1. It really varies from board to board. The same CPU might do 650 32M air in one board, but fail 600 POST in another 650+ capable board. In my 14 years on 775 I couldn't figure this out, so I would normally just pick a dozen best MHz/volt cores on air, put all under LN2 and see what happens. 2/3. Do you expect to bench at 700 FSB with decent efficiency, or are you after the 750 FSB record? For the former, you would have to use Garbage Extreme or P5E3-Premium (P5E64-WS Evo can also be an option), but those generally don't go above 710-720 no matter how well you bin or cool the NB. For

I don't have any hardware anymore. I got rid of all of it

This E6750 makes things look way too easy, don't it?

Told you Rampage Extremes are garbage...

Same L731A that I sent you a while back?

10060227 or the '2009 sticks?

@bob Yes. It's quite an old/known issue for Intel LGA775 chipsets - when using strap 400, 2:3 is reported as 3:5 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?199241-3-5-divider-on-X38-P35-X48-P45-is-broken-is-2-3-in-reality-on-400-strap So if your score is strap 400, the real memory frequency is 761.2 MHz. You can also verify this by checking max clocks with any other divider/strap - should be around 760 MHz.

Careful with 3:5 on P45 :)

Nice to see you active again! Were you running 3:5 with strap 200 or 400? If it's the latter, there might be something you've forgot after all these years :)

5940 air?

Which model of beer did you use for this record?

Dat RAM clock

Now that's a big old-school achievement. Kudos on being the first!

If anything should raise questions here is the validity of wPrime as a benchmark. The damn thing only seems to scale on raw CPU clockspeed and number of cores, without much regard to its architecture.

I'm more amazed by Wrongsair 1GB DDR2 stick doing 700+

I guess the question is - does P45 IMC go any higher with 1GB Hypers compared to dual-ranked ones?

Never thought we'd ever see a D430 pushed above 5GHz, let alone "only" on cascade

Dat efficiency!

Let's pretend we didn't see all the recent AMD backups

Here's the HWBOT sub: https://hwbot.org/submission/2200362 and the discussion thread with a few videos: https://community.hwbot.org/topic/29175-tapakah-celeron-lga775-352-83089mhz-830894-mhz-cpu-z/ This chip was never mine, just a random purchase by K404. I think best of my own chips stopped around 8180-8200 ish.

I'd say that China is less of a hardware black hole compared to Warstein

Just casual 7.2GHz CPU for hardware points.

That preview picture is misleading for batch hunters And NO, rampage extreme is not better than P5E3-Premium.

Given a 6350 R15, FSB limited I guess?

Only in a form of that annoying friend who drinks beer and talks shit in the background while not contributing to scores at all
