16.235s SuperPi 1m Phenom II 955

[Zeus]

very nice Zeus, how is your the best max AIR validation? Great chip, i mean...

Tnx.

I don't know what the max validation is for this chip, tbh i don't care much about validation really but i know it can run 1M at higher freqency's than i showed.

Very nice score.

I'll try my best....however don't expect me to win without a new set of ram first :P

Also, as you can see from chew*'s results.....it will be challenging on this motherboard.

Thanks man.

Are you sure you'll need that much ram speed?

Mine was only at DDR1420 as you can see but with nice timings though, i know your mobo is different but did you try lower ram speed with 6-6-6 timings or is your ram not capable of doing that?

im not today luckly...All runs crash at superpi, a problem is, think, core #3 (4th core)...All more than 4100MHz 1M crash today-blue screen or frozed.

[chew*]

Nice to have chew* proven wrong as 4260MHz was enough, efficiency of this board is second to none it seems.

Yah haven't used that board yet...only going by what the m4a79 needed.....I would not say effeciency is second to none yet though I think I might break the MSI out with a fresh install as my drives have all undergone at least 2 DI and 4 ln2 sessions ( preety much hammered OS's )

Cooling is your friend, these CPU's respond very well to lower ambient i found out this morning.

Well, so far efficiency is very good, sub 68K Performance Product is quite easy actually.
It's definately better than the M4A79 deluxe i had before but that was a DDR2 board of course.

DeDal broke the 1M WR with this board too, might be coincidence but from what i've seen it's quite good for 1M.

I'm looking forward to your runs on the MSI, i'd like to see at what frequency it will break 16seconds.

[FlanK3r]

zeus:i msut maybe waiting to midnight or next days will be better for overclocking http://www.pocasi.cz/#rt=listResult@...=134989697@z=5

[Zeus]

Good luck pushing it, here's a little teaser:

[FlanK3r]

nice Zeus, with how Vcore? Inb my signature is my to time record - with 1.47V.

[Zeus]

1.47V as well.

Thanks man.

Well...I might.

My cpu has hit a wall at 4230MHz for 1m through testing so far......and thats on 12C ambients. Once I tune up my ram again I'll see if I can push it higher.

[chew*]

I think your attributing boards effeciency to the wrong factor, fresh install your going by effeciency of just CPU speed...

When I calculate efficiency I calculate the NB as well combined total...

so your run required 4260 + 2982 = 7242

My run with m4a79 T 4285 + 2926 = 7211 and matched the same time dirty install.

My run on giga 4294 + 2938 = 7232 and beat the crosshairs time on a dirty install.

If you don't measure it this way I could just crank NB beyond 3000 and claim its more efficient.

Here's the MSI on a completely wrecked and patched OS.......tested today long after I tested asus......asus had quite the advantage ram timing wise.

[Zeus]

Nice one there chew*, is that on air/water?

If you want to do a real fair comparisation you have to take memspeed and even timings into consideration as well.

Your NB speed was slower but your ramspeed was higher, there's always something, hehe.

You're right about a fresh install, this one i'm using is far from fresh but still running fine though.

[chew*]

Just water man easier to research this before applying on air.

True about the ram. I still think the msi is most efficient clock per clock, especially if you factor in ram speed/timings.

[Zeus]

Nice one. Anything left in that cpu?

Here's what 4280 got me:

Here's what 4280 got me:

On water?

quite a bit.....another 200 mhz.

[Zeus]

What? Another 200MHz on watercooling?

Just for validation or 1M stable?

[Slappa]

Here's what 4280 got me:

Excellent result.

As I said before, I'm limited at the chip. Gonna be hard for me to beat that one.....if it is even possible on the gigabyte board

[Zeus]

Thanks man, it's not the best i could do.

I'll keep the better ones untill you have a new chip.

[FlanK3r]

i know about x4 975 (i know to launch, but NDA...), omg + next 200MHz ...its chip what talking about in your post ,-)?

[chew*]

What? Another 200MHz on watercooling?

I validated this cpu over 4500 on this high end water setup......I have another 200mhz for 1m.

Nah flanker this is like the middle guy of all my chips.

We should have a "tweak it" versus "OC knob" battle in 1m zues I got times down to 15.6xx last night playing with it while running 1m.

This is amazing AMD stuff ya know

[FlanK3r]

Hehe second battle go to Chews win? (first was with Aircooling 1M for Chew)

I would love to buddy but i'm not sure if i can keep up with ya.

I haven't seen 15.6xx yet but i've been close.

At what frequency did you see 15.6xx?

I'm in for a good battle, hopefully Slappa can participate when he gets a new cpu.

I was up to 5 notches on the OC knob by middle of the run before I backed off.

6 notches gave me a ram error. No clue what speed was was just fooling around to see how far it could go. I would imagine near 4380 at max.

[Zeus]

Sounds like a very strong CPU, don't know if mine will be able to run 1M at 4380MHz.

Shame you did not make a screenie.

What was your ambient temp then?

22C via AC.
