I think the main thing this thread has proved so far is that no matter what HWBot do, it can never please everybody and somebody will be upset by something they do.

lovely CPU Brendan

Very nice CPU indeed, congrats!!!!

awesome CPU barebonenet, what mods did you do to the motherboard for this?

I can imagine so Sam. I've changed my focus to the E2140 for now and got myself 20 of them for now to test and hopefully another 30 next month.

what's the markings on the PCB for the PI? Is it a KO or ST? Edit : I'm dumb and blind. I see it's a KO.

You're getting pretty lucky with these 775 chips dude Very well done all the same

Not too shabby moose, well done

Awesome stuff as per usual mate

Oh yeah, was never denying it was any good on older platforms, just wanting to hear the case of cold hyper vs cold PSC for older platforms really

I mean I've got both types here and am getting myself a new ram pot too so will give them both a go, I don't expect to see Hypers being much better than PSC for clarkdale even when both are cold. But we shall see really

Well that wad the unknown for me really, how well do they actually perform with the cold and what sort of temp do they cold bug at???

True probably not needed, but 2200C5 is still better than 2200C6, and we're always looking for that last bit of performance anyway, if we weren't then we'd be following the wrong hobby

Well see I was thinking this but I have no idea how well Hypers perform cold (got a few kits of them anyway) Was just wondering more with AMD Phenoms and such really. Every AM3 CPU I've had can do CAS5 but not really tried at 1600MHz of course since I've not had a kit that could do it well on air. However, considering the speeds Bull has got out of his kit @CL5, has made me wonder what timings would be possible at 1600MHz. Surely 5-5-5-12 or something really crazy like that would be possible at full pot, or very close anyway

Awesome stuff dude!!! Close to being the first person ever to have over 3000 league points now too I believe.

Just purely out of curiosity, have you ever tried to push these kits at a lower frequency to see if they'd be viable to use on older platforms? For example lowest timings @2000MHz for say X58/X48 or 1800MHz for Phenoms? Would be interested to see what they could achieve.

best result for a genuine "stock cooler" I've seen I think

When you can remember off the top of your head the overclocking ability of 30ish E2160s just by looking at their batch numbers :L

This is a very nice CPU indeed, congrats on the score!!

I think you need your CPU-Z windows in the screenshots too for this to be valid

awesome score, but confused by the global points given??

3D mark Vantage coincided with Vista which was sorta the start of DX 10, if you look at it very long windedly

Where abouts in england you going to? Many nice places in the UK

The bugged rank one is every single score on the bot Edit : doesn't matter, didn't see it was fixed

Yeah basically this. Bit annoyed that PCMark has lost it's globals, not because I could care either way whether it had globals or not, but because we all voted to keep globals on PCMark and yet the admins just went and did whatever they wanted anyway. So much for a democracy.
