Very Interesting

Would love to see more categories to fight such as BCLK , Mem. Clock & other 3DMark though, since the past 3 FM2 competition(ECS,GBT and MSI) already have the same 'targets' (CPU-Z n 3DVantage).

Oh well, hitting the IT Mall tomorrow , hopefully the board is available :)

Cheers,

haha this is a good game

let the hunting begin!

Very interesting, I would have to buy motherboard and CPU for this and that cost almost similar to the prize, but seems interesting and funny for participate.

If I can find good components, maybe I enter to this one...just for fun.

So.....this is a 5800K competition?

Question!

"Each contestant is only eligible to win 1 (one) prize. Grand prize or weekly, no repeat winners

If a contestant qualifies for multiple prizes, he/she will win the Grand Prize or the first weekly prize he/she qualified for"

Does that mean that if someone wants to win the grand prize, they can only submit scores in week 4?

As I understand, you can win each stage but only the gran prize will be given to you, the week prizes will be delivered to the second place in competition.

Yeah, seems a 5800K competition.

So.....this is a 5800K competition?

 

For the 3DMarkVantage stage, it probably is.....

but for the CPU-Z stage, maybe there will be 5400K / 5600K strong enough to compete with 5800k in raw frequency? (I never tried the 5600k and/or 5400k so I don't know about this one)

Speaking of which, the ASRock A85 board turned to be out of stock , had to wait until the local distributor have it in their stock again , argh... (T_T)

For cpuz yeah, but buy two APU cpus would cost more than buy the prizes for your own.

I will go today to the store, I guess that all of you guys are looking for the A85X Extreme6?

I'm still thinking if enter or not....

for cpuz too i think

as i see the 5400/5600k is not so good for max cpuz

Nice Competition with a good prize......but that's to be equal with the prize for buying A10 n A85X Extreme 6 =))

haha it's just a benginning

Lol we now....

in 1st stage... hard to find golden cpu here..

IGP would be more interesting..

Dude, I'm not sure which one is harder, finding a golden A10-5800K, or actually finding the FM2A85X Xtreme6 motherboard in our country - the local distributor sucks! LOL :D

Please use 102S bios and 0.1.312.5 tool

enabled master power mode will help APU OC

thanks

im in!

im in!

Wow 10 Pieces! Goodluck there mate , hope u find a 8Ghz one ;)

im in!

$129 each that just makes me sad. good luck bro

Nickshin should help us with the motherboard from ASRock to all the world

wow, I only can buy one 5800K...

Any way, I'm out even without enter...the 5800k was easy to find but the board in the other way isn't. I can buy it in Newegg and import it but would arrive at home at the middle of the competition...

Good lucks guys

$129 each that just makes me sad. good luck bro

would be happy to export for you unless they hammer you with taxes either way

Allen just bought all the bad chips! Such a kind and helpful guy

brown hand strikes again, taking all the sh1t chips out of circulation for you guys

The amd must love these contests, that is good for disposing the A10 5800K stock!

I already buy

Just to clarify, for the CPU-Z stage discrete graphics are allowed! So not just APU.

@ splave, thanks for the offer bud but I think after shipping and tax they will cost about the same. $175

looks like there is no 2nd hand market in South Africa for FM2 at the moment just compounding the issue. I will be putting all my FM2 dreams into 2 chips.

Please enabled the Master power mode for APU oc

I was just informed the Extreme6 board will arrive in Indonesia next week :woot:

Don't forget the Art of Overclocking

I hate this so much haha

like dr.weez said....

still can't get my hands on a mobo.......oh well........

No distribution in Singapore ?

Hi everyone Any way to make this M/B work with Samsung MV-3V4G3D/US (Samsung HYK0 chips) with 1866/2133/2400 dividers ? Works perfectly with 1600 @ overclocks with base clock all the way up to the max 136 = 1090MHz/DDR3-2180 easy but thats not enough of course / Whats even more strange that it will boot with 1866/2133 and 2400 dividers WHEN paired with a stick of Team Xtreem but once i take it out (team xtreem module) it just hangs on boot with Code 32 again . All manual timings/subtimings - same thing ... Tryed every bios from officials to L1.02S NickShih kindly provided ... Reflashing memory spd realy is the last option here or maybe theres hope for fixed/moded bios soon ?

this really funny nothing different score with different on GPU Core...but I have fixed already

mantap

oh well starting to learn a little -45c SS

bios updated .. Vdimm limit is unlock to 2.0 volt

larger OCP value for PWM

Nope. Been in contact with distributor but still no stock. The only media sample is locked down by someone. Guess i will give this a missed. Pity since i have 3 cpu on standby

not many OCerz join this competitions..

International shops? Or would shipping be too high?

Screwed up my 5600K I think, 101 BCLK and crash.

try to change your memory / RAM bro..

Thanks for the tip, I`ll try it later.

fix AMD internal clock bug !

http://picx.xfastest.com/nickshih/asrock/FA85EX6102x.rar

Internal clock DID issue? :D

Always support to Hazzan Jadid Go go go.,

Cant submite scores to FM, says "test aborted" when trying to submite the saved file ...

go kang hasan..

i know some guys can modify MSR to get AMD internal clockgen bug . And cpuz will identify wrong value.

Asrock FM2 extreme6 doesn't have external clockgen. So the maximum bclk is 136 , cpu ratio is 63.

If anyone posts the cpuz record over this range . It will be considered as bug result , i will ask HWBOT to remove it .

So HTT values I had today (in MHz): 275, 180, 41, 33, 75, 166, 685

All validated by cpuz and valid.canardpc

Also this latest bios seems so bunnyed up, whatever multiplier I set I have another value displayed in CPUZ.

I set 55, I have 34

I set 34, I have 21

Sometimes i even had 5x, 6x and 11x

Wasnt even logic, full random values for HTT and Multi.

Wasted 16 hours and LN2. Turned out it wasnt me but the BIOS 1.02X. Too late to test older ones maybe Roger will tomorrow. I am out, I give up, Screw you guys I am going home!

if u use all software together ... u will make this happen

bcz each software use different way to set the ratio and bclk

Just checked the CPU MSR Register, If value is out of range , it will became the lowest = 90MHz. the MSR value is correct if during 90-135 HTT. DID and FID Value seem incorrect if internal clock out of range, only 91-135 is correct if MB haven't External PLL Clock Gen.

out of ln2 good luck guys! Kinda of happy to be done with APU for now

will try my luck today with last CPU ...

Everyone have new year holidays in China,I haven't enough LN2 to run 3dmark vantage now,so I wish everybody good luck！

Good Fun but with the death of my backup CPU I am done with the platform.

Thank you ASRock and HWbot, well done to the winners.

I heard what sort of end results there will be in this contest, so I put my scores up already

Too bad that I did not get any candy money, but it was fun to bench IGP anyway.

Good luck to the ones who are still keeping backups and congratulations for the winners!

Well, gess this is the dead end now It was great to participate on this run! Thank you ASRock for this contest At least I've got a CPU-Z week win 5 CPU's have died, so I wasn't able to improve my scores, nor even understood how to work with PSCheck

Thank you ASRock, again and thank you NickShih for all the supert!

Cheers!

Didn't have enough cash to bin CPU's, i had a nice cpu but it's IMC was limited at 1150mhz O_O.. so no 1300 gpu memory for me.

Board dead now, fortunately the cpu is still alive....Still can't figure out why my vantage gpu score is so low though..

Was actually wishing to spend some more time to play with the board , but I had my share of APU fun so it's OK :D

Congrats for the winners, really tight competition and a lot of crazy score ! Respect :ws:

Also thanks to Nick Shih for the BIOS , really helpful

See ya around guys
