Do you have a gigabyte Board? I've been able to boot 270-286 BCLK on x58a-oc and x58a-UD7.

stock vcore at 1.035 and cinebench 4.5 at 1.3 is pretty nice for ambient tbh, pretty sure I've only seen one better 45nm chips out of 40 or so.

CPU appears in QPI slow mode from the CPUz screenshot, any reason you have the board chilled? 260+ even on 45nm didn't require any extra cooling/voltage for my board. edit: Can you share the batch?

This CPU sucks on cold :(

Up. Taking offers

:D Congrats!

Fancy GPU colouring.

IDE when available, Sata when no other options. Which Sata Port didn't seem to matter on the x58a-ocs, though I've heard mentions that the ones from the other controller can take a little more. Everything disabled off course, I kinda take that for granted now.

Nope, I've found all x58a-oc boards I've had in my hands to be able to boot 136 MHz PCIe easily. The second x58a-oc actually booted 286 MHz BCLK on Dice. Edit: Nevermind, I'm blind

I have recently (over the past year) been binning boards and CPUs (as well as having others check their CPUs/boards) for maximum BCLK. With Setfsb, most decent Boards are comparable/not gonna be a limiting factor below 300 MHz BCLK, but bootable I ran into some issues on some of my otherwise best boards. Note that >118 PCIe only becomes necessery after ~261 MHz BCLK, so this will be irrelevant for most people. x58a-oc: max bootable 135-136, max in Setfsb ~138 (3 boards tested, comparable results) Rampage II Extreme: max bootable 118-120, max in setfsb ~138 (2 boards tested) Rampage III Extreme: max bootable 118/134, max in setfsb around 135/unknown (2 boards tested) Rampage III Formula: max bootable 118, max in setfsb currently unknown (2 boards tested) x58a-UD7 rev 1: max bootable 133, max in setfsb 135 (1 board tested) EX58-UD3R: max bootable 126, max in setfsb 127 (1 board tested, unmodded) x58 DK T3eH6: max coldbootable 115, max trainable 118, max in setfsb 119.8 (1 board tested) Testing procedure is basically upping PCIe until it no longer boots at ~1.4V or less ICH voltage (upping this to >1.5V brings 1-2 MHz, same for the related PCIe voltage) and then upping in setfsb using the highest bootable setting. All devices not needed disabled off course. If anyone has more boards to add to this list I would be glad. If there is a mod to Asus boards to up the max bootable PCIe clock that would be amazing, because for baseline BCLK they have been reliably higher then the Gigabyte Boards (both x58a-ocs were 2-3 MHz worse at ambient. On Dice I suspect that I was limited by the max bootable PCIe clock holding me back (286 Asus, 287 Gigabyte, note that the E5606 doesn't work on Gigabyte but generally seems 2-3 MHz better) Some boards appear to be able to train max PCIe or scale with ICH/ICH 1.5V Voltages, but those appear to be more of an exception. Thanks for the current state of the list goes to Jokot, Tagg, quiekmew, coldwove, Tapakah and T.Rex There is far more to x58 max BCLK, though it appears to mostly involve binning hundreds of CPUs.

It should absolutely be included in the rules because the information on this bug is really easy to miss since its buried deep by now. Problem is that there is a second, not broken 3:5 divider and its impossible to distinguish the two from what I could see.

825 MHz are mightily impressive with 0V

Thats the SPD tab or am I blind?

Hm, could be anything from BDSE/BDBG/BBSE or PSC, but can't disagree

Has anyone here had Hypers under Dry ice? Any issues with coldbug?

Number of cores active perhaps + no DDR4 HEDT?

Added Rampage IV Formula.

Looks like Hypers to me.

If I get around buying a memory pot I’ll most likely run it on dry ice. Will also try some more mounting pressure on the peltiers, maybe I can get to a little lower with this setup already. I also have a feeling I degraded the imc a bit with the high memory voltage, need to grab one of my remaining high memory clock capable chips for more testing...

Someone has done that on another chip

Even bad hypers like running a little colder 1002 MHz tRCD 6 (ignore subtimings & time - I was mainly testing the basic effect of running them at around 0°C (pair of peltiers cooling the RAM under a RAM block)

Nice seeing one of my reject CPUs still in use

Tbh, whats the worst that could happen to those specific repaired pins? They could burn (again), the board would end up looking like any other mocf afterwards. Gl with sale!

possible alternative

I'm a bit lacking in the high MHz platforms, but the kit Nox got from me did 2000 5-9-6 on an i5 750, surprisingly close to my RipjawsX kit which did 5-8-5 (with loose subs but still).
