SuperPi 1.5XS 1M challange - Easter Deadline

[Charles Wirth]

Want a chance at a free Foxconn Motherboard?

Maximum clock speed 4.509Ghz, I am allowing a small margin of error on Mhz.
Target Pi time of 10 seconds.

If you can break 10 seconds then post it up with specs, otherwise post your slow score and complain.

The pi run screen shot must accompany a current CPUID 1.44x in the same image.

Lowest score wins.

Contest ends Easter Sunday 9PM Pacific Standard Time.

Braking 10 secs is easy if you know the trick ;) Like here (http://images.people.overclockers.ru/148772.png) for example :)

[Chicco85]

That's a lucky contest because I already have the shot... :)

Intel E8500 Q743A797 (500x9)
DFI Infinity 965-s
Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC667 C3

The pi run screen shot must accompany a current CPUID 1.44x in the same image. Heh. No so fast ... :D

Not that it matters, but kinda curious about which model of Foxconn?

[Chicco85]

Damn, I missed that... sorry... :rolleyes:

Well, i just tried "this funny game" with P5K3 Deluxe and QX ...

P5K3 Deluxe (NB 1.55v)
QX9770 1.41v (actual) WC with Nexxos XP/Laing DDC/BIX2/Globefan
OCZ PC3-12800 2v (bios)
Hitachi 250Gb SATA

[AriciU]

10.266 without "the trick" :) Didn't bother to take SS for obvious reasons.

[Kasparz]

Okey, here's my first entry. Spent few hours trying to find best timings/subs with old bios, because old bios is totally different by handling timings. This is close to maxed out, but without copywaza yet.

ASUS P5E3 Deluxe BIOS0402 1.91Vmch at BIOS
Intel E8400 Q748A263 1.53Vcore at BIOS
CSX 1GBx2 D9JNL 2.36Vdimm at BIOS

[Gautam]

Sweet contest. :cool:


otherwise post your slow score and complain.
:lol:

[andre X_X]

ah, very nice :D... love it :D

[koda]

Gautam (:wave:) "in the place" ... then contest will be very hard ;)

Edit : Andre_X_X (:wave:) too ... very very hard then :D

[Sparky]

Not going to happen on an opteron 165 @ 2.8GHz that's for sure

[Gautam]

Don't worry about me, I'm too busy with school for this...besides, I don't need to be getting greedy with those wonderful boards. :p:

*Eyeballs bench desk. Eyeballs messy garage*
Put off for tomorrow what you can do today, right? Time to fire up the 1st stage of the cascade and roll the dice on my attempt :up:

[Kasparz]

For what you need Dry Ice for just 4.5GHz?

[BenchZowner]

Hmmm... P5K3 Deluxe... QX9650 @ 450MHz x 10... BIOS trick... and CellShock's DDR3-1800 6-5-5-16 1T :D hmmm :D

[[XC] gomeler]

For what you need Dry Ice for just 4.5GHz?

Can be done on air with ~1.45vcore with a 45nm chip. Needs ~1.6v with a 65nm chip and atleast a single-stage.

[kiwi]

you will never get sub 10s with 65nm @ 4.5ghz :p:

[[XC] gomeler]

you will never get sub 10s with 65nm @ 4.5ghz :p:

Was just answering the cooling/frequency question. sub-10s with 65nm at 4.5GHz is impossible though unless someone has a frankenstein chip with 6mb of L2 cache :cool:

[Kasparz]

Extreme cooling isn't necessary for this challenge unless you want to go nuts for 2Ghz+ 6-5-5 that requires subzero cooling on memory and most likely northbridge too. My office E8200 can do 4.65Ghz superpi1m with average air on X38.

[cajer]

Time to see if I can get my new X3350 installed in time for this.

[paulzig]

So whats the BIOS trick then?? :D

[[XC] gomeler]

*complains* 10.296s with just ram tweaks via BIOS. Was running 819MHz 3-2-2-1, trfc 16, PL 7, and all the other sub-timings as low as possible. Will try 10x450 tomorrow, maybe I can pull 900 3-2-2-6 out of my poor sticks.

[dduckquack]

you will never get sub 10s with 65nm @ 4.5ghz :p:

time for me to stop dreaming then :shrug: was thinking 480x9 @ 4:5 divider. although im used to running 32M and have no idea what bearing the memory frequency has in 1M runs. care to enlighten me?



im complaining i guess... :yepp:

[eva2000]

here's an entry done on Windows 2008 SP1 bit slower than WinXP but it's currently the OS i'm playing with

http://fileshosts.com/intel/Asus/Blitzformula/results/win2008_64/dtek/E3110/crucial/ballistix/8500/4gb_78109/8.5x/533/530-530_4449_542744_1.5125-1.4-1.73-2.4-1.225-1.5_sroff_tbl1_x63x61/spi1m_10s280ms.png

[Movieman]

10 seconds..LOL..Fastest thing I have in the house is a Q6600 that will bench at 4005 but 12.5s is the best it will do..:p:

[Kasparz]

With old BIOS my P5K3 Dlx neither P5E3 Dlx does not like FSB over ~550 :/ And Intel X38 board is crap too.
But i have backup, picked E8400.

[kiwi]

Is it possible to extend the contest 1 day? :p: Monday is still a holiday in many places

[koda]

:rofl: ;)

[ME4ME]

Koda, that score of you is very good.

