Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club

[coolhandluke41]

the testing for this club needs to have better rules so that all systems are tested equally.

Ht on vs ht off?
Sandry bridge sp1 linx avx or older?

Make sure you guys use the latest Linpack, Intel released a new library set dated 2/3/11.

Nice find, I updated the link in the OP.

What's your suggestion, then?
I can't think of any way to verify that AVX is being used.
The only thing I can think of is splitting the 5GHz club into "Over 100 GFlops" and "Under 100 GFlops".
But can a 5GHz i7 2600K with HT enabled produce more than 100 GFlops using the latest (10.3.2.005) Linpack?
I can't afford purchasing SB any time soon, so please test this instead of just bumping the thread. Thank you.

my apology for suggestion and "bumping" your thread

Nah, no need. It's OK.
The idea is good, but it's execution that's being the problem.
Not much I can do until I find a solution.
I am looking into the GFlops thing, perhaps it'll work out.

I just downloaded those and I still do not get higher than 73 gflops at 5.1

SP1 is installed as well, so I am stuck any ideas?

Configure LinX to run on 4 threads only. This should increase stress levels (slightly) and improve GFlops output (significantly).
And yeah, that's valid (for SB only, though).

I have some very helpful members giving me feedback right now, and it looks like this scenario might be the way to go for SB testing.
Still investigating, though.

Interesting temps are much higher at the same voltage and it is the first time I have seen over a 100 gflops.

Whats weird is that the cpu is only under about 54% load and yet the temps are higher and the gflops are over the 100's.

[zalbard]

It's not really 54%, it's just not using HT. It is pretty much maxed out.

almost there, I just can't believe the temp difference

either way it is cool to see 120 gflops



so in other words HT is still bugged with this release?

LinX 10.3.2.005 still produce the same GFlops for both HT on and off thus the same temps as the former version.

I have problem with stable my cpu i7 980x 4.5Ghz. These are my settings in BIOS:
Cpu vcore: 1.435V
Cpu Vtt: +300mV
Dim voltage: 1.65V
Ich Vcore: 1.1V

What do I need to change that my cpu stable?Please help

[Ace.]

Batch from the CPU for the List is L050A863 plz edit it thx

Asrock P67 Extreme4
Air on Thermalright Silver Arrow

hope i got it right this time lol

Great job zsams. Awesome run

[zsamz_]

Great job zsams. Awesome run

thanks bud

goin subzero makes it so easy

[zalbard]

Great effort, everyone! Keep pushing!

hope i got it right this time lol

Now that's a proper run! Time to say "Damn, that's awesome!"

Please read the rules. You need to take a screenshot while LinX is still running.

Done!

Play with CPU PLL, IOH PLL (can undervolt these); may also need more QPI PLL. Try PCIE @ 101MHz. Play with CPU Impendance and QPI Signal Compensation if you have these available.

@ everyone:
Rules haven't changed in regards to using all the memory you've got.
You don't need more than 1GB of memory for OS and applications. Enable Page File. Do a short LinX run to free up some RAM. I don't want to see 2GB LinX runs with 4GB of RAM installed any more.
Thanks.

Also... I have addressed the AVX issue, I think. Please refer to the OP.

And the last thing... Need a colour to highlight Asrock boards. Suggestions, please?
An option would be to use Orange for Asrock and DarkOrange for ASUS... But I am not sure I like it...

This time with SP1 / AVX enabled.
I can tell that LinX w/ AVX is really intense... 160W, just insane as you can see on temps too :\ also had to bump vcore up a good amount... just gross

You need another color for Asrock though... hard to distinguish from Asus!

[zalbard]

Nice run! Added, and you're currently #1 out of 1 submission(s)!

Yeah, I know...
Care to suggest one? I am out of ideas.

Thank you
Just compared temps.. 75°C max vs 92°C max - just sick

Yeah, I know...

This is a list of colors you used, hope I didn't miss one...

Foxconn BloodRage
Gigabyte P67A-UD5
MSI Big Bang-XPower
DFI LP UT X58-T3E8H
Biostar TP67XE
EVGA Classified E760
ASUS P8P67 WS

Possible colors for Asrock could be:
EVGA Classified E760
Asrock P67 Extreme4 - darkgoldenrod
ASUS P8P67 WS

EVGA Classified E760
Asrock P67 Extreme4 - sienna
ASUS P8P67 WS

EVGA Classified E760
Asrock P67 Extreme4 - indianred
ASUS P8P67 WS

I like sienna best out of those three Readable and slightly distinguished from the rest.

[zalbard]

Looks good, thanks! I'll wait a bit for some more feedback and go with the most popular option.
Also, could someone please add the following tags to the thread: "5ghz" and "100gflops"? I reached my limit, unfortunately.

[crossg]

@ zalbard
Already did the 5GHz + 100 Gflops with my good chip. Here. My second chip will do it but not on air. Third loop in Linx "4C 4T bios" was already 95 deg @1.44+.Vcore

And people are telling about Sandy Bridge running so cool...
I think we've found the new 'difficulty barrier' which is 5GHz with AVX on to replace the old one (4.5GHz for 45nm chips). I'm kind of glad about it, 5GHz seemed a bit easy-mode and not worth bothering with a club for without AVX. Now the challenge is officially back!

Bump for this! More feedback before I go with "sienna" option, please.

Bump for this also.

It's brought back to life and replaced your current non-AVX submission. Nice job, and thanks for pointing it out!

[zalbard]

Sorry for the double post, but it's worth it!
We have a new Club logo thanks to our own member oZZy_tv! It's updated for 5GHz Club, uses a fitting Intel's font, and has an improved colour scheme!
Check out the OP.
