  1. 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.

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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. :)

  6. Nice score, very impressive. :)

     

    I wonder why HDD usage is so slow and Viruscan fly...

     

    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. :)

  7. 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.

  8. I removed it with a big screwdriver ... BTW i didnt care to break it because the CPU was allready dead. Between DIE and ihs, there is some thermal paste.

     

    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.

  9. forget extreme tuning. Right now please use Easytune6,. it is fully functional as far as I am concerned.

     

    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.
