Well a few of us over at OCUK have been running the Pifast bench recently so I set up a quick website to submit scores.

If anyone wants to download the bench to try it is available here: http://img.hexus.net/hexus_pifast.rar (batch file for settings included)

The site is here: http://www.thechimpcage.com/pifast/

If you want to see out thread it is here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?threadid=206939

Hope some of you give it a try, Pedro Rocha is top right now with a 3.57gig P4 on an IT7-Max2 with mem @ 227mhz/

mate are you limited by your rimms at 177X3 ?
Cause if thats so then i can laugh at you since mine
do 216X3 but my cpu craps out at 154Fsb (at 1.6V)
So whos laughin in the end :rolleyes:

KAIN
10-10-2002, 07:34 AM
Nope they go furter, I'm CPU limited about 180mhz FSB. 177 is my normal stable speed.

My RIMMS can do 145 4x, so 193 3x.

K i see. My RIMMS can do up to 160X4 with the volt mod but the cpu is a piece of sh*t and will not do even that much :stick: . But its a very nice mobo and it used to belong to Orifice. He has done an exceptional job on the mods especially the drcgs :)

Nope not the same sys :).

I get 43 seconds on the 1M super pi test :). Youre probably looking at about 73 seconds for pifast with the above super pi score. Maybe 67 or so @ 2100mhz :p.

Hehe I know ;).

You equalled my prev score so I thought Id re-run it without downloading at the same time :p.

Go on m8 - go for more :).

besides - im dying to try it without mbm, winamp, soundcard mixer, printer utility, scanner utility and USB monitors running :p. May even disable the via usb chip for you - got 7 devices running off it atm. Reckon I could maybe crack 60.2, but I doubt below 60 is possible without upping the FSb by around 2 or 3mhz.

Race you to below 60 seconds :D.

PiLsY
10-10-2002, 02:42 PM
Done :).

3622mhz, USB disabled, IDE channels disabled, FDD disabled, all taskbar programs disabled via msconfig and taskbar itself disabled, plus a few other tweaks (cant give ALL my secrets away can I?). Basically ran in my 3dmark config but managed 1mhz more fsb than I can 3dmark at :).

Pedro Rocha
10-10-2002, 05:29 PM
Congratulations PiLsY you Win the Pifast Benchmark !! ;)

Even with USB disabled the maximum my Corsair go is 228 but only at Cas 2.5.

With this speed the better I can do is 60:52

In fact Cosair only warrant this memory for 200mhz (400DDR) at Cas 2.5 ..so not bad the extra 28mhz (456DDR).

What memory sticks are you using??


:toast:

PiLsY
10-11-2002, 01:20 AM
Winbond BH-5 chips on a 3rd party Apacer PCB. Its not even a 6-layer CPB :). So much for Corsair huh?

Mines only guaranteed to 2.5/6/3/3 @ 200mhz (true DDR400), but can actually go all the way to 240mhz on a decent board.

Im looking for a stick to match it now in preparation for the dual ddr boards.

MrIcee, nice one breaking my AMD score to go fastest AMD so far :) I was hoping for <70s but it wasn't happening on that motherboard (no fsb choices other than 133 and 166 worked) so I had to restort to ram timing tweaks.

Well done PiLsY for < 60s. Nice to see the Xtreme guys playing too :)

Working on a sub 59 now. Got it a bit lower so far, not gonna bother sticking the result up until im under 59s though :).

Cmon pedro - dont tell me youve given up already? :D.

You as well Opp - no excuse, it only takes 60 seconds (or less :p) and I know damn well you can beat me :D.

Nice result with that nforce2 board rys - shame about the FSB options though. Which particular board was that on? Asus by any chance?

Rys and N8:)

Thanks guys...I believe only better is yet to come from the AMD guys:D

Randi:D

EDIT: You AMD guys running WinXP are handicapping yourselves, XP has a tendency on an AMD system to suck the bandwidth down severly. Witness Car and Lobby in 3DMark2001, in which an identical system and settings running XP, 98 and 2000 put Win 2000/SP2 ahead of the other 2 in FPS. Just an observation on my part but the switch made a tremendous difference for me in bandwidth.

