interesting

this should now report true i7 bandwidth

let's see it rip boys :D

I like, love those Volterra VRM amperage readings.
Wish VRM manufacturers other than Volterra would provide current data...

seems no different than the beta build 4.60.1641 except for the new splash screen.... I wish it supported my motherboard better....

well it does load faster so that is a plus.

I love this program. However, where was my email notification of this release!?!? I'm glad they fixed the latency issues that plagued the earlier betas.

wahey this is great news, and also my key for version 4.60 works on this version :up:

thanks lavalyst :clap:

Mmmmm nice.
Hope my current key works fine with the new version, because I'm bored to death and can't bother e-mailing Lavalys :p:

will this version have a different numbers in Read Write Copy?
like it was with 4.2v and older ones

Benchmark results should only be compared with results obtained with the same EVEREST version. EVEREST itself warns you about that each time you run a benchmark.

I'd like to see the 12V and the 3.3V rails... it helps me with overclocking. I know software monitors are not accurate etc, but I like seeing when things are dipping. right now all I have is the 5V in everest. my Areca 1280ML raid controller can see the 12V and 3.3V rails, but it's kinda hard to use that in games.

I'm referring to the Gigabyte EX58-UD5 motherboard. The Evga X58 has this support in everest.

Fiery, I just upgraded my license today due to the release of 5.00, I had been happy with 4.60 but my years upgrades ran out a few months ago. All I can say is Köszönöm :)

Do we upgrade for free if say we have full version of 4.6?

edit: Yes, registration code for 4.6 validated version 5.0

since u asked, i would like the VTT voltage and fan RPM for fan1/2 for my blackops. that way i wouldent need agies panel for monitoring affter bios changes and i could just have everest to get a ball park voltage

something wrong there.. I'm getting 9333MB/s on that test, I only beat i7 on two tests :(

Your motherboard doesn't monitor +12V and +3.3V rails. You can verify that in the BIOS Setup (PC Health Status page).

Can you see those readings in the BIOS Setup? If yes, then please submit a report to us in EVEREST / main menu / Report / Submit Report To Lavalys. Based on the submitted report and Sensor Dump we can tweak the sensor support for BlackOps.

BTW, in the case you're wondering, submitted reports do not contain any personal or software information, and they are only used for EVEREST development purposes.

there is seriously something wrong with it.. the higher the BLCK the less memory bandwidth ? wtf? at 200 BLCK i get only 9300MB/s read .. at 205 i get 9000MB/s....

The older 4.60 betas did that for over a month... ;)

That something that interested me too, I checked with my system some minutes ago and for me they are the same with 5.00 and the last 4.60 betas.

Thanks for releasing the new version of this great program!

The newsletter was sent out yesterday. I'm sorry for the delays, we had some issues with the mass emailing system we use :(

any way to disable that message as it gets annoying after the 1000000th time :D

And still, quite a few users don't recognize it :) Or maybe they don't interpret it ;)

I notice the latency is now reported much higher for i7 RAM.

i like it still, its never more than 500MB/s or so off from another version

Cheers for the heads up, seems my old 4.6 key works with this as well. :up:

In previous EVEREST versions the special IMC optimizations of Core i7 processors managed to get around our memory latency measurement routine and optimized it beyond the expected level. That's why EVEREST v5.00 measures considerably higher memory latency scores on Core i7, and actually those high scores are the real ones. We expect the real memory latency to be at least 50% higher than the ones your could measure using EVEREST v4.60.

Thanks for the great work Fiery, I'm still very happy to have purchased it! I could be just imagining things but v5.00 seems to be measuring lower latency on my system as well (with same exact settings as when I was using v4.60), could this be possible? It went from an average of 55.6ns down to 52.2ns (averaged three different runs, each run after a restart)? Although I've never measured the difference before this could simply be the difference that any new revision has, hence why you mentioned you should only compare data within the same revision version?

We keep on improving our benchmark routines, so at a version update it is normal to have some benchmark methods producing better scores than with the previous EVEREST version.

very nice work on the i7 latency numbers, makes sense that its much higher actually looking at the performance of latency favouring applications :toast:

Any plan on updating the way that the cores temperature is calculated on AMD cpu's ? Still shows numbers close to 10 °C or less.

I mean is there an offset to be dealt in the sensor reading (like Coretemp was updated recently ) ?