I have spent some hours now benching pi.. but i don't come under 10.015s

..wondering if it is the DDR3 that gives a performance boost..

[Kasparz]

10 hours left if I'm right.

[Johnny Bravo]

Quick and dirty run on my DFI DK X38 - no memory tweaking or any special BIOS tweaks here :D

[BenchZowner]

Where's that bloody Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 when you need it :@
Well...it's dead isn't it :p:

9.968 @ 450.8x10 QX9650 and CellShocks at DDR3-1800 6-5-5-16 1T, no OS tweaks, copy waza ( worthless in 1M ), maxmem, etc.

[DJSUB]

here's mine :D

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/8889/xs1mchallengedjsubvn4.png

[BlueAqua]

This is about the best I could come up with. Seems like sub 10sec was a mile away. I think the DDR3 boards will rule the roost on this one.

Asus Commando.

[Gautam]

DDR2 vs DDR3 is practically negligible here. ;)

[dduckquack]

lowest score means lowest time or lowest clock?

[Criswell]

Bah, anyone that gets Sub-10s doesn't need this mobo >_<

[DJSUB]

it's very hard for me to break 10s @ 4509mhz
that's the best i could post this time without bios trick.i just optimized my dirty drive :D

[dinos22]

hmmm damn it ppl
i wasn't planning on playing with 'puters today heh

9.953 is very hard to beat though

looks like deadline is over anyways heh

[Charles Wirth]

Kasparz, pm me your address and grats on the new mobo.

[Kasparz]

Thousand Thanks Charles for this great challenge :up:
Will PM in a minute.

[koda]

Nice run ... Kasparz ... congrats ;)

[BlueAqua]

Congrats Kasparz. If you don't mind, what's the secret or what did you do to achieve that?

[Kasparz]

Pre 45nm BIOS gives serious performance boost thats equal for about 100MHz.
Here is nice thread about this pre 45nm BIOS performance gain in 1M.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=168567&page=4&highlight=45nm+bios+performance

[[XC] gomeler]

Wow, did not know about this. So it looks like 1M gets a huge jump while 32M suffers a little bit. Thanks for revealing that, wouldn't have known otherwise. Don't think I have any boards here that'll have pre-45nm bios though.

[Deathscyth]

I come too late ... it's an old run, I was looking for a flat 10s :D

[ME4ME]

Kazpers, wich OS did you use?
XP or Server 2003?
..and what servicepack?:)

Great score man!:up:

[Kasparz]

XP+SP2, idle memory usage ~56MB.

[G H Z]

Congrats kasparz! :toast:

[dinos22]

congrats dude

charles next time give ppl more time :p: cause tweakin SuperPi is a really good comp and would have given some heated competition

only thing these young guys don't understand is that you have to dangle the carrot in front of the competition a little....never post your best score right away....kills the buildup :p:

[Oliver]

Congrats with it...

Hehe dino...

As Dinos says could rocks to have another later or sooner...

In a couple of categories with same rules...

[N3RO]

Oh f**k... Why I didn't see this thread before? !!!!!!!!!

[Charles Wirth]

This is XS, you need to be able to throw down at any given notice.

[road-runner]

By the time I saw the thread it was an hour past the deadline... :(

[BenchZowner]

This is XS, you need to be able to throw down at any given notice.

As long as you've got your hardware with ya :p:

That 9.968s run of mine was done with the QX9650 and a C2D E6600 stock heatsink and 1.55V+ core :rofl:

Nice score Kasparz, and congrats ( oh and enjoy the foxconn lady...erm motherboard :D )

[dinos22]

This is XS, you need to be able to throw down at any given notice.

lol is that why only 2 guys submitted results :p:

[xlink]

damnit didn't see this
NOO

EDIT: misinterpreted lowest score wins... when i think low score I think bad performance. was thinking about going for a 72 hour sp1m...


regardless, congrats to Kasparz.

[KTE]

LOL, just saw it now :lol2:

Congrats Kasparz ;)

[mrcape]

shucks, missed this one. gotta remember this subforum.

Cool contest idea.

[nOcLuE98]

Good contest. man I could have competed if my water cooling would hurry up and get here.... Then I wouldnt have to worry about killing my poor little e8400. haha, at 4.6ghz it was up at really high temps. and at 4.4 I got 10.5... I think with some ram tweaking I could have beaten it. well it is nice and cold outside, so it is time to fire her up, and get sub 10s even if I dont get a mobo for it..

what exact mobo was it anyway?

[Charles Wirth]

So you guys can see the goods, I also included 2Gb kit of OCZ DDR2

Enjoy

[Maarten-NForce]

Wow, nice... and friendly ;)
Congrats Kasparz

[Sam__]

why do the best people alway win these things..... they should give the prize for the most mediocre result to give us norms a chance. :D

n1 Kasparz

[Monstru]

To bad some of us only see this thread now, maybe it should have been an announcement or something, things like this are really nice and they should be a real battle :)

Anyway, congrats to the winner and congrats to the organizers for making nice contests that give something back to the enthusiasts :yes:

[TheKarmakazi]

+1 on the idea of publicizing the contests a bit better? I didnt see this until it was too late... my 8500 mightve done some damage :)

Not to mention my poor arse couldve used some new toys to play with :p:
