I'll be honest with you, Elmor made it pretty crisp clear when he wrote his method and his subsequent replies. After that I find it hard to believe why people are still faulting to follow basic instructions he wrote down one by one and so have others many times. The only reason I could think is, is there another post somewhere I've not read where all these differences are coming from? Or some behind the scenes conversations where people are building on their misunderstandings with other than the guys who have ran it successfully? Because you're not the first and I doubt the last even, but your method was different to what was stated T_M.Originally Posted by T_M
FWIW I started reading the CDT thread very late on and followed the last post by OPB/Elmor and was able to do it (albeit not perfectly). If I errored repeatedly, complained to make it clearer and that I don't understand it many times over with how George wrote down to do the CW step by step, the answer I'd get is " <rolleyes> dude go back and read it again, its all there" or just be ignored and mocked. People would get fed up of me. I'm being genuinely frank with you, you can't make it much more simpler, there is no hidden magic or conspiracy trash, what you need to do is all written there and by people adding, detracting and saying stuff about it which Kev did not say or affirm, all this confusion comes about. This is the full method: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&postcount=31
Kain is right you know. Your method is different to what OPB/Elmor stated and different to what I followed and understood by what they wrote too. Still v.good that you're trying genuinely. I'm not speaking on your qs because its best since you asked Kain, that he advises you instead so no more confusion comes about. Its bad enough as it is.
-Copying a single random file across does not give me any gains whatsoever (tried).If you can please give me some pointers on anything in the above that would cause CDT to not give a better boost than just copying across a single large random file.
I even tried "balance method" where after doing CDT (3 copies) out of the SuperPI folder, i then returned all 3 files back into the SuperPI folder and my time was 1s slower, although both my Available and System Cache were higher (but balanced).
-As I listed before, you have to copy the RAR 3) to the SPi drive and 2) to a folder on the SPi drive too. This is intricate to the method.
-Why did you reboot?
-Why did you not overwrite the 1.85GB files each time?
CW does not make a difference in my case many times. Could someone explain that and give me pointers as to why not and how to get a boost everytime? Most likely not because I follow their method step by step. Such idiosyncrasies are there to stay IMO, just like you can pour LN2 in a tube and get 57xx clocks as your highest while another guy on a different day using the same hardware may pour it the same way and be able to achieve 58xx. We don't try and critique that or its underlying principles, we just know what we observed and experienced because its out of our control how a processor will behave. It would be awfully ignorant and jealousy of the first person to say "lol dude thats flat out fake even a pigeon can see that, you cheated, I ran the same damn thing and the processor does NOT go above 57xx, NO WAY!!"
