I.nfraR.ed Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Seriously...I wanted to kill it. 20l of LN2 and not a single 32M result. Not exact in round, not convergent in sqr, crashing of superpi... Most of the time couldn't pass 3rd loop. Finished one time at 6640 and bsoded on the screenshot, while it's perfectly fine on these speeds before superpi. I can freely mess with tools, change settings, etc. I even do cdt on these speeds. As I said before, it's a very weird cpu... Quote
BeepBeep2 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah... Mine died. 965 and 955 coming, will be more careful with mounting pressure. I removed the IHS after it died, then took a hammer to the die. Some of it got stuck to the IHS anyway, down to the PCB... Quote
BeepBeep2 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 Have you noticed that these new CPUs have a very small gap between 32M and instability? The old ones having 300+...while I can pull off 32M @ 6.68, 1M only up to 6.73. Quote
I.nfraR.ed Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Yes, it was the same for me. Basically was able to go one notch up on the htt for like 30MHz higher and didn't bother trying again, probably 6.68 - 6.7 being the limit. Quote
BeepBeep2 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 It is kind of a shame...normally a 6.7 GHz 32M CPU will do about 7 GHz CPU-Z validations. Quote
I.nfraR.ed Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 And it doesn't like higher voltage at all, makes it sick. I have one more coming (1209PGT). Quote
BeepBeep2 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 Ananerbe's 1209 was great for CPU-Z so I'd imagine that one will do well too. Maybe my 1210 will be good. I saw a difference in serial number with my two 955s, and I think the batch letters are useless now. Quote
