Only 1MHz more to HTT:

This was a really big suprise for me! Definately a nice one! :roll:
 
If this is legit I just got goose pimples.
 
I remember INQ posting news on a 30k score:)
 
Wow! It looks like the new Phenom IIs are a lot more forgiving on HT and NB speeds.
 
Preparing, and actually doing are two different things. Let me know when they do it, they still have a long way to go.

One thing worth mentioning, they got every core up to 5,9GHz, not just two of them to over 6... That gives quite a boost too. Other thing. These are ES chips, retail parts should perform even better.

Or, they are cherry-picked consumer chips that got a ES tag on them.

That would be my guess. Probably a 940BE cherry picked by AMD and relabelled to an ES.

its a full ES chip prerelease just like the one i have a couple of the other guys on XS are looking for some more of them and are trying to buy mine lol
 
5.9Ghz @ 1.5v that's nice!

And its nice to see something other than a Gigabyte board. Seems like every AMD bench or review that gets posted is on a Gigabyte board.

thats not real vcore real vcore is 1.8+

Answer is yes, but not yet. It will happen in near future :up:


We had this (a bit crazy) OC session in Sampsa's place: http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/showthread.php?t=216534

We focused on 3D in the event and Sampsa tested memory overclocking and 05 in Thursday evening. On Friday, we decided to start pushing in 3DM06.

Previous AMD record was a bit low, cause my CPU was not good for it: http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/showthread.php?t=215526

This time our NB scaled a lot higher with high CPU MHz. NB was running at 4386MHz in our 3D tests.

Overclockers (Team Finland):

SF3D & Sampsa with support of macci & kamu

Setup:
AMD Phenom II X4 AM3 engineering sample
Asus M4A79-T Deluxe (790FX + SB750)
2 GB Corsair DDR3-1800
Asus ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 CrossFireX
Corsair HX1000W + OCZ 600W
Kingpin F1 EE + LN2 cooling

Catalyst 9.1 WHQL (Not FM accepted yet)
Vista Ultimate + SP1

Here is some pictures from the event:













And finally.. Here is the score: :shocked:

And here you can see, how CPU score is scaling very nicely:


Performance in 06 is really good :up: Next we will test some better CPU's and cool down the VGA's too.

I hope you guys like it :up:

They did it, but now their on second place. If you look at the dates of AMD run and the i7 run, you'll see that the i7 score was a backup score.

Team Finland once stated that backups don't belong in their policy...

They are going to put those HD's under LN2, so I'll guess they will get one nice score.
