5Ghz + submisions with Asrock motheboards

Exactly why I posted it here

AOD > CPU Status - Thermal Margin To the rest of that you posted above, running all 8 cores at 5.0 and above is a feat. A feat of the motherboard as well seeing I far exceeded the 220W TDP by doing 5.0 on 8. Stock 4.7 to 4.75 its running 8 cores but above 4.75 it begins dropping the least productive cores to focus on 4 then 2(?) cores. I'm coming to the conclusion you hold something against AMD .......

No, I just don't like the ambiguity of AMD's CPU temperature reporting.

Since I'm an AMD noob, explain this: AOD > CPU Status - Thermal Margin.

Plus, I still don't see a value for the FX-9590's maximum temperature. What is it?

This is a serious, honest question. Nothing sarcastic or implied about it.

I'll let the rest go... for now.

I'm supposed to comment on the temperatures, since I'm a naysayer about AMD processor temperatures of some sort, according to wardog.

So I'll remain in Naysayer mode, with a capital N.   I am good at that, learned it from my father. As he would say, "I'm not prejudiced, I hate everyone". A more accurate term would be cynic. So full cynic mode it is!

So we have a full 5GHz submission here... hmm, isn't 5GHz the stock Turbo speed of the FX-9590? Yes it is. Oh wait, I see you hit 5,053.5MHz when the Buss Clock hit 202.1MHz, as it wandered around a bit. The thread title is 5GHz + submissions, so that has been achieved.

Now temperature time. But the question is, what to comment on? AMD processor temperature readings are done differently than Intel. Intel has no concept of the "socket temperature", and which temperature readings HWiNFO64 assigns to its various labels for AMD processors is not obvious, IMO.

For example, the CPU Package temperature is normally the highest temperature reading for an Intel processor. That can be the highest single core temperature of an Intel processor, but is higher than that temperature for the HEDT processors, up to ~10C, although that levels out as the core temperatures approach their maximum, 100C for most Intel processors, 105C for HEDT processors.

The maximum specified temperature of an FX-9590 is... not easy to find.

The CPU Package temperature, as I saw with my FX-9590, are impossibly low. Mine at idle would show single digit values, sub-ambient. That must really be a delta above some base value, which might be the ambient or possibly socket temperature. The maximum value there of 46C would seem to be very close to a delta above the socket ambient temperature, of ~20C.

The other CPU temperature shows a maximum of 59.5C, which is mighty fine for a VCore of 1.552V. We don't see CPU core usage quite at 100%, but very close.

Time for an OC, I look forward to seeing that!

Xaltar, I'm thinking move these non-Benchmark posts to elsewhere for just that reason you touch upon there.

Whatd'ya say?
