  1. Some boards can be set up to use non-default core counts and/or voltages the first time you insert a CPU. This way you can POST a CPU which would otherwise not POST in another board. You can then run this CPU at low voltages for a while. Sometimes this allows CPUs to recover.
  2. Who would have thought that ASRock boards would eventually become desirable for high-end LGA775 benching.
  3. Using public results has quite a bit of survivor bias. Most bad results are never posted in public. Also, binning PSC for voltage on air is more of an epeen thing - it means nothing for LN2 (other than filtering hopeless rejects) and hardly beats Samsung 2Gbit D / 1Gbit G for performance and ease of handling.

    Now the question is, if you combine the adapters, will a Dothan work in a Rampage Extreme?
  5. Bet that taking it to even 150 BCLK must have taken you hours
  6. inb4 we find out that using Z87/Z97 for DDR3 binning was stupid and X58 is the true WR platform for DDR3 raw clocks
  7. Wonder how long it takes before Ground brakes overall DDR3 record on LGA1366. "only" few hundred MHz to go.
  8. Was more of a one-time thing. Don't expect any new scores until the next random event .. in 2028, I guess? I tried an impersonation of Luumi while at it:
  9. "board would rarely boot, never saved bios settings, no in-os voltage or bclk control. Only had PScheck for overclocking." Matches my and everyone else's experience with DFI boards back when they were shiny and new. You're likely trying to set some super obvious setting that "greatest engineer ever" Oskar Wu never intended to be changed, but left in the BIOS anyway just for lolz.
  10. Most / nearly all retail Gulftowns had this issue where they'd fail SuperPI 1M at 500 MHz below 3D stable clocks on LN2. This is also why the A0 chips hold all top spots in SuperPI, despite not being best for outright clocks.
  11. No 4GHz+ scores for a decade, and now Maarten nearly breaks 4GHz on four (!) different 939 chips within a few months :D
  12. This is absolutely fucking insane. 20 years later 4GHz is finally broken on A64 outbinning Gianni, Philipp and Knut.
