Okay then, fair is fair and you´re right.

Here´s one without errors, unfortunately it does not obey to your 200mb rule as it was ran before you came up with that rule.

That's fine! Nice one! the problem is that when it have errors it can lead to some weird results

Since this was meant to be a max score challenge, the 200mb thing is a little iffy, but errors aren't good...

Anyway, I haven't given up on this yet (yes, I'm pretty bored).

I've actually been playing with this since the original post...
I swapped my mem out for higher freq and looser timings but after alot of work I can't get anywhere near my initial results with this settup.

Here's what I got with the 2133 RipJaw-X (@ 2300) after alot of testing. Looks like your right Zeus, timings are more important on this bench!




I tried upgrading(?) to beta3, but performance actually dropped...

For those who tried it too, and lost the B2 version, I found it here:

WinRAR is software I actually use, and never had any problems with B2...

holly sh*t with 10 000kb/s looks very hard to get it...Maybe windows 32-bit will be better?

Haha, come on now you pussies! This is s`pose to be a challenge, give it hell!

Dave, what happend to your golden 8120 man, you should be able to beat my score easily with that one.

Dave, what happend to your golden 8120 man, you should be able to beat my score easily with that one.

I've still got the 8120 but it runs so hot that for 24/7 this chip is the better choice (+50mhz)...

Without a doubt, those GT's offered up better scores @ 7-7-7 than the RipJaws @ 9-11-10 reguardless of the freq difference.
The thing is, the GT's can be a little iffy @ >1950 CL7, and the RipJaws are an 8gb kit...
Guess I'm just getting old and looking for a really stable rig.

I think I'll settup the Sabertooth with the 8120 and the GT's on the bench and give it another go.
It'll have to be air cooled, but with this short benchy it might be OK...

Haven't really played with the Saber much since it came back from RMA anyway.
I really liked that board!

BTW: Don't call me a pussy bro... 9881 ain't all that impresive, you might just get spanked!

Your Bud,
Dave

[Zeus]

Haha, i guess that's what you needed to go wild! I know 9881 isn't impressive but so is my cpu. I know you can break that, just show us bud!

Dave, could I borrow your 8120 for a few years?

I'll play WinRAR once I get LN2 setup

Nope... I've got it settup on the "Pizza Box" bench with the Sabertooth right now installing Win7...
Pretty sure it'd a killer chip on cold but if it got broken I'd have to be there.

Zeus: Actually 9881 is pretty impressive...
I doubt I'll get it tonight, but you calling us pussy's did light a fire under my butt...
Give me a little time to get used to this board again, I might be able to beat it.

The sad thing is it's not cold here anymore, so I can't use the weather.

My 8150 is decent on all cores, just no stand out 8 GHz cores when cold
Of course, I didn't use PSCheck last time so that's up on the to-do.
A lot of guys giving FX upwards of 2.1v, I can't kill my stuff so I stop around 1.95v for CPU-Z. I did bench 3D at 1.9v though, kinda high.

I can probably get about 6.8 GHz for WinRAR with 2250 7-7-6-19 on my 8150. Will that be around 12K?

I wonder how high I can get winrar on Phenom II X4.

[Daveburt714]

I wonder how high I can get winrar on Phenom II X4.

WinRAR B2 seems to like more cores, so I'm not sure how an X4 would do compared to an 8 core FX, reguardless of the better IPC on the PHII...
I'm an admitted AMD fan, so hopefully WinRar is a sign of things to come with multi-core tuned software.

TBH, if you get a hair next time you go cold. I'd like to see some scores from a decent X4!

Sooner or later I'll at least try Dice. I've been saving this 8120 for cold...
It just sucks that it's 74f here and it's 3am.

Well you are welcome to drive up here...you would probably need one night in a motel room though. I am off school until late August.

Hey Zeus...
I spent a couple hours Friday night setting up the Saber/8120/GT combination and getting a feel for the board again.
Then I spent ~5 hours today re-learning what this combo likes...
Geez, I need to get a frikken life , (at least I went out last night and watched my friends band play).

Anyway, it's not a serious spankin, but I managed to break 10k with Barr3l's 200mb rule..




I had to crank the A/C down to 68f, but this was done on AIR (pretty impressive in my book)...
Here's waht it took:


This 8120 doesn't like voltage at ambient temps, it was a delicate balance!
I'm just happy to know that >10k is possible...

[Zeus]

Pretty impressive for a pussy! Hahaha. I bet the secret is in the Pepperoni & Mushroom pizza box. I have no A/C here so i'm not sure i can do anything right now as temps are a bit high here right now for some proper benching.

I might give it another go this week if i can find some time.

[FlanK3r]

1.488 and 5146MHz AIRcooled is impressive!

[chinook]

That pic is just as awesome as the result Dave GG!
Unfortunately for me, the temps around here are soaring in the range of 95-98f so i cannot squeeze more out of my rig..
I need to buy an A/C unit fast or i might not survive this summer (PC might not make it either)

[Zeus]

Ok Dave, spill the beans mate. I tried up to 5.2GHz but was unable to top my own result. What's the trick man? Tried killing services and all that cr@p, no joy.

Thanks... It certainly wasn't a pretty settup , those were my old radiator fans the flash really showed the dust!
98f, Man you need some A/C...

Zeus: What kind of pizza box are you using?
Seriously though, I'd say that tRCD is killing you. I got much better scores by tweaking memory rather than core clocks.
As for system tweaks, I just ran it in "diagnostic" mode.

Beep: If you've got mem that'll do 2250 7-7-6, you should be able to beat this pretty easily with an 8150 ~5Ghz.

[Zeus]

Dave, i'm using the Quattro Stagioni box. That might be the problem.

[ReKcOlNu]

I'm just happy to know that >10k is possible...

Nice score!

I just ran the 4.20 release version and got my best score, went up a whole 40 points!

Do non-Beta scores count?

[Daveburt714]

Sure it counts ReK...
Thanks for the heads up on the 4.20 release version , I'll check it out!

Guess I should change the thread title again.

Here's a link to the release version:

[BeepBeep2]

Does this bench run any good on 32-bit OS?

If yes then I'll try...

[Daveburt714]

I've never tried it on 32bit Beep, but I did just try the release version on a 64bit OS, and the Beta2 still has better scores...

Since you have that killer mem, I'd really like to see your results @ 2250 CL7.

[BeepBeep2]

First I need to find the 9913 bios for the CHV...
Otherwise I'll be wasting LN2, I have to get 32M in for Team Cup before I can play around with WinRAR.

Priorities are CPU-Z and 32M, then 1M and if LN2 left then WinRAR I guess but I don't have a bios where I can disable specific cores that I need for validation/superpi.
