You can find good D9 even in low-binned stuff. For example this is Crucial value ram without heatsinks and rated 800 6-6-6 1.8V: http://hwbot.org/submission/2306681_i.nfrar.ed_3dmark03_geforce_fx_5900_xt_9438_marks Less than 2.5V if I recall. Chips are D9GKX. 2.1V is your limiting factor though, 4-3-3 would be more realistic, unless you bin a lot of D9.

Ok, then is it really limited to AM2 only or AM2+ processors are also allowed? Such as Agena (first generation Phenom).

No, you can't. You can run AM3 CPU in AM2/AM2+ motherboards, because AM3 CPUs have DDR2 controllers. AM3+ CPUs can be used only in AM3+ boards and older AM3 with proper bios support. For example Asus Crosshair IV Formula is AM3, but supports AM3+ CPUs with certain beta bioses. AM3 CPUs are up to Phenom II/Thuban. Pure AM2 boards support AM2 CPUs only, which means Athlon 64/Athlon 64 FX and these are similar to s.939 CPUs. Socket AM2+ boards support both AM2 and AM2+ and with bios update - the newer AM3 CPUs, but limited to X4. Thuban is not supported on AM2+ boards or I haven't seen such a board with bios support for X6. This is incorrect, some AM2+ with updated bios support all AM3 CPUs, including Thuban. AM2 is the successor of s.939 and this round should be limited to X2 6400+ Windsor F3 being the fastest of the stack. Or basically K8 micro-architecture. Looking at hwbot database though, X2 7750 and X2 7850 (and others from this family) are incorrectly listed as AM2, while they are AM2+ (K10, Kuma core). Also the infamous "newer" X2 5000+ and X2 5200+ which were in fact locked Denebs and some of them even unlocked to X4. They are listed under the AM2 category in hwbot database, which is again not correct.

And I will start earlier than some hours before the end when I found my 9800 Pro does not work Good job everyone.

Several hardware-related stores sell Dimastech stuff (caseking for example). Maybe contact them and ask about some cooperation. They should have a way to contact him. HWBOT should be able to do something too, since they had Dimastech as a sponsor for the World Tour. Not sure what would be the response, but worth trying, I think.

This one has the same stepping as my XP-M 2500+. With that low vcore doing 3.2GHz+, it should be very decent once pushed to the max. I would say it is rare to see XP-M 2800+ that good...

This CPU has great potential!

cpc on, cpu on agressive, no wazza, totally broken windows.

Mine worked at 3.7V VDIMM for some time without problems. And my NF7-S boards have always worked at 3.6 - 3.7V, but I think NF7-S is more reliable than DFI Ultra-B.

I have maybe 10 dead s.A boards, but some of them were DOA, so I haven't killed them all on my own Don't even remember how I killed some of them, but... NF7-S due to leak from the waterblock, one or two from dead SB/NB and one from vtt=vref mod (v0.51 I think). I have 3 NF7-S still working though and they all are v0.53. One DFI Ultra-B due to high VIO, but it had problem with VDIMM mod from the beginning. One Soltek SL-75FNR2 for unknown reason. Have 2 AN7, but one was DOA, the other one still going strong. I use this AN7 to install windows from USB stick, then move to NF7-S for benching

That LCD shows voltage on 3.3V rail.

The problem with my Ultra B was that conventional vdimm mod didn't work either.

I don't see a way for 282 1:1 and tight timings (BH-5) though It's not so easy even with s.939. Will fix windows later, however I think the other board is dead (the one without capacitor between 2 FETs to the mem slots) from the high 3.3V rail. It was behaving the same with just vdimm mod. So maybe it is good to be extra careful if your infinity is the same.

Leave just 2 cores on and crank that NB up (disabling cores helps for higher NB clock).

No, he wants the scores on the front page, then disables points after they are not considered as new top scores anymore and get dropped from that table. Nice trick

All my 3 DFI Ultra-B can do at least 268-270MHz DC 1:1. 282 will be hard though.

Ok, then 282x8.5

Go for 266x9 btw, one of my Ultra-B's can't handle the VDIMM mod and the only difference is that there's no smd capacitor between 2 FETs close to the memory slots. Unfortunately this is the board that does highest FSB without mod. The other 2 boards have it but all of them should do 266 easily. Actually it will be the first time to use one of my Ultra-B's for competitive benchmarking. I've always preferred NF7-S, because I love that board and also have self-modded bioses for it

I wanted to try 311 2-2-2-5 on LN2 for second stage, but first I thought comp ends at midnight and then I woke up too late

Strong? This is awful First antifreeze leaked from the chiller on the carpet. Then gpu block was not seated properly and GPU temp was very high. The GPU mod worked up to 1.7V only, had no time for mem mods on the VGA and VDIMM mod on the board. The thermocopule of the pot broke. There was some throttling in GT1, I suspect the board. Two runs... And of cource no time for stage 2.

Yes, it is still a joke. I believe it will start on 15th this month, but we can't be sure... There's no "official" statement.

TeamCup 2015 will be held in 2016

Ok, my bad, it's higher than 3.7V according to bios. Sorry for video quality, it looked much better on the camera screen and I'm out of battery and SD card space...

Well, I can do 275+ at about 3.5V, plus the timings at 280 were not that tight. 3.9 is ok for me, just doesn't help in this situation . IIRC, I've memtested some of the sticks at 270 3.2-3.3V, but don't remember with which CPU.

I will definitely try LN2, but not now. Will have to test some different CPUs and hook up the chiller on the CPU to see if it makes any difference. @TASOS: ~3.7V, but they've seen 4V before. I tried up to 3.9 now, but didn't help on any of the sticks, so I suspect CPU/board.
