People just don't want to believe it. I can't tell you how many times it's been said, but people still ask.

Just last week I tested two 3939B chips, one was nothing special, and the other one resulted in a .9Vcore for 4.0GHz

That sucks. You should just give me the board and ram, since you don't need them anyway.

Fitseries3 · Dec 11, 2009

for a price i would.

$500 shipped

Chicken Patty · Dec 11, 2009

Why is that fit? Anything go up in smoke or something? Hope not.

just playing the waiting game.

Same here..Waiting on a couple of 295's to come in.

How many 295's have you had :laugh:

You had two right? You waiting on two more?

I was thinking more in the range of $000.00 + maybe shipping?

But then remember there is a recession fee which is $500 :laugh:

Wile E is that Santa pissing off your roof! haha

Anyways what kind of CPU you getting Fit, anything thats made with a 32nm process...?

Yep, sure is. (Well not my roof, just a roof)

Fit, what happened to your i9?

Chicken Patty · Dec 12, 2009

Little Bench Session. Figured out how to go higher on BCLK, now to try wprime with my newly found secrets (secrets to me, sure lots of you know it) But i'll try it tomorrow or something.

Best Wprime of the night, but this was before I found out how to go above that clock.

Best Super pi

Both are personal bests for me.

I was able to get the RAM to run with a divider of 8, but failed after a pass or two of super pi. I'll work on that next as well.

My highest validation as well

Nice job CP

Thanks hammer, it's pretty exciting seen 4.7+GHz on CPUz :laugh:

look at the temps on the wprime run, mega is doing pretty good handling high clocks/voltage. However, I have now placed it back on the tech station. Dropped temps like 10ºc

Nice work, from my experience if you had better RAM you will get higher CPU MHz. My RAM did 953MHz 7-7-6-18 SP 32M before

on stock 1.65v.

Also try and get higher uncore MHz.

might sound silly, I've had i7 for a year already but I never really benched much. So now that I actually spent like an hour tweaking and benching, I achieved about 100 Mhz over what I had before. But 100 MHz at such high clocks is impressive, so as I now learned new things, I'll start tweaking the uncore and stuff like that. I plan on getting some better RAM down the line. Looking at Dominaotr GT's.

After updating my bios, and reset it to default. I were too lazy to set back the settings for my OC, and I have been running default for over a month now.
I realized, there's no need to OC, it's already too fast at default :laugh:

Hey CP, if you need to run the ram on the 2:6 divider, try running 6-6-6-20 and uncore at 18x. Might give you better times. I think I might see what I can get out of the latest 920 I have this weekend. It's been crunching at 4.0 with just over 1.2v. Might be pretty good.

This ram is not great bro, I tried running 8-8-8-24 once and wasn't too stable. already feeding it 1.7v. maybe needs some more voltage.

Thanks for the suggestion though! :toast:

Nice clocks CP, I am liking the wPrime time.

To all the people who didn't believe me when I said there was no plan in the i9 road-map for non-extreme edition 6 cores, eat my shorts!
