hehehe, maybe we can add water cooling into the rules, but I think the advantage may be too big with the added uncore mhz it might allow. We can hash that detail out when the guys get the balls to come in this thread. :P

i dont mind running on air just idk when im going to have time to hook up the cooler lmao

and it should be better the the 980X cooler right ?

[Chuchnit]

Man......... all I have is the Intel stock POS

:ohcrap: I don't have a board, except my 24/7 beater

This is going to have clock limits. I just haven't decided on the mhz yet. ;) 24/7 beater should work as long as its an X58 platform.

i dont mind running on air just idk when im going to have time to hook up the cooler lmao

and it should be better the the 980X cooler right ?

Honestly I don't know anything about either cooler. I thought the new 980x cooler was actually usable vs the older ones? Once again this contest will be a low clock challenge of sorts. MHZ will have a reasonable restriction put on them. Cooling will still matter though because it will decide on the uncore you can pump out.

[Patch]

I don't have an air cooler and my 980x was OEM.......water would work, though.

[Splave]

I vote water :) or cap the uncore
+1 to cpu tweaker in pic, nice addition

[Splave]

also be prepared to explain any tweaks you used at the end of the contest for the betterment of the hive :)

[Hondacity]

i don't have air or water...i only have a coppoer pot :D

chuch what is the ruling on air conditioning? Cant be below 65F ambient? Or all you can get. No chilling with ln2 on radiators or HSF's

[Chuchnit]

I'm guessing water is gonna be a have to thing to get ok participation. Doesn't bother me any at all if that's what you guys want. :thumbsup:

I vote water :) or cap the uncore

I'm glad I wasn't able to respond when I first read this. At first I was all for it, but now I'm not so sure. I'm kinda 50/50 on capping the uncore too. If we do it, it needs to be atleast 4.2ghz maybe?

also be prepared to explain any tweaks you used at the end of the contest for the betterment of the hive :)

:good:

chuch what is the ruling on air conditioning? Cant be below 65F ambient? Or all you can get. No chilling with ln2 on radiators or HSF's

Well I think everyone needs to be reasonable here. I mean if you want to pay the power bill to pull your house down to 60f to bench then I don't have a problem with it. I think chilled air/water or pouring ln2 on the hsf kinda goes against the spirit of what we are trying to do here. If this was for some good prizes then I'd say go for it, but the goal here is to have fun and get everybody excited and active benching again; myself included. :)


Maybe we can add some cheap prizes later, but really I just want to have fun, talk some shit and learn some tweaks for pifast. :good: Now just wait till Kal gets in here. That guy can talk some smack. :rofl


@ Honda - what pot is that? Plus how many damn pots do you have? Please don't tell me you have as many pots as you do ram kits :D

[Hondacity]

lemme see i still have one pot coming from mr d8r...i can't remember his full nick :))

[Chuchnit]

Alrighty guys what do you think about this?

- Air/Water only
- No chilled water, force inducted chilled air cooling. If you want to bench in a 60f house then that's fine.
- CPU mhz cap at 4ghz?
- Uncore mhz cap at 4.2ghz? I'm 50/50 on this. 4.2ghz still leaves room for high ram clocks.

Tell me what you guys want so we can finalize the rules and adjust the dates. It has been discussed to maybe throw in a cheap VGA for HTPC or 2d benching usage. That's not final though.

[Witchdoctor]

I think cooling won't matter if it is capped at 4 Ghz

mem timings should be static as well ....

[Chuchnit]

I think cooling won't matter if it is capped at 4 Ghz

mem timings should be static as well ....

That is true if the uncore is capped too. If it's not then cooling matters a ton. We won't have any non sub-zero guys playing if they gotta go against someone with a ss and pushing 4.8ghz+ uncore.

I don't want to cap timings at all. I am curious what guys can find out about how pifast responds to certain timings. Think of this contest as a massive tweak and test session. :thumbsup: I know guys with hypers are going to have an advantage, but I think it could still be close. I'm gonna try finishing up some 32m testing tonight and then start on pifast in between 1156 testing. This month is starting to look like fun for me. :)

[Hondacity]

if speeds are capped can i use ln2? :D

[Chuchnit]

If everybody is cool with capping the uncore too then I don't see a problem with it. You sure you want to waist ln2 on a low clock challenge? Why not just buy a $50 cooler?

[Splave]

This is more of a tweakoff guys :) Bring out your most bad ass 2d OS, tweak the shit out of your ram and learn some new stuff.

[FACE]

sounds good, guys... I need to dust off all my shit and get everything mounted. I haven't even had my board plugged in since it got back from Cali.... :blink:

If we get enough subs together from this, we could get an efficiency calc together like supi, unless it already exists.. :thumbsup:

[Chuchnit]

Ok so like this now?

