P.S I didn't see your post 1st time round.....
no submissions? 8 days to go :D
I am still waiting for my cpu and some ram. My current 3770K can't do 5G. :( I am also waiting on some PSC based ram and i want to give 4x4GB samsung HYC0 ram a go. Don't expect any miracles but i hope i can submit something nice once i have the stuff in.
ToyTen - 6:32:453 - 50x100- 110MHz - 8-9-8-21-79-1 - Asus Gene V - Gskill Perfect Storms 17066CL9 2x2GB - 1.7750v Air Cooling

Hey ToyTen nice to see you my friend. You need to work on that score buddy, i can easily beat that with 100MHz on the CPU to spare, lol!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6min29aida.png
need more mem mhzs mate! 8-12-8-28 and push frequency
Yeah, i know. Soon as i have your CPU i hope to submit a decent score. I have some Gskill Pi's coming as well. :)
:D should be nice!
I have a 3770K arriving tomorrow or Thursday and just some nice BBSE to play with... Might be able to dice the mem, but no time for LN2.
I finally got a better cpu, but the next day I killed my board:eek:
Trying to decide which board to order, or maybe just hold off. Even on SS Ivy is very limited, other than this 5ghz challenge there isnt much else to do without buying a dewar and ln2.
Hey Honda maybe you should prolong this challenge by a couple of weeks?
if you're ever in buffalo, I got a 50L and spare bedroom :)Quote:

Honda could u update my score :up:Quote:

Good work Dumo, was going cold on the CPU the key to getting the BBSE to run 2600?Quote:

Been messing around all day trying to get everything stable but failed time after time.
Then i decided to give my 16GB of Samsung Green low profile stuff a go:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...n23922crop.png
Not really impressive but it didn't take excessive volts, just 1.61V on the RAM but it probably could have done with less.
Now that i have an idea what caused the instabilty i will give it another go tomorrow with the PSC rams. :)
hehehe nice volts for 5ghz mate :D
Sure is, it's a bit hard to read but it says 1.376V. Iirc it was 1.37V in bios. Happy with that. :)
excellent run Dumo, are those green pcb or black?
is that by chance the kit you got form Aussie?
Thanks l0ud. These are my kit of mix green and black pcbs from 2 different batchesQuote:

i think the "right" psc can give them a run for their money on air. once you go cold its over though... bbse = win so just rub it in a little. :p::rofl:Quote:

You need to Ln2 those sticks Dumo, they might be a set that scales with more cold.

Board and kits already greased up:up:
we're gonna see surprises huh dumo? i hope your blackness arrives in time.
update in the next few hours
So I did a quick run yesterday after I got everything set up.
Does 6:29 sound okay for 2200 9-11-9 with no tweaked subtimings and no wazza? Sounds pretty in-line to me... I just need to figure out how to get this damned chip to boot with higher memory. It's previous owner said it did 2800 no issue, but I can't get any higher than 2400 to boot.
Using Kingston 2000 9-9-9 BBSE sticks that do 2133 8-9-8 at 1.65V.
try 8-11-9-28 1.85v 2400mhz
Today i tried 2x2GB Trident 2000 c9 which should contain BBSE as far as i know but it was a disaster, couldn't get it to boot over 2200 and it hated volts. Maybe Gskill changed chips on the latest kits as this one got back from RMA a couple of months ago.
I'll give it a try when I get home today. I found out one of the three sticks is worse than the other two. It wouldn't do 2400 9-11-9 at 1.725V but the other two will. I want some 2600 action though!Quote:

Also bought a kit of 2000 ripjaws from Sears for 46.00, they do 2450 8-10-7 but no more. Its very hard to find a good kit anywhere now. Someone is selling the 2133 perfect storm 6gb kit on ebay now but they are asking waaaaaaaay too much.Quote:

Interesting issues...
First off, I can't boot Cas 8 with anything over ~2300, no matter what mem volts.
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?
Check subtimings for CAS 8. tRWSR & DR need to be 4+ to be stable, in fact I'd set 6 across the entire range just to debug. If that does not do it, those sticks are not that great.
sure its bbse?Quote:

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.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.

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.Quote:

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:
Thanks Pro:) Lots of fun clocking this rigQuote:

It always surprises me that vendors give prizes out only if you're using their equipment. If the board is good, the winner will start using it regardless of what they were using before. Why artificially limit your market to your current pool and prevent yourself from possibly scoring a new customer in the future?
Gigabyte offered a prize on the last day, I could have said "no, too late" but I acepted the offer.
C-N, appears to be the top Gigabyte board (non Gigabyte employee) ?
C-N is in the lead using a Gigabyte mobo, without being staff, yes.Quote:

However, when this being announced so very late, do you think its fair to make it vendor specific? I mean, it should have been in the rule from the very beginning, I think angoholic deserves to win, no disrespect to C-N, but angoholic is the no#1 in the contest, who does not work for any vendor.
Once again; Really impressive result by C-N!
Go C-N for the win!
nooooooO!!!!! REBENCH REBENCH REBENCH!!! lol! great job C-N, you will really love the UP5 (if you win that is)
3570K > 3770K :D
Vote for C-N
Don't mean to say you should turn it down, I'm just sharing that I've always seen it as an odd marketing tactic.Quote:

this os doesnt support memtweakit, but trfc 78, twr 10, tfaw 16, thirds 1-1-1-1-4-4-1-4-4
the key is the IMC, the difference between 1350 and 1420 7-11-7 is all IMC strength.. my bonus loops are a little weak, but you can see the extra bandwidth pulls back some time..

heres another similar run but at the next bump down

well done James!!
played with some PSC today, first session still trying to get my head around them. Pushed into 17s at least which was ok
dinos22 - 6:17:969 - 50x100 - 2x2GB GSKILL PSC @1300MHz - 7-10-7-26-1T - 2.1v (ln2 cooled memory & CPU) - GIGABYTE Z77X-UP5 TH

@ James
that Ripjaw Z kit wouldn't be the quad channel 2400 8-11-11-31 kit would it?
Regardless most excellent work especially with the cpu on air, it does have a killer IMC.
and Dinos excellent run as well, seems like PSC is showing it's true colors:up:
i think it's just a heatsink he's using
absolutely sick combo pro :clap:
well done! :yepp:
anyway i did not try 1400 7-11-x-x with xhd because i was limited to 1,92v with the gene :D
less than 24hours to go
Well done sire.Quote:

I for one am very happy to see vendors running comps giving prizes & Fugger doing what he does as imho its all good & although I may or may not agree with vendors wishes regarding what/who the prize are offered to that’s there right & I respect that.
Today will be a good day to watch the 32M backup top trumps :)
Great numbers Youngpro & Dinos :up:
I don’t have any backups what I have posted is the best I can do with relative ease i.e. board in case normal cooling etc.
yepp we benched for fun and explored what performances are possible.when joining this fun battle nobody knew that he could possibly win anything. so if fugger offers prizes, that is a nice gesture anyway :up:Quote:

Jokes aside, I agree, very good 'contest', but mostly, eventhough MovieMan earlier posted it being 'off track', I think there has been a really good dialog in this thread, about effeciency, and how to improve performance of the 2D benchmark.
I think people who want to start benching, will get alot of golden advice, from reading this thread - and that - that is what xtremesystems.org has been all about since I joined in 2005, helping eachother improving.
