Great cpu . Keep pushing. I can't even validate 5.8 with my 140.

It's ok.

The good batch is on the way to Bulgaria, that's why you're getting the rejects. Still no info which batch it is though, have to wait at least until 10th

Next time 6.6+ GHz with the "main" cpu (hopefully, given the fact I have CB15 at 6.65 with it). I just had to test this one on LN2 to see if it is good enough. Affirmative

Would a non-pro/noname overclocker like me have the chance to receive AB Extreme for class A? Last time I tried, MSI told me to download regular AB.

Ok, but what would separate us would be just a titke of the league, or a color. Nothing stops "non-pro's" to use current gen ES anymore. Yes, they will be pushed to elite, but then what that changes? - Norhing, just the title/color. So I would say that's a pretty valid point being raised here.

That "another week" is in the sense of a note left on the door of a small store, which says "I am back in 15 minutes" Whenever you look at it it always says "in 15 min" Yet another week will pass and people will temporary forget about it. Next month someone will remember and start the discussion again. Staff will "discuss" it for the 235th time and nothing will be changed

My reseller said it would probably be available around 10th here, but it's not 100% sure.

They are looking at it again. It will take another week of discussion

I should have more in the tank, will test soon

My adata does not scale with cold and voltage. Max I can use is 3.1-3.2. At 3.3 I have blue screens.

Same for me. I need order it from Europe, because normal shipping from Asia would take the whole month and I don't want to pay for expensive expedited shipping. On top of that I will most ptobably have to pay customs fees, VAT, etc.

What batch? Given the timeframe for qualifiers, I would not have a choice for different batches. The one that will be imported will have the same batch for all cpus and we will have to wait for another one, when it will be not sure if it will be available before the qualifiers end. Plus I can't buy many cpus, probably 3 max at a given time, then need to sell them quick to get some more (if available in the stores).

No chance in Class B for guys like me or you. Not underestimating your skills, but it would require cpu binning, which means one thing - money. And class B is global, which lowers our chances even further. Class A seems easier, but is much more expensive, at least on paper. I might try this year, but haven't decided yet. Plus hardware availability for these components is not existent in Bulgaria. The cpu will probably be available some time next month (if I manage to get one from the first delivery), but the mobo needs to be ordered from abroad. No Lightning either, if I choose class A.

Broadcom or Allwinner? Latest Allwinner is supposed to be very good, but it's octacore. PS: My best bet would be latest Rockchip, which might be good in this benchmark.

There you go again with your "awesome" scores. You must be kidding... Other people are getting 600-700MHz and you're getting 3GHz, don't you think there's something wrong? Even if you don't fake it on purpose, its a common sense ffs!

Common, 3-7-7-15? It really needs CAS 3 to go that high, but other timings could be "tight" without any impact and you have only 3 more MHz to the maximum.

Nature subtest is bugged.

My bench SATAIII SSD died while running kabini @ 134MHz FSB . It's really the SSD and not the controller, because it is not detected on my main machine too. No way to copy the scores either.

Ok, thanks and good luck!

I can sell you my passport. Noone else from Bulgaria will try to compete, so you only have to beat other EMEA guys. Simple, eh? The price won't be low, though... better spend the money for binning

Why not work directly with the author and avoid creating additional complications/bugs with a wrapper? I guess he could easily modify the ui to suit hwbot needs, then only that version would be allowed.

Why the special high price? EVGA site has it at 59 epower + 89 evbot, although evbot seems unavailable atm. I'm interested, but not for that price Do you sell evbot only and what would be the price?

Great! NX-1250 would be unbeatable for % OC in this stage. Hopefully I can find one until the end of the competition.

How high do 1250's clock? Given its 667 stock frequency and B0 Thoroughbred core, it should be a killer for this stage, even if it doesn't hit 3GHz.
