I google searched those X48 boards from Gigabyte, and they aren't that great : LINK + I don't think Doom 3 benchmark run is long and CPU heavy enough, to actually overload my VRM section.

As you see two mosfets has less cooling but there are many of them so it dosnt matter much and I have an extra fan pushing air over the whole VRM area when overclocking Pentium D and Pentium D EE. This did not help with throttling over 4.6 GHz though. Yeah... My board looks like this : https://www. …

Well with my fan I have another problem : My VRM's can't do more than 4,87-4,93GHz (power throttling, or AMD FX-9xx0 syndrome) :/ Basicly : I can cool down CPU, but I can't cool VRM's fast enough to make performance stable/rise with higher clocks. Guess 16 MOSFETs (8 power phases from doubler, PWM …

It's not FSB's fault, since I used x12 multi to get it to 4,8GHz+. Wish U used SuperPI Mod 1.5 XS... SuperPI 1M mini.png As for throttling it's not possible :) I run The Division on this PC : LINK True, on -10MHz on CPU Core and 8GB of RAM, but still... PS.

That's why I didn't bought Ivy/Haswell/Broadwell so far. They just can't make the frequencies that legendary Sandy Bridge can :) True - they are all faster clock vs. clock than it, BUT they just can't scale with frequency that well. Performance = IPC x Frequency, and to me Sandy Bridge is (for now) …

Not all C2D's have L2 4MB (there are 2MB, and 3MB versions as well), also - U will have to OC most of them to beat 4,9GHz on that PXE :P Still - I'm not saying Core 2 Duo CAN'T beat PXE, im just saying it makes it a little bit more difficult than usual. Actually, Hyper Threading per core is +20%, so …

4.8 GHz is nice accomplishment, on the other hand performance will be very poor anyway... pretty much any C2D will crush it. In practice, Core 2 Duo with 2MB of L2 will need at least 2,8GHz clock to beat this thing (if HT works like it should may be over that) :) Pentium Dual Core's with 1MB will …

Don't know why so low on simulated 7800 GTX 512MB. OC'ing GPU to 700MHz (over 7900 GTX level) gives absolutly nothing in FPS (i checked in 3DMark - OC is active). Game v1.31

U aren't doing anything wrong. GT 710 is just second slowest 7xx series card. It's got 96SP with 128bit bus and (G)DDR3 memory. U should know that GT 710 is between 8600 GT(S) and 9600 GT in terms of performance (and closer to the former since 710 has got same 128bit bus width).
