hehe :D Thx both Alpha and Gautam :toast:

Actually, I'm fighting for the lowest time @3.6GHz with these sticks @600MHz 4-4-4-4... Weird thing that it needs at least 2.5V to run stable @600MHz CAS4 while it ONLY needs 2.09V to do so @614MHz CAS5 :( Also, 2.6V results in less stability (at least for 32M calculations).

So close to sub 13mins :D

Interesting...no way that can really be cas 3...but it does seem to perform better than CAS 4. That's the fastest 3.6GHz time I've seen by a couple of seconds, and that too with only 2x512!

Lower tRFC possible?

yea, it's a Biostar bug... it missreads CAS4 (set into the bios of course) while running 2:3 ratio.

tRFC=28 seems the lowest possible.

I've been able to save few seconds up to 6.9GB copy-waza. (1.6GB more resulted in less stability: crashes or worst times)

oh i thought that was cas3.....these times are even more awesome then :toast:

6.9GB??? :eek:

Seems well worth it though, that time is just flat out amazing. I wonder how you'd do with 2x1024. :eek:

yeah he's got some supertweaks going on :D

Thx my friends :toast:

I'd love to try with a good 2*1024MB kit... my bro Quent is going to send me a kit of Corsair Dominator; may be sub 13mins @3.6GHz will become reality then :p:

Here's my lowest CPU clock to join the sub 13mins club. :)

YES! 11sec [IMG]http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3...mincpuzkc5.jpg[/IMG]

this takes about an hour on my athlon 64 x2, lol :D

when i get the time, i'll see what i can do

*thinks about crappy ram, crappy cpu and dfi expert mainboard*

i'm in for the 40.xx min contest :lol:

nice one coop :)

got one with the 17.xx category with allendale and some elcheapo micron sticks doing 600Mhz 32M :D

Not optimised yet but a start heh

http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/7...5661524xv4.jpg[/B]

I decided to try this out. :)

Unmoded p5b-dlx, no tweaks except pagefile ~160mb, old Windows XP install.

13m37sec SPI 32M (can't do SPI at higher ram speed, I need to Vmod the board for 600mhz ;))
http://i15.tinypic.com/35aw6ja.jpg

page file = 160M

how much of a gain did you see with this tweak

I never tried with bigger pagefile, I always close useless programs before running SPI.

But I will try tomorrow to see how much gain it gives. :)

dinos, rick fx, I'm still here. I will update on Sat. Thanks dinos.

14.xx with Allendale :)
E6400 @ 404x8=3232MHz, 4:5 505 4-4-4-4-4-20-4-9-4-9 with Asus Commando (1066 strap), 14m54.328s
Without Copy Waza (OS on FAT16 partition ;))

http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/9...3232mhzeb2.jpg

what the heck OS on FAT16 partition DO TELL MORE PLEASE

nice time btw :cool:

FAT16 is not really important, this is only the explanation why Copy Waza was impossible. In fact, it is not important at all ;).
I have very non-Pi partitioned HDD so for Pi OS there was only a couple of GB - so FAT16, why not ;), now I can flash with EZFlash without FDD :).

Just a not-really-well-tweaked (registry is absolutely not tweaked - I'm not good in it...) OS.

Tried with higher FSB but 4:5 and 1066 strap is very hard combination, even on Commando with ~2V @ NB...

My best 32M was 12m30.3xxs, 498 FSB @ 1066 strap :) (CPU is capable of ~510 FSB, NB is limiting).

Update with better scores :cool:

Ram only at 500Mhz 4:5, for now.
I will test 600mhz 2:3 after I do Vmods this week :)

Ram timings in notepad
Only tweak used is "kill explorer.exe"

SPI 32M --> 13m25.468sec

rick, a better score does no good unless it is done at a lower speed. Then only if it comes in under the "minute" mark. Also 1m pi's don't belong here. Slow your speed down to whatever to make 13min 59sec. etc.

LOL i stopped counting how many times we've all mentioned that to everyone.........maybe a bigass RED BOLD letters on first post might do the trick LOL heheh

Ok, SPI 1M results removed, sorry about that. :)

Your request is very vague and should be more specific in your first post. ;)

Here are couple suggestions: :)

Maybe you could start off your 1st post by mentioning that scores must be between a XXmin55sec - XXmin05sec bracket or XXmin50sec - XXmin10sec bracket and that all scores not respecting this criteria will not be added to the list. Also, maybe remove all existing scores that aren't within the time brackets.

Example: (using scores already in the first post)

13m50sec - Goal:14minutes - 14m10sec

3604.1......camouflage...............13.52.609
3596.3......alpha0ne...................13.54.297
3600.9......eva2000....................13.56.422
3800.1......dinos22................... ..13.57.187
3392.2......bachus_anonym...........13.57.485
4000.........funkflix.......................14.03. 781

I hope this is helpful :2cents: :)
