Crosshair IV Extreme - High HTT, high MEM board
Hey guys,
For last month's OC challenge I was using the 790FX-GD70 as in a previous OC challenge it proved to be a very efficient board memory-wise. The problem was, however, that this board was very limited for PCMark runs. I had to run either: - 325HTT, 3:8 866MHz CL6 or - 342HTT, 1:2 684MHz CL5 With the 1:2 divider, I wasn't able to pass 330MHz and on LN2 I was completely HTT-limited at 370MHz. Not so good in other words. Since yesterday, I have the C4E on the test bench for a while and ... in the first few tests, the board looks REALLY decent. Especially given that it's a DDR3 board. Here are some preliminary results.

All screenshots with less than 1.4V are air cooling, the ones with more than 1.5V are with single stage

So what's the maxx htt on air on your board?
 I guess this is a CPU limitation anyway...

Haven't really pushed the HTT on air. Raw HTT is meaningless anyway ... there's no performance in running single channel

You need high HTT on LN2 anyway, which is why I like to test these things on air as well. Just trying to figure out if it's my board that can't do more than 365 or so, or the CPU

I have one that can't even do 315, it's in the socket atm. Funny thing is: it can do 400+++ on LN2, on a different board of course
