On AM3(+) I had the most experience with the 990FXA-UD7 and this 970 Pro Gaming/AURA. I must say that the 990FXA-UD7 (pre-UEFI) was a rock-solid board back in the day in terms of getting high frequency as well as stability with all 8 cores enabled. Even for high HTT and high memory frequency it was a all-round solid board. I used a couple boards and they all behaved similarly. The 970 Pro Gaming/AURA is the latest iteration of the AM3+ boards and for benching it behaves as good as the 990FXA-UD7, if not better. Its major advantage is the tuning for Samsung memory and stability at 300+ MHz HTT. I mean, 333 MHz HTT with DDR3-2666C9 at 5G SPI-32M on air is quite amazing. I also tried the 990FXA-UD3 briefly which I recall doing quite well too.

All done! Thanks @websmile for pointing me to this thread :celebration:

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

WHOOAH!

Took me three sessions to get this, I'm soooo rusty

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 CPU-Z VALIDATOR

We committed to this format a long time ago with our World Tour event partners. We intend to keep our promise

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.

Hey Kurzee, welcome to the forum! Setup is looking very nice! What's the hardware under the hood?

Wow, first time I see an overclocking from Palestine. Welcome!

Best of luck to everyone! :ws: :celebration:

Fan placement is quite ingenious. I hadn't thought of this, thanks for sharing!

Pictures!

Awesome! I'm curious to see the table in action too ... what setup are you running?

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)

Especially @racoon is doing very well. It was also nice to see @VanBudd at the Gamers Assembly this year!

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.

Big scores, expected nothing less from you guys :ws:

Moved off topic posts to thread in XOC sub forum to discuss

Big one incoming tomorrow! (Uh-oh) [ATTACH]4756[/ATTACH]

Congrats on your #1 spot in the League
