Wondering the same here for 3950X + C8H WiFi currently BIOS 3801, powered by latest Linux.
What are the impacts and benefits of AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b within BIOS 4004 ?
B/c you don't have to reboot. Just set the multiplier from the desktop ;)
CPU examples:
* Usage: I'm changing clock as needed depending if I'm coding (idle) or building kernels (high)
* Settings: I keep an eye on the Processor features.
Turbo is for instance disabled when Processor is...
I wonder if you go with the W3690-70 processors (those with unlocked ratios), you can modify multiplier values of register
MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT and overclock cores without the help of the BIOS.
Linux provides the msr.ko module to read/write such register.
If you run Linux, I would suggest you to try CoreFreq to check your DDR geometry and latencies for X58 QPI.
Stress features also included to reach the highest turbo ratio per Core
Disable NMI Watchdog;
insmod the Kernel driver with Experimental=1
Start daemon in one term and cli in another.
Great ! Can't wait too see your results.
Btw, in GitHub or in Live CD, the corefreq_online_update command will fetch the last stressing functions. Go to the Tools sub menu.
Enjoy
With my venerable X58 setup I have programmed a processor monitoring software which shows Turbo Cores frequency , IPC, Pkg & C-States, Temps, SNB Voltages.... in RT. For example cpuid capabilities, Uncore, QPI, DDR cas & geometry...
CoreFreq is open source into the GitHub...
Hey ! added the H50 to the V351 --> http://ccy.free.fr/
Used 4 x holed plastic strips to desaxe its fan.
Btw, old NF-P12 fan is installed beside it , and no issue closing the side door.
Minus 10°C during OCCT load @ full 1600 rpm ( noisy ) ;
Much lower temp during video encoding using...
Hi Frost, please find some bench I did a few months a go
( CPU in MIPS using 7zip , GPU using Unigine )

Let me know yours and the impact of the H50 during benchmark
The idea of the plate is good especially it won't cancel the case waranty
I'm mainly using Linux. Stock clock Core i7 delivers 45000 mips , last best overclocking reached 52000
Win Seven score is 7.5 CPU 7.8 Memory
I notice that you are using a SSD : I wonder how it can increase encoding
For...
I also change for a Noctua 8 cm fan at back. It turns @ 1500 rpm but does help cooling down case
Go for a 120 mm if U decide to mod
Btw U should find in another V351 thread, same forum, some mods where PSU and HDD fan have been swapped, allowing 120 mm fan and better air dissipation.
I not a...
