Uh-oh ...

Any cooling. LN2 is only to max out the chips, but usually you can hit the highest frequency with a decent air cooler. I'm not talking daily stability here; max benchstable only.

That one was submitted to a competition, right ?

Okay, updated.

Hey all, Hoping some of you could help me out to find out what boards have the 'Internal PLL override' BIOS setting set to 'enabled' by default or where 'auto' equals enabled. I'll check the boards I have here at home, but help would be much appreciated! How to check: - clear cmos - go in bios and check internal pll override (leave setting to default) - test max multiplier - go in bios, set internal pll override to enabled manually - test max multiplier Typically, if you get <50x on the first test, the pll override will be disabled. The second test is just to verify you can go higher if you enable it manually. Three classifications: Enabled by default - - - Disabled by default - - - Dude, this board doesn't even have the option ... - Zotac Z68 wifi ITX

85-90% do over 5gig ~50% do over 5.4gig

Let's be honest, there's always plenty of time at each competition to first fail 20 times and still get a competitive score up.

Anything less than hooking up a nuclear reactor will considered "below average work" by TiN, I think.

'Fair' . Boards are simply too late. Let's see what happens with the X79 launch. How knows, maybe Classified will be back at the top

"An official poster"

SuperSavage. What an awesome product name!

One note to JF-AMD's post, though. A question I've brought up when Sandy Bridge was almost ready to launch and when Dr.Who? (Intel) informed the folks at XS that the real performance of SB was not known yet. Both basically argued that any performance result prior to the retail launch cannot be taken seriously because a lack of final 'everything' (as JF states: final production silicon, processor microcode, system BIOS, OS optimizations, drivers). The problem is that media receive test samples prior to the launch to have their articles up by the time the product is in the stores. A consequence of the logic as stated by JF is, in other words, that no launch article is presenting accurate performance results OR that leaked results do indicate real performance levels. I assume the latter is true, obviously. The only question that remains is how much tme prior to the launch can final performance be measured by the reviewers that test the product. One week, two weeks?

Mad222's result is not on the OC Records page. Got something to do with that ? http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1586389

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I don't have any issue with my team's pages, but when I visit your pages I do experience serious performance issue. Not sure what the problem is, but I'll add it to the backlog. offtopic: really need to find more coding time to clean our backlog

That's the whole point of his post ...

Found this post over at Overclock.net. Although JF-AMD is working for the server division, the post applies to more than just the server segment. In my opinion, it gives a pretty nice insight on future release strategies. The IPC question/answers are quite relevant for the overclocking community. In general, I'd say overclockers are interested in CPC performance (clock-per-clock), but in the end they'll take whatever hardware will give them the highest score. For instance, Sandy Bridge is much faster clock-per-clock in 3DMark05, but with Gulftown reaching 500-700MHz higher clocks we choose the 990X to set our records.
