People that are still benching 754-939 with xtreme cooling should have a clue (i guess) It wasn't such a big list anyway. I can't find my notes at the moment (must be stashed away in some board box with other stuff ... probably) and as always , i will find it when i wont be looking for it.

I asked about die temps , because you know how weird these E5 and E6 cores react with negative temps. No software monitoring. Many years back , when i was using extreme cooling , i remember i had to actively monitor realtime the die temp with an extra temp probe on the Fluke. We had temp probes with very thin wires , that you could navigate through the cpu pins. At the edge of stability , even a 2C temp difference had an impact on benchmarks. For example , at -8C die temp you could finish the run , while at -10C you were blue screening (temp related) cold bug. When using an SS it's very hard to hold the temps you need. I was never lucky enough to have a 754 or 939 cpu without a cold bug (and we didnt have a list of cpu steppings to have ... back then). What do you mean ? Evap temp will always be higher (colder) than die temp

-30C die temp or evaporator temp ?

What can i say. After so many years (in this hobby) , i thought i've seen it all. But ... i was wrong. Congrats for this awesome combo (board and cpu) and score !! Die temp ?

It would be very interesting to see something different this time (i mean other than the usual Athlon and Turion Mobile cores).

Top result !!

Sorry for the late reply , but i was away. I wanted to know how were they named , to look for them in my files.

Scotty How was it called ?

Scotty They should have the exact same memory support. https://www.x86-guide.net/en/cpu/AMD-Athlon-1640B-cpu-no2967.html https://www.x86-guide.net/en/cpu/AMD-Athlon-64-LE-1640-(Lima-512K)-cpu-no8087.html

I cant spot any difference between the Athlon 64 1640B and the Athlon 64 LE-1640 (the 512kb L2 version) https://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/575/AMD_Athlon_64_1640B_vs_AMD_Athlon_64_LE-1640_(L2_512KB).html

Bump for 2025

.... that's the "price" for not having a bios team next to you. You just have to do everything by your own and most of the times when you dont have a basic pattern or a ready basic template , you are just doing trial & testing.

I cant totally confirm or backup this ... but they claim that the 2nd gen M-dies (placed in 24GB sticks) are more easy on the imc part. At the end , you will always achieve what your imc can give you. From personal experience with random , low bin ram kits , both the A-die and the M-die got at the same top speed and similar settings , just my M-dies used a little bit less voltage.

Lets hope for a better year overall !!!

👍.

Big thanks to Alphacool and G.Skill for sponsoring the event !!!

Merry Christmas everybody !!!

8 minutes before the end of this year country cup ... and i'm still in doubt Are we sure the Aussies are not coming full power at the last minute ?

A score vanished from this stage https://hwbot.org/search/submissions/permalink?ids=5692789,5701941,5713701 The permalink shows 3 id's though.

If i may ask What was the idea behind this stage hardware limitations ? https://hwbot.org/competition/Country Cup 2024 - GPU/stage/5866_3dmark_-_solar_bay Why RTX4080 and RTX4070 is allowed , while the other cards of the same series are not ?

https://hwbot.org/submission/5707197_

What do we do , when a result (for unknown reason) did not uploaded in the stage of country cup ? In previous competitions (older GUI) we had a "participate" button.

As detailed as possible or as much as the admin options allow you. The header of each stage must also contain all the basic elements wanted. The descriptions : "stage by gpu" , "stage by gpu family" , "stage by cpu socket" , "stage by cpu core count" , "stage by cpu core" .... mean nothing to new users (and not only) There has to be a remark with explanations , in stage details or in limitations (wherever is possible).