Yeah, A7N8X. I had 180fsb working for a morning the day after I got the board, 2333MHz and 180MHz mem @ CL2.0, 2-2-2 would have flown.

Ah well, I'll pester AMD for another system to play with for a wee while, hopefully they'll oblige :)

Should be someone else under 60s soon I think too ;)

EDIT: MrIcee, thanks for the tip about Win2K :) I'll be sure to install it if AMD let me have another CPU or box for a while! Fingers crossed :D

KAIN,

Hehe :)

I've actually never run that bench before. I'm smack in the middle of working out any bugs in my new H2O setup, as well as unlocking a new 1600+ that I purchased and was able to hit 2100MHz w/ on air(not stable). I've got my original 1600+ clocking higher than it ever has now w/ the water, so I'm very confident in the clocks I'll be able to hit w/ this new chip once its unlocked. When I'm finished w/ all this stuff I've been doing in the past couple weeks PC-wise(been hectic) I definitely need to do some benching as I haven't run 3DMark since the 29.17 Detonators, and I've got better cooling on both my CPU & GPU now :)

P.S. Also been folding 24/7 for our team as it appears we are in a fierce 3-way battle to the top :D
So, I've sorta been doing my part...slacking nonetheless tho ;)

Mulling over the ##'s it looks like it will take an amd @ 200fsb about 2.75 ghz of speed to over run a p4 running pilsy's 3.6 p4 and memory. sysfailur is the closest.. erm was :) (2.6+)

KAIN
10-16-2002, 11:55 AM
Well zteve is now #1 AMD system :D

I edited your score zteve to put that time in :)

I'd agree around 2.7-2.8gig is gonna beat the 3.6gig P4's

zakelwe
10-16-2002, 01:37 PM
Well , I top the table. If you are Australian and looking at it upside down of course. :)

I just did my home machine and got my XP1600@1660MHz to 96.00 seconds.

My friend at work has a 2.53GHz P4 running in a Dell ( presumably a 845 motherboard ) and he took 141 seconds. This seems awfully slow ...

Interestingly, he thinks it's pretty fast, as I told him the score of the PIII at 650Mhz. :eek:

Heh, well here's my next two best... Funny thing, out of no where my multiplier changed to 7.... so I was like... ehh, wtf? And I tried changing it and it worked!!!! So apparently my cpu is unlocked now! hahah Anyway, the first pic is before unlock, and the 2nd one is after. Notice that I'm like 35mhz slower, but my fsb is juiced up, and the scores are about the same. This tells you that the overall score is more strictly mhz it seems....

EDIT: KAIN, please delete my other score and slap the one I just submitted up instead ;)

Oh boy..... watch out, my awesome power supply is here. Time for 2.6+ ghz!

sysfailur
10-17-2002, 04:19 PM
Omg, I'm getting so frustrated. My temps are perfectly fine @ 2.5ghz--I'm doing 216x11.5 (approximately) and It goes to "Series computing time: 52.04" is what I've been getting, and then the damn thing doesn't go any further but continues to "think" but it never finishes. Have I broke the program or something? I mean I can cancel it, and then try it again and it goes to the same spot and stops! ARGH! I would have an amazingly fast score!

I just did some theoretical calculating, and it would seem that if i was getting 52.04, I would get an overall time of 65.34 approximately. >_< If you want I can screencap it no problem, but it just won't go past the "Series computing time".

Jeff
10-17-2002, 04:24 PM
Is your computer stable?

I've had that happen when I was pushing a bit too far. Just scale back 1MHz and see what happens.

KAIN
10-17-2002, 04:26 PM
I found that happen either on too extreme timings or slightly too high overclock.

sysfailur
10-17-2002, 07:41 PM
I don't understand why it would hang though in the same spot, I mean I'd really like to get it to go at that speed. Going back defeats the purpose heh. I can run all sorts of stuff at this speed, but this benchmark refuses to go past that spot for some reason. :\

MrIcee
10-17-2002, 10:00 PM
Because your system is not stable enough to complete the bench at that speed. Period. I found the same thing, my friend, with my own system, you have to back off a Mhz at a time until it completes the bench:)

Randi:D

Well then this benchmark must have a magical ability to utilize the cpu more than super_pi and seti@home combined together. I'm tellin ya, my comp. is stable at that speed. My temps are fine, but it won't complete it. When my comp isn't stable it will get to like maybe 4 or 5 and then say "pi error". That happens all the way up from 2525 up to 2600. I think the cpu needs some more juice is what I think :P

Jeff
10-18-2002, 11:21 AM
Try running a little Prime95 on your system. I've noticed that I can get SuperPi to run even when my computer isn't 100%. I think SuperPi is a good test, then this PiFast is the next step, and then Prime95 is kinda like the torture test for your processor and memory. ;)

What kind of times are you getting when you scale back 1MHz? It's got to be better than the current AMD high, right?

Well I did lots of benching today... and b/c I got so pissed at my 2400+/8k5a3+.... (it decided not to give me multipliers again today) I decided to teach my mobo a lesson and in windows I upped my FSB to 337mhz, and in the process fried the 85ka3+. I am not saddened at all by this loss. The motherboard was asking for it. I then decided since it was fried to try the 2400+ on my KD7 motherboard. The proc, ram, and everything else attached to the 8k5a3+ is fine, _AND_ the multipliers ALL work on the KD7. So apparently the 8k5a3+ doesn't support jack sh*t--at least w/ or w/o the 5th L3 connected.

So after I tested all that I then decided to play w/ my p4... I pin modded it, got it up to 3060, and put my 4200 on the p4, and achieved the 14th best 4200 score. *Twirls flag* (Will post more on this in the 3dmark forum later).

So anyway, out of this I have learned that the 2400+ and 8k5a3+ is not a good combo. I'm going to pick up a AT7-MAX2 instead and use that.

10-18-2002, 02:00 PM
FYI -

The pifast benchmark stresses MUCH more than seti and super pi. You need ot be able to complete at least a 32m pi test to match the pifast bench for stability. It also pushes temps much lower than super pi. The only thing that hits the temps even more than pifast is seti at the very start of a work unit. However, the pifast test seems to hit the cpu harder despite this.

Remember as well that seti will run all the same even if your results are getting corrupted. Its only in extremely unstable circumstances that seti will cause a crash.

A few other good stability tests -

My first choice is always memtest. This proggy is awesome. Leave test 4 looping to hammer your cpu or test 5 to hammer your memory. If you can loop either for 3 hours or more youre totally stable.

Folding - Better for burning in than stability testing due ot the time involved.

Games - total annihalation to hammer the cpu. This proggy is very succeptible to crashes if your cpu is clocked too hard. Jedi Knight - Outcast - again hammers the cpu very hard.

DVD ripping - hammers the memory more than cpu, but works both hard. A very good cimbination for burning in is to loop test 4 on memtest for 3 hours, test 5 for 3 hours, rip a dvd then complete a folding unit. After that you should gain a fair amount. First run of the above youll get 1 maybe 2mhz. After that the time at which your mhz increases decreases. It may take several loops of the whole process above to gain a single mhz after a while. Generally speaking your first week gains you 5mhz, second week 3mhz, 3rd week 1mhz then every 2 weeks to a month or so thereafter for a single mhz. Dont forget that cpus are tending to show less and less increase in speed form burning in nowadays.

PiLsY.

Interesting thread. I had not heard of Pifast until I read about it in the Prometia article. I'm going to start using it for stability testing.

zakelwe
10-20-2002, 11:40 AM
On the issue of stability and what to test for then I always run CPUMark99

Why cpumark99 ? Well, if it doesn't run this then it aint going to run any other benchmark successfully. It only takes 30 seconds to run and immediately gives you an indication if your BIOS / jumpers are not quite right.

Someone emailed me the other day that cpumark99 was outdated, but it can't be because it scales exactly like the cpu PCMark scores do, so if you get a 10% increase on cpumark99 then you do on PCMark !

And it takes a lot less time to run.

Yikes, nice one JC :) Looks like < 55s is the next big target for the big boys. < 70s is still a decent target for everyone else, < 65s if you have a bit more muscle than the average overclocker and < 60s if you and your P4 are feeling particularly frisky.

Glad to see people enjoying the bench I helped cook up one boring afternoon :)

Looks like I gonna have to have another go when I get me granite bay and new P4.....

Actually, I am just waiting for the processor to cool down as I am attempting a run at 1826 but it keeps crashing near the end as it is fairly stretched.

I just managed my first ever SuperPi under 1 minute as well tonight, 58 seconds.

I wonder if the large FSB of the P4 aids it so much or whether it is mainly the 512KB cache, or maybe both?

If it's the cache then Barton should help AMD , in the meantime it will be interesting to see if the nforce 2 in a couple of weeks with it's 10% better memory controller knocks a bit off.

Then of course will Hyperthreading help the P4 ?

It is mainly the pure speed that helps the P4 in the Pifast bench. Very CPU aimed benchmark.

Hay this is a fun test :D

Just ran it for the very first time with a 2.8Gigger clocked to 3730MHz (w/ P4T533-C mobo) and got a result of 56.78 :)
Looks like RDRAM is a bit faster than DDR on this particular test.
Also ran SuperPi at 3740MHz and got a result of 40seconds.
PiFast ver. 3.3 1M was 25.03 at 3740MHz.

Will upload some pics once I finish this benching session... ;)

Kain - no it didnt m8 :(.

Out of interest which version do you have? What colour are the cap near the cpu and what colour is the PCB? Ive seen 3 different versions now and heard about a 4th?!

Apparently theres one with black caps round the cpu, one with silver, both on a yellow abit pcb. Then you have one with purple caps round the cpu and one with red-brown caps round the cpu on a black pcb (only heard of and not seen this one).

No idea if it makes any difference, but im happy with mine so far (yellow pcb, black caps).

So what happened the first time around? Was the memory not working correctly like you suspected?

At any rate... I don't think people will be saying nForce2 sucks for much longer if these are the kind of results people start getting.

Extremely nice score!!! :toast:

Well, from the first bench to the 2nd, I installed new windows updates (including an AMD cpu windows driver patch). So I geuss that helped some. The memory is working correctly in dual channel though.

Pld m8 :).

Guess what - given up on intel :D. 2700+ and a prometia amd kit are on the way. Just need to decide which nforce board to get.

Looked at the price of the 3.06, and for that i could get the nforce, 2700+ and prometia kit with pocket change still left over.

Does the memory have to be paired? Ive not actually got 2 identical sticks. The closest I have is some generic winbond BH5 and some twinmos with twinmos branded winbond chips. The only others I have are mushkin 3200, hynix 3500 and corsair 3200c2. Any ideas if a combo of any of these will work ok?

It's a shame though that we can't use higher mults than 12.5x... and that means that OPPs chip would max out where yours did @ 2638mhz :\ Or if we can somehow get higher than 211mhz :\

Yep 2638 is its max stable speed it will not run stable higher
well it will not run PIFAST higher without crashing out :(
I think its at 2.05v but don't quote me on that now, considering
what a stupid thing I did lol yep put heatsinks on mosfets and
never made a mounting point for doing v/core readings:(

Before I enabled the lower multiplers I was posting over 2638
with the 15x default but not stable actually took a few days to
get stable - plus I am not 100% sure I have a perfect air tight
seal in the prommy head - either that or what air is their when it
turns to water is collating on something and shorting the
CPU, its a now and then issue, but the one I think was stopping me getting that 12.5x multiplier @ 211fsb.

