I need to verify if all cores were indeed running at 8 GHz or if it's a CPU read-out error. I was using Turbo V Core and @elmor's AMD ratio tool to do the overclocking. His tool would set all cores to a lower ratio (7x IIRC) and allow for independent module OC. But in this situation, it would ramp up all cores instead.
Need to look into this.
I'm pushing CU#3 at the moment.
CU#2 was one ratio less stable at -145C 1.7V and CU#1/0 two ratios. I will give the other cores another spin this weekend.
It's work related, I promise!
Hahaha! That was so much fun
Resurrection!
Just wanted to share this result. Testing for an event next month and with help I was able to score my very first 8G
Massman`s CPU Frequency score: 8016.8 mhz with a FX-8370

Looking at it from a different perspective, it's possible that Roman's continued support for the overclocking community is appreciated by many. For example, he's been organizing gatherings since 2009 and is still doing so. He's started Home - Overclocking.Guide to share information.
I'm not surprised to see that people want to join his new team. Even if it's tied to his current employer.
Hi Wraith,
We have a some measures against spam accounts posting in the forum. One of the measurements is that we enable PMs only for the approved user groups. I've moved you in that group now so everything should be working.
Enjoy your stay!
Don't flash Xpower bios on Mpower board. In case you'd try, I'm pretty sure there's a mechanism to prevent you from flashing the incorrect BIOS though.
This should be the latest BETA BIOS for the Mpower Gaming Titanium: http://217.110.237.70/fae_de/BIOS/Z170A/7A16_121.zip (Aug 30)
Funny story, I was actually at an overclocking event when the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull (yes, I googled the name) erupted in 2010.
Earthquakes are quite common around here, nothing to worry about.
