not really. At 4.5 I beat a 5GHz 3770k, which is not possible at all. no where near with him having a 500MHz lead. Both are working, just not teh greatest. 4 thread jumps around. Turning off HT solves it. I guess the 6 core Intels and 6 and up AMDs can disable cores for that test. Its not hard.
8 thread just seems off. Unless I got a really strong chip, or his 3770k is set up incorrectly or somehow defective, which I doubt both of.
Having run prime95 for 8 hours, I know the OC is stable. But w/e.
hmm.. I can't say how stable his OC is, but I would think that he would have tested it.
they run hotter in OC from what I have herd. I was going to go with a 3770k when I upgraded, but I could not see the extra for almost no gain in performance.
I agree, lets wait for another.
OT a bit, but what settings are you using for 4.9 @ 108? I tried 108 * 43 for mine @ every volt setting between 1.250 and 1.400 and none of them would boot. . I assume your running 45 x 108, but @ what volts?
