I have a load of LGA775 bits coming up :) there are no novice heats though :P

I was just wondering if I could use results I entered into another hwbot competition, or would I have to redo the benchmark?

nvm my last comment, I exceeded my last comps result :)

 

My next goal is 5.4 GHz, but I have been running 1.55v (max for my cpu) since 5.1GHz...

Don't worry about voltage, 1.7 is doable (with cooling) for a very short period of time. It's at 1.8v you might as well say hello to silicone heaven.

Does it have a extra selection for voltage offset as well as vcore? If so, this could be used to get that last few volts.

My first round in, overall im happy with the results especially since not only am I doing this in a NZXT H440, im doing it in it with all the panels on. The hwbot submission should really be 1648.5 per core because I was running my 8320 in a dual core configuration.

 

I'll do a proper benchmarking run in a couple of days where ill actually strip the case of all panels and put the socket/backpanel/mofset coolers on.

Also thanks junk, I got it running at 5.4 GHZ with the offset for all of 3 minutes before it throttled itself to death :)

Sorry to hear mate. Got to monitor those temps. I always have HWmonitor running when pushing to a new unknown.

 

Def need to get a mod to look at your HWbot sub as it should be right up under mine.

Sorry I didn't mean it broke, it throttled itself to the point where 2 cores will barely run notepad lol. It is working fine, and as soon as I do a real run with all my mobo fans, I should be able to hold 5.4 nicely

The calculation is always based on the default amount of active cores. It's a limitation in our back-end engine

That's actually a real nice chip you have there Luke. 5300 @ 1.5V not bad at all. Wish my 8350 would do that.

Just got a question, CPU-z is reporting my RAM as 900 MHz even though it should be 1866. I checked bios and had changed the settings from auto to 1866 MHz and it still shows this even under load. Is it broken?

nvm, after some research I found that it should be running at 930 MHz because RAM has two transfers per cycle so 930 MHz per cycle~ 1866

That's it mate. Google to the rescue haha. It's my go to for info.

 

Got a 13983 run for maxxmem without OCing my chip last night. Going to play around with OCing and how it affects the bench tonight.

I think something may have gone wrong there. Unless you wish toi replicate it as it's higher than half the LN2 scores.

Yeah worst bit is I looked in the world records and it looks like you aren't the only one. The only difference is they left there's in there.
