TerraRaptor

I have checked EBED bios and it works fine. I was able to pass pifast @275 and it validates 282.5mhz https://hwbot.org/submission/4254667_terraraptor_reference_frequency_a7n8x_e_deluxe_282.46_mhz

Anyone knows if this is going to be fixed? As an option - probably these scripts can run on a different forum (as these were broken after forum migration) and all we need is just use external forum (let it be warp-9, OCN etc) and copy-paste scripts from here?

Great score! For my records - do these CPUs have coldboot/coldbug?

Oh, so you already know me and a group of other cheaters made a Voodoo doll of you to stop the development of Benchmate as it won't allow us cheat?

Nice find (although requires deeper look and practical test) - probably some of the bits in these registers are Write Once -Read hence romsips are the that important as they set some of these bits during early initialization of chipset.

I'll be able to check both files for -E Deluxe tomorrow evening and report back.

Great one!

I'm limited by cpu not the board here and this is the only e8xxx I have at the moment. Once I have more cpus I'll check it with different divider, thank you for input.

That fps:)

Hope to see 5+ soon

There should be no difference if sticks are hypers or not. Normally, if using X48, you just read spd of one stick and write it to the other. I has an issue recently when hypers flashed to GTX2 were not posting on CVF with any cpu but flashing them to Dom 1866 C9 2.2 fixed the issue completely (but I was using the cracked version of taiphoon burner).

Yeah, just a little bit actually ?

Try extracting romsips/bpl from trats 1013-1T ?

hmm, strange - I always thought one should fix crc after such copy-paste edits otherwise bios won't work. Thanks, will try it one day.

@Tzk Hi, can you post a quick how-to guide on bios modding to add/replace romsips/bpls? Never had time to study it.

I don't remember exactly - better check with multimeter - but side bumps are positive and center is ground. I would use tantals to replace this fujitsu cap - long wires will dramatically worsen the esr and make the replacement with long wires senseless.

I would solder some tantals into socket/on the back of the socket if missing . Also, I've added ceramics on every big electrolytic cap. However, this helps a little to be true. Try Trats 1013-1T. Do your boards lock up beyond 245mhz or just get unstable? What is your max fsb validation so far?

I'm going to make a break until I get more cpus with this board but here is the latest I've done - 269 1:1 2-2-2-11 (which is actually the absolute limit of my ram even with s939) https://hwbot.org/submission/4242478_terraraptor_superpi___1m_sempron_2200_(thoroughbred)_39sec_247ms To break above 258-260MHz I change 2 registers in b0d0f3 with wpcredit - offset 66 & 68 set to C7. Voltages are Vcpu 1.85v, Vnb 2.05v, Vdimm 3.8v. The system is not stable at these clocks and it took me several attempts. 265-266Mhz are much better. Another important notice - once you ran into instability you should power off completely, boot once with fsb 100 and then back to high fsb (I boot with 255 and then raise it with clockgen to the desired value with 1.5-2Mhz steps). Booting once with low fsb is essential - seems like chipset resets something inside with new strap. I have tried to reproduce this result with NF7-S v2 using exact same hardware but no success - system is unstable above 261.5Mhz. Good luck all!

One day:) I guess it should be of quite low priority for those who maintain hwbot (and note maintainers do not get salary for their job).

Ordered 1pcs with oled display and soic8 clip on 27/08/19 and it has arrived on 17/09/19 - quite fast delivery from China to my address.

I remember hypers required high latency boundary to work - killing the performance.

I broke the core of the best one this summer, other 2500+ won't go high enough. Actually I can share it here - bus 0 dev 0 func 3 offsets 66 and 68 - set both to C7 or 07 (haven't yet bothered to identify the exact bit - although should be simple - just one of those 2 bits in 11xx0111 sequence with xxxx0xxx being mandatory). Don't know what it is exactly - was bruteforcing it in wpcredit - with zero impact on performance.

Thanks all. I will recheck some of cpus with NF7v2 in next few weeks (NF7 is also strong on fsb and validates 275MHz) to see if Asus board is not limiting me on total cpu clock and will later share my trick to break 260 Mhz with A7N8X. The resistor I use gives the lowest of 2.05v (that is combo of 2 resistors actually) - going to 2.15v worsens stabilty. I think voltmod is necessary but 2.05v may be unnecessary.

+60Mhz to second result, very good.

I guess that is quite an old issue. At least I remember me and Ananerbe were checking all my results and recalculate those individually when I joined Team Russia (and that was five years ago?). Once you join the team, go and recalculate all the results manually - although it will take certain time that is the safest way. Sometimes you may need to edit results (with no actual changes) to trigger recalculation.
