AMD x4 970 BE C3 - how good is it in my hands?

[FlanK3r]

Ok,now its time to post some result :). First we see at default clock in 32-bit and 64-bit benchmarks, later some OC.
This 1028 DPMW is CPU with 1.375V as default.

MA790x-UD4
CM Hyper 212
Kingston Hyper-X 1066 MHz 5-5-5-15
HD3870
Seasonic 500W
Win XP 32-bit (later will coming 64-bit win7)


First some Everest benchmarks:

Now its tim for default superpi 1M, first AMD quad under 20s !

MaxxPI at 4M

Wprime 32M and 1024M (i like it:D )

Winrar and 7-zip benchmark, we need compresion too :)

Last before some OC testing is rendering in popular Cinebenchs.

And now what about overcloking? As always, i used classic CM Hyper 212 (board was MA790X-UD4). This CPU was a bit hot against last 965 C3. And big problem with this chip was, unfortunately, uncore:(...Maybe im not lucky at IMC here...reality is clear, i cant boot with 2800 MHz NB!! 2800 MHz for windows booting was not problem for my old x4 955 c2 revision. This chip topped at only about 2650 MHz at NB:(...But from other side, CPU clock was easyli nice against my last 965C3. One problem was temps, so, i must ended stable OC with 1.475V, others volts was crashed PC behind LINX or PRIME (temps was 63 C+). With better air cooling im sure, this chip can 4.1 GHz stable. With 1.475V was maximum at 4060 MHz.

Now some benchmarks with stable OC profile:

Quicktest in 64-bit R11.5 :)

Under 16s superpi 1M (as i said, this chip has really bad NB....)

wprime 32M 4200 MHz +

1.475V - 4420 MHz idling

1.505V - 4520 MHz

So, later (not today, but this month) il benching 64-bit and more maximum benchmarks at top clocks this chip, think, limit for validation is baout 4550-4580 Mhz, superpi limit at 4400 MHz maybe, 3Dmark about 4200 MHz

喔...4.5G很輕鬆喔....

跟之前說得不太好超好像不一樣捏~~=..=

看來這顆的潛力也不小...

不過那電壓看起來好恐怖

Little update.
At this weekend i benched a bit my last quad- Phenom x4 970 BE again. As always to time i used CM Hyper 212 and have ambients between 20-24 C :)
First i wanted to broken 4500 MHz and i was hope so for better hit than my x4 965 BE. It was done :), 4580 MHz with 1.55V :)

Next some 3D Cinebenchs (32 bit and 64-bit)

My x4 965 BE got simillary score, but with more lower ambients!





wprime 32M a 1024M





Superpi 1M/32M and Hexuspi






In next stage will benching Aquamark, 3D marks and maybe try 4600 MHz validation :). (and my new toy - 980x CPU )

聽說這個版本的是不能開核的，到時970預計會在市場上看到嗎?如果極限在4G還有人會下手嗎

think, my chip is locked, so, its Deneb core ....
