difference between DDR3 at those speeds and timings to DDR2 is maybe 5-6 seconds so that ppl dont start thinking its all ddr3 lol
i find the last part hard to believe
why :DQuote:

what is soooo special about pi ? uhm uhm ?.
tight timings doesnt help eh, they help enough ;P.
lets do wprime instead, i pwn my friends Q6600 even at lower clock than Q6600, then you intel guys complain it isnt comparable (Core 2 guys)
Well, it IS!.
Core 7 does good there too though, but anyways. Impressive 3dmark run at those speed and if the settings i posted @last page is applied i guess we can see something close to WR.
3d Benchmarks:
High HT LINK!.
High as possible cpu clock OFC, but balance between HT link and Cpu clock (coldbug issues here guys @ higher HT links)
Cpu benchmarks( Especially Single thread and alike(anything core 2 score good at)
Low HT link for non coldbug.
Maximum clock.
Tight timings for some.
3D benchmarks is the hard thing, and really, number crounching like superpi which is hilariously slow at calculating pi is worth nothing for me, i'd run it to compare vs same architecture/brand.
anyways current WR, well wouldnt say WR since PH2 is due to release :p but but, highest reported is : http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=474771 came in just recently :)
SuperPi is like caviar. It's an acquired taste. :DQuote:

Hi, I have this motheboard but cannot find the Dec 26th beta bios. Does anyone have it? Please share it to me. So appriciate.
No one would expect that someone just joined XS will understand what special about pi , you need to be here for more than a year to know ;)Quote:

I've sent a registration before, maybe cause i said my hobbies were: Hifi, overclocking, hardware, partying, cars that i didnt get accepted :p to have more interests than just computers.
Watch out on CES, amd is going to do Lhe have i heard, maybe 7 ghz ? o.0
It's not wise to write your email here, You should send him a private messageQuote:

PI brings the true overclocker out of you with low level system tweaks and fine tuning voltages, yes you can actually shave time off with correctly set voltages, its that sensitive to performance........
High HT offers no benefit unless you bottleneck the entire platform..........this isn't socket 939 people.
i think whar makes pi so popular is the nature of how it runs..
watching the loops go by when on the limit of a WR or something is great.. you can see from the first loop if the run is faster than the last..
I don't have any problem with the bench in that regard.. I think if everyone can agree in peace that the 2 CPU's performance differs by such a huge margin that comparisons between them can't be made on it anymore, and the worth of each cpu shouldn't be judged on the times, then it's all good...
if Phenom 2 was say 10% slower than yorkfield @ it, it would still be a valid bench for comparisons, as that's not an unreasonable lead given ther raw single threaded crunching differences between the uArch's.
what you say is fair enough but i do have some reservations as well as this was not what a lot of AMD fans were like when Intel was :banana::banana::banana::banana:house at itQuote:

but intel was never :banana::banana::banana::banana:house at it :p:
the netburst arch performed as bad at superpi (clock/clock) vs A64 k8 as it did in any other app.. (i.e 45-50% slower clock/clock) , this ipc was reflected across most benchmarks out there, not just pi.. (with the exception of some encoding apps).. it's even reflected in the model numbering (i.e a 3400+ A64 would do pi around the same time as a 3.4Ghz netburst)
fastwrd to phenom, or better still phenom II vs Core 2 .. it's a good 35-40% behind clock/clock with a 4Mb conroe/kent, and closer to 50% behind 6M wolf/york.. which we all know is totally unrepresentative of the general performance across the board (single threaded)
Looks like the green team are getting back to business :)
What do you reckon these will be like on air guys?
had say between 3.5Ghz to 4Ghz on air!
this is the punchline bro :)Quote:

Very nice work Yang'boy. :cool:
Can't wait for my cherrypicked 940 on Biostar Tpower 790GX A2+, DFI 790GX and Destroyer, all LN2 cooled :)!
Recently sold my Blackops setup, which means MONEY for things like this!! :up:
Sincerely
AMD is looking good with the new Phenom II
i've got some problem when i'm using new bios -
when i'm Ocing with LN2 on this board - at ~ -60*C ~ 70*C it's can't reset after tweaking in bios ???? T_T
sounds like my old gigabyte board, but it didnt like subzero at all >_<Quote:

all benching programs have to be taken into context..
ie how the system was set up, timings etc etc
3dmark is always a good one to compare systems with
but this is gold..
