32m SPi Low Clock Challenge

**3oh6** · 11-27-2007, 09:55 AM

Welcome to the 32M Low Clock Challenge! This was Coop's incarnation, I am simply carrying on the tradition of this great little thread.

The Rankings:

Intel Core 2 Rankings

AMD Rankings

The Rules:
1/ Super Pi Mod v1.5
SPi Mod v1.5 found here...thanks to XS!

2/ Screenshot with CPU-Z tabs CPU & MEM open...others are encouraged though
CPU-Z found here...thanks to Franck!

3/ Included in the screenshot should also be Memset or CPU Tweaker
Memset found here...thanks to Felix!

4/ We go by the honor system ladies and gentlemen...if your score is out of line for your specs, the torches will be lit and you will burn

Honor found here...thanks to MW!

Requests:
1/ Please only post one score per forum post...makes it easier for updating

2/ DO NOT use links to ImageShack with thumbnails...i will not go to that site, your score will not get added. full size images embedded in the post only please.

FAQ:
Q: What is the 32M Low Clock Challenge?
A: The 32M LCC is a competition to try and get the lowest CPU clock frequency for specific time zones.

Q: What isn't the 32M Low Clock Challenge?
A: The 32M LCC is not a thread for posting your best 32M SPi time, unless of course it happens to be just creeping into one of the time zones.

Q: What are the time zones?
A: The time zones are basically the minute marker but for each zone, it is the absolute highest time without venturing into the next time zone. For example: the 12.XX time zone is for 32M results in-between 12m 00.000 and 12m 59.999. So the ultimate goal would be your lowest CPU clock frequency required to run 12m 59.999 or as close as you can get to it without going into the 13.XX time zone.

Q: Why would I want to waste my time doing this?
A: If you are asking this question then you are wasting time that could be spent optimizing your 32M SPi times to get you higher up the list at various time zones...now get to work!

now I've found the right tread..

**hadji_a** · 12-10-2007, 07:39 AM

initial testing with ddr3 @ 3600 for a quick compare.

**sobih25** · 01-01-2008, 06:08 AM

kielbasa squad brings two scores of pmp's 45nm babe - 500fsb watercooled stable

. we'll be back with better ddr3 soon.

9.xx

10.xx

**3oh6** · 01-01-2008, 03:59 PM

very nicely done lads...500FSB water cooled for that CPU is rather impressive. it certainly helped put a beat down on those two time blocks

**toddm27** · 01-01-2008, 04:48 PM

dry ice run for a sub 10 with ddr3, didn't try lower

**dinos22** · 01-01-2008, 04:52 PM

lol didn't realise there was a new one

this is awesome

btw Jodi should we have separate entries for Yorkfield as it makes no sense when you compare results

i'm not going to bother putting times up unless they are within 10-15 seconds of the time block. it kind of defeats the purpose of this thread. so bring the clocks down to around 4500MHz and have at it

hehe, yeah, it was driving me nuts that we didn't have an updated 32M low clock so i said the hell with it and took over myself. oh, and spell my name with an i again and i will come down there and cut your toes off

yes, i have been putting Yorkfield scores in orange to keep them separate. when there are a bunch of scores i might break them up but i think the two separate colors should work nicely. so get that P5E3 of yours cooking with the 45nm and put some more orange times up there.

**dinos22** · 01-01-2008, 06:46 PM

SOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYY about the name stuff up Jodi (j/k

)

i noticed bachus is running a 0503 bios for same board and he is able to run 1T and AI Clock Twister - [Strong];
AI Transaction Booster - [Enabled 3] so it's pretty important for me too to get those to improve on superpi

0903 doesn't let me go beyond 1 or 2 in booster and middle setting for twister and 2T

i did a non maxmem run and it did 13m flat 3.6Ghz which is ok but not great

it was on 200 strap as well but i haven't tested others so not sure if it is faster or not (starting Pi times seemed to improve) heh

one thing my mobo won't let me is to tighten the PL.....seems unusually high compared to some

which hurts performance too even though i've had a swiftech copper heatsink and fan hammering the NB with 1.25-1.7v

George; may I ask you for the voltages you are used to set? I can't get that PL to 6...

IIRC vdimm = 2.04v and NB = 1.7v

Thx mate. Looks like I won't be able to set it that low. 7 is the lowest for me.

BTW... after figuring out the Vmch mod, I'm able to use strap 200 and PL6 isn't required...

I wouldnt go with that info especially the initial value cos it could be the direct opposite... With same settings my faster times have higher initial value than my slower times....

yeah i've studied your runs and you have the slowest start i've ever seen

i remember in AMD days start meant nothing
i only looked at the difference between loop 1, 2, 3, 4 and would know how well or bad the run would be
