wow almost 900MHz 6-5-5-x from those Cellshocks
nice RAM man
what vdimm was that on?

~2.29V.
Guess what... they can do more than 900MHz 6-5-5-x SuperPi 32M & Memtest Error-Free ( 50 loops test #5 ).
Unfortunately the CPU is a dud for DI/LN2...
I had to settle down on clocks...

3oh6 m8, you've some errors in the lists.

thanks for the heads up and leg work...will edit those with my next update in a bit.

so for those hating on the 790i because some guys have been posting results without P1/P2 enabled, let the hating stop, 790i is officially as fast in SPi (32M at least and really, thats all that counts )...it might not be as fast at the exact same settings, but, the memory clocking abilities put it ahead of P35/X38. i will be getting my X48 board in a week or so but i don't anticipate the memory clocking skill of the 790i.

here is the proof...now it doesn't register for anything, and it was a bit of a kick in the balls, but compare it to my 10.XX category leading frequency and you can see this setup is right there. BTW, i will have it in the 10.xx category at this frequency if it means not sleeping tonight...

E8400 (L746A381) 7.5 x 531 (boot at 513)
Thermalright Ultra-120 (CPU cooling)
EVGA 790i (vDROOP mod)
Corsair Dominator PC3-14400 (non-XMP)
HIS HD3870X2 (drivers not installed)
Seagate 7200.9 80GB SATA2 (10GB partition for OS/programs/page file)
ERAM v2.11 (simply for copying the CW to)
Silverstone Zeus ST56ZF 560W
WinXP Pro SP2 (custom nLite'nd job)

now, the X48 i have on its way (P5E3-Premium) might be able to match this 531x7.5 1:2 at a nice tight PL, but my best P5K3-Dlx or Maximus Extreme sure as hell couldn't.

ho ho ho ho ho
what did i tell ya mate

wait till you get a kit of RAM than can handle tighter tRFC

that's a great time mate
really great

fingers crossed this new kit i'm getting will do some decent 7-6-x-x timings past 2GHz

thanks buddy and yes you were absolutely correct, thanks for your thread convincing me of taking a chance on this board. it will be doing what it was meant to do in a short while (mmm 3D benching) but it also holds its own in 32M SPi.

also, this kit will absolutely not do <65 tRFC at this frequency...at 1050MHz i got it to run 64 tRFC but 63 was a no-go. my other kit of Dominator 14400s didn't like tight tRFC in the Maximus Extreme either so i don't have high hopes for them on the 790i. my G.Skills were a bit better so if they clock like these Dom sticks then the G.Skills should pull this time down a bit more. speaking of which, before i could even finish my last post, the deed was done. 790i owns one of the top spots in the 32M challenge

i can run my corsair kit down to 54 tRFC
guess it all depends on the board and kits

i've seen a few people benchmark 7-7-7-x or 7-6-x-x- on 790i at 2GHz which is encouraging.............

i reckon it's just going to need some more bios tweakin by engineers but once CAS7 and CAS6 clocks get up to speed Superpi times will tumble even more....you would definitely beat your old score in this category with CAS7 imo

must be that special hand picked ES board you got

yeah, 2000MHz at CL7 will be interesting to see on the 790i. as it stands, 500*8 1:2 8-7-6 is a few seconds slower on 790i than P35 at the same with tRD6 and even a few more yet than X38 at 500*8 1:2 7-7-6 tRD6. so clock for clock it isn't as fast, unless maybe with some nice 54 tRFC (thats jealousy talking).

but...where it will pull ahead is at high FSB where we are limited to pretty much a single ratio like P35/X38/X48. the ability to tune memory clocks a bit better at 550FSB+ should give it the advantage there...hopefully.

hahah ........ bastard j/k

hehe, did you even catch my low blow in that 790i OC Report over at the 'other' place? If not, check the bottom of the specs post all referencing the discussion that went on over here about your 790i board.

alright before you post a hlaf dozen other scores ...please start including the memory tab, motherboard tab, and if at all possible the SPD tab. it helps identify your components and helps others out. thanks guy, and damn...hardest working guy in this thread, nice work

i will update sometime after 5pm tomorrow...last final that i have to think for should be done then

^^ And disable SpeedStep as well

who the what now? SpeedStep isn't on, he's benching at that multi.
