Waco Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Well BluePanda's board is no better. It blue screened on boot twice...till we cranked the RAM voltage WAAAAAY past what it really needed to be. It then proceeded to blue screen in Windows after showing no onboard LAN. I'm getting pretty close to saying "crap this CPU". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonerboy779 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I am in agreement here with the amount of raving waco has done sputtering ready for and getting this cpu it is unfortunately not performing and "crap this cpu" sums it up. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I wouldn't be anywhere near as mad if the motherboard vendors had a halfway decent BIOS available for this CPU. I expected to spend today having fun overclocking this beast but instead I've just been fighting to boot at anything but auto mode...

Bosco Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I bet its user error. You know its usually the delete key or F1 to get in the BIOS right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Well here's a sample of what it does at stock speeds with my completely screwed BIOS. 3DMark Vantage (X3-X4 @ 3.4 GHz): http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3553389 3DMark Vantage (FX-8120 @ stock): http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3555873 3DMark06 (X3-X4 @ 3.4 GHz): http://3dmark.com/3dm06/15984837 3DMark06 (FX-8120 @ stock): http://3dmark.com/3dm06/16127995 3DMark03 won't submit for some reason but my old score with the Phenom II was ~96k. I get ~70k now. Why isn't Turbo Core working? Note that with the Vantage tests the FPS dropped by a HUGE margin...the only reason the score is higher is the higher CPU score (which is pathetic for an "8 core" CPU). Turbo Core is clearly not all it's made up to be... Edited October 14, 2011 by Waco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
