P5K Premium - VCore 1.66v - 5.070Mhz - 9 secs SuperPI

[Pedro Rocha]

Since I'm doing a mini-review of the Asus P5K Premium Wi-fi, I decide to put it on my mini-cascade (-90ºC)

Here is photo.

Since is a review board, obviously I did not any VMod (Vcore or VDrop) so the maximum VCore on Windows is 1.66v due to the vdrop.

I dont have many expectations to go in to 9secs since my X6800 is not a "golden specimen"

Also I'm using a common Windows XP with no special superpi tweak - obviously with a full superpi tweaked win 2003 Server will be more easy.

Anyway after some memory optimization I get this:

Going into 9 secs with just 5.070Mhz in a common WinXP, I must say that I'm quite impressed with this motherboard - it has one of the Mhz/performance ratio that I ever saw :eek:

I may run my favorite game (3Dmark2001) later on this setup :D

Not too shabby at all, definitely one of the lower CPU clocks out there for sub-10s, cg's on breaking the barrier. :)

If you ever decide to get into it, you'll certainly find that proper SuperPi tweaking is just as intricate as doing so for 3DMark2001. ;)

4:5 indeed looks very very strong. Is 508x10 5:6 possible? Did you have the Voltage Damper option on?

[Pedro Rocha]

Thanks Gautam :)

Yes I did turn Voltage Damper option on..

Altought my favorite game is 3Dmark, I know that are a lot of fascinating tweaks for superpi (and the nice guys from team japan are the best on use superpi tweaks) of course other benchers (a very small minority fortunately) use doping and they are out of the Tour de France ;)

It's good to see someone from my country, to represented so Well. It's like our selection.

I'm a big fan of your work here.
Continue the good work
Abraço:)

Not bad Pedro. The damper works great on P5K Deluxe, but not on the P5K. Time for some 01 action :D

[youngpro]

very well done mate, this p5k board seems to be donig some nice pi figures,

what performance level were you running at during these runs?

I did not touch on it, it is on Auto..

[Zannema]

Well done pedro :up:

:ROTF: Great picture choice as always...I'm envious of you having the pleasure of meeting Fred-san in person, why not put some of his teachings into action. :D

Good mother board and good overclocking, Pedro Rocha-san! :up:

NewBeetle ;)

[DMH]

It's a bit bad that a board that price can only go to 1.66v after the vdroop:(
let's hope the damper and some vdroops can work it out

@brunormt:The first and only portuguese at the moment to ever have a mod place and I think also the one and only to have a place at XS staff;)

[Pedro Rocha]

Good mother board and good overclocking, Pedro Rocha-san! :up:

NewBeetle ;)

Arigato (obrigado) NewBeetle-san :D

This is nothing compared to your amazing results :)

Did you try the P5k Premium?

If I remember you didnt have much with P5k Dlx even afer moding the VCore/Vdrop - maybe the Premium is diferent since it have new components in PWM..

[ineedaname]

sweet nice clocks

[SIOUX]

very nice my friend:toast: good spi result for the clocks :)

Arigato (obrigado) for your good information, Pedro Rocha-san. :D
kyosen-san tested this board in Japan, and he said it seemed to be better than P5K-Dlx and P5K-E.

However, I am crazy about P5K now. :p:
Trying P5K Premium seems to become it a little more previously. ;)

DEWA DEWA ～

Very nice,-90 /5074Mhz greay work.Thanks.

[before]

Very nice clocks / time ratio ;) congrats :toast:

[OMEGA3]

Hi, Pedro Rocha-san

Nicely done!!

The great result of 3Dmark2001 is also expected.:up:

[LardArse]

very nice pedro!
A very fast system config to hit 9secs at that clockspeed for sure!

[fredyama]

SuperPI results from Pedro Rocha-san:eek: :up:
You have just earned the best Lowclock PI bencher of the year:clap: :clap: ;) :toast:


>Gautam-san,
Actually, he taught me how to run 3Dmark2001-- had no chance to chat about any PI tweaks, unfortunately:D

[principino1984]

hey pedro...can I ask you what kinda vdrop has the premium ed? when u set 1.7 is goes down till 1.66?

what about the other voltages, do they all work great or there's some kinda limit of voltage?

anyway..great score man!
Marco

[runmc]

Esta muy bien Pedro :up: yee haa :clap: I need a new board and chip :D

[Gamer]

Can't you do the pencilmod on this mobo ?
It gained me about 200mhz without doing a hardmod.

Nice, like all said, didn't know you did that benchmark :)

[continuum]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[ryba]

Some 1M result from one of poland teams - Kiełbasa squad ;)

http://strony.aster.pl/pmpcfg/PC/kielbasa_squad_2/1M_09.953.png

They made this score on P5K Premium :)

[sobih25]

ryba, that was on asus blitz formula. our p5k premium was coldbugged and no go near -95.

Same here but I'm in the States

Very nice Pedro Rocha my man and knowing that you had some on auto and not applying all your tweaks lets us know this board is a winner with good speed .:up:

[Oliver]

Congrats, the mhz/performance is just amazing.

Keep pushing it.

[darsh999]

tats some cool :cool: :banana::banana::banana::banana: u got out there ....... great overclocking :up:

[Eldonko]

Congrats Pedro, kick ass. :)

[jugeen]

good job! :clap:

[Turrican]

wow, great result :toast:
