Hey team,
Anyone interested in my SS unit, Cascade unit, CPU Gemni pot, TEK9 6.66 Slim, or Fatboy pot?
Looking to clean out my collection since I'm not OCing.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ up on the test bench, took 4 hours to get it working, I had forgotten that my nforce 5 board has 2 bad memory slots, and that I had flashed a bios that only works with Phenom II CPUs. Installing my nLited XP right now

I always wanted a SS...don't have the money for one though.
How much for the TEK9 slim? O_o

Well, 5600+ hit 3.76 GHz on first attempt, with H70 rad in a soup bowl and about 8 ice cubes melting on the top of it. (Brought temps to 28c from 38-40c)
I'd imagine that my CPU is capable of 4 GHz+ assuming I don't have a super high coldbug.

To my understanding, not many K8 do 4 GHz+ unless your name is knopflerbruce so we will see how far I get with this.

I had major issues with Pi efficiency too, OS is fine (personal cut OS based off of TinyXP), ran same OS with 955 BE in 32M with good efficiency. My hard drives are just fubar, one being a Seagate 7200.10 250 that is full all but 30GB (has personal data/backups on it), the other being an Intel X25-V that barely outdoes my USB3 flash drives. I don't have the money for a spare disk.

Hi ALL

Now I have a new rig =)

Maximus Gene V
Core i7 3770K
ADATA XPG Gaming V2 2400 Mhz 4x4GB
ADATA SSD XPG SX900 128GB on RAID, using 8 SSD (128GB 9260CV-8i each SSD).
RAID Card LSI 9260CV-8i = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816118168

I have some troubles and I need your help (specially Steve xD)

1.- The RAID Card doesn´t work in the PCI-E 16X only in the PCI-E 4x but half of the card is out, check the picture, Do you think this affects the performance of the 8 SSD?







2.- I think the performance of the 8 SSD on RAID is very poor, check the test image, What do you think?






thanks guys

[SteveRo]

^^ i would think that might be a bit low yes.
I haven't played with LSI cards in years - your best answers will come if you post a new thread (include your happy snaps) - here -

Best of luck to you!!

Gah, I can't get ram to do 32M at 2133...tried vccsa up to 1.15v, tried vccio up to 1.175v.
After loop 1, I get NOT EXACT IN ROUND...CPU at 4.6 on stock cooler (1.3v), max temps mid 60c with 2 cores enabled HT off.
I couldn't find the top mounting bracket for my H70 so I'm stuck with this for now.

Hypers booted up past 2200 8-8-7 no problem too, but 2M up was instant freeze, 1M no problem.

You guys have any tips? I can barely POST at 1.65v 7-10-7 too...currently using 1.7v to be on the safe side.

vdimm for hypers(class b) must be over 1.8v but its not guaranteed to work with sp32m. better hypers can handle the throughput

increase the Voltage, if your memory have hypers chips you will need 1.8V =)

[BeepBeep2]

Tried up to 1.8v, best I got was init value...CL8/CL7 makes no difference, I guess.
Why my PSC can't do 2133 either, I am puzzled...I haven't finished a run of 32M yet. I have trouble getting the board to post even with PSC at 2133. and vccio at 1.2v.

Sorted out PSC. 6-10-6 works at 2133, albeit with 1.8v

[G.Foyle]

asdfsadfioutbh5.

Nah, I'm quite sure BH5 are not good for Sandy Bridge :P

[BeepBeep2]

What do you guys think?
http://hwbot.org/submission/2286792_...in_43sec_968ms

EDIT:
Alright, so my Hypers work at 1866+ 6-6-6-18, but that is a little slow My Hypers do not scale with tRCD = CAS +1 either so 6-7-6 is a no go near 2000 with more bclk.
My run was 6:46.625 with Hypers at 1866 with CPU @ 5 GHz but cas write latency was at 8.

EDIT 2:
Next run with hypers 1866 6-6-5-17 cas write latency 7 was 6:44.375 with maxmem + 512MB pagefile + waza, but still slower than 6:43:968 on PSC, which was done without waza

EDIT 3:
Either my OS is FUBAR/trash, or my tweaking skills are weaker than tinfoil...
2133 6-10-6-24 cas write latency = 7, came up with 6:45:187.

This is a far cry from the low-mid 6:30's I've seen at 5 GHz. I feel like trans am does in the Ivy 5G thread...

Also, Hypers are a no-go. My best two sticks that do 1866+ 6-6-5 won't budge even to the initial value in 32M, tried 7-7-6, 7-7-7, 8-8-7, 8-8-8 up to 1.86v.

