anybody?? whats the result for 3dmark06 at 4ghz 200x20 cpu score on vista 64??

[jcniest5]

Could be a bad chip. I've had one in the i7 940 flavor.

Wouldn't Prime95 also error out if it's a bad chip? Think I have to run Prime95 to check on it.

[OcAddict]

curious
just want to ask
whats the cpu score for 3dmark06 for 20x200 on vista 64 sp1??
i am getting only 6900

anybody?? whats the result for 3dmark06 at 4ghz 200x20 cpu score on vista 64??

I think that is a normal cpu score, i've got 7408 @ 4200MHz but if you want i will test @ 4000MHz for you. Only difference, i'm running Vista 32-bit

Not necessarily.

Well, I got 6240 on Vista 64 @ 4GHz @ same clock, if that helps?

Bios 1001 is no longer a beta, it's official on asus website.

Bios 1001 is no longer a beta, it's official on asus website.

And no different from 0805.

Forthcoming changes 'listed' to BIOS updates would be nice, especially in Beta form, ASUS?

I'll stick with 0805 ATM

[T_Flight]

They don't list all changes in the chagelogs...or short definition actually. I';ve never seen a changelog on these things. There very well could be minor bug fixes in these for memory issues, voltages that aren't acting right, mem timing issues, boot issues...the list is endless. I've been keeping up with them every now and then. I've noticed that my system acts better. Please don;t ask me to quantify that. I think you guys know that you geta feel for these things by using them alot. I've just noticed that stuff acts better. It's boots smoother, I don't get the hangs on DET RAM and stuff like that. I also noticed I have been able to use a wider rtange of settings without OC fails. Just general stuff like that.

I can say that alot changed with 0805, but I'm on 0903 now and it works great too. I'm gonna load that 1001. It'll be good to get into the thousands just to say I did even if it didn;t improve anything yet. Heck it might improve and I might not realize it until I stumble onto something.

I know there are alot of issues with folks when they go over 200 BClk, qand that's where I'm headed as soon as I get my water going. The "Rocket" (my computers name) is about to blast!

[T_Flight]

Just that quick I updated that BIOS to 1001. Going to change my sig now. I'll mess with more OC'ing and tweaking when I get my water stuff here. It should be here next week.

Thanks for the head up Jas. I just checked the site lastnight and they didn't have it up there.

[cstkl1]

so why is a lot of ppl getting a lot of cpu scores different

some online scores show 3dmark06 on vista cpu scores 7400

furturemark orb shows as 6900

I went from 705 to 903 and also noticed smother booting. let us kow how 1001 work for you!

[jcniest5]

If I choose 1/2 or 1/4 of available memory for the test, no error comes out. What does that tell us (if anything)?

There is an issue with your memory it seems...can you Memtest86+ for 2-3 passes without errors?

my bios already 1001

Scaramonga, Does your score change with Ht off?

[jasonelmore]

It seems like this Bios changing every two weeks is keeping everyone busy. We update the bios and go through hours of extensive testing with all kinds of benchmarks only to do it all over again in a couple of weeks. But that's why i'm glad I got this motherboard. In my opinion the Motherboard is the most important component when building your system. For a long time i thought it was the CPU or RAM but it's definately the motherboard. Some nice Ram just makes things so much easier. I have my money set aside for those new Corsair GT Modules. I wish they would hurry up and come out.

Ok guys.. Well there is annoying news...

Well i havent got my board back yet but they did call in later today and letting me know that my powersupply has minor fault in it and suggested me to get another so i told them cant i get a replacement and he goes yep, did u get it from us and i go yup so i told him the invoice number and so hes putting it in by the time he made the call. so i may not even get it till either tommorrow or maybe next week now..

Bah... that powersupply was running fine and i dont understand how it had a minior fault in it..

I just hope everything else thats in there have no faults in it..

As I suspected, It probably isnt a fault as such izzy, more a compatibility issue, hence those beep errors you were getting.
I know how frustrating it is I've lost count of the amount of stuff i've had to rma in the last two years.

On the bright side though, you will be up and running soon and flying on that set up!

Yeah hopefully.

it makes me think if they used their replacement ones, i wonder if they still have the same problem though, just to get it booting up properly. Since they may have ones that have old revisions or something.

[T_Flight]

Yep, PSU. See? That's why i said that about the PSU first. It's the first thing I look at. These things require good clean and strong rails. If they fluctuate, or they droop under load, that is a "no go". You can't diagnose anything else until you get that issue resolved, becasue flaky or weak rails will cause havok with these systems.

It might have another issue too, but until you get the PSU sorted, you can't judge anything else. It's quite posible thr PSU could solve things completely.

Oh ok, well can u name the top best powersupplys?

Since maybe next time i can just manage to get that if the problems lerk in again and not powerup.

[BustaH]

Im using a Galaxy in my rig now, in fact mines only the 850w version, as I said before the newer revision version of these psus are just fine.

corsair psus or power and cooling ones seem to be the best around atm.

Oh ok, Thanx

I'd just hope it wont do this type of thing again.

Sumtimes it makes me think i shuldnt do another motherboard change for a couple years now due of wat it culd of done to the powersupply or such.

But i do regret of getting the striker II and the QX9770 cpu tho i shuld of research a bit more on the upcomming cpu's and such so i wuldnt either come across of changing the motherboard for the i7 cores.
