I.M.O.G.

My experience on the first chip...

SR0PL Batch# L206A973 5.72GHz at 1.75V would do wp32 and wp1024. Trouble getting into windows at 5.8GHz, though with more time/voltage I believe it could do it. http://hwbot.org/submission/2279683_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2279684_ Cold boot bugs at -85C at the base of the pot, cold bugs around -115C at the base of the pot (my current temp probe reads -180 when dipped in LN2, so actual readings on probe were -75C/-105C). Tested CPU PLL from 1.7V to 1.95V (default read 1.812 in BIOS). Tested bclk from 105-110, trouble getting higher bclk to post. Tested CPU voltage from 1.0V to 1.75V. None of these items, with or without LN2 mode enabled on the MVG, made any difference at all upon the cold bug behavior of this particular chip from what I found. I did not test RAM. Really only tested cold bug behavior, and once I found I couldn't work around it with anything I was trying, I didn't want to press the chip any harder - it will be sold. Looking to get another from a different store (and hopefully different batch) in the next week or two.

FWIW, I think its good to see people asking questions when something might look suspicious. It makes me more confident that people are paying attention, and that more often than not the game will be played fairly - or the baddies will be caught. Shame on anyone who bashes people for asking questions, especially when things look pretty questionable... That sort of behavior doesn't help a community grow.

My chip ran out of gas around there I think Steve. I thought it was the mainboard, but then I switched to a board that can do known higher FSB, and it didn't go any further. Don't feel bad about killing Sempy's. They are cheap and easily replaced... Reminds the chips who is boss. Good job.

I.nfra.red: RB meant the quick fix on his end was clearing the server cache (I think)... If he meant clear the browser cache, I've also found the browser cache makes no difference.

Good stuff!

Thanks Don Dan! Pretty exciting, as our team has been through a lot not that long ago (lost a lot of members to PURE). We've grown into our own again over the past year though, and I think we're as strong as we've ever been. Top 10 is going to be tough to hang onto until we get some 3770K's though. Our guys are waiting for domestic retail in the US mostly, and the competition around here is nuts. A lot of teams flirting around 25K points!

Nice job Steve!

Back in action for me as well now. 2 nights in a row between 10PM EST and 4AM EST it seems like something is going on - I'll post back if I notice problems again tonight.

Yes Good job Dennis, completely agree with Steve on single core - its tough. Especially to get a good virus scan in light of the MTT3 slowing it down. I tested a lot with Areca and onboard RAID. Modded raidrom bioses and all that jazz. I put a lot of time into PCM05 single core, and I mean a lot, and on LN2 not phase. Fortunately these chips just sip the LN2... This was near the end of my flurry of PCM05 activity, and it made me very ready for a PCM05 break. Nearly drove me crazy.

Wow

I get the same result on any team page actually. Just blank, and the main navigation is missing dropdown fields too. Just me?

What gives now? Trying to view my team page (I get the same thing if I open an icognito window and visit without cache/logging in): [ATTACH]1243[/ATTACH]

It puts the tweaks in, or else it gets the hose again!

Yes, its finding tweaks for our team. He works from our basement, we give him food and water daily, and let him outside once a week.

Saw the same problems with memory dropdown field. I just skipped the dropdown box for memory and filled out the other fields.

Nice score, very impressive. HDD gen usage is pretty straight forward. Only way to do fast HDD Gen Usage is caching... hardware ram cache, fancycache, or ramdrive. If there isn't hardware ram cache in the users setup but the score is very big, then its not done within hwbot rules. Virus scan is much more challenging - it depends on the honor system primarily (in my opinion). Scores similar to this can be done with 2 SSDs in Raid0 (I've seen 2000 first hand, I've seen others do higher this way) - and several other legitimate ways. Scores like this can also be done on a single SSD using methods not permitted by hwbot. There are a lot of ways to get very high virus scan, several not good ways indecipherable from honest ways. Fortunately, I think most everyone wants honest scores and is straightforward about their storage setup, and that is why we are seeing so much pushing the scores up. When people see progress, and understand (mostly) how its done, it makes more people jump in.

Can't view league rankings, no error, pages just don't load. Same for team or user. Also getting 3d01 ranking when I try to view the superpi1m rankings.

I had a problem where 2 of my submissions were getting HTPP, then massman fixed it for me. However, I hold the hardware cpuz record for fx-6100: http://hwbot.org/submission/2221993_i.m.o.g._cpu_frequency_fx_6100_7744.01_mhz And so does this guy, except his frequency is lower and he's getting more HTPP than me: http://hwbot.org/submission/2217579_blue_storm_cpu_frequency_fx_6100_7652.51_mhz Also, when I search for fx-6100 in the top right of hwbot, it shows up in the results twice.

I thought intel CPUs had used a fluxless solder between die and IHS in recent years: http://www.google.com/patents/US7009289?printsec=description#v=onepage&q&f=false Are you saying its just paste between the IB die and IHS now? If so, I'd expect improvements in air/water benching by popping the IHS and cooling the die directly.

Easytune has a terrible reputation. I haven't used it on Intel, but on AMD, its reputation was well deserved. Flakey, crashes, and basically unusable for extreme/subzero overclocking. Is it miraculously better now on IB? I doubt it.

At least submit the 60K backup, or don't you want to be the first to break 60K on hwbot? Maybe you are generous, allowing someone else the opportunity! Nice score, interesting text edit subtest... I haven't seen anyone tweak for that any time recently.

Dice would help a lot! These chips are fun on cold, they are just like PHII basically, but they are such low power stability is pretty good to work with. I have seen you have been really busy submitting, but when you get around to it, don't forget to unlock and run the multicore benches on this sucker too!

Impressive, well done!

Thank you.
