Remove the backplate and stick a fan on it, it makes a big difference in VRM temps. Also add the REG_DWORD "DisableWorkstation" with value "1" in the Registry where the driver is located, it will enable full OC/UV control of the gpu just like a standard Vega card.

It's just a novelty sub for fun because I already had it on the bench. I'll probably try again with decent hardware if no one else get's to it.

This is what I used with my 6320, 1.31. Idk if you can just flash it normally or if it requires an eeprom programmer though.

I did some more testing and it's definitely the board limiting fsb, tried numerous cpu's I had around but none got any further. NB volts & VTT do nothing to help, played with the GTL's and PCIE freq also. Seems like something behind the scenes is stopping it, hangs on post code 1P (which is nothing) which is just prior to 51 (Allocating resources to the PCI bus). Sometimes gives a memory error so maybe the 5:4 mem strap is doing it, maybe I need FB-DIMM's that can do 450MHz+ @ 1:1.

I bought an X5260 E0 to try, maybe it'll help. Regardless this is far better than my other board which stopped at 415 FSB.

I have a Flare 2000C9 set dated 1042, think it's XED (or similar) on ST pcb, haven't actually checked though for risk of damaging them. They don't clock quite as well as my XDT based 2000C9 Trident's so that's why I assume they're XED or some other later X-series IC. Could just be by chance though.

Skulltrail doesn't actually do too bad if your comparing dual quads vs 4c/8t Nehalem, it will actually score a fair bit higher in Cinebench and the like according to my old subs. Although the memory config does slow it down in memory heavy programs so it's a bit more even then. Skulltrail is also Quad channel FB-DIMM not Dual and having only 4 slots isn't really an issue since it can use 4GB or even some 8GB FB-DIMM's.

Have you tried just using VoltageFactory to set the voltage? It should work with that card and ignore the protections IIRC.

Yup, still going strong albeit a bit worse for wear. Might try to use dice on it instead sometime to try for 670+fsb, almost got a valid for 665.

First off you have to use Windows 7 (or XP) for all AMD CPU's and pre-Skylake Intel CPU's unless your using the aforementioned Benchmate program. Your scores do look to be pretty low but I think it's a bloated OS issue more than anything hardware related. You also need to fix your screenshot's, the scoring window along with the render need to be in full view and unobstructed and CPU-Z CPU & Memory tabs also need to be in the screenshot. Something like this,

People said the same the first time around, yet look what happened. ?

Stick with Intel for 3D benching, Ryzen is pretty much useless for it except for maybe Fire Strike or Time Spy especially since it cannot run Win XP for legacy benches. Plus Ryzen lags behind by a lot if the bench only runs single-threaded GPU test's like Vantage. A decent 8700K is a good choice without breaking the bank plus you can use it for some proper Win XP SPi 32M when you don't feel like doing 3D.

Cool, I was just curious. I'll try to play in a couple stages with my ple133t board.

Why are Intel chipset's not allowed though? Is there some specific reason for it?

I had a go with PCIE freq on my Evga E770 and was able to boot and load into the OS @ 130MHz using the Marvell SATA ports. Didn't try higher since it's not really necessary. Also did about 250MHz BCLK with my X5687.
