[how to] Get the best SuperPi efficiency out of the K10 platform

[Zeus]

I'm working on this atm, trying to get this gigabyte to cooperate at 300fsb....

Here we go, I would not reccomend this to anyone for everyday use, this particular board is a PITA to get 300 fsb stable on and the voltage I am feeding everything is , I could probably get the efficiency better with higher ram speed but there is fsb wall at 300+, I will try a diff configuration later...

The times don't look good but the efficiency is just over 67K,

Would you like to share which voltages you raised to get 300fsb?

Your efficiency is good due to high ram speed and high NB clock not because of 300 fsb but i think you know that.

Keep them coming and show me sub 68K chew*!

@ Zeus

realy good job! thank you!


@ chew

i have the same problem with my asus MVP

if i would make 301 in the bios the mainboard wants to boot an CPU Clock auf 4200mhz with every CPu multiply

but if i boot with 300 and pust it in windows with AOD over 300 it is no problem

Thanks. Very nice efficiency there, 600+ on the ram seems to do a great job, i might give that a try too.

It's all in the CPU/NB frequency balance: if the NB is clocked a lot lower than the cpu, your efficiency will drastically
decrease (performance product will increase)

Very true my friend, NB clock seems to have the most impact on the score with the memoryspeed in second place. Timings seemed to matter a lot less.
