When trying 1M, I can pass at 2550 9-11-9 with 1.775V. If I give it 1.8V, it will fail. These sticks seem like anything over ~1.8V and they flake out. I delidded one and they're definitely BBSE. Does this make sense at all?

sure its bbse?

Yeah, definitely BBSE. Raja, I'll try your suggestions when I get a chance.

At low voltages they seem to be pretty decent, but once I give them much juice they start to drop out. I've been doing all of my testing on an MIVG. I'm going to borrow a Z77-GD65 from a friend [and hope it doesn't blow up] for more testing.

Try run 2200 7-9-7-24 1T with 1.6V or less, imo decent bbse should passed 32m easy with any board.

There are some DIMMs that can't handle a lot of VDIMM. I have one set that tops out at 1.85V, only way to get it to scale is to chill it to -40 or so. It's one of those kits that has insufficient voltage tolerance and cold bugs too early to get decent numbers.

Bah... hope mine isn't like that! I'll try one stick at a time. Are there any recent MIVG BIOSes or did that stop once the MVG was released? I running the most recent one on Asus' site.

Use the most recent BIOS. What bugs do you have on that BIOS that need an update?

there are also bbse that don't like subzero i noticed :down:

Not sure if they're really bugs, but it seems a bit testy on whether or not it will boot. Sometimes it will fail to boot and then it will go into a Giga-like cycle until I kill the power at the PSU. It will go through the boot, pause on 49, then flash 60 and restart. A successful boot pauses on 60, then goes to 62.

Often times after I apply some settings, the boot will fail. I'll then just have to re-apply them and it will succeed. I also had a hell of a time getting AI II to install. I had to use a patch that isn't linked to on the MIVG page.

And finally, I still can't get any settings from Mem Tweakit to apply. I choose the value, hit apply, then it flashes and all values return to what they were before.

Sounds like its time for a z77 Tom. I had a hell of a time trying to get my Ivy to play nicely with my MIVE.

The AI Suite issue is something weird in Windows.

MemTweakIt should work, latest version with MemTweakit Support enabled in UEFI (used to be an option, could be permanently on now).


The rest of the BOOT cycle stuff sounds like the memory controller is failing training sometimes. Not much can be done about that.

The Z77 boards have layouts and components optimised for IB (hardware change), so the P67/Z68 boards are not going to keep up.

Hey Hondacity, long time!

Finally got a Z77 board. MivE couldn't keep up. Got a nice proc too but mems not so nice on air. Results with SSD and wazza.

Alex_tpc - 6:22:562 - 48x104.2 - 1389.5MHz - 10-13-12-32-130-1 - MVE - G.Skill TridentX 2666C11 2x4GB - 1.88V Air Cooling

Hey Hondacity.
it is not possible to postpone the date 14 days, so we can test maximus, here in Denmark, the first card is first arrived 2 days ago.

Does a SSD make a lot of difference for SuperPi?

Faster bootup faster waza,nothing else..

Last day: Aug1 PST
None qualifying date: Aug2 PST

Thanks.

I'm still using an ancient Raptor connected via eSata. No clue if that is slowing me down though.

Dumo - 6:18:703 - 50x100 - 1300MHz - 8-11-7-22-72-1T - MVE - Gskill BBSE - 1.915v - air

wow nice dumo , great time for the bandwidth and strong bonus loop

honda what does none-qualifying, as in if you submit on this day its not counted?

Even though August 1 is the final day for Hondas contest, there is no reason why you can't keep running 32m pi and submitting your scores here. This has been a great thread with a lot of people joining together just to have some simple fun and competition. Someone can volunteer and make a new list and run a second competition for another length of time.

the new boards signify ivy bridge marketability. will it introduce better efficiency probably not.

@pro

results outside the All-out-challenge time frame, will still be ranked in another list. so it goes on.

those who participated in the all out challenge time frame will of course be ranked historically :up:

Agreed 100%.

The fastest Gigabyte board in this contest will recieve: GA-X77X-UD5H TH (Thunderbolt board)

Thanks Gigabyte

Thanks Hondacity for putting this together :toast:

time to break out the gear again and force a second round for that UP5 TH LOL
