I will play with it some more-----but I'm kinda in agreement with you about the 2nd Core------I'm not sure the quicker failure rate is a big deal----especially since the 2nd core seems to act as a "booster" for the first core.
Am going to raise the vcore a tad more----but since I'm on air----can't really go much higher and be safe----at least in my mind.
What are good scores for the new PCMark 05???
I just downloded it to try out. EDIT: Got 1750 as a score----seems paltry but maybe this is a REALLY tough test.
Anybody got any comparisons----or is there something amiss with my rig....

Here's what Beilyaal said to me over on the DFI forum about how the X2 allocates processing power. Acts kinda like a "booster" if I understand his logic.
"Windows will allocate the cores equally among threads with the same priority. If one app has a higher process priority class and is running two threads at full load that app will take up most of the time and other apps will not get much processing time.
If two apps are running with the same priority both apps will get equal time on the cores.
If one app is running 1 thread another app is running 1 thread and a third app is running 2 threads, the third app will get 50% of the processing power while the other two will have to split the other 50% of power.
Generally calculation work should be done on a low priority thread so the gui will get more processing time and keep the computer experience fast, but most apps will calculate demanding things like video encoding with normal priority, and can thus make the experince laggy.
Two cores help with this problem, because there is less chance that two demanding caclulations are done at the same time, but if you start a lot of programs that does anything mayor (like rendering a movie or batching a job) your computer will become slow like a single core again.
Generally if you don't do anything with the programs you have running they don't take up any processing time, so just having 7 programs started will not slow you down."
There is a bug with X2 in PCMark05. Going by the charts an X2 @ 2.7Ghz should get about 5900. I can't get a good run either. It seems all the problems are on HDD related tests. At least 3 other people on the futuremark board also have the problem.
Eric
well so much for that test then. Is there anything left in this world withoujt "a bug" :rolleyes:
:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: happens doesn't it.......... When you jump on the new stuff early to "Blaze New Trails", this is often the result. In time it will all get resolved! ;) ;)
Regards-
My score was 910 w/ my X2@2700. :p: Oh, yeah, there is definately a bug.Quote:

2.65ghz that was stable with 1.57v is now stable @ 1.46v... Going to be long week slowly burning in and ramping up my 4200+... Maybe 2.75ghz stable hopefully. (oh this is regarding both core, if it can't run prime 95 for more than 8 hours on dual prime setup, I don't even bother)
since yesterday i also have a 4200+ in my board
my first OC result after few hours was 2620Mhz at 1,5Vcore. But the secound core is holding me back :( the first can easily run 50Mhz higher at this Vcore
but my water wasn't very cold, today i had to turn on the fans :banana:
i just tested it with Prime. mayby it is a prime-only problem?
in next time i test the stability and ignore prime, but with more load on the secound core

This will also show up in super pi and systool overclocking utility and maybe other places. I am beginning to think that there is something else going on here. It seems like 90% of these duals have a slow poke 2nd core, although not always #2 core. maybe there is some other interaction in play here that is causing this. It is difficult to pin down, because in normal use it is hard to tell what core is doing what amd when. You would think that two cores off the same die would be closer in top end at least most of the time, and we are seeing the exact opposite.Quote:

That has been suggested. That's why I wnat to hear from anyone with an X2 not on Nvidia sata connectors/drivers.
I'm not running raid but are using the nvidia sata drivers without issue........

Okay, at 270x10, I am perfectly stable with 1.52v with my 4400+, in both Prime95 Large/Small FFTs and SuperPi32M. At 9x300, I have instability in both. Weird because I can Memtest just fine at 300MHz 1:1 at 2.5-4-4-8 with my Patriot XBL.
Score......Quote:

Hmm, I wonder what is different on your X2 setup whereas your score looks normal.
Is everyone having the problem using a DFI board? Don't know why that would be a variable but there must be something in common.
Edit: It's also weird that I think I was the only one that couldn't successfully run PCMark04. Couldn't get a hardrive score higher than(1).
Isn't ShoNuff up a few posts on an Asus same as you?
Maybe it's the brand of drive? :confused:Quote:

PCDoc isn't using RAID, how about everyone else?Quote:

All the top scores are single drives....
wonder why it is primarily showing up on x2's though?
Probably some reason similar to why the x2's can't complete the grammar check on '04 :p:Quote:
