first LN2 tests with AMD Phenom II in Germany by AwardFabrik and benchbrothers.de
With my friends from
www.benchbrothers.de which have also one of the few Denebs in Germany I met today 120km away from my home to quickly test some Denebs with 25 LN2.

Normally I wanted to test 3x4870 and finally break 100k in 03 with full AMD but for some reason the score with my driver was terrible and trying to install the new one ended up with a totally messed up gpu driver. I also had this kinda think during G|C - starts to get on my nerves with thoose ATI driver *****
So I started LN2 the first time and when I did 5390 1m I thought it might be good to go out for a smoke. afterwards system was frozen and did not wanted to boot anymore. CPU was stuck to the pot for around 2 hours ^^
After some time in the oven I tried with 3-4l LN2 again and did following things:
Validations are finally working!!!! TY CPUz-Support

I had to leave then but the benchbrothers already did 5.7gig while I was almost leaving - think they will beat me easy
: There was one main difference to notice: I had to run HT 2.0 as A79A-S is missing an option to change this until now. in overdrive I can only use 6x at lowest - but even with that I could run -155°C at 1.85V without a problem. -160°C it freezed. jens and hoschi could run -195°C on destroyer with ht link 1.0 and 5x multiplier. problem with destroyer is the missing AOD and the aegis panel won't work good
else this combo would have a lot more in it. for the moment I say A79A-S is the better foxconn board under cold for deneb. on air the destroyer seemed a bit better.
6 gig is definitly doable - I hadn't the time to go for 1.9V+ but I don't expect that much more from more voltage. maybe a better bios, different ram, lower htt (I was running 220 all the time for some performance) could improve stability but that's for next time
only one thing is for sure:
AMD loves cold again!!!
