32m SPi Low Clock Challenge

[TheKarmakazi]

Excellent run toyten I think you can get sub 10 with a little more FSB + mem tweaks.

[Dsjjang]

there you go. but as it was only a test, I didn't tweaked my mem's

Your MB is really good, bro~

[ToyTen]

Your MB is really good, bro~

Thank you Dsjjang

As I try pushing furtherer, I only got this targetting Time Zone 7:



'need another coef and another cooling on this quest I guess

[George_o/c]

Nice run man Well, you'll need about 5900MHz for 7m59sec

[dinos22]

Nice run man Well, you'll need about 5900MHz for 7m59sec

nah man less than that

[George_o/c]

nah man less than that

Aight , 5850MHz then ... maybe even less ... I wasn't being realistic before

[dinos22]

try less

[George_o/c]

5800MHz, and that's my last offer

[ToyTen]

ok guys i'll try from 5700Mhz going up til I pass under 8min.

I could do almost 2sec less at the same cpu frequency(from previous post).



I will try 600x9,5 ram 5:8 7-6-5-15 upping the fsb and probably relaxing the timings if I have to.

[George_o/c]

You are on singlestage on that runs ?

[ToyTen]

yep

[ToyTen]

3oh6, if you read this I try to reach your score at the same cpu clock: 10mn00s791 for the "9" Time Zone, and can't seem to defeat it... loll

a little help to acheive this might be helpfull

Is it the perf mode of appearence of windows that gave you the thing ? Or setting some thing different than 600 but close from it for the maxmem ?

btw, did you tested the 0401 BIOS ? I guess you "might" be on i7 already

[George_o/c]

Jody is on 790FX now I think

[ToyTen]

Ok.

Ah, yes Georges, I wanted to know why yo asked if i was under single stage? thx

[George_o/c]

No particular reason, just wanted to see if you are on single stage or dry ice

[ToyTen]

Okay

Maybe this week end I will put the auto-cascade again for Super Pi 32M, wish I can acheive a Time Zone 7 if that wasto be created meanwhile...

[ToyTen]

Ok, I got this, trying to get the pole for 2 days now I got a good feeling of competition

Couldn't get that Time Zone with less fsb, Ram timings are tightend as can be

4432.7......ToyTen..............9.59.734.....7.5x5 91 .....945.7mhz.....7-6-5-15....5/8...X48

sorry guy, haven't had much time at all to dip into the forums...i just really wish e-mail notification on this thread would work, then i would know when there are posts.

when it comes down to hundreds of a second in 32M, it could be anything. 32M isn't something that if you run on two setups with the same setting will provide the same results. the OS plays such a huge role in results. there are specific tweaks but even those will produce different results based on the 'tweakedness' (yeah i just made that up) of the OS. for my sub 10min run, i used 680 Maxmem (it is given away in my module size in CPU-Z Memory tab).

i believe the key to that run though was my CW, it was a newer version of my process that i was playing with and got a few tenths that way. as for 0401, i tried it with another time slot but wasn't able to get any quicker results. it might be dependent on the settings being ran where it shows up faster

Jody is on 790FX now I think

790GX & i7 & RE still &...790i again soon, but i need a good E8600!!! anyone got one for sale?

[ToyTen]

Thank you for disponibility as i don't expect one to answer faster than what you did.

Thank you also for explaining that way the "howto" acheive thoses scores, I'm deeply grateful to for this thread and advices you provide to the community as I hope my posts do show.

About the Maxmem, i did try the 680 and a nlight'end XP Pro sp3 as you. My os(my first) weight about 167Mo on CDRom and is only made for Super Pi. I did a good one I think, but lets say, there might be too much things removed, I don't know really...

You did not used the olive green theme for that score didn't you ? any tip on resolution (if that mattered) for the bench itself ?

Thanx, good luck for upcoming benches and take care

[3oh6]

no problem, glad you appreciate the information. this thread is pretty much just a 32M SPi tweaking thread with a results list to go along with it, many guys have helped this thread provide information so that is why i kept it going from Coop's original great thread.

yeah i run olive green Luna theme for benching then switch to classic to save a little bit of screenshot size. as for resolution, i keep it at 1680x1050. at times i have benched with no drivers so sometimes resolution is at 1280x1024 but i honestly don't have the testing done whether or not GPU drivers installed/not installed helps. i know installing ATI drivers slows things down because of the amount of memory they eat, not sure about NVIDIA drivers though.

i don't need luck, but i'll take it...i need 34 hour days

I thought resolution of our screen didn't influence the score, maybe is that because I also do not use no graphic driver to that kind of benches. good confirmation for me so.

bye

[George_o/c]

I also run SPi with no VGA drivers installed Not any particular reason, I just remember of reading that in one of hipro's posts (no VGA drivers installed) so I gave it a try, and I was faster than my SPi runs with ATi drivers Minutes after that incident, I learned that ATi drivers really "destroy" SPi calculation time ...
As for nVidia drivers, I know that some guys have them installed but a bit chopped, instead of completely un-installed Anyway, I need it test more thoroughly so that I can come to a 100% right conclusion

Olive Luna theme works for me great for SPi 32M, but not that great for 1M ... With my SPi benching OS (85MB XP+SP2 - that's my full stable one, 'cause all the others I have that are even lighter, for example one in 75MB do not work that well ), the best theme for 1M is Silver Luna

Jody we appreciate all the information provided, keep them coming mate

Oh, almost forgot, ToyTen check your PMs

[ToyTen]

thx George, got it.

I hope you own oneof these REx, there is a goodie in your MP, that i actually use myself at the moment

bye

[hipro5]

You're doing well ToyTen....

Yes NO VGA drivers for me either....PCI VGA OR BEST a bit older PCI-E VGA with Windows' default VGA drivers for it.....

I tried the sub 4000MHz yesterday when I was warming up my CPU after an LN2 benching session I had, and I was doing 658MHz FSB x 6 = 3950MHz with rams 2:3 = 987MHz......
It was dumn FAST and without any CopyWaza thing.....Just flat run.....
I'll re bench it though cuz I quit it due to start reaching ++ temperatures on my CPU....

Thank you hipro5, but unno, don't speed up this bench soo much


658 fsb... So the inerty(?) of LN² wasn't enought to keep cpu at reasonable t°C till the end of the 32M ? dommage, it would have been quiet interesting in many ways.

I'm actually testing a 2K8 server "Standart", I'm completely lost in it's services/processes anyway I like it, hope to see your result soon
