32m Low Clock Challenge

[Zeus]

I've been working my fingers to the bone lately to get sub 13 minutes.

Running async finally got me somewhere but the CPU frequency is way too high for my taste.

I was expecting to hit this mark at around ~3730MHz.

Looking at k|ngp|n's result my jaw dropped to the floor.

Here's my attempt at sub 13 min. with my i975 board:



I will try some more but i think i'm gonna need 3-3-3 for better results.

if you had RAM running at 600MHz 4-4-4-x (which is almost impossible on 975x) you could probably be somewhere in 3.6+GHz range....RAM has a lot to do with that run but he has put all those tweaks better than anyone else pretty much.....good on ya Vince you showed us how it gets done

Yeah, go back to 3DMark would ya k|ngp|n



Just kidding

Top stuff, sub 13mins @3.6Ghz is freakin insane

haha...thx man. I'll go back as soon as I am done testing some b2 chips for the "one". Until then, you guys are stuck with me .

Sub 14 minutes:

Looks like I've got some learning to do Too bad I killed the mobo after 2 days ......On air ~1.54Vcore IIRC (It was a couple weeks ago).......

493x7, Allendale again (hmm... all multipliers used for different "Time Zones", not sure what to do next - sub-13M with x8 will not be that good...)
13m58.203s
I really must find some space to do Copy Waza...

How the hell did you manage that eek

[JMKS]

1066 strap as usual, nothing else. Really, OS is not fully optimized (clean registry - don't know how to do it properly..., and w/o Copy Waza).

your time is REALLY good....almost too good to be true according to your description

what is that icon on desktop OPB_Cleane...

[JMKS]

OPB_Cleane...

r.bat, also nothing special, batch cleaning some "Recent documents" links, temp files etc.
The strap is very powerful, quick tests (by me ) showed that 422x8 @ 1333 is slower in SPi than 400x8 @ 1066.
I'm not sure how it works on QuadGT, but for me (Commando, NB @ 2,025V) it was impossible (with ambient temp <0&#176;C etc) to reach (on 1066) 510 1M... 505 16M (over 13s better than P5B-Dlx FSB 510 @ 1333) and 508 1M (0.250s better than 514,6 FSB on P5B-Dlx @ 1333) max so far (and spring is coming, so no hope to improve FSB).
And yes, I know that time is good - I'm trying not to post bad ones . But bachus seems untouchable, 2:3 and 4MB cache is working good.

[dinos22]

i know about the strap performance hence why i say your time is crazy good even at 1066 strap........have you got a 4MB cache CPU you can bench as well with those settings.....it would be interesting to know how you would go.........judging by that time i would say it would be close to KPs time even with slower memory....surely you must have some other tweaks you aren't tell us

[dinos22]

i did some thinking today (in know how scary )



@JMKS if you are telling those are your tweaks i honestly don't know how to put this but to say that you are using a cheat of some sort as there is no chance you can do that at normal tweaks........someone (including yourself) please prove me wrong





Actually i just cannot see how you could beat everyone with "Not so optimised OS" and "no registry tweaks and no copy wazza"......TO BE PERFECTLY clear here i don't think with a perfectly tweaked OS and registry tweaks you could achieve that with those settings

[coop]

I would like to know how to be able to run that good of a time at that speed as well. I'm working at it and can't come close even with a couple tweaks.

dinos not hard to do sub 14min under 3.5ghz



but for E6400 2MB with 493FSB 1:1 seems a bit weird unless he's got vMCH modded and clockgen'd his way from 400FSB to 493FSB.

what board JMKS ?

YES not hard on E6600 as BA demonstrated doing it sub 3.4GHz

BUT BAs RAM was very high at tight latency and in 1066 strap

JMKS is using Commando but i just don't see how it is possible man

[coop]

ok getting better..

[dinos22]

3390MHz is what you should be aiming for. BA doesn't make it easy does he heheh.........i think Vince has it covered if he decides to give it a crack

Ummm, I think you're forgetting that the amount of l2 cache isn't very important in 32m....you'll see the difference most @ 1m

[dinos22]

you probably haven't done much benching with 4MB and 2MB cache CPUs if you think that

[eva2000]

nope HUUUUUUUUGE diff for core2 4MB vs 2MB for 32M

[dinos22]

nope HUUUUUUUUGE diff for core2 4MB vs 2MB for 32M

LOL to put it bluntly

[hipro5]

Hmmmm......where can I find this "OPB_Cleane..." proggie?......It seems that it gives a GOOD boost.....

[s7e9h3n]

nope HUUUUUUUUGE diff for core2 4MB vs 2MB for 32M

Oh really? Then please explain the 14.xx results to me...I believe you used a 4mb cpu in that bench as well....

[dinos22]

heheheheh
