It is hard to say, could it be thermal shutdown sure, it could be. I have seen a few people run their Fx 83xx chips 24/7 well in to the 80's for weeks with out a crash, never mind thermal shutdown. Could it still be the case for you yeah, but in my experience you will Bluescreen or freeze during benching before you have thermal shutdown.

Yeah, I agree with your assessment.

Over the holidays will try to find some good deals on increased cooling as well as a new PSU...
Any recommendations for a PSU in the 550-650w range?

There is a link in my signature to good PSUs... check there. Otherwise, there are nice 550W XFX units around and I like the EVGA 500B.

Just doing a test ATM

First page of this thread E_D, I have put the per core/thread score beside the original for illustration.

Interesting.
Now to see how it fairs in practice.
Will post new run later, as I assume the trial rules are not retrograde?

That is the opinion of qualified reviewers. It is like Chuck Norris, you don't need another opinion. :rofl:

Now get to studying and less OT stuff here! :p

I would like to keep this discussion in the rules section LRG5. If you read through that you'll understand what I'm doing.
 
1st time in this thread and it already has 6 pages :)
Btw. I was trying to run it on my 6600K but benchmark can't find my hardware. I get an error that program was searching for hardware for 45 seconds but couldn't find it :p
 
That's weird cause E_D got it to run on his 6700k
 
Updated java to latest version and it started to work. I think it's something about my motherboard as some other programs have problems to see voltages, all clocks like bclk etc. AIDA64 started to see all clocks and voltages ( except memory ) when I reinstalled OS and all drivers.

So new bios is better but not perfect?
 
Edited my last post with result :)

BIOS fixed most issues. I still can't set high voltages on Hynix RAM but I can live without it. Really good board I can say, just have to spend some more time to check all options and higher CPU clocks. So far I was mainly testing memory.
 
I would ask that all parties who participate in the monthly marathon to have a look here. In the interest of keeping things a bit leveler across platforms we've been discussing a percore style scoring or limiting the # of cores to 4. I would be very interested in hearing from as many as possible about the style and timeline for implementation.
 
Handicap still makes me think of golf....
With limiting to 4, I would just go into BIOS and disable cores 5/6 for the purposes of benching right? or in the case of Octo's 5/6 7/8.

Do the majority of boards/BIOS versions have the option to manually enable/disable cores?
 
A little bump up from my previous score...

Moved your post to this thread...:snipe:


Depends on the board. Not sure in AMD world, but most midrange enthusiast class motherboards in the Intel world do.
