32m SPi Low Clock Challenge

Can't you do sub12 with lower clocks ??

[Ozzfest05]

32m is sooo much better on I7 its ridiculous

[Deanzo]

Sill running dual channel

Best I can do for sub 9 (well for know anyhow)
8m 59s 531ms i7 940 3983Mhz Dual Channel 8-6-6-21 1038Mhz DDR3

[Deanzo]

As it turns out I can do better.

8m 59s 750ms i7 940 3939Mhz Dual Channel 8-6-6-19 1027Mhz DDR3


Fun game you guys have got going on here.

Another update for 9 minutes time zone:

[miahallen]

Any good I guess we won't know until some more get posted up

[Benji Tshi]

I think it could be done with lower clocks, but as i never try it, i can't be sure of anything...

[miahallen]

Yeah, based on the other brackets comparing the best Penryn to i7 runs...looks like if I got some better memory speed/timings, I should be able to it at around 3100MHz...

[Benji Tshi]

Memory is not so bad, 960 C7 is funny. My i7 don't even want to hear about C7

Try to work on timings, and find a better ratio bclk/uclk/ram
I'll try sub 11 with you to see how it goes, because sub 8 is impossible for me with stock cooling

3896......Benji Tshi..............8.59.765......28x139......974mhz .....8-7-6-18....2/14...X58



I think i can do better with another ratio bclk/ram

My fuc*ing i7 don't want 4.5Ghz
Can't even try sub8...

[cheapseats]

4469.9......cheapseats..........9.59.954...7.5x596 .....954mhz.....7-7-7-14....5/8...X48


Nice runs Zeus - wish i had so much time to spare in 9.xx

I think this is about the last point that i can sneak in ahead of you - and maybe not for long.....


(maxmem 600 / LSC / Page file off / svchost closed (lost XP theme) /
1 HDD / 2 partition / Spi 'C' / Empty 'D' / Realtime / Core 1 / SpiTweaker as shown )

seem to be less stable with maxmem over 600 and/or paging on, so stayed with 600 and page file off.
managed some slightly better sub-timings though, which was just enough

[Zeus]

Very nice job cheapseats, first you can't get below 10 minutes and now you're kicking my @ss.

I will give 9.xx minutes another shot soon.

[Zeus]

Hey cheap, couldn't let this happen off course...

[mrcape]

[mrcape]

Haha now I see I should have done better, these recent scores aren't in the list. Nice scores Zeus and Cheapseats. I will be back!

[cheapseats]

Hey cheap, couldn't let this happen off course...

You got me this time for sure Zeus ...... i'm too slow for 595. Hope you can go lower though.

Haha now I see I should have done better, these recent scores aren't in the list. Nice scores Zeus and Cheapseats. I will be back!

mrcape, 4469.9 v 4470mhz ! thanks for not kicking a man when he's down

[mrcape]

Heh, it's a fun little challenge.

I need to tighten my sub-timings esp. trfc. Not sure how you guys can do this on 403 bios, I had a hell of a time with that one. My sticks are D9gts are you guys using gts or gtr?

[Zeus]

Just keep trying cheap, everytime i thought i couldn't get it better i managed to shave off a little.
As long as i haven't taken over topspot i know it should be possible to get a better result although it might take some very good ram.

Seeing i almost got a second to spare, with a better balanced copywaza i'm sure i can go down another MHz for FSB.

Tried tras 15 but it errored, like Write to Precharged Delayed anything lower than 17 gives an error.
Maybe more voltage will solve this but at 2.21V i'm a little reluctant to try really.

Mr Cape, seems like we were running 32M simultaneous this morning without knowing, lol.
Great run!

[George_o/c]

Wow, I don't have so much time lately and on top of that experiencing some wild () internet problems but I gotta say, lot's of great scores guys !

Keep up the good work

//EDIT Toyten, you got a PM man, regarding that nice nLited setup

OMG, mrcape, that's frikkin fast man!

[cheapseats]

awesome new runs and timings mrcape - roughly how much of the extra speed came from the timings, compared to your 4470mhz run ?

BTW my CS kit is JNL, so my timings won't get much better, I can just about do tRFC 64 at 950mhz but really nothing else will go any lower.


Zeus, appreciate the encouraging words m8 . plan is to start again with my OS and work through from scratch with the CW etc.
Memory is failing too many runs at 950mhz to be able to test for better/worse 'technique' or settings, so 10.xx timezone will be more reliable.

[mrcape]

Thanks guys, it was fun.

Cheapseats, yes, ALL of the extra speed came from the Gskill HZ GTS and it's ability to run fast at tighter timings. Tweaks didn't change at all. I used the Ballistix BL2KIT12864BE2009 kit for the 4470 run. When that hit a wall I popped in the HZs and that was that. It allowed me to go much tighter with trfc.

All I could do at this point is use a thin OS and reg tweaks.

[yup]

Has anyone try Adata G 1333 yet? I think it's a good memory
