Lol Gappo. Its OK, i'm leaving to 1366 so you just have 1 guy to beat :P Thing is, i kept hitting no higher than 22.600s ish with XP stripped. I then used W7 as i always get better scores for some reason with SPI, PI Fast, wPrime and somehow hit the score i got. I did however was hitting .500s a lot. Out of the 100+ times i clicked go, i hit the 400s score just once. Just luck of the draw guess.

Keep them coming guys!

Nice time there ZodiarK.
One question though, how come your VCore is shown at only 0.968V when it is running at 3Ghz? Gotta be an error on the CPUZ part. No way a quad core can sustain with that little power.

ZodiarK
18-03-10, 09:54
it's no error quite easy to hit 3 from 2.8 at that voltage
it is the 930 not the 920 don't take much power until your over 4Ghz.
ill be happy to include voltmetre reading off the rampage II board if needed

though it was a simple minor deviation that spurted over 0.1 then he can simply do it again and prt scn when its not flashed 0.1 over.. might sound pedantic.. but in something such as this there needs to be a measure of control.

RawZ

Andrew Moore
18-03-10, 17:20
Gooonnnneeee :)

Potential issue? The 920 etc runs with a 20multi... This means it runs 20-20-20-20. Under turbo it runs 22-21-21-21 which means core1 hits 22 multi (3.Xghz) when you are made to believe it remains on 21 as this is what cpu-z reports. (this could be just some rubbish theory of mine but take a look).

As you can see, my result is massively quicker than most (although I am running stripped 7 with sweet FA running in the background).


Andy

ZodiarK
18-03-10, 18:12
is their some sort of program that shows turbo off? i am hoping their is such a thing
or prehaps to solve the issue everyone with turbo can have it on, this should negate that problem.

Andrew Moore
18-03-10, 21:40

Oh well.. exclude me if you feel the need.. if not, try to beat it :P

Double fail.

Andrew Moore
19-03-10, 21:43
From what I remember of the rules, a few MHz each side is fine. You can't control that much of a difference over a 15 multi or what ever it is. It either means 12-13mhz less or 1-3 more.

From what I've read 3001Mhz is the ceiling, those high multi's must cause a few headaches.:crash:

Am I really being disallowed because of 0.7MHz too fast?

Can't you drop the multi and raise your FSB?

Didnt you have turbo on for that run or am i mistaken.:confused:

Andrew Moore
20-03-10, 00:59
Nope, all cores and ht remain hence a 21 multi. The only way I could get. A multi of 22 to engage was with 1 core and ht off. Shame really lol as it would have explained alot.

That was ran on tiny 7 with everything I could think of disabled. Windows task bar even crashed. Was rather proud of breaking windows :D

Andy

ZodiarK

hence it can be done with no turbo :) your only just over 100ms faster than mine

I'm just throwing in scores to try and beat that's all. I'm nt entering as I have masses of high end kit here and taking a cooler that someone else could have won when I'd probably nt use it is a little selfish wouldn't you agree??

Scrap that, I'll aim for 3000mjz as I'm almost 3mhz over which is an unfair advantage. With a re-run I hope to get almost as close, shouldn't be too much of a problem right?? ;) :p

Q: Is 3001Mhz allowed? A: Yes.I think it is fair to say your allowed 0.7MHz over that as it's still 3001.7MHz

Maybe 3002MHz should be disallowed as it's well 3002 but mines still in the 3001 limit (kind of)

I need to talk to somebody official :P

oh I don't think it was actually set, it was just said that 3001 is allowed but I can't be bothered with doing something controversial again :( back to the drawing board....literally

I think you need a notepad open that says "LLC Aria" or sumit and you need to hover over the clock so that it shows the time and date and stuff ;)

meh your really good,i don't it's possible to beat this

If you read custompc, youll see the p6t deluxe v2 is the faster "out of the box" motherboard you can buy when looking over all of there tests. I think that explains it.. gigabyte and foxconn boards seem to be some of the slower... Not tht it effects how the board overclocks, just because its fastest out of box doesnt mean its fastest when overclocked.

Andrew Moore
22-03-10, 09:19
Thats where it makes a difference.. usually around 0.1s per 10s.. so in theory I should be around 0.13s faster on tiny 7 than on normal win7. maybe a little more.

You could really do with tightening up them timings even if you have to slow the memory down abit :)

wuyanxu
23-03-10, 15:44
my results are still not in the table?

also, which is better? lower timing at lower speed or faster frequency with loose timing? which bit of timing is most important? the first number?

also, which is better? lower timing at lower speed or faster frequency with loose timing? which bit of timing is most important? the first number?

I was told that it's better to have tighter timings and loose a bit of the speed.

I can run at 833MHz 4-5-5-12 1.8v or 900MHz 5-6-6-18 1.9v

Kinda a no brainer for me

Marv

I tried both ways Will, overclocked and/or tighter timings. I haven't exactly got uber equipment and my mobo doesn't seem to like me too much but overclocking the ram from ddr 800 to 936mhz gave the best performance.

Thanks for the suggestion though and I may have another go but not exactly expecting to win anything, just taking part. ;)

Toonshorty
29-03-10, 16:35
Well I've got it at 4GHz, would that do?

Iaink
29-03-10, 16:36
it has to be at 3.0Ghz, drop the multi and up the FSB is waht he means i think

Toonshorty
29-03-10, 16:37
Right, so I've gotta get a 500 FSB.

I'll go give it a go.

Iaink
29-03-10, 16:39
drop the multi as low as it'll go and up the FSB as high as you can get it to go while staying under 3.0ghz (i think your lowest multi is prob 6x so 500FSB is the highest) then to get the highest score posbile make usre all background operations are closed and make sure your ram is running as fast as it will go

Toonshorty
29-03-10, 17:09
I set my FSB to 500 and the PC wouldn't start.

Set my multi to 6x so no luck for me :(

1.4 cpu/nb vid But only because I have 4gb of ram in. That northbridge isn't high for phase at all but the chip can't take anymore so I save on the voltage. Ive got a c2 sempron that will run 3700+ with ease :thumb:

That ram divider I was using is the only one that allows over 888mhz which I couldn't do because of the 3ghz cap lol.
