For sure. You guys are killing it! God I hope I can compete with you guys with my 2GB of RAM, Core i3 550 and GIGABYTE miniITX H55N-USB3! I'm willing to catch some shit on fire trying! ROFl

Somebody got bit by the bug again :D

Somebody got bit by the bug again :D


Got that right. Tired of being the captain of the sidelines and watching everybody score. Been almost a year since I left the benching scene. Have a feeling I'll be picking up one of Vince's new pots within the month. Plan on doing some extensive 2D benching soon as 3D gets to be too expensive.



Question, why are you guys running with 6GB of RAM on a 32bit OS? I mean I've read guys say you get better runs but is there in factual evidence behind this or would you be better off pulling out a stick?

Been using Tiny XP but don't have a 64 bit version...anyone have a source?

[rickss69]

Fierce competition for sure. Keep pushing it guys.


P.S. Rick that pi run is pretty sick. No more bs talk about how you suck at super pi.

I still suck at it...I'm behind aint I? :taunt:

I have XP 64 bit version but not the tiny version. Dunno if it exists. Punx swore by XP 64 bit being better in SuperPi awhile back.

Ya 3D isn't cheap and I think 2d if more fun. :) Glad to have you back buddy. I told Kal you were real close to getting back at it. You just had to get a couple "cased" builds under your belt first.

Because the 2GB density modules have been shown to be more efficient than 1GB modules. Plus triple channel is faster than dual. Doesn't really matter once you use maxmem anyways.

[DrNip]

You going to get in on some of this action Chuchnit? I tried with my AMDer but it blows balls when it comes to benching against Intel. I just pray this RAM gets here by Saturday as I will be out of town Sunday and Monday for the holiday. Want to get at least a good run or two in. Otherwise it will all have to wait until Tuesday!!!

[Chuchnit]

Ya I'm competing, but just got to find the time. I'll have something up this week.

[rickss69]

Going to try the retail XP 64 PRO and will let you know the difference between Tiny XP. Making minor nudges now...no major moves.

Fired this POS EVGA Micro mobo up just to find out there is not one option to overclock!!! Went ahead and ordered a new mobo for this contest. Hopefully I don't fall too far behind the next two days because I won't be up and running Intel until Friday now. :(

Updated my post at the compo.... Time to start dialing in headshots!

:ohcrap:

[Kal-EL]

Brutal!

[FACE]

might be seeing some blood coming out of my underware though...

Raid screen after post is starting to show errors now, and adjusting timings is turning the ram into shaky pudding.... I would love to get these timings down to 5-5-5-15, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I'd rather the chip or the mobo go down instead of the ram... These things are epic ;) Here's to hoping!

[Dentlord]

Nip if you need a board I have 3 sitting here you can use (760, 762, r3e) as well as spare 980x or 920.

Just saying I'm 10 minutes away if you need anything, or just wanna bench for the bot!

[kikicoco1334]

can someone look at my score real quick? i have no idea what the hell am i doing wrong.. on my superpi bench the timing is 7-8-8-24 and my pifast bench is 7-8-7-24 and when i use 7-8-7-24 on superpi it's alot slower

[Kal-EL]

Your pi_fast is looking good coco, play with your sub-timings for the 1m.

[Chuchnit]

All I wanna know is where all this "I suck at super pi" talk has come from all this time? The scores are strong and its just the beginning. Hell I was confident in placing top 2 in this before it started. Now I'll be happy with top 5. Plus the scores are bound to get even better as we keep pushing it. Just to let all you fookers who say I know alot about pi, best I've got in early testing is 1m 42.xxx. I'll get in the 1m 30s range, but its gonna take some work.


