So I propped my laptop close to a window to prevent overheating on these runs. It’s great to know I can actually get this APU to run CB at 3GHz. Impressive for a laptop chip.
First here’s a 2.9GHz @ 1.2500V run to show scaling
Then the 3GHz @ 1.2875V run
With a score of 3.50 that puts this little APU in the same ballpark as Phenom II at 3GHz.
Pretty impressive for a laptop APU. Thanks for checking it out guys!
Here is my post taken from this hilarious OCN Thread
-I’ve baked 3 graphics cards
-Killed a x1300 hard modding it
-Lots of pencil modding. Did my 5870 tonight:
-I have delidded around 3 Phenom II’s, one was an ES, 3 were 740 X3′s. I killed all except for one 740 either by crushing the core after delidding, or killing the chips in the delidding process:
-Put my finger in a fan today and sustained a large cut
-Spilled my melted slushbox cooling water (which had salt for lower tempertures) on my internet modem. I heard a sizzling and it would not power on. Salt water is super conductive. But eventually I dried the thing out and it still works fine to this day.
-I cooled my beers down with dry ice.
-I flip over cans of dust off and spray the super cold liquid (-50C) to cool down my cpu or graphics a bit during air benching
-I put my PC fully out my window fully exposed and caseless in -25C weather regularily. I did tonight for some 3D runs. One particular time there was a blizzard and I killed 2 790FXT-UD5P’s within 24 hours.
-Overclocking and benching with DICE while inebriated
-Plugging and unplugging harddrives and fans while the system is running
-Taken a pellet gun to a lidless 6000+ X2
-Slicing my finger open with an exacto knife while delidding a processor.
-Taking voltage measurements from the wrong spots on my 5870 and nearly killing the card.
-Sometimes for fun, I run 1.9 volts through my chips (555 X2, 955 X4, 1090T X6) on air cooling. I have yet to kill a CPU from voltage.
I recently won a small time benchmarking competition on OCN. Had tonnes of fun. You can check out the competition thread here.
I managed to pull off all my scores a few days before the deadline. I used my regular setup, but through it in the windowsill for some cooler air intake.
