Have ordered one now What CB temps did you have on the ones you tried? All four Galax cards I've tried had CB issues when switching from loading screens to game tests in FS at around -90 C. And CBB at-50...

Nice! Seems like a good chip!

I agree in general but I guess slowmode is ok as it kind of shows what speeds it was run at anyway. As for cheating it can never be stopped anyway in most benchmarks. Lots of skylake results are with slowmode and noone has complained that I know of.

Very good! High baseclk helps?

I think I have figured it out. Now just need to find out how to make the required changes and then wait for LN2 time

Nice! Good cpu!

I'll take it! I'll PM you about details.

The hunt for the secret tweak!

Wow, impressive for those mem clocks!

Thanks! I will probably revisit all GTX 480 with GPU on LN2. GPU is pretty good, but I thought I had issues with inefficient coldslow bios when I tried it on LN2 for Country Cup. Seems it was just a lucky run that made GPU on air beat GPU on LN2 then...

It was a nice touch to use i3 in the comp, but the recent retails are impossibly bad. Me and some others have tried to bin a decent one and they are all crap on LN2! Even the good air clockers!

I'm out. It is impossible to find even half decent retail i3 now. All I get are week 37 and all are total crap. The two best on air did less than 5500MHz on LN2!

I also had issues trying to boot with 4870X2 and GTX 295 on the M8 Extreme. Managed to boot once with 4870X2, but most of the time it would stop at A3 or A0. This was with bios 0014.

Thanks! Will try to keep it for a while. Got lots to bench still with the new CPU. XTU for example

I also had lots of trouble with mem-OC om RVE. On different CPUs. Some times it would boot fine, but most of the time it would drop one or two channels. I don't remember if I tried setting RTL/IOL manually, but that might help.

Very good!

decided to keep nr2. i3 is sold as well. Can be closed, thanks!

Very good!

Thanks!

I tested volts for booting windows 7 at 4.5 and 5.0 ghz. Only one chip managed 5 ghz. Second best booted 4.5 at 1.20v. Will try the second best chip on ln2 on monday. A real shame about the other chip. Could cold boot at full pot...sanded die and no crack even at full pot. But what does it help when it doesn't scale...

Seems like there alot of really bad i3's. Have binned 6 now and the best one on air did less than 5.5 on ln2 today. It was a 5 ghz air chip...

Did you try newer bios?

Open to offers if you're interested...

Maybe I'm just lucky but I haven't had any problems at all with my b-die. Only tried one kit so far and I binned them single stick for volts at 3600 12 1t on bios 1.93. They needed around 1.6v (dmm). In dual they had no problem running 3840 c12 1t (for xtu 6320). Didn't try minimizing volts, just set 1.8 in bios so around 1.85 dmm. They couldn't do 2000 c12 though.
