Can't believe what a struggle it was but i finally got sub 13 minutes at 3.6GHz.

I must be one of the very last to achieve this but i finally acomplished my target.

I have been concentrating on 965 board results way too long, ignoring the fact i have a P35 chipset based board.

This might look similar but i found out the hard way they're not.

On 965 boards one could get sub 13 min at 3.6Ghz with just 400MHz FSB and a 2:3 divider to set mem to 600MHz.

For too long i've been thinking that this was possible on a P35 board too, how wrong i was!!

I just didn't understand that changing my timings and subtimings didn't give any gain in SuperPi, then i suddenly dawned on me that i was starved for FSB!

After crancking up my FSB and lowering my multi, i found that i gained a hell of a lot, so i needed ram that could do real high frequenty's so i rolled the dice and got me two sticks of Crucial Ballistix PC8500.

These didn't let me down, heck, they even do 1M at DDR 1200 4-4-4.

So back to the drawing board, first untweaked run brought 13 min 6 seconds, next was what i was looking for:



I think i can better this with some finetuning but hey, the result is there!

Geez, can't remember the last time i typed such a long post, i'm exited!!
