Can the Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional push AMD FX 6 core and 8 core processors close to the way my CHV does? That is the question.
A respected member of the forum loaned out his Fatal1ty board and an FX-6300 cpu to put under my water block to see what would happen since he is hard pressed getting ready for his busiest season of the year. Thank you, C_D.
Okay just to sort of whet one's appetite and get the main thing he wanted me to do out of the way. That is to pour the coals to it and see if it would even get into winders at 5.5GHz. You will just have to wait and see.
I am going to try and get some decent bios pics and now that the moon-shots are out of the way, will resort back to my more logical style of benchmarking this board and cpu just as I have done my CHV and FX-8350.
Since this is really as much about the board as anything, I am putting this thread in the AMD motherboard section and not the cpu section. The FX-6300 is fast but oh how much more Vcore this one takes than my FX-8350. I think AMD has their cpu binning down to a science now for sure.
It is not a bad looking board to my eye but I sort of like reds and maroonish colors so it was not difficult to get my head around the thing and mount her up to the bench.
EDIT:
Post #3 and Post #4 below in thread have information added to them now.

EDIT:
I added a chart comparing the Vcore needed between an FX-6300 and my FX-8350 CPU.

Posted up some stress testing to check out stability and posted them at this link.

I said that any additional charts or captures would be updated and location shown from this first post of the thread. Here are new uploads with captures of the benches I ran thru.
Round-up of images and results for my FX-8350 on loaner Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional motherboard. Cinebench R 11.5 and 3D06 CPU Test Only...

Plenty of geewhizzes to plug stuff into it seems.
So will reserve a few pages to see how it all goes.
