 into GPU / memory pot is not much different than a CPU pot...the guys tweaking memory timings and etc. for 0.2% better efficiency are those that are usually dedicated with skill.

This. I had trouble with my last CPU-Z submission, and it took me quite a few minutes to figure out what to do. I don't think many users will know to change the URL manually, and it will cause more problems since CPU-Z has moved to this new link...

CPU: I believe CPU-Z is wrong, I think this is Socket FS1r2, not FP2. 2.5 GHz / 3.5 GHz Turbo, Richland, 32nm, 35w TDP http://valid.x86.fr/4eefut 8650G specs here: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2185/radeon-hd-8650g-igp.html

Hello AMD A10-5750M (2.5 GHz Richland Mobile) and 8650G...thanks Turrican!

Wow!

1.337v

Wow!

Thought so!

Noice. How does the Impact treat you?

Thanks guys This CPU probably has another 50+ MHz in it, had major problems with HT Ref clock, Easytune locking up PC, etc... Dinos this was all your fault right?

I think this should just be called "Gigabyte syndrome", this issue goes back to 790FX. I'm running Rev 1.1 UD5, it would not POST over 272 HT Ref on LN2, around 270+ it kept looping "Updating backup BIOS to latest version..............." Easytune locked up the machine when I tried to change HT Ref in windows, luckily PSCheck worked to achieve higher frequencies, but I threw any possibility of running SuperPi out the window.

Amazing.

Your result is magnificent, congrats sorry to hear about your Flares.
