Why I dont like Spi

[bullet2urbrain]

hey all. i have SPi.. because it seems to be the "bench" of choice here.. but here is what happened.. is this my fault/unstable or my SPi's doing..

i started out @ 2610 or 290*9 and ran SPi 1m and 32m both passed. so i used clockgen to up it slowly to ~2800... then @ 2800 i tried to run SPi 1M then it errored as i kinda expected.. so i backed it down.. .all the way to 2400mhz.. and for some reason it keeps erroring with a SQ error.... i know its "stable" @ 2600mhz.. but for some reason it wont do Pi???


PS: im posting this @ 2400 too.

Have you reopened spi? You might need to remove the files in the spi folder with the weird names. Reopening should do the trick though.

[MrSeanKon]

You must delete all temporary files when SuperPi crashes otherwise it will crash forever! :)
Don't forget that SuperPi stretches RAM and CPU.

[Ugly n Grey]

yep you can bench 3d at speeds that will make Spi error out instantly... it's very touchy

[Kunaak]

delete your super pi, redownload it.

you probably corrupted the text file, of Super Pi.

[bullet2urbrain]

correct answer.. it was needing to be redownloaded.. and that fixed it.. still cant break into the 26s SPi 1M tho.. kinda sucks. but i got down to 28Min 32M SPi.. from 43Min.. so thats good.

When you fail you have to delete ALL the files BUS superpimod...

what ?

[Vincentvega18]

He means but. Spi creates logs after it runs, saves your times etc., when it errors out it is saved in these files so next time you run with those files there it will error out again, no matter how stable it is. Its an error in the program

[crotale]

Once SuperPi have failed, you need to restart the program, otherwise you'll continue to get errors.

Thanks for clearing that up Vincent.

I remember once I cleared all .txt files of pi folder and it was still showing weird characters, I never deleted .exe though

[bullet2urbrain]

Yup Thanks everyone for clearing it up..

Just to verify.. which is harder to "Pass" something like AQ3/3dmark or SPi 32m
i dont like OCCT or P95 because i dont understand what they are doing..

[Vincentvega18]

for sure spi32m, just because the length of the stress it puts on the cpu. Something like spi8m it may be closer. usually spi1m is a little higher than 3d stable speed.

[bullet2urbrain]

k thats what i thought cuz once i saw SPi 32m finish @ 2600 i figured taht was stable enough and sure enough it has been running flawlessly for 28hrs now.

i dont like OCCT or P95 because i dont understand what they are doing.. They run a series of algorithms on your system and compare the answer it comes out with to the correct answer. If you get the same answer, your system is stable, if not, your making errors.