[Hondacity]

which bios are you using? I think hyper degradation indication is sp32m becomes non-doable.

vccio?

newer bios for m4e has microcode for ivy bridge which some say introduced some latency.

I'm also doing m4e with some sandy.

[BeepBeep2]

BIOS 2050, I bought this board from Gunslinger and thats what was on it.
1866 6-6-5-17 is fine at 1.84v, but 2133 8-8-8 doesn't work, tried up to 1.86v. These are my best two sticks (out of my three), too. I don't have them labeled like I should have, but because of that, two of the sticks have significantly less use than the other...I've tried a combo of all three though.

At 7-7-6/7-7-7 the best I could do was 3 loops of 2M. I can finish 2M with 8-8-8 and 1.85v...but 32M is still instant freeze. I can do 7-7-6-19 in 32M on Bulldozer with 1.79v.

I've tried vccio up to 1.2v so far. I've also tried raising vccsa up to 1.175v with it to no avail.

I need way more vdimm with PSC than I thought I would too. On Bulldozer, my PSC run what they are specced to do, on Sandy, 2133 7-10-7 won't even post at 1.65v.

EDIT:
On ASUS's website, I see that on bios 2001, it is listed as "support next gen 22nm processor" so maybe this bios contains early Ivy microcode...I suppose I can flash to something else.

[Hondacity]

psc xmp works here. maybe that is bbse. bbse needs more vdim that psc

[BeepBeep2]

I know it's not BBSE because I can't run 6-9-6 for sh*t. 1.85v, 2133 6-9-6 doesn't post. These do 2060 6-9-6, 2500 7-11-7 on Bulldozer though...
My Hyper runs 1900+ 6-6-6-18 in 32M at 1.85v, just tested.

Efficiency is still in the toilet, I've tried 3 different bios now.

2133 8-8-8 boots at 1.61v...but SuperPi 2M won't pass over 2 loops , at 1.85v it passes 6-7 loops.

EDIT:
Black slots are the same. I did something magic in the bios I guess once because on the black slots I was able to complete 2M once. Can't remember exact settings but it failed 32M as soon as I clicked. I tried 99 bclk at DDR3-2111 too, 9-9-9-27, but it doesn't work either.

[Hondacity]

3203 so far is very bad. but better than msi z77 lol. switching cpu now....

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

@ Beep try lowering vccio to 1.08-1.1

you should be able to complete 32M easily with PSC at 2133 7-10-7-27 with less than 1.7v, something is not right unless your chip has a really poor IMC.

[BeepBeep2]

I did, recently. I was just pushing vccio because I was having such issue with Hypers...I think it's the IMC thats the problem with the Hypers, not the ram. I know it's a combination of both, but...this ram isn't bad at all. Been tweaking 01 a little, reinstalling stock large option TinyXP now to see if my OS was the issue with 32M efficiency.

Do you guys think 1900 CL6 has anything on 2133 7-10-7? I can run 2133 6-10-6 / 2220 7-10-7 with PSC though.

Update:
Nope. I can't even post at 1.7v 7-10-7. 1.75v won't run 32M either. I have the Pi 2133 7-10-7 1.65v...

EDIT:
Works at 1.775v. VCCIO @ 1.1v...
Efficiency is still sh*t, 6:43.500. Stock TinyXP with maxmem, olive theme, 512 pagefile and waza. Maybe it is my SSD but I don't have a hard drive to test with.

[BeepBeep2]

Okay, I can not muster any more than this...no idea what is wrong.

Stock full TinyXP, 512 pagefile, olive theme, 600 MB maxmem, 2GB CDT-IV waza, realtime priority/2nd core affinity.

[Hondacity]

exec bit disable?

I had the same results 6'42'ish, tweaking rams got 6 seconds off...

The Ivy "ME" code introduces 2-8seconds lag on Sandy 5Ghz Sp32m. If you get the older board with the older "ME" and the older bios, using the older bios with tweaked memory. You could do sub 6'36 with those settigns.

[BeepBeep2]

The second bios on this board is 1404 and it was the same efficiency...
Exec bit thing is enabled, just turned it off, will try again.

EDIT:
O_o okay, problem solved...6:35:750 with 2222 7-10-7-24 CWL = 7

Also ran 01 tonight, didn't do much tweaking, LOD = 3.1 all, run order change and 5150 MHz CPU / 2200 CL7 ram, HD 4850 @ 800 / 1110. Came up with 99145.

[Don_Dan]

Nice to see you working hard on your new setup Beep, don't waste too much time with the Hypers, if they don't work in 32M @ 2133 no tweaking will help. I'm really wondering why your PSC need that much voltage though... Weird.

Do you have some BBSE you could try?
