After all that tweaking I thought that you should have had a greater improvement over my system in terms o Gflops. Since I'm runing a pretty standard combo

[Alex-Ro]

But you have 150 mhz gain

[Leeghoofd]

Gigaflops mean what in real time performance or in benchmarks ? could be windows, bios setting dependant, impossible to compare,... pointless. Enjoy your nice CPU... you got a good one...

[st0ned]

Yeah but having Cl9 mems ( I want 8Gb stick CL7... ) really kills my performance...

Uhm imo Gflops are a nice indicator of real life performance.

CPU is kind of a golden one for my ( I've done multi 56x and I can bench 5.5Ghz at 1.56v ) but for low vCores is indeed a very nice one

Real vCore 1.398v



LinX

glops?? eh.. .dude this is about bandwidth. the glops vs a 2200mhz c7 difference was just around 1glops

when i see that kind of clocks.. all i see is a decorative m4e. Asus p67 pro would have suffice for that.

seriously nice proc.
if only that was in my hands now lol.

Uhm I changed from a p67 evo to the m4e but yes, still exploring. I gain like 1Gflop for each CL I dump ( 9->8 for exemple ) and around 4 for each mems multi ( 8-9-8 933 vs 9-11-9 1066 )

I should and I have some runs done with ~7Gb but it takes to much time just to test some few low changes...

download the last aida64....

sandybridge and everest= fake memory bandwidth

[Alex-Ro]

So can someone make a screen of all bios options regarding tweaking memory and voltages?

[owikh84]

Not work how? The second card doesn't show up or not able to run SLI? PCIE X16/X8_1 and X8_3 are the slots I used for the GTX 570 before going with triple cards and didn't have any issues.

both cards are shown just that there's no SLI option in NV CPL.

Do you have another SLI bridge you can try?

[MikeMK]

Guys, quick question. Trying for 5ghz right now, and i can boot in a verify CPU-Z at 5ghz 1.44v, however, when i increase the voltage above approx 1.45v I get a "CPU Overvoltage Error" on post. Any ideas?

go in to the where the voltages and fan controls are in the bios and click on cpu voltage and then choose ignore, that will allow you to boot with high vcore.

[MikeMK]

wicked, thanks mate... had a feeling it was something simple like that

[st0ned]

That should happen at >1.55v not at 1.45v, double check your voltage m8.

[MikeMK]

Yep, think you are right there. Just reloaded my 5ghz profile and booted no prob at 1.46v. Thing is when it did it i went in bios, checked voltage and rebooted and I could have sworn it was 1.45v that it was set too. Luckily after the 2nd attempt i switched back to my 4.8ghz profile so if it was running 1.55v+ it wasnt for very long. Im on water so im hoping ive not done any damage to the chip!

[owikh84]

yes tried 2 SLI bridges already. I think gotta do with the stripstreamed SP1. Reinstalled non SP1 Win7 and then installed the SP1 patch, SLI is working fine again.

[cstkl1]

LOL maybe some will understand especially those who had the classified
Testing HT on
Sham etc farny almost samething here on m4e difference of ht On and ht off setting

Prob now is the way i ramped up the glops before running linx not working on ht on
Stuck at 80-81 for 4.85
should be in the range of 85-86.

[st0ned]

I'm runing at low 80's with HT on. I wish there were better 8Gb kit's on the market

[MikeMK]

Well, ive been working on this chip the last few evenings, this is looking like my max 24/7 o/c. DMM reads 1.39-1.40:



One thing ive noticed though - so far ive just left the memory at 1600mhz to keep that out of the equasion, and cos i wanted to see what mhz i could get on this chip. Ive just started tweaking to get to 2133mhz. Ive tried upping my VCCIO (which from what i understand is similart to QPI/VTT on 1366) but anything above 1.15v just BSODs. Is there something I need to change in the DIGI+ VRM section or something to enable higher voltage?

Lets see your cpu...crank it up

[PolRoger]

They had some the new (B3) in stock at NewEgg last week and on a kind of an impulse I decided to order one. The board arrived today and its now time again to learn another BIOS...

[cstkl1]

Lets see your cpu...crank it up

well turns out had to do a few more tweaking to get the difference of ht on vs ht off.. wasnt vcore but others

but bios 120x awesome vccio back down to 1.075 again for 2250
bios 11xx is 1.175
bios 10xx is 1.075
bios 9xx is 1.175

no idea what happen but cheers to asus.

btw nice clocks in the bandwidth section

[rabor]

Agreed.., very good job indeed.

Since 1204, so 3 days now, I've had no more coldboot 'problems' & no more initialization problems on the Marvell ports.

Also idle board temp went down from 25C to 23C.

What were you able to gain from moving to the M4E from the P8P67 Evo ?
Considering the move myself
