Gigabyte TweaKING - Official info thread

[Leeghoofd]

We had zero experience with these rams and were already shocked they did over 2200mhz... 2D dunno if we could have gone lower then eg 70, for 3D loosening TRFC was the only way to keep it sort of stable... System was really degrading at the end... !! BUT no burned sockets !!

Await the cookie screens Dino... cpu tweaker reveals it all (I think :p)

[M.Beier]

Where were you when the lights went out in Paris City ?

We were still partying






ps : don't tell my wife

This sounds very wrong; With Bernice
Roy and Bernice were funny as hell : - )
But I believe you were with same crowd as me tuesday evening, monday I cant remember, apart from; YES you were at Monstru room

Oh and searching for Bernice on facebook, her pictures and Mads (Danish guy) videos from our parties must get online
Everybody was; WTF when Roy bit off the nose of Kingston logo

[massman]

so what ICs do you guys think they were
i was under the impression they were BBSE

Must be something like that.

Btw, for reference: 2200 CL7-9-7 was stable, 2200 CL9-8-8 was not !

lol 88 TRFC.............i'm sure you could have done low 60s if you tried more :p
what RTL were you on?

TRFC was quite tricky, I think low 70 was already pushing it. But, remember no one had tested these memory sticks before. No one even know the exact memory IC type, so it's very difficult to find optimum settings for the memory .

Luckily Thomas told me he was running 2000CL7, so we decided to test lower timings.

RTL was around 52 I think.

what about other subtimings....yeah let us know what else you set in bios or what you left on auto whatever is easier

Hicookie will post the results of top3 or top5 and those screenshots will contain subtiming details.

u got rid of maxmem for 3d right?

Yes.

3DMark01 has proven to be quite tricky on P55 again; you will see from the screenshots that higher doesn't always equal better.

[massman]

did you guys do any pretesting for run order? unusual order there from both

No, this one was chosen during the competition, but it looks a lot like the run order I used in previous sessions.

There's no such thing as 'usual run order' as it varies from setup to setup or even from session to session. I just check what tests are harder to get stable or which will improve the most from being run first. CH has some 'high' runs sometimes, so I run it first.

I didn't see you in the nipple biting contest lol. In the same room ( don't even recall the room nr) where you still there when we had the Ira event on tuesday ? !! luckily the Viking infantry saved us !!

[Pt1t]

Luckily Thomas told me he was running 2000CL7, so we decided to test lower timings.

yes , for us, run to 2200 was impossible because our cpu was too weak in bclock. RAM ran fine to 2000Mhz 7-6-5-18-60

[elmor]

Another great event from Gigabyte

We were crippled in 32m because of 210 bclock and rams were not really stable there either running 8-9-8 2100. Final result was 9m11s, had a much better run that'd have hit around 9m8s but crashed. I think the theory about trfc making the difference is wrong cause we were running it at 70 and 65.

Higher timings and lower RTL is possible, but we were running 49 and did not have really good performance and ram timings should cripple alot. We need hicookie to publish the screenshots to find this one out.

01 was in great need of ram and uncore as well but I think we finished 5th there which is decent below teams as Turkey, Belgium and Norway GFX was at 740/1630/1370 in riva.

You see, what you need is decent press backing. You and ME4ME have won 100% of the events I've attended as press.

[Sampsa]

Thanks to Gigabyte (Kristina & hicookie) for inviting us to TweaKING competition. This was very nice and a little bit different kind of oc-competition. Also it was nice to meet everyone (some people once again)

Team Finland Spi32M score (4th):

Our CPU booted and worked easily with 222 MHz BCLK. First we used one multiplier smaller memory ratio (DDR3-888) with 7-8-7-18-74 1T timings but time was 7 min 10,844 sec. Then we switched to DDR3-2220 memory setting and gained couple more seconds. We also tried 235 MHz base clock but were not successfull, maybe with more time. Anyway 70 minutes went FAST and we managed to do four full runs.



CPU: 18 x 222 MHz: vcore 1,4V, vtt 1,5V
MEM: DDR3-2220 9-9-9-24-82 1T 1,76V

Tweaks: Pagefile to slave partition (512-512), LSC, Maxmem to 618, OCX Copy-waza, Disable most services, set theme to Silver, language bar tweak, disabled VGA, real time, affinity to two cores.

One "problem" in competition:

Instead of CPU-Z Gigabyte demanded everyone using Intel Frequency Display utility which IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT very accurate. For example our 3996 MHz CPU frequency was being displayed as 4000 MHz. I don't know if for example 4004 MHz and more was being shown as 4000 MHz as well..

[ME4ME]

Thanx to Gigabyte for having another great contest

Elmor and me were struggeling a bit with the bclock, and couldn't run as high as some other people did. Because of that, we were forced to run lower uncore. But i guess we can't compain about anything, because some people (Pt1t) had even worse bclocks.

however, the most results were really close to eachother, and the contest was very pleasant

I'll try to put up some pictures soon too

[hey]

hi all guys; we just arrived home, because too high internet prices at the hotel i am just writing..

Firstly and most importantly; i had great time! not because i win or loose but having really good time with old and new friends; i never change this to any winning possition or sth.
And very very congrats the all buddies i know all are good tweakers but some time lucks cant be with you like us in 32m )

let me write one by one

first one is 32M

i dont know if you checked our 32M scores it is 9m 19sec how can we have such a sucks score ?? here is the answer CPUTweaker was not working and we couldnt realise it cause it shows setting up is ok but not really setting up because we dont use cpuz at that contest we didnt run cpuz so we never thought that is possible so our real mem timings was such 8-15-15-31-..subs are also as high as auto from bios gives..

first we thought some sevices may caused that so even we ghost the system back but we never realised the problem; okay we are guilty cause i was setting only cas from bios but here we had an unknown memory so that shoul be normal guys..

well this is our bad luck in superpi 32m (we were easyly capable of 9m 8sec with 9-10-10 timings at home even at that setup without any tweak we get 9m 17sec,, check our 9m 19sec on the event ) )

In case on 3DMARK01

it is not a great results we got there my romanian friends know it let me just tell what i got at home at 211blck 121pcie vga@750-1587-1380, i was able to do 812xx; at 222bclck 125pci vga@750-1587-1380 with bad mem timingscas9-10 etc, i was able to do 81624. so in that contest we ran at 222bclkc 126pcie, vga@760-(1590to1625)-1338 we got 81590 it was not easy to let system see ssd at this pcie so not a good score

i am really sorry that our romanian friends couldnt run their system in 3d; cause their vga was better than ours and i believe it was gonna be really good buddy challenge

also thomas s unable to pass 200bclk cpu; petri and sampsa s d3d problem and i had thought that was a vga mem problem...and all guys that have such problems..

with all my respects..

hey

and of course thanks to gigabyte for such an event

For Bclock, i found how to boot (not even 32M stable) with 222Block

But i think Cpu did not support that more than 5min ... because it needed 1.8V VTT

and of course thanks to gigabyte for such an event

Yea, some work for BIOS team on the BIOS, if selecting ONE setting manually in BIOS, such as CAS, of which you cant change in OS, all other timings are being ed....
We also didnt notice this in good time, was our reason for running flat; 9-9-9-24 (Auto)

We couldnt get past 111 PCI-e
Hmm, dispite 210 vs. 211, you would have been no1 in 01SE, but Im impressed that the judge accepted that since only rule of event was 4000mhz, not 4000.1... you ran 4009mhz
Roy (UK guy) stated this as being of very high importance on the stage.

Once again hey, as I said in Paris, VERY VERY impressive run You suprised me alot, especially for not kicking my ass when I said "hey hey"

[DonNiger]

shame man
was really cheering on for you on the IRC heheheh

Yeh, you was the one who was spamming it

[Trouffman]

crazy speaker, UK guy is Rui, not Roy

finally get back home, had extra night with hi Cookie and estonian friends (N i'm NOT gay ^^')

Really really tired, and had like 80 minutes of "real vidéos" to capture / edit / publish !

