I have been busy latly to get my bike up and runing.. Bigbore kit for my rotax engine 998cc to 1060cc. So it have been less playing with the computer.

But here come one indoor 3dmark2006 run with about max the cpu, imc , and the new sticks can do with indoor temp..all timings are not tweaked yet(only fast 7-7-7 run)

Cooling Trueblack + kaze 3000rpm

Corsair 1866C7GT

Nice run, and good luck on the bike I myself have been wiring up my 3800 in my z24. Getting it ready to take it to my In law's so I can paint it.

Funny how we like modding and overclocking our vehicles too! I'd love to do Cobb stage 2 for my Saabaru...

BTW, just ordered some infrastructure for the pc. Apogee XT, triple rad, and Seasonic M12D 850w, to lay the foundation for future upgrades.

whau, temps...its ultra 3000rpm so good for aircooling? I dont install it to time (need motherboard)

Hey all was wondering what ever happened with this thread? just giving a bump....

[BeepBeep2]

Is it time for me to throw in another random IGP result?

[stangracin3]

Is it time for me to throw in another random IGP result?

me wants to see a result with the phenom at 800 MHz

[64NOMIS]

I believe it is time to do this. One last time.

[crazydiamond]

[Sn0wm@n]

this week end i should be able to drop in a couple of results on air to see how i can rivalise against h20 rigs

[beta]

let's do this

[Titan7171]

WooHoo!

I've got my rig pretty well dialed in anyway, and was getting a little bored...

Awaiting your orders, Cap'n Simon!

Im just gonna wing it......see how well I do

I hope there will be a sandbox for Thubanites to play in. I sold my c3 to upgrade.

If not, good luck everyone, and have fun!

[charged3800z24]

Finally!!!!

I am in... what's we's uh doin...

Me too Grinder....
I mean, C'mon, C3 is soooo old school.

Anyway, I really wanted a new 890FX board and I was tired of buying middle of the road stuff so I splurged and bought a CH4F. Unfortunately, that only left me enough money to get a 1055T....
The locked multi's have been a little challenging to say the least, but also fun in a sadistic kind of way.

Trying to balance things gets a little tricky. My chip has pretty strong cores and a decent IMC, but the board seems to freak out at anything over 305 HTRef.
My memory isn't top dollar either, but it will do pretty decent clocks if I loosen timings a bit, that only adds to the challenge...

Long Story Short... I decided to play with TurboCore to see where I could get the memory using SuperPi as a gauge.
I'm easily amused, but the results turned out pretty good considering it's just on water.



Yes... Thats 4.433 under turbo at decent V's!
These same clocks got me 15.507 secs on a 1m run. I'm not sure if it's 24/7 stable yet, but it seems close!

Not too shabby for AMD...

I have been running a few HTT tests today and thought I would give this thread a bump with some updated results (different hardware).

Directly below is about the best X10 CPU multi result I could get using the CHIII. This post was on 12-16-2009, 10:25 PM

The new 06 result is posted below the quote.

I flashed the 1204 bios for the Crosshair III and tried some different sticks of memory today. I then retried the 10 X multi tests; although the new bios or memory helped I still can’t get close to an HTT of 400. The bios will load up to 370 but it crashes loading Windows. I didn’t try upping the HTT in windows after running 3D06 at 10x368. I thought the system would be unstable when running 3D06 considering that it wouldn’t boot the OS at even one more click of the HTT but it just blew through it, NB and HT-link clocked up somewhat.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=12714538

Here are some of todays results.

I enabled LLC, disabled turbo-core and left most every other voltage setting on auto except ram which was set to 1.65v.

The Thuban/CHIVF combination shows an improvement in the X10 CPU multi test. The system will boot into Windows @366 HTT set in the bios. I use TurboV to up the HTT in windows. I ran wPrime 32 @402HTT but I didn't have time to test 3DMark06 @402HTT. I upped the HTT to 404 but the system crashed then rebooted.

I didn't test for high bench scores just the HTT on this latest hardware to compare to the older tested hardware. I just wanted to know the difference for myself.

I ran a lot of tests but I think I'll start a new thread for those.

Thuban/CHIVF
Corsair GT 2000 CL8
Windows 7 64-bit
chilled water CPU cooling

3DMark06


wPrime @402 HTT


wPrime @400 HTT Ram@CL6 NB@3200MHz (wPrime didn't appear to like the higher NB)

[crazydiamond]

wow 400htt, nice work. i wonder what tests we'll have to do. im thinking if we have to do 30min prime again, might be able to get ~4350mhz w/ 70f ambients got 4320mhz 1 hr blend stable @ 1.57v w/ little higher than 70f room, and this water can hold 1.6v i stopped testing htt @ 345 on my setup but it was blend stable, figured it was plenty htt for most guys w/ 1055 lol 4800mhz+

Sounds like you have done quite a bit of testing on your system.

400HTT was reasonably easy so maybe 14x400 on the 1055 for a 5.6GHz single core CPU-z run (dice)?

[theoldtimer]

I played with the HTT a little more today. I tried a bunch of different bios settings combinations but the highest HTT I could get with the old Thuban was 406 (10x406=4060MHz). I ran wPrime 32 and 3Dmark06, the 06 is posted below (1x5970 GFX card).




I swapped the old Thuban (week 08) for the newer one (week 21) to see if it would handle a higher HTT. I did handle more HTT, one more to be exact, for a total o 407HTT but it needed more vcore to get that one HTT. I ran wPrime 32 at the 407 which is posted below. I don’t know if getting the CPU colder would help get more HTT or not so I may try the week 21 chip under dice tomorrow?

Crazy ass htt there old timer

So was this a competition or just for fun thread? I never really got what was going on here ....

Kinda both, for me anyway.

In chapter 2 one of the challenges was to post your best 3dmark06 bench score using the X10 or X17 multiplier. I posted my new best X10 multi benching 3d06 above using the new hardware. I was just trying to show the improvement in the HTT clocks using the newer hardware.

[Daveburt714]

Wow those are awesome HT clocks OT!

For whatever reason I can hardly get over 300 with any kind of stability...

Maybe I should flash back to 0801 (never tested it much).

[FlanK3r]

OLDTIMER: HT link is impressive! Can u test winrar bench with this setings?

Dave the one thing that seemed to help with the higher HTT was to keep the HTL (HT link) and NB speed matched. Maybe I just got lucky hitting the settings the chips wanted but when I tried to boot with high HTT when the HTL was running at a lower speed than the NB it wouldn't boot. When I matched the speed it booted then when in windows turboV could take the HTT on up from there. This method worked on two different chips (thubans). I don't know if bios 801 is better than 905 for high HTT or not as I didn't try high HTT on 905?

OLDTIMER: HT link is impressive! Can u test winrar bench with this setings?

The CHIVF is off the bench now so I can't run that bench test right now but I have a CB-10 and CB-11.5 + other bench tests @High HTT I can post up if you want?
