Wow, that's a massive improvement. Great work!

1866 works for me on the Intel board, but 2133 doesn't. It didn't on the DP67BG back last December either. Even tried their recommended sub-timings and voltages with no luck. Plugged the same sticks into a certain red and black board and they boot right up at rated speed & timings with only Vdimm set.

Vince can be difficult to reach at times. PM on his forum is generally the best. If at first you don't succeed...

Hahahahaha....It hasn't happened yet but I was waiting for someone to say that it was not just ASUS boards, but Gigabyte too.

Here's one for the fanboys if you still run across this rumor: Disproving the ASUS-Hinders-FX Theory Once & for All. That was one of the more ridiculous claims yet it proliferated far and wide. Thankfully it was also the easiest to debunk.

Looks like you've held several great events rbuass. It's very impressive you're getting recognized by the university and bringing our obsession to so many. Keep up the good work!

Q. F. T.

Wow...that's just awful. Yep, bot competitors will be buying Bulldozer to compete against Bulldozer only. Heh, you guys should have focused on 2D.

That's what I was afraid of. LinX can tank voltage with LLC on extreme at 24/7 clocks. Prime doesn't. I'll try the other settings. Thanks for the detail!

Ahh...good news. Might give mine another go then. Did you guys use the UD7 rev. 1.1 with only LLC control or did you hard-mod it?

Well done guys!! My question - does the chip live to fight another day? I wanted a living chip and held off at 1.8V and was thus limited to ~7.6Ghz. If yours seems ok, I might give it another try.

AMD Responds (as you'd expect marketing to respond). I read the 1st page of comments. Guess what the first response to negative game tests was? Can you guess?? (Emphasis mine.) Yep, we all did it wrong. (Disclaimer re: awards from the first post - I gave it an Overclockers Approved, but that means simply "The product performs well at stock and at overclocking, for modding, etc. where relevant. It isn’t necessarily the best of its type, but it performs well enough that we could recommend it with a clear conscience." ...and at $245, I would be able to do just that. At the $280 they're going for now - not so much; no way. If that was the MSRP I could not recommend it with a clear conscience. If you actually read the review, you'll see my benchmark section & conclusion is similar to others.)

Hah, this is about as far from a world record as it can get, but thank you anyway. I beat this time with my mediocre 2600K with 800 MHz less frequency. WP32 was even more sad, with SB beating it more than a GHz below BD's speed. Still, it's a heck of a lot of fun benching with a full pot.

QFT, through and through. Added a little emphasis there too. Did he finally get that 5-stager completely operable without issues? I read his thread and it's just insane how much work and knowledge (oh, and money!) went into that beast. It's an epic cooler; one for the ages. I think I saw him spitting out liquid LN2 with the fourth stage. or something to that effect. Bet it was fun to play with.

I 'degraded' one with an accidental boot-up voltage of ~3.0V. It 'degraded' right into oblivion. Note to self: Don't set manual voltage to the max, leave it there, then set offset voltage to the max too. If anyone wants to know how to get ASRock boards above their 1.5'ish Vcore limit, that's how.

The question is, did you do this before Dolk and, if so, did he take the two shots as agreed? Follow up - did he stay awake afterward?

First place, bravo!

Hey guys; in case you missed the RSS post, OCF's benching team is having their second annual party this weekend in Philly. In theory the livestream will start at 5pm, but IMOG is in a traffic jam, so we'll see how close to that they get. There are 540L of LN2 waiting for them right now in the hotel conference room...they just need to get there and start freezing stuff! Check out the post at Overclockers and stop by to root them on this weekend.

What he said. I'm all for global/wr boints for 11, FWIW.

I understand the reasoning, and would be able to do it myself in a heartbeat (I take way too many photos), but worry about those that don't. For instance, I did have a 5GHz E8400 validation on air, but if I wasn't crazy with the camera, I could never document it with a photo because that hardware is long gone. Anyway, I'll butt out of this one, I'm in XoL and am quite happy with the new revision. Thank you, by the way, for all your hard work on this. It's obvious you put a massive amount of time in it and it looks great. EDIT - Whew, whatever changed in this most recent version, I lost about thirty points. Ouch!

Huh; I thought all results up to now would be grandfathered. Seems illogical to require photographs of all past submissions at this point. Some people that bench exclusively air and water have been doing so for years (i.e. not everyone eventually moves cold) and the hardware is loooong gone. It wouldn't make any sense to require photos at this point, though it does make perfect sense to require them from rev. 4 inception on out. richba5tard, is it possible to just set an argument "if date = after {date rev.4 goes live} then require photo for enthusiast league"? I'm no programmer, but if that can be translated into actual programming language, it might be a relatively painless fix?

Thank you, it's MUCH faster now. Even faster than the main Rev.3 page. (Static databases will do that.) I'm upset with you Massman. Madshrimps passed us in the new revision. Our hard-earned place above XS was also lost. Consider your team targeted sir!

Ahh, gotcha. I'll try later. Thanks!

Well, it's not a 500 error any more; now it's a 502

Anybody else getting a 500 error?