No more saying you suck at super pi for anybody who has submitted a score so far. :smackbum:

Andre Yang is banned from Hwbot for 1 year because he made fake benchmarks for a few people and they submitted them for a contest. Futuremark busted their asses. Andre is taking his licks/suspension but will be back with a fury when its done ;)

damn that sux!
back in the days i looked up to him so much, i though he was like the best overclocker ever!


but yeah about my os i didn't do anything to it at all... all i ever did was never install any updates (i think you people know why :D) and all the icon on there was the software that's in that comptuer other than a virtual software DAEMON virtual CD that's all
then before i started the bench i killed all the things i didn't need in MSCONFIG that's all

so what are you guys talking about the yang's win7 magic?

Can't seem to go any lower on multi/mem speed and still boot into windows... :Dizzy:

he's using Rev9 XP iirc, no themes other the defaults :ohcrap:

[Chuchnit]

luna is a default theme. Unless themes were removed during nlite??

[DrNip]

I never got better runs using the luna theme back in my SuperPi benching days. Everybody says it is better. Maybe it was because of the OS I was using.

[ReverendMaynard]

luna is a default theme. Unless themes were removed during nlite??

it was removed, by default I mean no theme, just the 98 look.

Nip, benching on Olive has always been better but cycling the themes is where it's at. Check splave's notes, he's tested it extensively with consistent results.

[Splave]

rickster here is the folder you need to unzip to C:Windows folder and overwrite all files
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/Resources.zip
Enable the themes service and reboot, you should be able to choose now

Update post #7 - http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/showthread.php?p=52804#post52804

I may not win this competition but my SPI confidence and capabilities are certainly bolstered. It is worth at least that much as I once hated even the name of that benchmark. As it stands now I am even beginning to like the damn thing. :thumbsup:

+1 on that, Rick. I have never read up so much on how to spend so few moments of my life. Tons of fun when applying a tweak and it works, but it pisses me off to no end when a "tweak" yeilds no positive results... apparently there are a lot of them.

.... oh, and got a decent run in last night. Will update later when I have time (if I get time) at work. It's supposed to be storm tonight, and I'm a fair-weather bencher, so you guys get a break from my madness for a night... well, unless the weather man is lying to me to give one of you an edge... :laughing:

[Kal-EL]

Can't wait till the end of this compo when you guys write up your comprehensive guide on what works and what doesnt work. That'll be a success!

[thebanik]

Had to reinstall a few times tonight maxing out uncore and timings... pita...

Didn't make the deadline for subs tonight, but I'll hopefully have something tomorrow. :thumbsup:

is this a confirmed working tweak? Install windows with overclocked system? Never really understood the logic hence never tried.......

Try installing with just 1 stick of ram, then add your other sticks later. You'll see how much slower your os is for everything. Don't know why, but I've seen this happen a couple times.

Yup! Got the Olive theme. I think its churches OS from the FTP which boots default into olive. I use the benchtech tools for tweaking.

Most you guys are probably doing this but for those that arent
-clear off your desktop of junk (like face :) )
-try moving around where you are running the bench from on your HDD ;)
-manual wazza is about .3s faster than OCX pi tweaker so if you learn to do it the hard way you will be rewarded.
-Sub timings sub timings sub timings, get your butt into CPU tweaker and start lowering them till you freeze!
-XP olive is the only way as just stated
-background services, large system cache
-try different motherboard bios'
-think outside the box, anyone try cas 5?
-16bit and low res, not sure it will help

i thought about dropping to 2:6 to try for cas5 or 4.... going to try that next.

logically it should because of its lower access times but dont know practically it helps or not....(since Ram Disks have been proven by others to not help SuperPi 32m hence not sure)

[FACE]

I was told this a long time ago about ramdisk and pi

...RamDisk doesn't work well for Spi because in order to use it, you trade off from actual ram size for the ramdisk size... in 32bit the are so many adresses - blah blah blah (how memory works and irql talk). On 64bit you might be able to use ramdisk with some positive results, but the same basic memory rules apply..

[Neuromancer]

I use fast stone.

But thats because I usually have a limited install of winFLP and it does not come with paint and even when you add it only saves in BMP anyway.

So fast stone works. Load it after a run (very small and light) hit print screen and I get a jpg saved in my pictures (default is PNG).

