I know having to pay for things is highly over-rated.

Lol. Yep

 

[cdawall]

don't you also have a 8350

Nope never bothered to buy one :rofl:

Nice I'm interested to see what this will do with some decent H20. Buddy of mine has a "good" 8350 on water and it runs prime stable at 1.5v even. My piggy is in the 1.57 range to remain stable.

I am interested myself should just be a higher bin...

Nice.

Any stability tests done? Any throttling?

None so far still moving into the new house.

 

[suraswami]

my board throttles the 8320 even at 3.5 ghz default. I am going to lower the volts and lower the multi to see at what stage it stops throttling and goes full speed (without touching the LLC ofcourse).

 

[FX-GMC]

its actually at 4.8GHz

bwahahahahahahahaha


and i think you should do more research on my board

Yeah, i just learned what the EVO means on that model.

Why not

@cdawall get some benches going on tpu hwbot when you got the time, the thread and interest is dying..

TPU is a tough crowd lol


@Johan I just noticed you've taken a couple of my topspots!

I need to get this benching up a gear, either mobo or cooling!

My kingston 2666 memory just came back, they sent me new ones on an RMA. Im actually really happy with kingston, the RMA process was quick and simple. I'm gonna install them and see what happens shortly

Yay! turned off APM and now the board doesn't throttle (with LLC set at Regular).

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Mine was doing some slight throttling at 4.4, then I realized I had apm enabled. I disabled it and it is running smooth as silk. at 4.4 with 1.36v and 54c under 100% load with a hyper 212+. I am going to go ahead and spring for a H100i and bring the temps down some more and crank it up a tad more.

The cpunb needs a big bump in volts to get 2500+ stable on ram and try to keep the cpunb frequency around 100mhz on top of the ram.

run aida mem bench on different configs to see if the bandwidth etc is being used effectively.

I like high speed ram, especially on benches that use all 8 cores instead of single ones.

I know this is a stupid question, where are vrms located on my asus 99fx pro r 2 mobo?

this is a great read if youre interested

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/prin...The-Motherboard-Voltage-Regulator-Circuit/616

pretty much a start to knowing all about vrms

 

[cdawall]

Why not

I was waiting for bette chips to come out.

Wait until it gets cold then you will have more benchers running.

If you're looking in the side of the case the VRM circuit is located under the Blue heatsink that is nearest the back of your case and it runs up and down the one under you CPU is the NB

Ya and you're lucky I was running them on win7 in compatability and not on Vista. I have made it my sole purpose to take away all your points D1nky ( insert evil laughter here) JK



I finally think I have my Rig straightened out again.
This is just My opinion but have seen multiple users having strange probs when they update their Sabertooth BIOS to some of the newer versions.
When I was having my issues initially and found out it was water, I had updated the bios and re-installed winders etc...
Ever since I got things dried out and up and running the rig just didn't act right strange glitches here and ther couldn't get some benches to run blah blah blah...
So I redid windows multiple times tried different chip drivers and so on what seems to have finally straightened thing out was to go back to the second oldest BIOS version. 601 seems to make my machine happy. When I was on win8 it was 803.
Seen 1 poster who updated his bios and the system wouldn't start he could however get into his bios and it seems the firmware update wan't setting the RAM properly and poop wouldn't run. This is not isolated but you don't have to take my word for it. Just if you have upgraded and things seem wonky you may want to downgrade.

 

[Super XP]

Glad you have things running better now. I hope ASUS releases a much better bios for your board. Acually, I am hoping they release a Crosshair V Formula for my board too, been waiting for ages, I am sure there is room for improvement by far.

 

[Johan45]

I have always found that the older versions usually work better they always say don't upgrade unless you need to. Usually when you read it improved compatability that's usually at the price of performance. I had upgraded out for the sake of problem solving at the time. Didn't realize it would cause me such headaches.
Strange though typically ASUS is pretty good with the BIOS but maybe they've found some cheaper software writers.

I won't be looking for a better one since I think I have found it already!

I only run win7

I got your super1M back tho, im working on the wprime and superpi 32m again!

if I get a good outcome with the bios ill be trying that cinebench other wise im done on that.

 

[cdawall]

It's almost ready to go. Should hopefully has some good 5.6+ runs on the FX here soon.

hey nice one, theres not many 9370 submissions and the ones do look a bit weak!

good to see ya back at your rig and using the chip!

 

[Irony]

9370 is $30 off at NCIX, $319.

Likewise and per the "Bulldozer conditioner" the 1703 doesn't have all the latest errata included either.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Alright my temps are now in the mid 40's @ 100% load, volts at 1.3625 and I am running at 4.4 (200x22). I think I am going to try and make the ultimate push and see where I can go with this 8350. My board maybe a limiting factor though. Then I will move to Water cooling.

Not according to asus I and others were rebuked when asking in the Rog forum for a bios update for the crosshair V, apparently it supports 9series fx's unofficially and they wouldn't give an answer about if a bios update beyond 1703 is coming much to my dissmay.

Thats not bad, you gained about 14C advantage in load temps. Time for moar Mhz!

I found my 8320 to run stable @ 4 Ghz with just 1.26v and showing 46C on core under full load. Going to find how low I can go on the volts!
