last time was working on Friday for me.

Yep, pretty nice cpu. Looks like AMD did a great job of optimising silicon of Spitfire - early cpu steppings clock way worse than later ones, so that durons with later manufacturing dates will do 1.2-1.3GHz air while it's not possible with earlier cpus even at SS. These cpus are also affected by fsbwall - unlocking multi to go higher fsb, though easy to do by L1 mod, won't always bring benefits as one will hit into fsbwall rather into core limit (this exact cpu will do 1.27ghz air with x8 multi and won't do 1.0ghz with x5 multi).

God mode on)

Good one guys!

Nice cpu!

Should give better FSB headroom

Хорошо:)

what kind of issues it had?

Sweet chip)

Superb!

Great score, awesome!

1.92.2 x32 works fine for me with nf7-s, a7n8x-e, an35n. Most probably it is not socket issue alone but a combo of OS and socket. PS. Great attitude, running test for 80 minutes for team cup means a lot about your dedication to your team.

Always love to see FX being benched that high frequency

SSDs i use for benchmarking are 60GB and I won't be able to install any modern game (>100GB size) to bench:) PS. There is also a problem with game versions - usually bug/performance fixes during the lifespan of the game affect performance a lot. It is completely different to 3DMark benchmarks in that aspect. Take EVE online as an example - it is still EVE after 17 years yet very different game if you compare 2003 vs 2020 (or 2022?).

Given cooling used, this is very strong score

Is it infineon be-6? Pretty tight tRAS then, mine won't do that.

Yep, digitalbath sent me that link some time ago, thanks guys. The reason I questioned it was vtt level mismatch (50% default) used here. Will test that mod too soon (though smd soldering was always a challenge).

Just curious what vtt is? Is it dram vtt?

Yeah, great SS cpu.

How much did it gain from air to LN2?

Pretty strong cpu, good score!

1% is still too much. Do you? I'm quite sure you won't catch me if I start cheating. I'm nowhere close to be hardcore gamer yet I was playing Asphalt8 for a couple of years - rankings in one of the most popular games were full of cheaters. Even online events had lots of those. I think that most AAA titles with online functionality (so that they offer human vs human competition) also implement quite serious protection against cheating - auto aim, trainers etc and still they have a lot of such issues. And those protections also make things more complex for usual gamers, so why hwbot shouldn't implement the same protection for its 15y heritage?

Simplicity in general is also simplicity to cheat and take high spots. HWBOT was and is database of results in different benchmarks. Making simple validation will ruin the validity of this database - people are people and cheaters will exploit that simplicity to gain top rankings. Look at Aquamark - first only screenshot of am3 window was required, then screenshot in am3 pasted into paint plus cpuz/gpuz, then wrapper - just because there were too many cheaters using simplicity of early validation rules.

I also thought OC is out of interest for most young folks in my country until I recently joined local HW channel in Telegram - people do overclocking with their setups, test 'em in games and discuss interesting modding projects. The thing is HWBOT is not interesting for them. Interest in OC doesn't mean participation in hwbot. Casual overclocking/benchmarking is alive, hwbot should just find the way to invlove these people into community.