-CPU cap @ 4ghz sharp
-Uncore @ 4.2ghz sharp

There is an arbitrary deadline of Aug 7, but that is fluid for sure. This is all for fun and the learning experience anyways. :thumbsup: 4.2ghz is possible on air cooling for sure. Just not on every chip. I decided to have it there for the guys that can run high memory mhz. It puts the cap on the memory at 2100mhz.

[69_Goat]

It puts the cap on the memory at 2100mhz.

Not with Gulftown. GT bios on Classy only requires uncore to be 1.5x ram freq.

do you know where you can DL prioaff?

prioaff.exe doesn't work for Gulftowns and cpus with more than 2 cores .
It's hard though to set priority to pifast while it's running, actually it's impossible . That's why hipro modified it .

To set priority or affinity on your benchmarks you need to download Prifinity 2 .

Your CPU mhz can't be any higher than 4ghz and your uncore aka NB can't be higher than 4.2ghz. You can find that in the memory tab in cpuz.

Hey Splave, I noticed a couple issues in your screenshot.
CPU-Z is showing 6 GB or ram, but tweaker is only showing 2.
Also the RTL is showing 0, this indicates the cpu isn't recognizing all the ram. I had the same thing on my P6T. For me it was usually too little v-dimm.
Causes I know of are:
-Not enough v-dimm for the speed or timings
-Poor pin contact in the socket
-Bad IMC (God forbid)
-Moisture in the Dimm slots (I found this out today, it's really humid here)

The other thing is the refresh interval. I think this number should be lower. I believe it is determined by memory strap selection in the bios.
I'm not sure exactly what it's called. As soon as my board dries out, I'm gonna do some testing to find out how it is affected.

This is likely enough info for you to trounce my score quite handily.

I had a 20.98 run completed, only to notice my uncore was sitting at 4209. Bitch. :ohcrap:

[Kal-EL]

Guess I totally missed the "Call out" and this thread, Howdy Pi_Fast Thread, I see you now :P

I tried my 32m waza but with a 700mb maxmem and it did nothing. Maybe I need to try different sizes? LSC seems to do nothing other than make your runs more consisitant. Without LSC it was a crapshoot on my times.

This will be my current official submission. Man did I pick a crappy uncore speed. Makes it a bitch to keep the CPU and uncore at optimized speeds. I've got like 3 different runs at 21.00s at different multi/bclocks. Goofy little bench this is. Next it testing specific sub timings. :thumbsup:

BTW, none is still interested in pifast? :D

20.98

i get the crap out of the memory, the third module is pure sh*t and is making me crazy.
really you don't wanna know with what kind of crazy vdimm i feed this poor Kingston 2133 cas9 Elpida BDBG ICs based.
tRRD is 1, CPU-tweaker don't recognise it correctly.

guys, show me you backup and please someone tell me if the screenshot have all the required program. :)

p.s. you have tons of emoticons here, i never seen a forum with that much :eek:

[sofos1990]

hehe I'm still in the game :)

Uncore doesn't help that much :(

@Mafio : welcome :D

[Mafio]

hi sofos

damn 980x with unlocked multiplier :D
let me see if i can do better than 20.98

[Splave]

damn you guys are efficent huh? awesome numbers. Anything special done?

[Kal-EL]

I'm a full second behind in win7, hehe.

[Mafio]

damn you guys are efficent huh? awesome numbers. Anything special done?

uhm, nothing special here.
i've tighted as much as i can all the subtimings and adjusted the OS in a similar way of what i usually do for super-pi 32M. :)

20.97

is this SS valid?
you rules say 4000 mhz, i'm 4000.6

BTW not bad at all considering that i'm still using non hyper memories :D

@Kal-El: XP is da way :thumbsup:

[sofos1990]

I would like to post the following result later but I can't stand lol

This contest is very tempting and I like soooo much :D

http://i25.tinypic.com/33eiis6.jpg

That's the best I have for now ... couldn't do a better score after 2 hours of benching .

[Hondacity]

did you try playing with RTL?

nice score man

[69_Goat]

Outstanding scores, Guys !! :clapping:

I gotta try running this on the Asus board, the 1/2 bclk off with the classy
is ticking me off. :Dizzy:

Don't know if it will make any difference or not. :blink:

[Mafio]

did you try playing with RTL?

nice score man

not yet, but i don't expect to gain more than 0.01 or so

[Mafio]

backup is for gay, this is my best so far :D
kingston MGH-E-Hyper memories this time, BDBG are not fast enough

20.95

Wish I had my cpu back from RMA hope to have it back ti; the end of the week:D

Any special tweak you used ?

speed is again 4000.8 you were so close :) :p:

same tweaks as the precendent SS, i've only switched to better ram
i've also tried your version of pifast with high priority mode but doesn't give me better results than normal version

Hehe, its the finer details ;)

hey, mate, tell me if the SS is valid
your rule say "Clock Limits: CPU @ 4000mhz", i don't understand if 4000.* is ok :)

