wPrime could also work for globals

I see that in your case the Fujitsu cap looks damaged. In my case it looks perfectly fine. Is there any way to "test" it so that the soldering work is not done for nothing?

Random thought: did anyone ever notice the difference in OC between different mainboards of the same model on this platform?

Just for lolz - you can run Cinebench R15 with five CPUs at stock, get 32nd place (below this guy) and collect your globals ... with friggin' Pentium Pro

Awesome! Will this board also work with less CPUs installed?

The only capacitor the board has in chipset PWM is the infamous Fujitsu that tend to self-destruct over time. I don't have any soldering equipment capable of tackling one so if anyone would be willing / able to give me a hand, I'd be more than happy to ship the board over.

Over the last few years, the board has been on LN2 about a dozen times and every 2-3 sessions it would arrive in a state where it would shut down and no longer react to the power button. The only way to get it back to work was putting it in a 120c oven for 10 minutes or so. However, after its most recent breakdown + ovening it now exhibits the following behavior: - With Seasonic Titanium 1000W: no reacton to power button at all - With Corsair AX1500i: it powers up, but shuts down before it completes POST - With Silverstone OP1000: it powers up and works perfectly fine. But, if I set the Vmch to any value other than [Auto] in the BIOS, the board shuts down during POST with a OCP/OVP-like click coming from somewhere in the chipset PWM area. If I boot into OS at [Auto] value and raise the Vmch using the TweakIT thingy - system works fine, even handles LinX load with a quadcore. If I adjust the BIOS settings so that the [Auto] value no longer induces the default ~1.25V, I get the same shutdown on POST. Also, the same happens when I set the "EPU Phase Control" option in the BIOS from [Auto] to [Extreme]. But this might be due to [Auto] option for Vmch changing. I tried ovening it some more. I tried flashing other BIOS version. I tried a BIOS chip from another board. I tried different kinds of CPUs. Nothing seems to help and I'm out of ideas. Any advice / help is welcome.

dat FSB

They should have an Intel vs AMD comp where Intel's times will be multiplied by 1.5x. Might be very interesting :D

I'd agree with ground that an eVGA 4-way board would not be an overclocker's top pick simply because it's fragility ... but the same also means that most of these boards have died over time and there are very very few left, so in collectors' eyes those might be worth quite a lot. I've recently seen R3B boards change hands for around 150 a piece. Given that eVGA E762 is much rarer (and to some, cooler) you might as well price it at 200 and see what happens. If we use an M3F as a proxy to price the M3E, then from German eBay we see that in the last few months M3Fs changed hands for 29, 69, 97 and 185 Euros. Again, you might as well start at something like 120 for M3E and lower it if you see no interest. As for P55 Classified - I am totally out of ideas. For same reason as X58 boards, these are primarily collectors' rather than overclockers' boards so price mainly depends on your ability to find someone with a sentiment for eVGA.

I had similar experience .. and yet, with PP (time * cpu clock) of 4159743, this score done on C5F is third-most efficient sub-11min 32M time on Deneb that I know of (behind Gyrock's 4152570 on C3F and Infrared's 4133136 on GA970)

DHL shipping to France is 10 Euros, so the total would be 40 Euros.

I don't test for raw frequency since it requires high voltages that damage the sticks. So I don't really know if any of the kits are any good for raw clocks.

Someone give this dude LHe and 2100+ 12-11-11 mems. Let's see sub-4 happen

What happened with the chip I sold you with the P5E3-Prem last year?

Ace of old scarfs never sells

offers welcome

720 on single stage is fucking amazing. If board has headroom, you might actually crack the WR on LN2.

Did cold help with 32M stability on RAM, Boris?

Germans bringing the heavy artillery :D But your cooling should be the other way around - for highest HTT on 939 you need your NB cold and CPU as warm as possible.

Not anymore.

Added a Biostar TPower I45, a single stage and a dewar.

Welcome to the 700MHz X48 club! :)

Bump. Prices reduced.

bump, merged all my sales threads into one
