Massman Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Yes, CU #3 is the strongest. For some reason CPU-Z is reading all cores at 8G+, but I don't think they're actually at this frequency. I tried clocking all together and it crashed at 28x268 MHz or so. Quote
Crew gavbon Posted October 10, 2016 Crew Posted October 10, 2016 Congrats mate! So I take it this board is good then? Tried the chip on the Crosshair? Quote
buildzoid Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I just got this board. Unfortunately the best RAM I have is some meh PSC. Quote
Massman Posted October 11, 2016 Author Posted October 11, 2016 Congrats mate! So I take it this board is good then? Tried the chip on the Crosshair? Didn't try the chip on any other board. The 970 Pro Gaming VRM was designed to be at least equal to the one of the Crosshair and extra effort was put in to make sure it was compatible with the most common overclocking memory ICs. No complaints here! (just for full disclosure: it was provided to me to try and test. A couple of post above I also disclosed what other boards I tested prior to this one) Quote
BeepBeep2 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Resurrection! Just wanted to share this result. Testing for an event next month and with help I was able to score my very first 8G Massman`s CPU Frequency score: 8016.8 mhz with a FX-8370 CPU-Z VALIDATOR Welp, I guess I oughta break out the stuff again.

Massman Posted October 13, 2016 Author Posted October 13, 2016 Do it @BeepBeep2! We all need to warm up for AM4 Little update: I swapped for a new CPU to see if I can get higher stable frequency. On this CPU I can get two of the four CUs idling at 8.1 GHz, so it's quite a bit better. I have a picture of 8.2G+, but no validation yet. Below more detailed information about the two CPUs: FX-8370 #1: 1432PGY 9DT0641I40165 Maximum validation: 8109.60 MHz Session 1: -150c, 1.7V, 264HTT | CU#0, 28x | CU#1, 28x | CU#2, 27.5x | CU#3 28x Session 1: Full pot, 1.85V, 264HTT | CU#0, 30x | CU#1, 31x | CU#2, 30.5x | CU#3 29.5x Session 1: Full pot, 1.95V, 266HTT | CU#1, 30.5x | CU#2, 31x FX-8370 #2: 1421PGS 9DA2011H40148 Maximum validation: 8066.86 MHz Session 1: -150c, 1.7V, 250HTT | CU#0, 27x | CU#1, 28x | CU#2, 28x | CU#3 28x Session 1: Full pot, 1.8V, 250HTT | CU#0, 29x | CU#1, 29x | CU#2, 30x | CU#3 30x Session 1: Full pot, 1.95V, 250HTT | CU#0, 29x | CU#1, 29x | CU#2, 30x | CU#3 31x Session 2: Full pot, 1.8V, 250HTT | CU#3 31x Session 3: -150c, 1.7V, 265HTT | CU#3 26.5x Session 3: Full pot, 1.95V, 265HTT | CU#3 30.5x There should be a bit more in the new CPU. Validation at 8.2GHz should be very possible. I also uploaded @elmor's AM3 ratio tool which I'm using to set the ratios. The tool allows you to set the ratio for all cores together or each core independently. If you configure one core, the others will drop to the lowest available ratio (7x).

zeropluszero Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I should have my am3+ chip in the mail today, expect me hassling you tomorrow night Quote
flanker Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 nice update about batchs. Ihave some info too, but only for full pot and older batchs of FX-83xx... Quote