That was a very great event, especially for us french guys, as that's the real first time something is held in our country !

I didn't had that much time to speak with you all about tweaks you used, etc, but tried my best to have a little chat with everyone, as it's so many people in the same time, that's really great to see you all and share some beers together.

Special thanks to GIGABYTE (kevin, christophe, wil from france, and also Hi Cookie, kristina and bernice for the parties )

I can bet this is only the beginning and "warm up" for next year events such as GOOC 2010 and other OC / Tweaking competition.

Even my real real real bad luck the last few days (broke to many thing, windows on my car, destroy 1 webcam, almost killed my laptop etc....) that was nice and hope to be a part of this kind of event next time !

Last : special cheers to the norway guys that manage to stay at our table with BUNCH of french-press guys in the LIDO, drinking all the red wine... (we ended up to 9 bottles for our table... with few people not drinking ^^)

[vanovich]

Great event, and lots off fun, was great meeting you all.The night/morning fun was exeptional. Hihi the ira event like someone called it
Hope to meet you all again sometime.

[Pt1t]

Et mon trépied ?

[Kabauterman]

Hey guys,

was great to meet all of you there!

Unfortunatly our i5-750 does not like VTT about 1.6V (no boot) and so we are not able to run BCLK 220+

We run 210.4x19 with 2:10 and 8-9-6-20 1T

same with the VGA I think we where the only guys there GFX not hit more than 720 MHz...

but the Olympic spirit is all what counts
hope to see all of you soon!

[Gautam]

Good work, Captain Jinx

Haha I'm using that.

And nice work everyone. Even still it seemed like luck was a bit of a factor and clearly everyone tried to tweak hard.

[OBR]

I am NOT an Overclocker, but EDITOR! If massman said how can compete some unknown Power User from forum with "BIG" OC names. I wanted to prove is it possible.

I had only two free days for preparation, i chose SuperPi for that and ed up for 3D01. Used Ci5-750 + Asus P557P LE (very cheap mobo) + Corsairs 2000 C7. I didnot tested whole event setup before.

We did some known OS, registry tweaks + SPI Tweaker (no manual waza).

- diagnostic boot
- largeCache

Pagefile 512/512 on D:
Waza 560, 128k, no CDT or IV

Settings: 210 BCLK (9-9-9-24-1+ trfc 74) 2100 MHz MEMs, CPU at 3990 MHz time was 9,03.
Our system can pass 32M at 221 BCLK (booted from bios), 2210 MHz Mems at (10-9-9-9-31-1) but score was worst - 9,04 (was stable for 3d01 too)

Dinos: hey man, i can beat you every day i wants ... you can choose a test and we will se who has a magic and ho can only talking about it (YEAH, this is a challenge!!)

[BenchZowner]

Here we go again....

[Leeghoofd]

OBR I still have no idea how you beat us all with rams running way tighter timings, but congratz dude, well done

Dinos: hey man, i can beat you every day i wants ... you can choose a test and we will se who has a magic and ho can only talking about it (YEAH, this is a challenge!!)

Just a tip here though: Just keep ya remarks a bit on a lower less arrogant level though :p Don't attack people or challenge them in this way... not good for ya own popularity

[SF3D]

Roy (UK guy) stated this as being of very high importance on the stage

Hey used 222x18 = 4000 in the competition. I was standing next to their screen when they finished one of their runs. Nothing suspicious in there.

This mistake / misunderstanding is fixed now hopefully

[OBR]

Thanks, but i think YOU are a real winners, great scores in both test ...

we have to wait for screens, i dont remember whole timings settings

PS, Leeghoofd, i didnot start in that arrogant style ... but Dinos

[Kabauterman]

Hey guys,

I was also wondering about the speed of the czech SPi Run, but we sitting right back of them and we have a look at all what they does...
I not find anything special, no cheating but a very very good performance for the Clocks what they had.