I also am having OS install issues now after the server 2003 I grabbed off the FTP server does not work with other enterprise keys or something... so I found one of my old disks and it crashed and borked the XP install.

Now I am having optical drive issues!!!

cuz when doing an install on raid you need the raid drivers on a floppy right ?

sick score to lose, rick. You are teetering on the edge... I love it.

Going to start pushing again tomorrow to see if I can't join you there. :ohcrap:

I have to say that this is most def. a much needed learning experience for me. We are all going to be taking home some real tools for success after all is said and done and the tweaks, tips, and tricks are laid out. I know I will never be able to just run a pi bench again.... even if the chip is crap. :laughing:

Dom... if you break the raid you will be fine, but if you do anything to either of the hdd's the data is goners.... create an image of the install before you do anything. or just back up the irreplaceable data. movies, music and stuff like that can be gotten later if space is an issue. Back up your pics, docs and shit that can't be replaced and you'll be golden. :thumbsup:

No I made the mistake of trying to install OS when overclocked.

Causes issues with USB/PATA devices.

Well 4400 MHz CPU 1600+ mem at 6-6-6 does at least.

Dropped to stock and no more issues.

hmmm...dont have PATA drives hence cant say but otherwise full 4.5Gh CL6 install, nothing borked, except ofcourse less than stellar scores, :laughing:

[rickss69]

Just a friendly reminder :

When you update a score remember to type "updated" beside your name.

There should only be three pictures in your submission at any given time. (PiFast, SPI 8M and your rig pic)

When you update your scores do the math...enter the correct times and total for your current submissions.

Be certain you have the desktop background in all of your entrys.

Failure to adhere to these rules will result in your submission being denied or put on hold. (per RomDom) :good:

I have a little issue here with the clocks reported by CPUZ. I mean I have see this before but never worried to much since there was no clock limit. Well I run 214x21 which in my book is 4494.

I use 215 multi and it shows slightly over 4.5GHz in bios but cpu-z reports 4498MHz. When I use 214 multi cpu-z shows 4480MHz.

No I made the mistake of trying to install OS when overclocked.

Causes issues with USB/PATA devices.

Well 4400 MHz CPU 1600+ mem at 6-6-6 does at least.

Dropped to stock and no more issues.

hmmm..
that may be my prob

i just can not get the usb to work

214 shows 4482 for me and 215 shows 4503.7 :s

I broke the 1 minute 40 second mark already but could not get a valid screenshot because of that :(

[kikicoco1334]

Just a friendly reminder :

When you update a score remember to type "updated" beside your name.

There should only be three pictures in your submission at any given time. (PiFast, SPI 8M and your rig pic)

When you update your scores do the math...enter the correct times and total for your current submissions.

Be certain you have the desktop background in all of your entrys.

Failure to adhere to these rules will result in your submission being denied or put on hold. (per RomDom) :good:

got it! :good:

[Witchdoctor]

Like Splavestick said! Use SetFSB. You will be able to adjust it a little more for a screenie.

[MaadDaawg]

Shit, just typed a nice long intro, then didn't save it - DOH

Anyway, not sure if this is where to post so if it's not, please could a mod move them for me. More bad news is my fastest pifast I saved as a bpm file that's over 5MB and, ummm, kinda won't fit :thumbdown:

So, I'll post the mandatory rig shot. I'm starting with an x58 762/980x with chilled water. I'm still reading on superpi cause I'm such a S-Pi NOOB it's not even funny hopefully I'll get it in time to grab all the prizes at the end of the contest

So now I'll post the rig pics and my next fastest pifast, and look to get a Superpi up by the end of the night :P

[Kal-EL]

Yah, this isn't the submit thread CrazyDaawg, but before we do any moving, I have an idea, open your screenshot (bmp) file and take a screenshot of the screenshot and save as JPEG. That should get you motor running.

Then look in the Contest section, the link is upper left on the sidebar ;)

[Splave]

^or just open it in paint, save as, and change the file system on the bottom to jpg :)


PS come at me bros! :eek:
