So is Premium something I download in-game? I redeemed the code and no download started.

Click on the little more info tab on top of the BF3 icon and it will tell you what DLC you have and if it is downloaded.

Found it, but it's not letting me start the download. Do I have to wait until the full game finishes?

Calling you..

Hit 5.2 @ wait for it... 1.62V

I posted, then booted into WIndows.. checked CPU-Z and rebooted again for more. Found this out about my board, it doesnt like a multiplier past x24.5.. I can OC the HT and CPU by just increasing the base clock.. my max base clock OC is 216MHz (as far as I know)

Now I haven't ran a new bench because my MOBO started smelling burt and is toooo hot to keep your hand on it. Will let it cool off then run a another bench tonight. Wish me luck on 10500.

Also, my Trident X RAM came in for benching. 8GB (2x4GB) 2600 9-11-11-31

1.62?

My AMD knowledge is limited. I assume that is not quite as insane of a voltage as it would be on Intel. Pretty sure I'd kill even my delidded watercooled haswell with that voltage.

Working on a trade to get a Phenom II 1055T and a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Motherboard for a mobo I have that I have about $70 tied up in. That 1055T sales for $90-$120 on Ebay and Amazon used still.

ETA: Going to use it to do a build to sell.

I think you need to try launching it first after the full game finishes. I redeemed both codes first, then started the download. Once it said it was done, I tried to launch the game, and that's when it started another large file update that took another few minutes. I assume that was the DLC.

And then I tried to launch it again, and it took my to a browser.

Then I tried to launch the game from the browser, and it told me to download a browser plugin first.

Eventually, you get to play. Eventually.


I'm just playing TDM. Got raped some. Now dinner.

Playing bf3 is a ridiculous process. Good thing it's a great game.

nice, yeah that's how I've been doing mine.

240 on frequency and then adjusting the multiplier. It gives me my HT speed and 1599 on my ram.

Premium was downloaded with the game and my DLC started up right after. I've probably got about 1 1/2 hours or maybe less until all the DLC finishes. I'll probably play SP tonight to get acquainted with controls and then play MP tomorrow.

Okay finished benching tonight, actually scored LESS with new RAM and 5.12 @ 1.62V.

I will do some more testing during the week, will look into my timings more.

Are you running it at 2600? Memory controller could be in pain. Did your physics score suffer?

yeah that's probably the case if he's running it at 2600. Vishera really isn't a fan of anything over 2133 from what I've heard.

Do memory speeds make that big of a difference for benching?

I found an h60 that I bought in May (from reddit), but it had a Broken pump. I requested an RMA and everything in late May that got accepted, but completely forgot I had the damn thing. Think that RMA is still good? I shipped it out this morning so hopefully I can get a fixed one

RMA requests and approvals are usually only good for 30 days.
