This is not a TC stage ;)

Nice1!

How is 47 x 256 = 6 GHz?

How is 47 x 256 = 6 GHz?

I killed tons of hardware with LN2 yet never a problem with BIOS flashing - I must be doing something wrong?

Thanks for all the time you spent investigating this! ? It would be funny to submit a bug report with AMD just to see their reaction. Are you using Win 7 64-bit SP1, AMD SDK 2.91 and GPUpi 3.2 non-legacy with HPET off?

How many duds did you have to bin through to get this one?

I am interested in the OCF if you choose to unbundle

Impressive!

Payment received. Thread can be closed

Nice!

Where was the CB/CBB on this chip?

Only letting this one go because my board refuses to post Sky-X chips now Fine with Kaby-X for some reason. You can find all my subs with this chip here, this was from my first ever cold session on Sky-X and also my first session on CBed chip so there is for sure some room to squeeze out more MHz. 400 euro + shipping from Australia

Any CB/CBB issues on this board?

Active cooling on the NB for this one?

I thought the conventional wisdom was closest slot = shortest traces = highest MHz but your explanation also makes sense, thx.

Why pick this slot? I'm just asking, I have no idea about memory binning lol

By the way OVP = NIB. OVP is German, some ppl here may not speak it

Verrry nice

There's life left in the old lady

Maybe not idea testing conditions as I am only on air at the moment but the slow AGESA fluctuated 104 - 105W at the wall throughout the run while the faster one was 108 - 109W. For reference, idle power draw is 43W.

Epic

Ok, this discussion has gone on for quite some time now. Although I appreciate @_mat_'s techinical discussion and @mickulty's help in getting him a board, finding the exact root cause of these speed differences will only help for future versions of GPUpi, not for this competition. Therefore the more urgent need in my mind is a for a final moderation decision for this stage. There are 3 possibilities, some more realistic than others: Allow only slow AGESA versions in the competition Allow all AGESA versions in the competition scrap the stage Since people have already bought hardware specifically for this stage, I don't think 3) is a good option. That leaves 1) and 2). 1) has a higher moderation overhead, since mod(s) will have to look at the motherboard tab of every submission in this stage. 2) has a lower moderation overhead and the added benefit of making in-competition submissions competitive with submissions outside the competition. If 1) is picked, we could have a submission on air 1 day after the competition that is faster than an LN2 submission inside the competition. Having someone with a F1A75-V PRO or F1A75-M LE flash back to the oldest BIOS and test it would help here as it would give us enough confidence that this is not a Gigabyte-specific thing (however unlikely that may be). TBH after that I'd suggest moving this whole discussion into the GPUpi development thread.. there are 7 more stages to talk about in the DDR3 subcategory! ?
