Y'all afraid to drop an offer?

@l0ud_sil3nc3What did your CB reject 5950Xs do ambient? Also, were they retail?

Are your Vermeer chips retail?

All prices here include PayPal fees and shipping within the US! Links to screenshots embedded within the post. 1. F4-4133C17D-16GTZR This is the superb set from Websmile, "kit 17". I have tested it for 4800c14 1.87v and 4933c14 1.95v, likes 0.95vtt. Very reliable bench set, also very strong for daily according to him. Lowest voltage for 4800 and 4933 I've ever seen. I personally think this has strong potential for Geekbench cold. 2. F4-4000C15D-16GVK Not pretested, lucky roll. I have tested it for 4800mhz 14-13 1t 2.0v. This set has a couple interesting properties of its own. I have also found that this set is very temperature sensitive. Also, it will naturally run RTLs one tighter than normal (4800c14 2t works with 58/59/8/8 vs 59/60/8/8 all my other sets) and property translates to daily as well. The only other people who I've seen so far that have B-Die with this property are Miller and Loud, though more may exist. I personally think it has potential for SuperPi cold. 3. Strong 8700K Delidded with LM, bought from a guy in Thailand, a while ago. Original owner quick tested 54 core 48? cache passing R20 with 1.32v load on strong water. I've tested 54 core 52 cache passing GB3 at 1.35v load, although I was on a Z390 Dark and just a Scythe Fuma 2 with cheapo paste. IMC is very solid, 4800c14 needed 1.45io/1.5sa, 4933c14 could cold boot and work with headroom. I would not be surprised if this chip did >6.8 R15. Prices: 1. $450 $435 $425 $415 sold to @ironbrillopad for $385USD 2. $300 $285 $275 $265USD 3. PM Me, looking to find a Vermeer processor for benching. Will also sell but prefer trade. If you have any offers/trade requests, feel free to PM me I am able to ship outside the US if needed.

I don't have much yet, more posts will follow. Bios A.05O: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11b96620j1yIy-8OiQXhsFW25czHiC3PI/view?usp=sharing Should allow for vdimm >2.0 and other fun. Not sure about AGESA version, will check when I can get back to my board.

@GoodhomealabamaPMing about something unrelated

@Goodhomealabamawould you take an SP 96?

Would you take a strong 8700k?

New OCers ftw

Congratulations team MSI! Rock on, 7g!

Yes, works in OS

I would say 1.07 or 1.08

@Mr. Fox Can you download from this link?

https://mega.nz/file/l090kCaa#7ldqpiXzG5HUVGLWa9CIXw_UrIRBPa7Fsn0Ds-qriEw Here's my bench OS.

@Masterchief79 The winraid forums may be a better resource.

@Leeghoofd Would an MSI B550 Unify-X motherboard be legal to use in this competition? I will not be using a Vermeer processor, older one.

@noizemaker Figured that if nobody bought your chip you may as well have some more fun with it?

Update again: 1.06 and 1.07, both with and without microcode. The difference with these from previous is: Hidden Items can now be made visible. Not entirely sure if it's relevant for benching, but it's definitely interesting to look around at. I'll be using them. 1265383025_Z490DarkBiosPackage.7z

Swapped OS and got some really good results. I'll upload it here.

Stage 2 starting 1st of May PYPrime 2B with max CPU freq at 5005MHz, ambient cooling benchers only from Rookie, Novice and Enthusiast !!!

Bios 1.06 is more efficient for benching than bios 1.07. Evidence: Bios 1.06 received_2288275947972635.webp Bios 1.07 received_353253845739500.webp I would recommend only using 1.07 for 2x16 right now. 1.08 modded is coming soon, need to do testing first.

news from @wagipon Performance at 4766 with 0088 was beating performance at 4800 on 0804 Both bioses not modded

Not exactly what this 0804 bios is for, but I've seen @wagipon get 4800 14-13 2x16 with it. I believe other users have gotten it working on other bios versions. Here is a microcode/ucode removed version, have fun and please post results! 0804-no-ucode.CAP Don't forget to use the "patch_cml_ifnoucode.exe" on login for ratios to work properly, also strongly recommend disabling c-states and using manual vcore. It's available for download on the first page. This should be better for SPI and overall scores, version with microcode should be better for Geek 3 mem score and maybe one/two other specific use cases.
