So after llano released I wanted to give it a shot but never got around to it. Now finally after so long I’m going back to it. (See previous posts for motherboard and CPU shots)
Picked up the Gigabyte A75-UD4H and 3870K for around $160CAD total so it couldnt hurt
I decided to do some preliminary CPU tests under cold air. For those of you that do not know, Llano does not clock nearly as well as Phenom II did on air. Max stable air clocks for my chip are around 3.5GHz on the corsair H50 so I’m using cold air to give a little bit more headroom for benchmarks.
About -10C outside currently.
Just did some quick and dirty chilled H2O runs with my corsair H50 on the 3870K. Corsair rad was put out the window in -10C weather.
Ram was left at a stock XMP profile, just overclocking with multiplier here. Untuned Win 7 X64
3.8Ghz Cinebench………….the 3.4GHz result was actually done at 3.6

4.1GHz validation All 4 Cores………mm voltage
Validation

Thats all for tonight, the chip is back to folding for the time being.
When I get time to bench again, next up is some ram+GPU tuning and some 3d benchies vs stock benchies
