[dinos22-Team.AU] Bench session with E8500 > W.R. Superpi 32M, wPrime 32M & 1024M

[dinos22]

Team.AU strikes again!!!

First of all big thanks to k|ngp|n for making such an awesome LN2 pot >> namely F1 Extreme Edition. If you guys haven't got one go buy it cause it kicks ass

Had a fun benching session today and it seems i nailed some dual core world records here (correct me if i'm wrong pls )

Thanks to Kosta for lending me his board and RAM sticks

Note: both air and LN2 max benchable FSB was 596-600MHz
i've tried everything except LN2 on NB which will probably help a little but it's just very very odd

Test Configuration:
Asus P5B DLX DDR2 Motherboard (1226 bios) FULLY VMODDED
**1.8vcore, 2.44vdimm, 1.80vMCH, 1.8vSB, vdroop/drop pencil mod**
Intel Core2 Duo E8500 Q745A703
2GB DDR2 Corsair Dominators
2GB DDR2 Crucial Ballistix
PCI Express Nvidia 8400GS
620W Corsair PSU
Swiftech copper heatsink on NB
kingpin F1 Extreme Edition Solid copper CPU LN2 Pot
Big mamma 35L LN2 Dewar
80GB SATA Hard Drive + 160GB PATA
Windows XP Pro 32bit + PATA Dual boot XP Pro/Vista Ultimate 32-bit

i mentioned screen not refreshing in the second part >> changed to PATA drive and it went away





W.R. for dual cores for both 32M & 1024M wPrime
32M time: 13.479s
1024M time: 7m 04.585s






W.R. for dual cores for 32M SuperPi
32M time: 8m 31.047s




............some of you guys say Windows Vista is slow for SuperPi
hehehe ARE YOU SURE
didn't use maxmem no wazza here
normal Vista services all running



I ran into some stability problems, changed the drive and benched wPrime but forgot to redo this test at higher speed >> would have had the record on this as well



I ran into some stability problems, changed the drive and benched wPrime but forgot to redo this test at higher speed >>> sub 8s on the next session i think




LN2 PREPARATION












AIR COOLED TESTING







596MHz 8M SuperPi stable

NO CHANGE IN FSB on LN2
with the right board this CPU will benchmark at 6GHz








QUICK RAM TESTING 2.44-2.48vdimm (tried 2.5/2.54v at 650MHz 8M to see how it responds to volts bumps >> basically all good )

woah congrats Dinos

Asus P5B DX FTW

32M at 8min 31s @5700Mhz with only 1.752v vcore !

[M.Beier]

And E8500 still isnt avalible in Europe I belive - atleast not in Denmark...

Aint life a b.tch...

Awesome result dino

EDIT:
Vista..? :S
32M doesnt hurt from it???

[hiwa]

P5b DX rules

[lukas69]

Amazing 32M for dualcore
great score

[dinos22]

thanks guys

woah congrats Dinos

Asus P5B DX FTW

32M at 8min 31s @5700Mhz with only 1.752v vcore !

hey George
this CPU can bench Pi at lower vcore
i just used higher value as insurance if i figured out FSB just in case

just could not pass 600FSB
VERY ODD
maybe i'll try a different bios or something

[n3wbi3]

Well done dino
Putting australia on the map of oc

TeamAu well done guys

[xwards]

nice benches

[dinos22]

tapakah just uploaded a better score on 32M SuperPi
so i guess it's #2 spot for the moment

[nikolas61]

good job

Amazing results Dinos

[Misko]

Nice results Dino , ram couldn't go cl4 for 32M?

[T_M]

Great stuff mate

[THC]

Wicked results guys

Keep pushing it

[dinos22]

thanks guys

Misko >> yeah Balllistix are CAS5 sticks
they are at CAS4

dominators kick ass at CAS4 up to 640-650 depending on vdimm but i was losing a few MHz FSB with them so changed over to Ballistix

donno why but both Corsair and CEllshock were losing me some FSB :S

[SF3D]

That 32M is really good. Other results are not that bad either.

[giampa]

insane 32M
it's a pity for cas 5....

great runs...

[dinos22]

wow thank you SF3D and giampa
your results are always VERY VERY nice
shame i don't have the FSB i need to give you a hard time

[Charles Wirth]

Grats, good stuff Dinos, love all the pictures.

[dinos22]

thanks mate

[g1raffe]

Congrats on the WR's. Nice work dinos22.

[EnJoY]

Dinos, awesome!!! Love the photos mate.

[dinos22]

thanks guys

in case anyone interested i used these bios settings

CPU settings are as follows:
- Ratio: 9.5
- C1E: Disabled
- CPUID: Disabled
- Vander: Disabled
- CPU Tm: Disabled
- Ex Disable Bit: Disabled
- Speedstep: Disabled

North Bridge settings:
- Remap Disabled - Disabled
- Timings: AUTO (best results for FSB & very tight subtimings interestingly enough)
- Static: Disabled


BIOS details:

Voltages:
- AI: Manual
- CPU Freq: 500MHz
- DRAM: 1000MHz 1:1
- PCIe: 105
- PCI: 33.3
- Spread Spectrum: Disabled
- RAM Volts: 2.35v (I had voltmods so real volts were 2.44-2.48)
- CPU Volts: 1.7v (Added rest through trimpot)
- FSB: MAX VALUE
- NB: MAX VALUE (1.8v via voltmod)
- SB: MAX VALUE
- ICH: Auto

volts were all tested individually and combined to get the best FSB results


BEST Combo of bios values for Max FSB and performance i needed (i actually wanted max FSB but after testing different things performance was good too for superpi)

[diezel]

awesome !! Congrats on the WR's

[Gautam]

Hehehe Vista ain't too shabby after all...5700 at 1.75v is nuts. You'da docked a sub-8 1M for sure if you could use one of the old bioses if it weren't for the 9.5x. :-/

Great runs.
