Sick chip bro :thumbsup:

[Dentlord]

Oh wow that is an awesome chip!!

I need to go for another round of buying chips to test but money is tight in the winter. (esp after 2x KPE lol)

[Splave]

thanks men :) lucky first one I bought

Some cold results 1700/1950 is like a rock then hits a wall, maybe bios issue not sure.

Seems to score way higher then what the clocks are reading though, so strange...

[Dentlord]

Wow ... just ... wow

1700 is where both my KPE start to not want to run, weird.

Also, where did you buy the chip?! I am gonna start trying to get a good cpu again, the ones I have won't take me very far.

[Splave]

lame huh! 1.38v is good for 1700/1950 but up to 1.5v doesnt help temps around -110 to -125

ebay bro! look for older batches. 3331B5** are strong as hell, know 3 people with good ones in this batch.


also make sure to open GPUZ and 2 CPUz even for benches that have a wrapper :)

Yeah I f'ed that one up, the screenshot is long gone too I put another os on that drive after :/

[Dentlord]

Just bought one from ebay, I zoomed in on the pic and it sure looks like batch 3331B5** hope it is lol. Should have asked first I guess but I'm just impatient like that.

[Witchdoctor]

Wow, nice runs Allen,

Wonder what it these guys are doing for 1800+

Think it is as simple as the chip lottery or is there something we don't know ?

Good luck Dent, hope it is a monster ...... :thumbsup:

[Splave]

some hardware gold for ivy-e :)

low voltage ftw! 1.68v in win7 was happy, 1.60v in XP was happy

[Dentlord]

Jesus that chip is awesome grats bro!!!

Can't wait for mine to get here lol I'm on hold benching until I find a cpu to back up these KPE

Also picked up an EVGA Dark board to try out.

[Splave]

pretty strange 1.675v is unstable 6.1 in XP 1.600v is stable at 6.2 in XP....strange?

[GFDuke]

Let me know how you like your board Dent. Honestly, I've only tried mine on my SS and it didn't work out for me. Maybe we can share some findings.

Nice benching Splavacious!!

[Dentlord]

That is very weird, less voltage + 100mhz = stable lol not what you'd expect, makes me wanna tinker around with my 5.5 chip some more.

Nice benching Splavacious!!


I got a good deal on it, figured I'd give it a shot, I'll post results.

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Chuggin along, Broke the fan in it while making this run UGH!

[Splave]

broke the fan? lmao

[Dentlord]

I bet he overclocked the fan slider to 300% for a suicide air run XD

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

broke the fan? lmao


Guess Ill have to mount a block on it huh? Took it out for now :shock:

[Splave]

I bet he overclocked the fan slider to 300% for a suicide air run XD

hahaha

[ThreeDhero]

Some guys get all the Chips! looking good

[Dentlord]

My 4930 and Dark board are here but I won't be able to test them for a while my mom fell and broke her femur Saturday :( so I'll be at the hospital for a while.

[Witchdoctor]

Ahh... man, sorry to hear that, best of luck and hopefully she has a full and speedy recovery

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

I hope she's OK man!!!

[kikicoco1334]

Ouch! Hope she get well soon

[Kal-EL]

My 4930 and Dark board are here but I won't be able to test them for a while my mom fell and broke her femur Saturday :( so I'll be at the hospital for a while.

:ohcrap: Best wishes Dent.

[Dentlord]

Thanks guys sorry I shouldn't have posted that in the bench thread.

[GFDuke]

Don't worry about that. We trashed the hell out of your thread. lol

Best wishes!!

[DOM]

Hope your mom is doing good dent best of luck on a speedy recovery

[Splave]

keep your zombie lookin ass away from her!

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Hope your mom is doing good dent best of luck on a speedy recovery


BABY MAKER! you popped yer head out! :cool2:

I know I'm always late to the ball game but got a few bionts...............

[Dentlord]

Finally got to briefly test the 4930k + Dark board ...

It's nothing like Al's chip but it's far far better than my 5.5 one lol

When I have more time I'll do 3d test should do vantage ~5.8

Also need to pick the Splavinator's brain if I'm missing an important voltage this chip might really be good.

The Dark board is a beast, no trouble with quad channel mems, although they were at stock timings.

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

VERY NICE DL!
How the hell are you guys clocking them so high?

[Splave]

Looks great dent. Volts I use
1.68vcore in win7
1.6225vcore xp

1.375vtt aka vccio
1.300vccsa

Good luck!

[Dentlord]

Just bought an old one off ebay cause Splave got his there XD

Looks great dent. Volts I use
1.68vcore in win7
1.6225vcore xp

1.375vtt aka vccio
1.300vccsa

Good luck!

Thanks, looks about like what I was using:

1.65 vcore
1.3 vccio
1.25 vccsa

I was also trying to juice the PLL, did that seem to help you one way or the other?

[Dentlord]

After a little 3d test, looks exactly like I thought, 5.8 for vantage and 5.85 for '11 and FS

[Splave]

not bad at all man, not worth buying more imo with new stuff around the corner

[ThreeDhero]

Whats the time frame and whats coming up Splave?
Hope the chips are more like Ivy and not so much hasfail...

[Splave]

haswell refresh seems like more of the same but a bit better on air

[Witchdoctor]

yea, what I am pumped for is supposedly the Enthusiast level chips are supposed to actually based on the hassy refresh making them current instead of a gen behind, we will see if there is any truth to this as this would be significant. possibly 15% to 20% bump from current Ivy based chips :)

[GFDuke]

Busted my butt for this 10th Global 2x cpu and 8th 4340. I used the Maximus VI Impact board. The thing is smaller than my hand ffs. But a solid overclocking board for sure.

[Witchdoctor]

Nice job man, that board looks pretty mean and a mitx to boot :thumbsup:

[GFDuke]

Bios options are incredible on the thing. Idon't know what half of them are for.

[Witchdoctor]

That is effin crazy bro, what a great LAN box board . you could build an epic gamer in a shoebox size case

[GFDuke]

Features up the yang yang. WiFi ,Bluetooth,dedicated sound card. Insane board for it's size. Cool thing is that it's so small...when you get it cold the whole board gets cold. I think I'm going to search for a decent 4770K just for the fun of it.

[Kal-EL]

hot damn, I want two of those!
Stack it on a psu and go. just crazy.

[Splave]

duke tell you some tricks for higher bclk on these!

[GFDuke]

duke tell you some tricks for higher bclk on these!

:thumbsup: Awesome!!

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

I wanna hang out! :laughing:

[Witchdoctor]

Nice run, you using latest and greatest ?

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Nice run, you using latest and greatest ?

I just got it after that run, the 3.1.1? Does it improve scores? Oh yeah I took unmbra uno! :thumbsup:

[Dentlord]

Awesome Philly!

I'm bored so I am about to dip my toe in the waters of freezing ram lol

Just gonna try some 2133 c7 stuff and see how it all works under cold.

This Ney pot from KPC is awesome!!