Anyway more Seal string has been ordered :D bargin performace
for XP2400 considering there is like a 100pound diff here in the
UK to the next chip up.

The new scores will not be updated until the weekend apart from the few I have done this evening so I can implement the user login script to save myself having to delete entries of identical scores etc.

But will be in fully functioning order on the weekend. You'll all get an e-mail about it :)

KAIN
12-04-2002, 08:35 PM
P.S. from now on anyone without a valid e-mail address will be unable to use the site. Due to the amount of fake entries I get!

Sorry guys!

Also sorry to anyone who appears to have had their entries deleted, due to one spammer I think some legitimate scores got caught in the deletions :( Gonna make the system a lot more fail safe as well.

12-07-2002, 11:53 AM
HUH? Where you trying to mod vmem the RDA ?

MrIcee
12-07-2002, 12:00 PM
Yep.....8RDA Vmem attempt. If anyone else attempts it I advise extreme caution...I will not give details but to tell you it resulted in the board spinning the fans up but no post, no LED readout amongst other things. The board needs the extra voltage to run 207 and 211 at tight timings without kick back to the desktop in 3DMark....that was my impetus for doing the mod.

Randi

muzz
12-07-2002, 12:29 PM
That blows bro.... lets us know how your making out( don't know what your plans are- another 1 ?), as I was waiting on that mod from you.

MrIcee
12-07-2002, 01:09 PM
muzz:)

My plans for a next board are what I was waiting for while playing with the 8RDA+..the Abit NF7-S. At this point it's a waiting game until I get the funds. The EPoX was not a bad board..but 2.9Vmem is not enough for high performance benching. I've done alot of mods but this one is similar to the Abit BD72..except the circuits appear to be different..hence my dead board.I've tried fixing it but it's all done.

Randi

Ah Randi, I feel for you bro, thats axactly what happened to my A78NX....

I am not convinced about the tight timings on the mem tho, 2-5-2-2 is fine on mine 2-4-2-2 is a bit much for it... at 2.9v that is...

Can you go much tighter than that??????

Or are you talking WCPedits?

MrIcee
12-07-2002, 03:12 PM
Galifrey my friend:)

Are you talking 1 stick of ram or 2??

Those timings you mention work for most benches. But when I attempted them at 204 and 207Mhz at 2700+Mhz with 2 sticks in Dual Channel mode....I was getting kicked back to the desktop out of 3DMark...which is a classic "not enough mem voltage" issue in 3DMark benching. Now..mind you...the memory I'm running is used to running tight timings on the KX7 and KD7 at 3.25v plus...so that may very well be MY issue as those boards needed alot of voltage to bench 3DMark at 200Mhz with maxed timings. All in all tho...the 8RDA+ is a decent board all around....my next stop will be an NF7-S:)

Randi:D

Galifrey
12-07-2002, 04:06 PM
I havent tried a 3dmark yet, but the pifast was done using 2-4-2-2 at 2.9v on corsair xms3500 v1.1

I think you are right about the nf7s tho, my guuess is it will spank...

Abit just seem to be doing the right things at present, and seeing the teething problems of the asus and epox, they might be doing their reputation a lot of good delaying the release...

whats the voltage options on the abit?

Can't tell everything yeat, but:

Modded Prometeia (R404, and more). You now the factory that makes the kompressor is close by.

Really good contakt to the "naked" core with a silver-alloy-quicksilver "filling" (I am a dentist you now) -this mod can be fatal to your life.... I don't use any Thermal Compound. The "filling" and the cobber-cooling-head are an integrated unit with the core. Good kontakt every time, and the "filling Expand...

I use IT7 Max 2 v2 very modded

Yeh that was on my 2200+ and 8K3A+. I still have the bongs and the TEC, but my Maze 2-1 doesn't have mounting kit anymore because I lost my Maze 3 ones and I sold that block. Anyways I'm getting a phase change delivered here very soon, two bongs are too hard to maintain...A lot of evaporation. ANyways sorry to go OT lol.
