Anything more I can be doing?

Just checkin' in with you guys...I'm trying to fine tune my memory timings for 1M runnin' and I just wanna make sure there's nothing I'm missing so far...

Here's what I've been able to manage out of this thing so far...beyond 300x9 isn't a very realistic option without more cooling, so taking that into account, here's my results so far:

You memory timings probably won't get a whole lot better, but there are other things you can do to get your Pi score down. You should be able to get 30s @ 2.7GHz with some tweaking. Check out the Super Pi Tweaks thread for some help. If you do everything in there and use a classic Windows theme you'll probably drop half a second off your score.

some tips for pi:

-real time mode in task-manager
-diagnostic boot mode (run -> msconfig -> diagnostic boot mode)
-kill explorer
-....

I realise that I've about "maxed out" my timings for my 300MHz TCCD...but I'll check out the thread again, I thought I had done everything I could...but maybe not. Hopefully I can hit 30s.

Well, took a little bit of time, ended up taking the easy way out to clear 30s....but it's done. Not a LOT more then 1M stability, but I'm having fun pushing this thing to its limits for quick speed-benches with 1M. :cool:

Gonna see how much more I can squeeze out of it sitting here, and hopefully get 'er in the freezer tonight or tomorrow night to simulate some Pelt temps and see if it'll be worth the setup. :D

A couple simple tweaks, a Tras of 5, and 3 more htt got shaved .6 of a second off my time...which means that theoretically I should be hitting 29s fairly easily once I'm into the 310x9 range...which i know for a FACT this thing does on the lower temps.....now I'm getting all excited.

:woot:
