32m SPi Low Clock Challenge

[dinos22]

just benching the 920 chip at 4.6GHz
i'm 3 seconds shy of sub 8m category
that is scary indeed

[ToyTen]

3600......ToyTen...............11.51.875.....6x600 .....960mhz.....7-6-5-16....5/8...X48



WinXP Pro Sp3 made with nLite, installed on a WD 320 partitionned and lots of tweaks including a home made CW. I still have to install this new OS on a Raptor(16Mo) and hope it will improve the score

[dinos22]

here is one for the new 7.xx category and Nehalem

4644......dinos22...............7.59.234..... 21x221 .....885mhz.....7-7-7-20-1T.......X58

[TheKarmakazi]

nice run dinos! good ram speed/timings for 920 dividers

[George_o/c]

Toyten you have to lower a bit your cpu clocks, so that you climb up in 11.xx category
Dinos, great run man 920 @ 4650MHz on Single Stage benching SPi 32M is What's the max frequency this 920 can reach ? Max 1M ?

[ToyTen]

@George_o/c:

I just.. do not know how to stabilise the computer with thoses settings(I tried 3 days ago the last time ...) no go for me on a P5E3 nor a RE...
Can't get to know why me ??(hoping I still can find howto )

[George_o/c]

You need to mess with REX for a lot of time, so that you get to reveal the beast inside her
Start with some guides on various internet sites (overclock.net, overclockers.co.uk off the top of my mind), and the most important for SPi 32M ... Play with various BIOSes

Forget all about P5E3, and mostly focus on REX for fast SPi 32M runs My gosh, I've told you before but can't resist, your ram kit is superb !

one more BIOS to test I think at this point: 0401. only got her 5 days ago and working/living a normal guy's live so time misses as you know.
I got 10Mhz fsb, from 620PL9(P5E3) to 630 PL9 using the REX on 32M (0501):


NB and CPU water cooled ambient like 20°C NB was at 38°C (reading LCD poster)

I still can find out because I have so many things to discover about HDD, OS, timing in execution of the bench its steps, ...

I'll look for those sites you propose thx. I never went there atm

And this DDR3 is comfortable I know, but are they that bad no idea i tell you

[George_o/c]

Belive me your ram kit is pretty damn' special A lot of guys wish to have one like that one (including me )

[dinos22]

Dinos, great run man 920 @ 4650MHz on Single Stage benching SPi 32M is What's the max frequency this 920 can reach ? Max 1M ?

this is a QPI limit every board has
its not the CPU limit

[George_o/c]

LOL, I need to get some sleep dinos Well, it's good that you can run with such a QPI clock SPi 32M
Well, what's the max benchable frequency for 1M, and what's the max of this cpu with higher multi - lower QPI clocks ?

I've seen two great 920s ... yours and Criminal's

i am on the highest possible multi basically
i am at a QPI wall which i cannot bypass as intel does not provide dividers lower than 18x(X36 in GB bios)

You have no idea, thats an awesome ram kit Such tight subtimings

[Brian y.]

A little 4GHz 32M action with i7

Sub 9m

[ToyTen]

Well, I don't know the chips of it tbh. They behave very similar to 14400 D9GTR (Cell Shock too), but with more OCeability

I know a few happy guys more lucky with better one crazy D9GTS/T or ??

Some times I need over 2,26vDDR (well cooled be sure of that ) and never got over 2,30 atm... I don't dare with air cooling on it.

My CSX Diablo 2000Mhz kit can hit similar clocks 7-6-6-15/18 1T, but your subtimings particularly tWTR & tRTP are very nice.

also GTR chips on CSX. And how far did you went about Voltages, if I may ask ?

[TheKarmakazi]

Yes they are GTR. I never went over 2.11v (too scared to lose them), which is probably why you can run such tight timings. I love the 5:8 strap on this mobo for CL7 clocks. What NB voltage are you running?

My cell's don't run hot at all, as for the verylittle consolation it brings

1.84vNB, 620 PL8 on the test at the moment.

Edit: it passed !! woopah ^^

Very nice lets see

[ToyTen]

Very nice lets see

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

[George_o/c]

Wow, PL 8 at 620MHz FSB ! Great

[ToyTen]

Thx, I just received a particular setting to apply and it went ok this time

[Harshal]

Dino, Nice run! Good CPU!!
ToyTen... awesome RAM and board

[dinos22]

i think we will see sub 8 minute below 4.5GHz once the RAM clocks are right and all subtimings are tweaked fully
