Bored at work, so I'm entertaining myself with this. Been looking as this for some time now, and with the two new results coming in today I thought I'd bring this up and see if a discussion is worthwhile.

 

Maybe I'm looking for something that isn't there, but there seems to be a connection to ram freq with max freq on these chips. All the really high chips have 900mhz+ while the lower ones have ~700mhz (save for a few outliers). Granted this analysis doesn't take into OC methods (did they use PScheck, just boot with high multi and up HTT, ect). Considering I saw 1000mhz difference in some of my cores, this might be a mute point if everyone didn't test each core individually.

 

I duno, I'm bored

 

I tested some FX8150s and RAM clock didn't make any change to the max CPU clock, just kept it low so that I didn't have to worry about it.

Did you test each core?

only one RAM can u help a bit...I think, there is only big diference between batchs and pieces.

I got my max clocks on a different set of sticks than my previous submissions. Gskill Flares.

 

I discounted it to coincidence that the stars just aligned. Could be something to being able to run the ram at a certain frequency though... From my experience at 8GHz I wouldn't be surprised at all. It's like magic making everything work together in my experience, for that split second to save the result.

I tested all four CUs through PSCheck/9913 bios of my 8150 last week.

 

1st - ~7300

2nd - ~ 7375

3rd - ~ 7060

4th - ~ 7200

 

I dunno if ram makes that big of a difference or not...but interesting topic.
