TAKE2: Gigabyte DS3+E6400 Step6 B2+G.Skill PC6400 HZ+Big Typhoon Air....up to 3.8GHz

[dinos22]

Here's a comparison with P5B Dlx @ 3.6GHz. The larger L2 cache of Conroe/Kentsfield makes a difference in Pi.

1:1


2:3 ratio

hey sierra that was a run with a bunch of stuff running in the background

here is a clean run with a MUCH better time at only 3.6GHz as well

[dinos22]

dinos, did you mod the NB in anyway? Stock paste and everything?

no mods at all

[dinos22]

Dinos wtf your 1m pi is way wayyyy slow. and your at 3.8ghz ?. what gives ?
mine at 3.6ghz 400 mhz FSB 1:1 4-4-4-12 is less than 14sec. i believe.
@ 3.8ghz its right at about 13 seconds.
wierd. why is yours so slow

odd.

i don't have the tweaks for 1M

in fact I do not bench for fast 1M but simply just the highest clock i can get so i have a few windows running

32M is a different story for me

compare your times with mine for the 3.6GHz and 3.8GHz runs with Allendale and you'll see what i mean

[dinos22]

As I just showed, you can't compare Allendale and Conroe. In SuperPi, Conroe will win just about every time because of the larger cache. Allendale/965 is a fun combo to overclock. But that combo will get slaughtered in 32M by Conroe/965. Likewise, Conroe/965 will lose to Conroe/975. All of the Pi records have been done with Conroe/975. That's not just coincidence.

we are yet to see people seriously bench SuperPI on 965+allendale

i'll make sure that sentiment changes that's for sure.....

my only gripe is that the motherboard does not give me 500-600 speeds reliably so the answer maybe to get the asus..... but i still have some tweaking to do

[dinos22]

Sorry its on Single Stage !!!

nice OC

What I'm saying is that clock/clock, Conroe will beat Allendale, especially in 32M. How high Allendale clocks is a different matter. Conroe will beat it at any speed. If 32M is your thing, you need Conroe and a 975 board. Coolaler and the Japanese are setting all the records in Pi. Look at the boards and CPU's they're using.

yeah that's true but good conroes are hard to come by........if certain batches start performing like some of the Step5 B1 i'll be getting into it for sure

i think that conroe beats allendale in 1M a LOT more than 32M actually

Nice results mate,here's mine E6400&DS3&Crucial Ballistix

3880Mhz 1.55v



Orthos 3.76Ghz 1.50v =>

[dinos22]

wow nice one dude

what week?

[Brahmzy]

wow nice one dude

what week?

Yeah, what week?

[Thoroughbred b]

wow nice one dude

what week?

Really don't know,tomorrow switching to P5B so i'll take a closer look

[largon]

Thoroughbred b,
You can check the week from the "FPO/BATCH" # printed on the cardboard package of the cpu.
That's if your chip is retail.

Thnx here it is =>

L625A300

[dinos22]

gawd damn why did australia miss out on L625 E6400 CPUs

[ogOOr]

my e6400 can do 2h in orthos on 3600mhz and 1.35v core ; +2vmech and +1 vfsb, on DS3 . What would you say about that? Don't look at the timings, i didn't changed anything.

wow man what stepping is that

can you measure vcore with DMM

[ogOOr]

it's L630b003 . Rest is on the print screen
I can measure it, but on weekend And i need the reading points (where on mobo i can measure it)

I'm looking for the best bios 4 ds3, any ideas?

i've used DS3 a while back so don't know now but search XS there should be measure points marked by Kunaak

btw that is a killer CPU....can you get more dude

[ogOOr]

I bought it in www.scan.co.uk it isn't select But i will try to do 2h in orthos on 3800 on some low vcore
