32m SPi Low Clock Challenge

[3oh6]

Jody you are soooooooooooo close to that illusive 5GHz mark for sub 9m run

now are you going to make me call you Dinos22...or is Dino/Dinos good. come on, what the hell is your name anyway?

i managed sub 5GHz/sub 10min with 65nm but sub 5GHz/sub 9min is going to be much tougher. i'm not sure where i am going to get that 40MHz from. this 790i at this timing set is faster than the only reasonable higher FSB setup. i just don't see this 790i getting anymore that this...aside from a couple MHz for tighter secondary timings

my name is Dino


yeah it looks like you've squeezed it all out

the only other thing i could think off is getting that tRFC lower and also going for 8.5x higher FSB with P1/P2 but that may be impossible unless subzero coolin on NB can help

you've done really great
in fact some of your times are making me depressed considering how far behind i am on Intel platform atm.... lol

i have finally gotten around to do some Ghost images of a bench system so that i could potentially recover back in 10 minutes if required

i also have a dead hard drive which may have been cause by 790i...i cannot install an OS on it any more

alright, Dino it is

thanks for the comments...squeezing this 790i has all but consumed me these past few weeks but i think i am getting to its ultimate limits. time to up the CPU multi and take these results to the next level.

and damn...never thought of that for whatever reason. 8.5x588 is exactly 5GHz...and guess what my max 32M benching FSB is right now? that's right, 588MHz. i can run 588FSB with memory at 1102MHz...but i don't think that will get me sub 10min to be honest. i just just shut the rig down for the night but tomorrow i will give it a go with the G.Skills so i can run a tRFC of 58 at 1102MHz.

it is good to hear you have finally come around with an imaging setup, but damn, i don't want to hear you having issues with hard drives. as i said in the Ballistix OC Report...i haven't had to re-image in weeks. even with pushing these G.Skills and the Ballistix. i really think i have a good handle on this board. either that or i have beat it into submission

[3oh6]

now...i am sooooooo close to sub 9min sub 5GHz

click for full size...


thanks for smacking me in the head and waking me up to the whole 8.5X multi. i can't believe i didn't think of that seeing as it equates to exactly 5GHz. i honestly didn't think it would be this close but it is almost worth fighting with for a few hours to see what i can't come up with. the only problem is that my SPi process is about as good as i am going to get it...i think. lord knows i have spent a lot of time on my process/OS. although i haven't really done a lot of changes to my CW since going 45nm...perhaps there are a couple seconds to gain there, but 3 and a half is going to be pretty tough at this point.

BTW, you do realize i have dropped 35 seconds going from 8.5X to 9X??? i hope your thinking what i am thinking about an E8500 and a certain world record

[eva2000]

Awesome stuff Jody.. ya need a new 120MB/s SSD OS drive

[3oh6]

gosh George, i don't know...that is an awfully generous offer of a donation, but i don't think i can accept

thanks buddy...i love love love this motherboard.

[LyP0]

hmm it seems the 790i can supply a decent fsb. just wondering wich is the king..... 790i or 965c2 ( just for fsb )

anyways.... soo close, hope you can manage to sqeeuze a litte more out of it

[3oh6]

965C2 is still FSB king without question. my board is completely tapped at 590FSB right now with high volts and ambient cooled water. not many others have gotten this high or gone higher. but the difference in performance at this FSB VS 965C2 in SPi isn't going to be close

[LyP0]

nice thnx for the info. thinking about getting a 790i

[3oh6]

nice thnx for the info. thinking about getting a 790i

just do your research as to what you are getting into...it is a very fine tightrope with that board and a lot of people have nothing but problems.

Thanks Dumay

Fafs, if only I have those monster mems than can do 600+ @ 4-4-4-4, this could have been faster.... ^_^

@jcmarfilph: nice run fafs!

3rd lowest FSB sub 10min 32M entry

[BenchZowner]

Just a quick run to verify my RAM's overclocking ok on this board

I can easily get it under 11m at the same settings.
Will do...next week

[dinos22]

lol nice to see 4xCPUz windows there

[BenchZowner]

oh f***
LOL
Congrats Bill

New P5K3 Deluxe, the classic DDR3-1800 CellShock 2GB Kit D9GTR and teh silly bananeh ( aka QX9650 )

[M.Beier]

Nice move with the CPU-Z Bill
Apart from that, can you go higher with more vdimm?
I'd imagine 925mhz to be no problemo for you if you crank up the voltage a little...

This sunday, along with Oliver, I will try 1ghz 32M those latencies 4ghz sharp
Oh and 3950mhz as well, the 10.xxx entry needs to be made as well
- Initial Blackops preparation, for the 01SE/03/05/06 single card the following weekend... - Gotta make a fine little excel file with vdimm/vmch/freq/timings - so that it'll only be QX9650 concern the following week.

[BenchZowner]

Yeah, they can do higher even at the same voltage.
I was just testing the exact timings I had from a previous test.
I'll test them again probably later on at higher freq & maybe some tighter timings

Good luck in your benches.
I'll be benching single-card as well this weekend ( in blind however, no temp sensors here ) but with a "real" single-card ( 9800GTX coldbug edition )

Almost got ya for now, BZ Can I post a "warm-up" for 10:xx category, please? No copy-waza or maxmem yet.

Just some whimsy 9-9-9 action

[BenchZowner]

I'm not gonna let this happen
[ benches again soon...actually the computer will... I will be taking a bath ]

11m 59.344s @ 3620.9



Not so bad entry for such FSB, i think

Hipro5 seems too far
