SimpleTECH,
that you can write settings for 220 BCLK for UD5?
That was high, with 2x 360 rads and fairly quiet fans I can do 4620 HT with temps between in mid 70's.Quote:

Have you tried to lower CPU pll voltage SimpleTECH? It should allow you to also lower vcore and temps a bit. I use 1.5v on mine.

Looks like what they say about F-batches needing more volts is true. I couldn't do it with HT enabled in my limited testing, would probably take 1.45v+ which isn't really safe on air methinks.

4.8g linx 980x
Nice results everyone :up:
I have enjoyed this thread a lot, just haven't had a good new chip in a while to post any results. If there was one thing I would change in this thread, it would be a requirement to show a screen of the test while its running. With the software motherboards come with now its easy to make an average chip look like a Super clocker. Maybe I am just anal but when I see a screen of a LinX run at 4.5ghz or whatever, and with no screen taken under load it bugs the piss out of me.
Here is an example of why, just a quick run.

Totally agree with you. Would be best if we have screens with LinX running and complete like yourself, myself and many others have done. Just make it as much no BS as possible. No offence meant to anyone obviously, but when it comes down to it, most of us don't know each other and have no way of knowing whats real, only what you show in your screen shots.

I'm more concerned about some very low GFLOPS, which looks to me like not totally stable, or not done with latest linpack libraries, from my experience.
Probably best solution is to leave it on everybody's conscience and honor. ;)
Plus you can simply PhotoCHOP a screenshot either way.Quote:

I think that comes down to LinX needing to be updated.
My thoughts were, you see a chip that has finnished a LinX run at 4500 or higher on extremely low vcore, the natural response is "What batch# is that? ", so 20 people run out looking for a batch thinking they may gey lucky and get a super chip.
But I guess this would complicate things more.
Im working on a not so great Xeon w3550, hope to have results tonight.
@donmarkoni: you are right, its a club not meant for competing. I posted a 5ghz LinX run in a thread on another forum, a 5ghz club thread. I was told "Nice run" but because they required a 5ghz cpuz validation to be in the club, the submission was not valid..
Not the best chip in the world but finally passed 4500mhz no HT. Using as much of a 3x1gb kit as possible to test in 64bit W7, just to take a screen at 19 passes killed my gflops.
That is the only reason why I do not like opening 3 instances of CPUZ and taking a screenshot while I am running LinX because it lowers my gflops. I have not seen my gflops drop as low as yours did though. It usually drops from 66.XXXX to 65.XXXX.
Or clocked up afterward for the screenshot. :shrug:Quote:

(no accusations here....just wondering :cool:)
If I select less that 2500mb of the 3072 it only drops down to 64gflops when taking a screen, but wanted to use as much as possible. I have become lazy and started using this 3x1gb kit to save time, will require more voltage, or at least more vtt to be stable with a 6gb kit.
I was asking myself many times too how GFLOPS are so low on some entries. :shrug:Quote:

OK, I know that GFLOPS would drop all the way down to 60-some if UnCore and RAM are dropped to lowest multis possible, but what's the point? I wouldn't use it like that. :shakes:
I don't have a hexacore chip but some people may have to do that to pass 20 runs LinX to get in the 4.5Ghz club. They may not be using those settings for 24/7 use but I could be wrong:confused:
Check the date on the submission, I did mine back in March before the new Linpack libraries.:rolleyes:Quote:

Some people rigs up their AC unit, some go outside for low ambient - to get as high as they can. Others just run with 24/7 settings and temps. I think both ways are good, its just a club.
Some people dont give enough info about cooling and ambient etc to be a valuable entry for me or others interested in batch info, so that would be my prefered wish for improvement. But ultimately, this club is one of the better batch info threads I'v seen in years, so keep'm coming. :up:

I agree 100 percent , this is just like a xbox360 achievement 4.5 is the win nothing more here , if better temps volts or bandwith, good for you. Passing with a 4.5 stable face is all that is needed here . . but I also agree with OC nub it should be proved , not every screen , but at least run cpu z screen threw middle of linx run . . . cause people who think this is a competition might be showing invalid info . . or to good to be trueQuote:

Very hard to believe the last stable clocks... :p Think you are overdoing it now... and fell into ya own trap...
Give me a shot plz with LinX running at them speeds... Realtemp, coretemp, turbo tool open... think you are on chilled water or such... but 5Ghz LinX stable is quite an achievement... this needs further investigation :p
Agree. That's as fake as they get. For so many obvious reasons that it's not even worth mentioning.Quote:

Everyone should read this - http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/...test-linx.html
Mind you, there are also a lot of respectable screenshots that i've seen with good amount of gflops on here.
Having varying gflops without awareness can also hinder your overclocking method, you might increase a voltage and it'd pass for longer, but it was only because of the low gflops. Therefore leading to a false idea of what makes it stable (or not).
Does 4480mhz count? No? I dont think I like this club. LOL. Just kidding. 4.5G is a good number to use. I can get 21x213 stable and 195x23 stable but getting 1 more mhz from bclk at any multi to give the 4.5G is driving me insane. I am totally stable at 4480-4485mhz but 4500mhz causes instant lockup or bsod with any setting when linx starts.
The only nice thing about this is the bclk and cpu mhz max out at the same point.
It's because you're running with HT off. Check the other submission with HT on on Gulftowns in this thread, and you'll see that Ivanqu is well in line.Quote:

Can't speak for the others, but FWIW I was running around 1800 for the memory, somewhere around 3GHz for uncore. Not terribly ambitious, but about as far as made sense to me to run 24/7. Not purposefully crippled, but nowhere near pushed as hard as possible. Chances are I was probably surfing the net at the same time as running it as well. Sure as hell wasn't making any attempt to break any GFLOPS records.
Now we could decide to be stability nazis and enforce shutting down all services and whatnot, but AFAIK, this thread is more about having fun than being some competition with heavy stipulations.
Of course, it doesn't surprise me that the bickering and calling people out as "cheaters" etc is occurring...it's bound to happen when people spend a lot of time and money to find a good chip and coax everything they can out of it, only to see someone else with a result that's better. Human nature, I guess, to try to dismiss it on any grounds possible.
I just started reading and I can say it's great article and a very detailed guide. Should be in first post. Bravo for finding/linking it. :clap:Quote:

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not calling anyone a cheater, and have even reacted against such accusations, but IMO it's not a real stability with such a low GFLOPS. Don't get me wrong, I'm not underestimating anyone's efforts.
I wouldn't even want anything changed here, cause this i just a club, no disrespect meant, on the contrary, we should have fun here and club should serve as a guide.
That article, How to run LinPack stress test(LinX/IBT)properly-an explanation(maybe a guide), should be used for guideline, but I wouldn't go that far on disabling win services, AV, or similar, but people should avoid disk activity at any cost and just restrain oneself from using computer for less then an hour. ;)
I am not satisfied if knowing that my system is potentially unstable and that I could avoid it by letting it be properly stressed, cause I fold on it. Just a side note: I'm not a stressing freak, this is the most useless stressing I've ever done, 20 loops of LinX. ;)
EDIT: Sorry for double posting.
I agree.
Quite a few people have got 40-50 glfops on their 980X at 4.5ghz +, with HT enabled. Yep, quite a few people, that must make it right.
However, look at runs like this - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...9&postcount=40
and this - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=423
Or even this :eek: - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=700
He's even using an older version of linx. So you can tell there's a lot of variations in gflops between systems, or even between different boot ups :ROTF: Guides like i linked can make sure you're running it consistently everytime, and hopefully even between different systems.
I wouldn't say it was cheating either, just a lack of awareness of how to make sure linpack is properly stressing the CPU. This is why i sometimes use prime95, as it's consistent. But of course, if you know how to get linpack running consistent then it really can be a hell of a stress tester, which i've realised recently :up:
I don't disable any services either, that's a bit over the top and you don't really get back your efforts :rofl:
Ummm, maybe donmarkoni would be kind enough to do 3 runs @ 4GHz of 64-bit with say 4GB of mem (24000). I would expect ~90% of full SSE with no HT (6 threads) and ~75% of full SSE with HT (12 threads).Quote:

FWIW even though using SMT (HT) gives lower Flops it uses more power, ~10% more on my 860, so is probably more stressful than the higher Flops on separate physical cores.
I have even made it run wrong with an i7 950. Twice now trying to get 4.5G Linx has put out a 40 gflops pass showing 100% load and 75C max temp on air at 1.525Vcore. Stopping linx and restarting it sends it to the 64-65 gflops 100% load and 92C it normally runs. I didnt read how to run linx the right way yet but its not hard to tell 40gflops, 75C and 1.525Vcore on air is wrong.
