View Full Version : Super Pi Showdown
Ok just a bit of fun, no prizes for the fasted rig but lets see what your rigs are made of ;).
Download Superpi mod 1.5 here http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/
CPUZ can be downloaded from here http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
Rules, you MUST use super pi mod and run the 1M test, you must include a screeny to prove your time complete with a cpuz shot of your cpu speed include another cpuz of your memory speed and timings too if you want too.
Only results from regular posters on Arias forum will be allowed to participate so if you want to join in.....join in :D.
Heres mine for you to use as a comparison and something to aim for, if we get enough people joining in i'll set up a table of some kind 8)

Lol speedstep came in there :P
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/4264/superpijc3.jpg
My ram would get lower timings if I could go to 2.2v
ok here's mine :redface: with the added bonus of cpu temps (now with added pic of mem speed/timings from latest version of cpu-z seeing as old version didn't see all the memory lol though still doesn't see all 4 gig)

here is mine, i dont have anything overclocked though

I am guessing cleggys is due to a high bus frequency, if so brb!
Cleggy you are using an older version of super pi, it only reads in seconds, get the more accurate version from the linky.
Peter it looks like your memory is underclocked by quite a bit, PC7200 is ddr900 iirc, you could run it at 800 (400mhz) just by selecting the appropriate setting in the bios.
Come on people there must be more of us to join in this bit of fun. :D
ah, cheers, i'll do so when i get back from work (45 mins :))
Superpi kept crashing, but finally here's my time:

Explain further please
Peter, look at you memory figures on CPUz it shows your memory speed as 333.4mhz, double this as its DDR gives a speed of 667. Now i KNOW pc6400 is rated for DDR800 and, according to your sig, you have some ocz pc7200, which i believe is rated for ddr900 speeds, or 450mhz. So i suggest you go into the bios and set the ratio up to give at least ddr800 (400mhz) make sure you also change the voltage to the rated 2.1v-2.2v too if it isn't already set, it can take it as the specs can be found here http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_7200_special_ops_edition
Sean nice going mate 8) , think i might have to go a tweaking ;)
PeterStoba
20-01-08, 17:26
Ah, will do soon, thanks for that, will it improve my score?
Also, will i get a lower time if i dont have other programs running?
Definately on the first question and i would think so on the second.
I'll try and do mine tomorrow if I have time and give you all a good laugh... ;) :D

I've just overclocked my CPU 5% automatically using the bios to 2.52GHz but it's not showing up in CPU-Z as i can't turn speedstep off but Super PI is slower
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8247/sc2ty1.jpg
Peter to disable speed step look for a C1E command in the bios and disable it. Assuming your asus board has a similar bios to mine.
I have an updated speed:

No idea what 'Cycle Time (tRAS)' is and I cant be bothered to find out, but on the first one you did it was 15 and on the second its 18.
That's the only thing I can see which is slower between the two configs.
I have an updated speed:
Doublepostage for me! See how I care.
I wonder why your slower than me. Whats your memory set at?
Unless theres some architectural difference between an E4500 and an E6750 which makes an E6750 innately better of which I am unaware.

Something to do with the timings i think? i set it from auto to 800mhz, thats the max, either that or 1066 i think
And Mark, i will turn off C1E in 5 and re try
E6750 has double cache, and also maybe ur memory is faster?

Ahhhhh Cache of course! I dunno what your memory is at though but mine is 853.4 Mhz.
Mine is at 840mhz, with timings of 4-3-3-3-11
even my x2 3800 is quicker than your c2d Lynx :question: which I find strange

I don't like you guys, after 3.5 hours of a 5% overclock my pc just suddently turn off like the power had been take out, thought i'd killed my pc, cooling my pc down now - back at stock with my huge window wide open and side panel off

:eek: What does Core Temp say your temps are at?
By the way look at super pi 1M not 2m biodoid, mines half the speed of yours.
PeterStoba
21-01-08, 21:03
:eek: What does Core Temp say your temps are at?
Now back at stock they are 38 38 37 39
I didn't increase the voltage and only have a freezer 7 pro, reckon thats why?
Lol,i cant get it to boot any higher than 3.4
Here you guys here's mine....
http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/tystar75/PIScore.jpg
Yay my E4500 wins the oc race! Mine needed far less voltage to get a higher speed though, what temps u get?
:P 64% OC'd and at 1.39v, stable and temps max out at 38degrees C on full load :P
Now back at stock they are 38 38 37 39
I didn't increase the voltage and only have a freezer 7 pro, reckon thats why?
Freezer 7 Pro is what I'm using and I get 46C under 100% load and 28C idle. I would say your temps are absolutely fine but your voltage is going to be the issue.
On a slight side issue, why does CPU-Z say my core voltage is 1.616v ?! It so isn't!!! Other times it will just decide to show VCore, which is my GPU right?
In my opinion CPU-Z tells porkies.

need to tweak a little and beat that e4300 :mrgreen::mrgreen:
My ramspeed is the same as my origional clock, as my ram and fsb are unlinked, so about 840mhz.

Can you confirm your cpu speed is 3000mhz? only cpuz and core temp read different speeds.
if at all possible chaps could you turn speed step / cool and quiet off to avoid confusion.

No idea, it doesn't say, where will i find this?
on mine it shows where i can change the fsb... probably different on yours.
i'll have a look on google see if i can see ur bios
I notice that the CPUZ and SuperPi windows are covering up the same areas both times...Something trying to hide :lol:
Well i'd probably get banned if the full image was shown :P
just did another super pi, adjusted my timings. Shaved 100ms off :). i think i'll keep doing that

Here we go. Would be better if the test made full use of 4 cores though else not much advantage over dual core is there. :|
When INTEL EIST is disabled of multiplier if x9 its 3001Mhz but the printscreen is showing with x6 multiplier.

Unless you're an environmentalist or like your bills being a few pennies lower, disable C1E and EIST! They're useless for performance systems.
from the desktop background i'd say he's not an environmentalist, ironically. the whole point of superPi is it runs on one thread on one core. I did a test on setting the affinity of the cores t'other day and it ended up that one of my cores could do it faster than the other.

Same here, the slower core runs hotter too :S
monkey56657
26-01-08, 19:31
I usually do have it disabled but I guess I didnt turn it off since the last time bios settings reset cus of failed overclock :P
I use it because of the temp lowering, I do not like my core running hot, so the power savings put my mind at ease.
monkey56657
26-01-08, 19:54
But with that idea in mind. When the CPU is likely to get hot (continuous usage) it will be set to the max multiplier anyway so it wouldnt have any affect on cooling it then. :|
When its not running 100% its idle'in and keeping cool regardless of the multiplier.
It does run cooler by dropping voltage, multiplier etc... Try it, Because mine runs much cooler when the powersavings come into play.
monkey56657
27-01-08, 00:57
If the voltage is dropped then yes it can run cooler but only by having the multiplier permanently low can it run cooler surely ? Because with EIST the multiplier will go higher when in use anyway..
When the multiplier drops so does the frequency, take a 3ghz pentium 4, underclock it to 2.8 ghz and the temps will drop, its the same principle, same as a quad core at 3ghz is hotter than a 2.4 ghz one with the same voltage!
Goes to overclock somemore, to beat alexnifty...
ohh wait im in work....
so it shall have to wait till later.....
Fancy giving mine some more juice later on cleggy???
I wanna hit the 3.6ghz and have a time under 14s :D
Please don't, my PC doesn't want me to hurt it any more :twisted:
But I see your going to make me...
Here's my laptop:

Lol, it'll be a challenge! Although my cheapie gigabyte board isnt going to like it
Ive managed to hit 15.182 seconds at 3.5 Ghz....
So dam close.......
I guess its time to start messing with voltages, but thats a job for another day

Beg your pardon Sean, reread the post and i see it was the sub 13 that you didn't want to include due to instability.

i know this will have to go in the "unverified" pile but i was running 3.6ghz @ 400x9 on 1.625v as my sig shows but i cant keep it cool enough to do much more as air dont cut it on that volts.

cheers mac, it was a pita on this mobo tbh but i knew it could do it. the ddr 1000 (ocz plat @ 5-5-5-18 2t) i got from here was what knocked the last .4 off it. i recon if you put your 4300 in that p5b dlux you would get 3.6 out of it too.

The heatsink is nothing more a glorified stock cooler and IO'll be back soon with H2O!

