Just based off of latest BIOS with 0x12F ucode now, but with the option to switch to 0x11F for some benchmarks. And then whatever else the 99xx bios have always added to differentiate for ln2 perf, but don’t think there should be anything.

G.SKILL only added SN to kits in later 2023, like week 30 or laterish

Got 5.88 to run but not with high ecore clock :D. Will share more info later

Also, again, this ruling only applies to unlocked CPUs. The 8300G and 8500G are both locked for core OC.

Actually realized this wasn’t my best score, this one is :D https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/cinebench_-_r23_multi_core_with_benchmate/submissions/5870106 But definitely way over 1kW, probably around 1400

It has the same amount of cache, but has “fake” AVX512

Need me to make a modded bios that would actually show that for you? 😂 So impressive that you've gotten 8900 to work on multiple chips with that, still haven't figured it out here haha.

Anything less than 9000 cl28 on this socket hurts me now 🥲

Disappointed I couldn't get 7.8 to run, imc could do 9130 just fine. But pic added anyway :D

Yeah it was really hard, geekbench locked up the system completely and i spent an hour torching before I ran 7Z because it was easier. I know I degraded my chip running x265 4k (only to lose to ryzen shortly after), but I don't think I degraded it by 90mV and lower clock still than last time. Does your chip have "SA Bug"? Mine does, which gets significantly worse with all cores enabled. More than 1.1v SA acts horribly(ambient, ln2 sometimes needs even less, down to 1v), while for superpi and pyprime I can get away with a little extra. My 14900KF before didn't care about SA and was a lot easier to run MT on. I couldn't even run cinebench reliably with all cores on this chip. Ambient XMP doesn’t load windows lol

Binned the two sticks I got as a prize from the qualifier with all auto voltages for 1 boot attempt each, along with the one stick I already had. (The other stick I already had fails to boot below -90), maybe 2 minutes of binning combined this morning. I was just super ready to bench LN2 again, as I've been super busy with school, and my last session was for OCWC where I tried mem valid for the first time on ln2 on this platform with only 50 minutes before I had to go to class, so that session was cut pretty short lol.

Result hidden? Wanted to see what setup you were running :D

You need to run non-updated windows 8.1, later updates on win 8.1 and win 7 break it
