October 24, 201113 yr Well done guys!! Â 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.
October 24, 201113 yr After the 8.15G validation, the chip ran 7GHz 3DMark11 fully stable. I think it's still alive ...
October 24, 201113 yr Ahh...good news. Might give mine another go then. Â Did you guys use the UD7 rev. 1.1 with only LLC control or did you hard-mod it?
October 24, 201113 yr Dino has a bunch of 3D screenshots ... you don't want to see them honestly. Â 4-Way GTX 580 + Bulldozer FX-8150 at stock scores ... 12522 points in 3DMark11. Goes up to 14.5k at 4.6G and 16.6k at 5.5G. At stock CPU speed, the opening FPS in GT1 are the same for 3Way and 4-Way. The platform is totally CPU limited. Going up with the cards from stock to 1100gpu gave us not even 1000 points :-/
October 24, 201113 yr Ahh...good news. Might give mine another go then. Â Did you guys use the UD7 rev. 1.1 with only LLC control or did you hard-mod it? Â Interesting question! Â We used the latest revision of the UD7 board. We had LLC at the highest setting and above 5G that was giving us stability issues. With the other LLC values, we had no stability issues anymore. Â Stability was only an issue with all cores enabled, by the way. Not for validation.
October 24, 201113 yr 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!

October 24, 201113 yr I wrote some 3D11 score indications in a few posts ago. Â Yes, we were focussing on 3D11. No 2D benchmarks, just 3D testing.

Heh, you guys should have focused on 2D.
October 24, 201113 yr We managed to get two cards from Gigabyte VGA dept. If you achieve that, you just can't do anything else besides benching them . Â Bulldozer is quite fun, though. Too bad we only had a couple of days to get to know the system. There's a lot of performance left in the system. Â (for clarification: getting one card from vga dept is near impossible, let alone two)
October 24, 201113 yr (for Clarification: Getting One Card From Vga Dept Is Near Impossible, Let Alone Two) Q. F. T.
October 25, 201113 yr nice result. how many chips did you test? Â We had 2. This is the first one; the second one died at 6.6GHz. Â So basically, we only tested one.
