32m SPi Low Clock Challenge

[3oh6]

Here's a sub 11 min when I was warming up my CPU after LN2 benching....

stoopid fast setup...you have that RE singing like a young man in front of the feds.

Core I7 4460Mhz sub 8m~

and the gauntlet has been laid down for sub 8 min which most should be able to do on air...this should be the battle category with everyone able to compete. nice way to get the party started

I think I can reach sub 9mn with 3905-3910 by lowering CPU ratio and increasing the rest . Despite it, it should be possible with 3880-3860MHz under cold to fix Uncore near 4600MHz

yup, those numbers look bang on, nice run

Nop , it is not slow at all...

it is slow. for 45nm, regardless of memory used, it is slow. make sure LSC is enabled and keep working/tweaking...there is plenty of room to improve.

after posting my 9m59.391 run, I found this.....

3oh6's finish time and checksum are the same.

I have two other 9m59.x runs at the same CPU clock - should I post one of those too ?

Thanks for any advice

hahaha, i have never seen that before. i guess the checksum is solely based on the time? no real need to post other 9m59.x runs if they aren't any faster than the one posted.

Best i can do without copy wazza (just can't get it to work heh)

i don't know what to say George, your handicap (inability to get CW working) baffles my mind. platform after platform it doesn't work for you which clearly means it has to be OS related but i am stumped.

I love this game

one of the best out there...that and 01/AM3, i have been spending far too much time on both. nice run BTW...isn't that the best when your trying to squeeze that last tenth of a MHz

big update done which will be followed by my first couple i7 results later tonight. not sure i am going to be able to squeeze past that 4460MHz 7m59.x time Dsjjang has put up with this current setup. i still might be leaving a bit short with CW so perhaps more work is needed there...but 3x2GB kits of memory smoke 3x1GB at the same clocks, first thing i have figured out with i7

[eva2000]

yeah it's weird and i even moved to winxp pro sp3 as well!

[Dsjjang]

Yap, Core I7 is really 32m monster~
sub 8m isn't hard without sub zero cooling~
party started~

[3oh6]

yeah it's weird and i even moved to winxp pro sp3 as well!

hopefully i get that DFI board soon and i will do up my current 32M OS on that board and send you an image with a screencast of my process...i am interested to see if your setup at the same settings is simply tweaked to already include the benefit of CW...if that is even possible.

party started~

oh it's started, and i just paid my cover at the door...

i7 965 (3836A287) 22 x 202.5 (boot at 202.5*22) // Chilly1 SS
EVGA X58 SLI (SZ1C) // bone stock
Ballistix 2x1GB PC3-16000 CL9 & G.Skill HZ 1x1GB PC3-12800 CL7
BFG GTX 280 OCX (no drivers)
Seagate 7200.9 80GB SATA2 (3GB partition for OS / 4GB partition for SPi/page)
Ultra X-Pro 750W
WinXP Pro SP3 (custom nLite'nd job)

4454.8MHz SPi 32M = 7m 59.906s
click for full size including memset...


i was simply looking to top your time Dsjjang so there may be a better combination, but i should be working so i can't play with it all night. i7 is definitely a blast to run 32M with. i still have to get the hang of what memory can/can't do though...and dammit we need to be able to adjust memory timings in Windows already. recovery POST from timings on this EVGA isn't always pleasant and sometimes requires the whole CMOS clear shuffle...plenty of that for the time above

[T_M]

I thought you could already tweak timings in WIndows - using that OC tool thingy (sorry been outta the game since Nov)

so far nothing can change timings in Windows on X58, everything is locked as far as i know. E-LEET is just for adjusting voltage and FSB/CPU-Multi/PCI-E.

[T_M]

CPUTweaker ?

[Harshal]

^^ yeah it works most of the time!

[3oh6]

CPUTweaker ?

^^ yeah it works most of the time!

so new beta's do allow timing changes? nice...he needs to update his web site

thanks Tim

doesn't work for me on DFI X58

^^ yeah it works most of the time!

you sure ?

nlite'd all my os and have LSC enabled by default along with some registry settings already set so yeah out of the box i don't do much tweaking wise.... CW for me can be 0-3s faster but it ain't always consistent - maybe cause i don't use ramdisk/eram ???

maybe it's the way i have my drives partitioned ? (lots of partitions)

my CW right now on i7 is good for about 6 secs and is as consistent as it was on my old C2D setup with ERAM. i don't use ERAM anymore so that's definitely not it. i don't think partitions is the issue though, but you never know

My first contribution to this thread. P45 is not very fast.

Looks good EVGA X58~
I have wait DFI X58~
That selling delayed in Korea~

I have an improved run.

nice doing DDR2/P45 proud

so i should be aiming for 6 seconds faster with CW... is that with maxmem or same 6 secs with or without maxmem ?

i've managed to push 9m 00.453s at 3945mhz with 1038mhz 8-8-8-20 which is an improvement I guess.

Now that i have decent watercooling on my NB i wanted to give Performance Level 8 another try.

Had to set 1.76Vnb bios (could have been lower but didn't try) AI clock twister to light and most important, NB skew to 100ps delay.

This really helps 32M times:



Didn't have much time to tweak some more but it's a nice start.

[ToyTen]

That's a nice sub 12

GG Zeus

[Ozzfest05]

here is my first 32m next run I will have ram at 1900mhz and fsb up a little higher , some settings I still have to tweak I really dont know if this is a good run I never do 32m.

[Zeus]

Not trying to be rude here but you're actually missing the point of this thread, it's not doing the best 32M time you can get, it's about using the lowest CPU speed to enter a certain time zone, like just under 12 minutes for example.

Next time try to move all windows closer to each other and crop your pic please, some of us us small monitors. (like me )

Give it a bit more cpu speed, some more memspeed an try to hit sub 11 minutes.

[Ozzfest05]

no dude dont worry your not being rude its just this is what I run my cpu at 24 /7 I will try sub 11 though thanks

[Ozzfest05]

Ok so heres my sub 11 run I know I can do better

[Benji Tshi]

My first participation here. Spending time on tweakig is quite useful
Everything on radbox Intel, and i should test it again with 3x1 and 2x1...But this was just to experience tweaking.


3915......Benji Tshi..............8.59.953......27x145......1015mh z.....8-7-6-16....2/14...X58



3488......Benji Tshi..............9.59.922......24x145......1017mh z.....8-7-6-18....2/14...X58




Now, i have to mount my waterblock on i7 and try sub8 That's the best category it seems

update : my 965 sucks...Or perhaps it's too hot under stock cooling Intel, but I can't try sub8 with this setup...

[redratamd]

Very good scores Benji Tshi
Your work pay now .

[Benji Tshi]

Thanks

But, even if my scores are not too bad now, under LN2, my i7 sucks...

I have to improve my CW because it gives me juste 3-4 seconds better, i'm so far of 6 seconds that other ones are talking about
