Rauf

Ok, if you can't/don't want to rma then you can measure the resistance of the fuses near the usb ports. Any fuse with infinite resistance needs to be shorted.

No problem with my board. Only ever had usb problems on msi z170 xpower, but it was usb ocp and fixable.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Very good! Now get some better memory

Lol! hook, line and sinker I look forward for you to downclcock for screenshot to 6.8 when (if) you can beat this. But I have plenty backups. Seriously, would be fun to see some teamau scores again

Nice chip!

I'm more impressed Macci is still benching, or was at least involved Great job Jon!

I haven't run these, but I don't see the need for them. Time spy and fire strike seem to do the same thing. And vantage and 3d11 more or less also. I also strongly dislike the visual aspect. Benchmarks are supposed to be nice to look at and showcasing the latest and greatest is visual effects etc. Here at hwbot we won't run these bench the way they are supposed to (with VR) so I don't think there is any value in using them competitively.

Strong chip!

Good work XA!

Nice CPU!

For 8-threaded benchmarks yes, will try some stuff to see if I can find a way to decent speeds again. But legacy is working fine at 7G again and again

Nice score! You just need to adjust the volts probably to finetune the rsvd. Have you noticed any degradation of cpu yet?

Yes, core 3 and 4 are strong @Radi First few runs were uninsulated. Now I have painted it with LET.

Good run!

Thanks all!

To bad it's 643, would have been golden otherwise...

Aceton works fine. Clean die, inside ihs, outside ihs and pot carefully with aceton. Then apply a big blob of kryonaut on die. Mount ihs, put some kryonaut on ihs and mount pot (I mount very tight but not sure it is actually needed). I have never had a single crack this way. No need to heat up or cool down in a special way. Just pour. You can reuse the kryonaut on the die if you don't remove the ihs. I tried it and could do 5-6 sessions, but eventually it will crack. So I redo it every time just to be sure...

Come on, you can do 1208!

Very nice Hideo!

And 980 is (was) high end. Div III is for mid-low end

I do not agree with allowing 980, 980 was high end when it was released. I thought the point of the different classes were that we would have to spend alot of money to buy stuff specifically for these competitions. Just use what is in your price class, i.e. what you already have. Why not allow 3770k/2600k they are cheaper than 7350k...for me it is illogical.

Sick CPUs you have there!

Rules don't say 980 ti is not allowed. Maybe update rules, not everyone reads through these threads
