Foxconn BloodRage Benchmarks

Still think G25 has the edge over P09. I can run lower vtt on P09 but it runs out of go quicker and stops scaling. Its better for 24/7, but I'd still say G25 for hitting the max. GL dude .

You need a bit of memory tweaking there to get your super pi times down cobra. Have you got a 32m run for comparison? Its more reliable than 1m as a performance indicator. You should be under 8mins there, 7m50s or so.

msconfig > diagnostic mode and reboot to get a bit of a boost to your super pi times. 3dmark runs but you cant submit as no network capabilities. msconfig > normal startup and reboot to get back to normal.

I may try G25 again now that I am under phase. When I tried it before I had issues that I do not have with P09, but then I have other issues with P09.

Hey PiLsY,
I will run one when I get a few min on the comp. Between the shop and my other job I have had lil time to anything. What settings would you suggest different? The memory is Dominator GT DDR3 1600. Tried 6-6-6-18 before and blue screened. Did 7-7-7-18 but 18 changes to 16 cause of the bios bug. I haven't attempted anything past that. Thx for the heads up.

[PiLsY]

Try 7-7-6 and if that works shoot for 6-7-6. Dont think you'll manage to shake that TRCD 7 without going stupid on vtt or vddr, but thats where all your bandwidth comes from.

No chance of 2000 @ 9-9-9 or similar? You'll find that noticeably quicker than 1600 7-7-7, especially in superpi.

Ignore what bios says your timings are. Its reading the registers incorrectly. You should see in cpuz that despite what bios reckons you are actually at TRAS 16.

[CobraXP]

KK I will try it and let u know. Thx,

[CobraXP]

Ok this is my first one @ 7-7-6-18



2nd @ 6-7-6-18



3rd @ 6-7-6-18 4.3GHz



I attempted 9-9-9-20 and it would not boot

Thx

[PiLsY]

Notice in your last 6-7-6 screenie your vtt is too low mate - see how your everest bandwidth is lower than at 1600mhz? I find it hard to stabilise 204 - its easier from 207 upwards, some kind of chipset timing change perhaps? I find the same thing 195 to 199mhz as well. Try 203 same settings you should see higher numbers.

The no post @ 9-9-9-24 suggest your IMC doesnt like high ram speed with high cpu speed. Suggest 18x multi and turbo enabled to alleviate some stress from your IMC (no idea what this does or why it works but it does), see how that works out. Slightly reduces ram bandwidth, but nothing worth noting really.

If that doesn't work try going for the 20x multi and 210bclk?

Anyway, great results 6-7-6 dude

[CobraXP]

I think my vtt was 120. Should I try 180-200? I run it 24/7 at 4.2 but bench it @ 4.3 and 4.4. My new water block will be installed this weekend plus we have a cold front coming in 55f low (I live in South Florida 55F is freezing here compared to 90F) so I hope to get some new Vantage scores. Thx for the help, PiLsY. I will keep tweaking it.

[saaya]

pilsy, i dont think changing bclock adjusts any timings, but chipset timings probably get adjusted once your over a certain mem clock...
or do you have the same bclock thing no matter what mem multi you use?
im pretty sure its roundtrip latency that changes, its the only timing that has a big impact on bclocks afaik...
well and tras and trfc...

[PiLsY]

Only affects me on 10x ram - 1550 - 1650 is really easy for these sticks/imc. Its only at 10x or higher that things like that start to matter I've found. Its similar to hitting one of the old strap changes - also no matter what mem timings I use makes no odds, its just not stable. Annoyed as 24x197 @ 1970mhz 7-8-7-16-1T would be peachy for benching.

I thinkbringing the cold would make a HUGE difference in my case. That and a major 1000w psu. Im slowly making my way through johnnyguru - finding the right psu that is a reasonable price and obtainable is prooving harder than I thought.

I bet it gets cold in the UK. Cold, your rad and a psu might = 5.0GHz.... do it man do it.

[saaya]

afaik straps kinda do exist in i7s mrc code, but only based on mem speeds...
really a bummer theres no bios guru to help out here... cause the mem timings are all msr controlled and from what i was told, its the easiest way to implement...
you create a new option in bios with a menu of 5 options and then add what to write to which msr for what option of that menu...
basically all you need is the msr infos and those are even public afaik ie in intels white papers...

[Utnorris]

Here is my latest and max Vantage bench with the HD5870. CPU is at 4.6Ghz, GPU is at 1125/1298.



Oh so close to 21K I can taste it.

[saaya]

:o 1125 gpu? air?

[Utnorris]

No it's an EK water block. LOL!

[CobraXP]

nice UTnorris

[saaya]

oh ok... heh... still nice though...
but it wont go above 1125? hows vgpu scaling?

Very nice . I'll get my new Bloodrage within the next two weeks and would be happy by reaching 215 to 220 on water. Can you tell about voltages and other important settings to make that happen ? Which bios version do you have installed ?

Btw, Mushkin 998727 (3x2GB) Redline XP3-15000 and a 920 D0 are ordered as well.

[Utnorris]

P09 for this, keep in mind I did the PCIe mod. Voltage was 1.44v Vcore and VTT, but I am under phase and 920's like the cold. I also raised the IOH 1.1 voltage to 1.20v and the ICH 1.1 voltage to 1.25v.

[PiLsY]

Do you mean IOH vcca @ 1.25v dude? If so is that safe? It goes red really quickly but gives you plenty of volts to add. Not sure what it does so i've not had it past 1.134v yet. Tempting me to try something new now .

[Utnorris]

When the EVGA boards first came out, part of their overclocking guide stated to put those voltages around that number, which is why I have done it. I do not think you need it until you start to go above 220BCLK.

[PiLsY]

Right then! Update tomorrow if it helps me, back in 20 mins if not .

Cheers dude!

[PiLsY]

Its definitely helped. Think my SLI is pushing the nb harder and i'm needing things like the pcie mod and extra voltage a bit sooner than with a single card.
