Great one. Now move to Sempron 145, because I need someone to push me go higher, there's more in my chip

The trick needs several tries. Try to hold the paperclip while you hit the power button or put it just after the start. I even managed to flash a DFI 790FX bios over the 990FXA-UD3 (had it on autoexec.bat on one of the usb sticks) But then revived the board with the same trick

Rofl, this is considered as the best FM2 board, I can't imagine how good are the others

Haha, that's clearly fake. You couldn't even cut the cpuz windows correctly. And where's your cpu tab? 3dmark windows is also cut at the bottom. Not to mention exactly same hardware and frequencies, same subtest scores. Common, do you think we are so stupid? It's so obvious... You will be banned shortly. Edit: The only thing you're right about. It's not photoshop, it's paint

Looking at global AMD 1M rankings it doesn't show my best Phenom II X4 965 result. Instead, it shows an older result Edit: After recalculation of my points and achievements it now shows a third score, but still not the right one.

Nice scores with 3870. I should revise mine.

Maybe I have #1 already, but it will fall short, I'm sure.

I could be just trolling this time, who knows Will have to wait for the next LN2 delivery for 32M, had a lot of troubles, but got it working at the end.

Not bad, I think. How is your board/cpu clocking ram? I have problems over 1200, but have tried BBSE only.

My info might be outdated, because I haven't checked that from a long time, but Z68 and P67 were more efficient with Sandy than Z77 last time I tried. Maybe Z77 bioses are now mature enough, because when I tried, it was some early MVF bios.

Put it on Z68 board

Not sure where I need to post this. I had problems with Gigabyte FA85X-UP4 - updated the main bios, restarted and tried to change some settings. Saved and restarted, then it was stuck at 84 code. Apparently, the main bios got corrupted (I guess during the flash process and trying to change some settings and save them triggered the bad block). Board was trying to load from backup bios, but what I got was just a blueish gradient screen with a gigabyte text. It seems the board didn't detect main bios is corrupted and that's why it didn't rewrite it with the backup bios. I tried different ram and cpu and what not, but didn't go further than that. Shortcut keys didn't work. So then I searched for the datasheet of the bios chips - MX25L6406E. According to the datasheet pin #7 is HOLD and pin #4 is GND, so I took one paperclip, shorted the pins and turned on the board. It booted and I released the short. Luckily it detected the main bios is corrupted and reflashed it with the backup. It might be useful for other people. This method should work for most of dual-bios Gigabyte boards.

Works in AHCI mode.

Anyone tried this combination of cpu, board and bios? I can't seem to increase the bus even 1MHz over default. If I change it in bios, board overclocking fails. When in windows it just freezes as soon as I hit apply in ET. Maybe the culprit is IDE/AHCI sata mode, but not sure...will try AHCI when I get back home.

Frank, you're still 3-4 seconds behind. Did you try the BDC tool? You have to set first option to Disable, then hit Apply.

My 24/7 chip is better than this. Have to sell this one and then will try one more, but doubt I'll ever see 8GHz. It just won't happen without massive binning and with these new chips the chance seems even lower.

No Stilt's Bulldozer Conditioner?

Kvelertak - Blodtørst Discovered these guys recently, don't know how I've missed that.

Yeah, really incomprehensible. I don't see what's the problem here. CPUZ shows core VID, not the actual voltage and even if it was the actual voltage, it might be possible to run 5.3GHz with 1.3V on LN2 full pot. Don't understand also why the score is questioned. It's horrible, yes, but how this invalidates it?

Damn it, what's wrong with these single chips? Dropped the stick on the floor and half of the chips were off already, so I had to check if I can remove them all. Failed!

Yes, cool contest, thanks! I have the boards and some mediocre cpus, but will play for fun. Let's see some records broken

W00t, 3rd places for AM3+ have $100+ higher values than the 2nd and for FM2 it is somewhere around 2nd places too

This is insane for a DDR3 board on air.

Hehe. I lost keyboard detection, so this is last I had saved, otherwise it did 515+. I was testing at 5MHz steps.

I'll check when I install it again, but I think it's due to the virtual machine mode. And I'm Linux noob
