    A new Cinebench R11.5 test for verification of previous score. Same results 11.71 pts. The results in Cinbench 11.5 windows shows now from low 11.67 - 2x benc with 11.71 pts. All good :D @Mr. Fox @unclewebb

    So @Prema was kind enough to get me his BIOS, and it's excellent. I do have one issue that probably isn't a BIOS issue, but maybe related -- my core and ring voltages I have set to -155mv with Adaptive mode in the BIOS. After gaming for hours, my max voltage hits only 1.206v as expected. However, as soon as I put my laptop to sleep and then wake it up, everything seems to revert to stock settings. My max voltage is reported at greater than 1.35v, and my current voltage swings between 1.2 and 1.36 in normal idling as you would see with Stock (the BIOS still has my -155mv settings). As soon as I do a fresh reboot again, my undervolt is back, it's only when I wake from sleep that I lose undervolt. I don't have Intel XTU or any other clock modifiers installed.

    Does anyone else have this issue? This is the only thing I can find related to this. Some people are saying it's a Skylake issue with Adaptive mode:

    https://hardforum.com/threads/skyla...-vcore-adaptive-mode.1875212/#post-1041852489

    I guess the obvious thing to do here is to either not use sleep, or to not use Adaptive mode and see if I still get this issue, but I wanted to post here to see if someone else might be able to check if they see this as well.

    I bet you if you run AIDA64 Extreme Stability Test for 4 mins and have HWiNFO on the side, your temps will reach above 95C and fry your CPU

    It's hard to go under 1.300v load voltage with 4.8GHz. And I think my processor is colder than yours in bench :rolleyes:

    Wish I had one. But this one have to be good enough for me I think. I do not have much money(I'm retired because of illness :(). My wife will KILL me if I order from that site :eek: I keep on talking nicely with my wife... Then it might become an extra 330W PSU for me.
    And of course I do not want to kill my machine. Not sure I get back on warranty, LOL

    HaHa. Not even a Ac, but I use my mod U3. Remember I live in a country there you don't need a air conditioner and you would probably not want to stay there(Rainy and not so warm climate) :p https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway
    I have short phone videos of some of my best bench. I will probably show it when I have time. I bench the beast on the dining/coffee table in my living Room. And I haven't a fancy computer table in a nice office either, LOL

    I believe it is called Norway.

    Great score Papusan. :vbthumbsup:

    Wonder how one of those BGA D1587's would do against it :D

    I checked the Asic-score it is 77%

    As stated I am on stock vBIOS. I reread the core-voltage under load: 1,118V
    Running UniHeaven results in a core-temp of 65°C with fan´s on full speed.

    What is your load core-voltage?

    Your card have high Asic score and the voltage is normally lower. My card run with 1.143v. You have probably smaller headroom for higher oc duo the lower voltage because of high Asic score.

    Well as far as i know, none of us here use Suspend or Sleep modes at all. At least not me.
    It is probably related to suspend states, someone else will have to chime in.

    Yeah. High Asic card is no guarantee for an ok Oc at stock voltage. But often are those cards quite suitable for overclocking in sub zero temperatures. High/medium and even low Asic cards will give a nice bump in Clockspeed if you put on suitable voltage. All depends on whether you are lucky with the cards :)

    Is there a CMOS reset button somewhere on the P870DM? I didn't change many settings, so I'm guessing that it's just too high of a multiplier to boot (x48 on 1350 static, doubt this is high enough to fry the CPU since I see people running 1400). I've pulled the main battery and CMOS battery under the KB for 30 seconds while holding the power button, but it still just powers on and lights the keyboard with no fans spinning.

    EDIT: Never mind. Found the post by @Mr. Fox and waited longer, and it cleared right up. Glad we have such a dedicated overclocker on this platform.

    that's why I set the option in CPU Options for boot mode to: Max Non-Turbo Performance, that way I won't face an issue if my OC settings are very high as it gives me a chance to get into BIOS to change them before they bump to the higher speed

    I do the opposite. I like that my computer boot with maximum Turbo Speed. Yet another indication that you have selected the correct voltage vs clockspeed. If your computer has trouble booting up with your chosen settings, they are not stable enough. Then I would try new settings, although this may involve to reset the CMOS.

    What I meant is while testing, set it to non-Turbo performance, after you have verified your settings are fine, then you can set it to Max Performance. Better than doing an NVRAM reset :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Same thing happened to me! Undervolted by 150mv and after waking from sleep, the cpu would go back to 1.3+V and only a reset would fix it.

    It think this is not a bios issue, but rather an issue with adaptive voltage. Other machines have reported issues with adaptive voltage and sleep. I've decided I'll no longer use sleep.

    I have never ever used adaptive voltage, hybrid boot or sleep. Fast boot is disabled in bios. + A lots of people have problems with hybrid boot. I prefer a clean boot every time. A new modern pc today is fast enough to start up without the need of this junk.

    New score by BGA PUSSY-CRUSHING KILLER in Wprime 32M 4.222 sec (It would have been nicer with 2.222 sec. But this is impossible, HaHa) for the front page @Phoenix This is begin to look good :D. I Jerked up a notch also in HWBOT Wprime rankings :p

    Just got an email from Ted, that they will overnight my new 980 tomorrow at no extra cost. WOW.
    Cant wait to OC the new one.
    @Papusan How are you improving your scores at the same frequency?

    Everything is possible. You are not stuck to just one and only score with the same clockspeed. There is a reason you want benching more than one time in the same Bench and same clockspeed ;) Not big change in scores... But all improvement is like an orgasm :rolleyes: :biggrin:

    Not a very big secret. But I avoid all the new garbage that comes from Win update + that you love benching like me. Be happy and start the day with one or two rounds bench tests + of course sit down with a big cup coffee and enjoy :D. Maybe one day you will see a better and inproved score... It also helps that everything works as it should ;)
    It will be bad bench results if something similar in the picture happens :D But M$ will love to help all overclockers later with next build of the colored tile **** Os, HaHa. +rep to the Redmond Morons :nah:

    I do not think Futuremark is in the pocket at M$ yet ;). People have paid for the Bench software. Futuremark can't denying people with win7/8. Or force them over to WinCrap X.

    Have you selected the test you want to install in the 3Dm suite?

    When you first install it, Fire Strike isn't installed just the main app, you need to click on more benchmarks, then install Fire Strike.

    That's how it was for me (purchased and installed through Steam)
