Crucial Ballistix Tactical, I think.

You should consider changing the IV (4; four) in the title to VI (6; six) PS: Oh, I was late.

- Massman - Massman - Massman wait for it - Massman Do I get a free cookie now?

No ROG boards in Bulgaria as always. Will have to wait 2-3 weeks, I suppose. Gene is listed at 230 euro (without 20% VAT), but not available yet.

I want it, too. Can't download it from playstore while at work and it would be interesting to reverse-engineer it

Awesome, you're bringing Piledriver to a whole new level! Noone was interested in benching 15h for Pi, but now it would be interesting... Oh, and Insomnium:

What do you expect? He waited a whole 3 hours and noone responded. This is unacceptable!

You nailed it, nice! Don't think I can match that frequency.

Yes, he really deserves. I don't know any other overclocker that understands and knows these platforms so well. Good job, waiting for more impressive stuff

CPU-Z 1.60 is bugged and in which world Deneb/Callisto can handle DDR3-2400+

Honestly, PRO OC Cup was not interesting for me and I'm an extreme overclocker. What about "normal" people that the cup is supposed to attract into overclocking, was it interesting for them? I don't think so. It's like "watching" a car race (F1, DTM or whatever) on the live-timing only and not the actual race where you see the cars. And the Pro OC is not even live. the live thing is very hard/impossible to achieve in a long-term competition, so I don't think current way of doing it will change anything. Well ok, I've checked some of the scores which popped up on the front page, but that's all - there's no difference between this and old scores that were posted from members of Pro OC League. Allowing/disallowing ES chips in Pro OC Cup - it almost doesn't matter to me, it only matters to those pro overclockers that don't have access to ES hardware. Both ways Pro OC is out of reach for ordinary overclockers like me and I prefer it this way - pros are pros. Just hypothetically - even if you ban ES, that won't change the game. I still won't stand a chance against a binned retail out of 600+ cpus. I must have a huge luck to buy such a cpu from the store . Just my 50 cents.

Have you tred -20°C/-25°C for 1М?

Cores would be on the positive side of the temperature scale when loaded properly. No wonder they die with 2.2V @ -120C. Plus VRMs inside are not making it colder.

All these have CB? And what about CBB? That would explain the lower frequencies, even if they scale with excessive volts.

Interesting information, thanks. Yes, I have that issue with UP4. I was able to load Win7 at 111MHz bclk no problem, but with XP @ AHCI I should go down to 105 or so, then raise the bclk from Windows. Had to do the same with Win7 on IDE mode. So in fact PCI-E frequency is equal to BCLK when Mux not enabled (Gigabyte case)? I've used 120+ BCLK in the past, but don't remeber what sata mode and it was definitely a lower mem divider.

This is where I bought last time: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360433118300?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Couldn't find any other affordable probes which can go down to -196. Keep in mind that these are kind of low quality and every piece reads temperature differently, but still usable for LN2. You cac bin them if you buy several PS: Oh, nevermind... I misread the title (facepalm)

Yes, here it is: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30576042/2A85XUP4.F3i I have it from the last CountryCup. Noticed other guys were running that version, but we couldn't find it anywhere, so I asked Massman and he was nice to share it. Honestly I didn't see any difference in performance. By the way, I don't even know what is CLK Mux and what it is related with

Is the limit still the same on LN2? I've never used more than 1.4V on LN2, because it didn't seem to help with NCLK.

Damn it. Just realized that the videos are not correct. I'm running Pi on second core from the first module and I didn't show its frequency. This means another video...

Generally, 890FX boards are the way to go, but there are some exceptions. 990 boards are optimized for Bulldozer/Vishera. While it may not slow you down in cinebench, it definitely will in pi/pifast.

Mine does 6.55-6.6 for Pi 1M, so it's not that good, but it's an old chip that I used 24/7 before and I have no other cpu for this category. It has a great IMC though. All CPUs I have are bought retail from the store. If I want to bin a certain model, I have to do it the hard way - buy a cpu or 2 (depending on the price), test, sell rejects, buy another cpu next month and so on...

What backup with SS cooling? No, I always upload my highest score at the time. If I had LN2 result, I'd have uploaded it. This CPU was/is great on air/water, but doesn't scale very good with LN2 temps.

Video 1 - The end of a normal run, slightly slower than my previous results. Btw I have 18:400 somewhere on the ssd. Not sure if you can see something. Had to compress both videos and Youtube compressed them further. This video also shows that "One does not simply restart a Gigabyte board" Video 2 - full run, bad wazza and cpuz opened all the time. 3 seconds slower.

Turbo is disabled. Will make a video of a whole run if my camera battery is up to it.