[Splave]

well you are over 4000 at 4000.1 technically ;)

[Mafio]

well you are over 4000 at 4000.1 technically ;)

uhm, seems that i need to rerun the benchmark :D

[Mafio]

i found something strange here
as you know in pifast CPU frequency is really important, 2 or 3 MHZ can make the difference.
BIOS doesn't give us the opportunity to set decimal BCLK, none of the motherboard now on the market leave you set 191.3 MHZ of BCLK from bios, you can set 191 or 192 (that maybe in some cases is 191.5 and 192.5 real).
the only method to set decimal BCLK is boot at certain frequency and then adjust it with setfsb.

i've done 2 screenshot with the time of 20.95, the first one booting at 191 MHZ of BCLK from bios, the second one booting at 190 MHZ.

http://forum.hwproject.net/imagehosting/thum_19984c507e79e8549.jpg ('http://forum.hwproject.net/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=10277')

before run pifast i opened setfsb and adjusted the BCLK to 190.5 MHZ (as you can see in CPUZ).
till this point all is ok, the strange thing is that CPU-tweaker (even if i opened it after i changed BCLK with setfsb) continue to show the BCLK used for the boot.
there is no way to make it recognise correctly.

i hope that at least one of those screenshots is valid :D

[Splave]

I get the same thing on rIIIe with cpu-tweaker :) all is good

[Hondacity]

been pifasting with i5-670 @ 3990 ..result is 23.45 seconds..i'll try the r3e today...

[Mafio]

20.94

http://forum.hwproject.net/imagehosting/thum_19984c517cceb3b6e.jpg (http://forum.hwproject.net/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=10280)

this contest is crazy addictive :D
i've raised by another notch the limit, this is probably the best i can do without killing something or put the memory under LN2 and go for cas 5 fun :D

[Hondacity]

wow your tWtp and tRTP are super tight

[Mafio]

if i want i could tight them a bit more but probably without gain nothing.
tRCD is what really make the difference :thumbsup:

[Hondacity]

yeah...what are your rams? gtx2? gtx1?

[Mafio]

yeah...what are your rams? gtx2? gtx1?

they are my good old Kingston HyperX 2000 cas8 MGH-E-Hyper ICs based

holy schmoly thats dfi x58 board....

Nice time there mate! :trophy: What OS are you running there? Any tweaks?

[Hondacity]

finally lynfield... 21.66seconds... i'll improve this time some more....

[DrNip]

Well here is mine. I got the shattiest RAM known to man kind at the moment. Not to mention this Asus Premium mobo doesn't play nice with high uncore.

youe un core is at 36xx ?

i ran mine at 1.5 qpi volt for 4200 on the mem uncore thats what it is right lol

[DrNip]

Yep. Dunno, just wasn't jiving. I'll give it a whirl again later.

[BenchZowner]

Can I beat sofos's score with his hardware in just 1 hour or so ( have to setup windows, tweak 'em, etc ) ? :D

[Hondacity]

of course you can....numero uno spot is still up for grabs

[BenchZowner]

Just finishing my RAM checkup.
Looks like 2 of my A-data DIMMs are still alive and working properly on sofos's rampage.
I have some weird behavior with those on the classified though, F3->F6->F3->b8->b9->power_off -> re-cycle.

Anyway, I shall be back in 1 hour or so with a screenshot :D

[Kal-EL]

its going on 2 hours now :P

[BenchZowner]

I said I "shall" be back in 1 hour.
I spent some more time testing sofos's RAM's as well :D
Currently trying out a few new ideas.
I shall have something to post in a few mins

[BenchZowner]

Sorry sofo :D

http://www.abload.de/img/best_pifastja91.jpg

At the exact same settings sofo used I think I had 20.96s.
I might try the same thing on the classified tomorrow, got a feeling that it'll be faster ;)

[Chuchnit]

Sick BZ!! What memory and what vdimm :D

[sofos1990]

lol can my mems do this on air ? ! Nice :D:D
It's the new kit I got back from RMA so I had never tried to find out the limits :D
Keep them coming Bill !

[Hondacity]

very nice indeed...i guess my h55 can't beat that :D

[BenchZowner]

Sad thing is that my mems can't do tCL6 anymore even at just DDR3-2000 ( used to do DDR3-2050 6-7-5-20 ) :(

Going to switch to the classified setup in a bit and try to get a better time :p

[Mafio]

Nice time there mate! :trophy: What OS are you running there? Any tweaks?

IIRC XP 32bit with italian language.
i din't tweak too much the OS, i used only LSC and theme (don't make any difference but i don't like 98 theme :D )

Sorry sofo :D

good run, but i still faster with lower RAM and Uncore frequency :D

[BenchZowner]

Not if I run the bench with a better OS, tweak it more, and use the faster mobo ( classified E760 ) instead of the rampage :p [ I also have a small CPU frequency disadvantage if I remember well too :D ]
