Yep, but remember, this cpu is a garbage 32m chip on a garbage 32m platform. Maybe I'll have to borrow a 965 or 975 board and see what happens :p:Quote:

Perhaps the subs need some work?
How can they get any tighter? :p:Quote:

Why don't you get a P5B deluxe and a B2 chip and show us how it's done man. ;)
I got p5n-e (650i) today, will take a look how bad it is :D
Uhhhh....uhhhhhh.....your tRAS could be 3!Quote:

Just for you :toast: Any other bright ideas? :p: LOL And, NO, I'm not gonna try to run CL3 or 1T @ 600 :DQuote:

TBH, 20's as low as I've seen myself on a 32m. OPB has said in the past that 18 is possible...I believe it, but haven't yet tried. Even at 18 though, the most I'd pick up would be ~1.5 - 2 seconds total off of the 32m @ trfc20....Quote:

S7 the timings are nice and tight...but the issue is still 680i + B1 chip for you............check eva2000's screenshots as he's been able to put the striker to low 13M runs with such timings on B2 chip........
i don't know what the difference is between B1 and B2 in 32M runs but i assume it will be sizable
Right! Spi.exe needs theme service running in order to properly call uxtheme.dll millions of times during a run. :p: Then Luna theme is IMO way lighter than Classic... :)Quote:

Thanx for the tip about the themes....didn't know about that one. I'm running 2k3, but will patch it with a theme. Already running priority though.......Quote:

Ok, let me rephrase: How can the timings get any tighter for mere mortals like us?Quote:

Yes, it's a new 2k3 install...by the way George, where do I find myself a Maximizer?
i've played with both chips and from what i could figure out it was about 16 seconds on 680i.........but i really should have done more testing on 680i and P965 to be more certain :(Quote:

DDR Maximizer.......PM me for details.....;)
i'll have one if you're handing them out :D
will come in handy for an Aussie TV show on OCing i'll be a part of :D
ha ha, so you signed up eh dinos :DQuote:

OK, I tried the "theme tweak" and maybe the reason why I've never heard about it is because IT DOESN'T WORK :p:Quote:

This is about as fast as this setup will go @ 3600. The only "big" tweak I didn't use was maxmem, but I never had too much success with it in the first place. It's quite amazing to see just how much the B2 steppings are faster than the B1's @ 32m. From what I'm told, while there's a difference in 1m's, the discrepancy isn't as bad.......
@Hipro: You'll be hearing from me in a bit ;)
I think that CPU just likes you only as much as you like it. :p:
It's true though, themes seems to help 1M noticeably, but doesn't have such a pronounced impact on 32M. I did however lose about 5 seconds, which isn't too bad for any tweak.
Some differences that I notice between you and eva-
You're at CAS 4, he's running CAS 5. Your FSB is 450, his is 400. Now one would think that both of those would be working towards your advantage, but 680i is such an odd chipset, its a chance both are hurting. :S Perhaps the 3:4 divider in particular as an additional latency hit, or perhaps you're on a looser strap or something similar as you would be on i965 by running a higher FSB.
Yes, B1's are slower, but IIRC its more like 10-15 seconds or so and not 30. I only tried 32M once on a B1, and that was months ago. I don't recall the time being too far off the norm. But then again, perhaps the effect is more pronounced on 680i than on the Intel chipsets. :shrug:
Dumo said that his B1 was 45 seconds slower (~5%) in 32m...Quote:

Cas 4-5 does not really matter all that much. Stephen, you might be running some timings too tight also :)
That's not at all what I experienced, but I never did a straight compare. 45 seconds sounds nuts.
THIS IS DUMO'S CPU ;)Quote:

Edit: And 5% sounds about right.....
Edit: So maybe I should try running the memory @ 622mhz Cl5? I started running 32m @ that speed 4-4-3-4, but obviously I didn't have enough Vmem since windows started closing by themselves until the whole OS locked up :D