I'm also trialling the new Coollaboratory Liquid Metal Pad - http://www.coollaboratory.com/en/product_metalpad.shtml
It effectively solders the CPU to the heatsink - should be excellent with water cooling - it's ten times as conductive as AS5!!!
PeterStoba
03-02-08, 14:50
What happens if you wanna swap heatsinks?
lol, a lot of grinding and scraping away, unless you're into that crazy shiz burning off your fingerprints. I think that if you wanted to purposely eliminate your prints and also remove a heatsink this would be killing two birds with one stone. However if you just want to remove your prints (perhaps your commiting some sort of crime) use pineapple juice. A plus side to this being that you get to walk around with pineapple rings on your fingers for days....mmm tasty.
Anyways, yeah that stuff looks really useful for overclockers using liquid nitrogen ;)
New one for my Q6600, under 14s, think thats about the limit for this cpu / mobo combination. With semi sensible voltages anyway.

No i think the server was dieing or being flooded at the time. Not my super speedy internet :mrgreen: Anyway it was too excessively slow to be my net I browsed an entire other forum while waiting for it.
What happens if you wanna swap heatsinks?
You just take the heatsink off - the base is copper and rougher than the CPU - so it all sticks to the base of the cooler.
Any residue on the CPU can be picked off (imagine picking off a metal scab - Mmmmm satisfying)
It's pretty damned good actually - not sure AS5 cures fast enough for me to benefit from it immediately - but these pads are something else! Burn in/curing time of about 5 minutes (with no CPU fan spinning duting that time :exclaim) and then the temperatures are superb.
My overclock was done with the CPU fan thermal throttling at 60 degrees - so my PC was damned quiet too!!!
I reckong I can get further - will try tonight... not sure I want to go above 1.6V though - not yet...

I'm doubtful it will do 500FSB with the quad core and 4Gb of RAM, maybe with 2Gb and a Core Duo, but I'll give it a go...
no i was thinking, yea i know, its dangerous and yes it did hurt, if you dropped it to a x8 multi you would still be hitting the same speeds but you could run your ram on a 1:1
and then tighten the timings.
chances are your right and its a long shot but if you havent tried it i would.
it should push you closer to the sub 12s if you can do it.

I try it but cant get it stable. Just long enough for pi test but that is it.
I have tried voltages exceeding the 1.536 shown on most of the screens (by 0.025) and still no luck there.
Any tips to get my overclock stable @ 3.6?

I got a 3.42Ghz woo but nothing at 3.6Ghz. Memory timings are 5-5-5-15 now on this one though. The voltage reported by CPU-Z is wrong.

Ok, I am running an MSI P35-Neo2-Fr Set the Bios to 449 as the jump to 450 slackens all the timings and the bios sets all the voltages to max. set voltage to 1.45.
I have the same ram as you, but I am only running 1 set for 2Gb. Ram Voltage set to 2.2V timings set to 5.5.5.15 as its running at near 900Mhz
My cooler is a ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme with an Aero Cool Turbine 2000 fan running at 1000 RPM

forgot to mention that multi set to 8
forgot to mention that multi set to 8
You mean 9? The multiplier on a Q6600 is locked to that.
Literally for me I just put the voltages up to 1.45 in BIOS and since my Foxconn MARS is known to undervolt it works out about 1.4-1.41 volts going to to the chip.
Then put the FSB up to 400.
Ok updated, didn't include the so and so who said we were all rubbish us due to his attitude and the fact he isn't a regular so as far as i am concerned he can JOG ON!!
As for getting to 3.6, have you upped the northbridge and southbridge volts etc? If the have only upped the memory and core voltage, unless you are lucky as Sean appears to have been if all he did was up the cpu core, then this may help.

Nope running 449x8 turned off eist and lowered the multi to 8.
Another lesser, but desirable, overclock is drop the multi from 9 to 8 and run FSB at 400 this gives a 3.2Ghz speed with memory running 1:1 @ 800.

Mine allows changing from 6 -> 9 with no dodgyness....
I will try set the multiplier to 8 and go from there...Ive tried everything else with voltages. Have several sheets of combinations written down lol.
Are yours actually running at 3.6 for normal usage? So far mine will last max of 1-2 minutes before something goes wrong.
Yep 3.6 is my normal speed i only pushed it to 3.8 for benching.

My time at 3.6...But probably shouldnt be added since its not stable :cry:

I have almost 1.5V to keep it stable at 3.4Ghz.
Thats the highest i can get it stable at.

Oh well all i can say it must be the difference between your P6N and my P35-Neo2-Fr.
May be its the heat pipe cooler on the chipset of the Neo2?
I would have thought your PSU was more than a match for my Hiper Type R 580W.
BTW I am only using 4 pin P4 12v, maybe my old 6800gt draws less current?
Have you tried it with just 2 sticks of ram, just for a test?

For superpi, the Q6600 is no better than your E6600. Think of the Q6600s as two E6600s bolted together - perhaps with masking tape.
If you reach the same frequency as me, with the same memory - we'll get the same results.
And i dont think theres any way he will reach that frequency :P

I managed to get over 500FSB, but rather mysteriously I lost 2 cores from my CPU ! A Q6600 with 2 Cores, all works fine except for only being half there, and I still cant beat the score due to my CPU running quite a lot lower.. )O:

Ok updated, didn't include the so and so who said we were all rubbish us due to his attitude and the fact he isn't a regular so as far as i am concerned he can JOG ON!!
Is that;
A) a contravention of your OWN rules;
"Rules, you MUST use super pi mod and run the 1M test, you must include a screeny to prove your time complete with a cpuz shot of your cpu speed include another cpuz of your memory speed and timings too if you want too."
See? Nothing about being a regular and nothing about a comedy p155 take title...
B) a cr@ppy way to welcome newcomers???
Come on - just because it's so good it makes us all look poor by comparison that's no reason not to include it... Besides - there was just a :P missing off the title - in fact, I'll try and add it now...

Was it a "Comedy p!ss take" title? I didn't think so in fact i thought it arrogant and egotistical hence my stance on the matter. If it was supposed to be "funny" then maybe it should have be a bit more obvious. Plus then he disappears for a week whilst i was waiting to see if he was to become a regular poster but he didn't, ergo NOT a regular poster so i deemed his time null and void. I see now he has returned and if he continues to post then i'll add his time.
Personally i really couldn't care less who has the fastest time.

not exactly throwing down the gaultlet with that but its a shot, got it to 15s but not stable at all.
Stock volts and stuff at the mo so when i get chance gotta start messin about with that.
its a start though.
Yeh with some added voltage, you could push down the times. I have a poor score even when i overclock to 3.4 ghz, i assume its the low fsb speed.

Could we have a GM8 topper here?
potentially if I overclocked, although i'd like to burn it in first though please, let the arctic silver settle in, and then i'll r4pe it lol
I thought it was purely myth all this burn in business?
I don't really want to take my chances
Arctic Silver do say that AS5 needs to be temperature cycled a few times before it's up to full strength - although that means leaving your PC off for at least an hour - can't see Cleggy doing that ;)

luckily I have just recieved a thermalright 120 ultra :mrgreen: , my fan did not arrive tho .

GM8, what is your RAM running at? the timings make a huge difference.
Also, here is my task manager
http://www.pageserve.co.uk/pc_images/task.jpg
taking into account that i dont use the top two processes when doing a super pi, I have the absolute minimum services etc running. Even running task manager and logical disk manager shaves off about 10ms. Plus i'm running on a fresh install of XP, with nothing but games and drivers installed. Try disabling some of your services to skim off those extra ms. heres the list of what i have running

yep,
the board will do 475 with a 6 multi, I think that under air I have found the maximum my chip will do.
its winter! open your window, and your front door and get some nice cold night air running through your house. Then overclock as usual, i dropped my temps 5 doing this when the CPU was under a stress test :)
But darnit i was cold lol

mac, any chance of squeezing any more out of your RAM?
Also try setting the affinity on each individual core in windows, i have one core faster than the other :)
Think its either vista or my old P5B deluxe and its 965 chipset, i haven't tried messing with setting affinity, might give it a go at some point, also i am running 4 sticks of memory so that might not help either. I could pop 2 out i guess.
yup, should give you some more speed

took a lot of major tweaking, system at that speed is NOT prime stable though.
temps run away from mine at 3.6ghz and it was only due to the cold night air i could get it to stay running with that much volts as the freezer pro didnt like it much above 1.45v
not pushed it yet with the ifx but going off my temps 24/7 running 3.2 i can tell it will help :D

Yea thats right a whole -1.6ghz overclock! :lol:
I really hate people who add their scores together! well done i have a 6.6ghz overclock!
Think you got the wrong end of the stick, he's running at 800mhz so he's UNDERCLOCKED by 1.6ghz as X2 4600's are 2.4ghz @ stock.
I thought we was adding 800 to 800 from his underclock to get a score.
