Dadgum water block keeps springing a leak on me and I can't figure out why. I'm going to have to get another before continuing...:deadhorse:

Aahh...forgot about having this one. Believe it or not it works just as well as any of them. :)

Still no RAM here. Ordered another Super Talent stick so I'll have 4GB by ends week. The Munchkin's I have just won't cut the mustard. Another day gone by wasted for me.

how is supertalent vs others like ocz people like that how is there service and product?
are they really good or just so so :Dizzy:

i been told different things

[DrNip]

Dunno. 1st time going with them. The 1st stick should be here tomorrow.

[Witchdoctor]

Which one's did you get ?

make sure post something on here about it =) :thumbsup:
let the guys know about it

No RAM can bench pifast. 600 - 1000 MHz makes not 1 second difference not 6 or 9 cas


TBH I am wonderign why there is such a differnce in scores once OS is tweaked its all CPU speed.

Back in my 775 days I had better success with dropping the Mult and raising the FSB.



Shaved a sec off time. Can't wait to get some better sticks.

Yeah thats what I have been working on too... on X58 :) (237x19 anyone? lol)

Tried 2 sticks of RAM so I could clock higher... dual channel loses almost 2 seconds. Tried disabling link fast QPI mode (supposed to drop it to 12X multi??) nope lost 4 seconds.

I am going to run pifast a couple more times tonight, and then call it quits... and see if I can break 1.40 on superpi.

I have tweaked pifast before, but I either maxed my tweaks already or am missing something obvious.

Nice run ....

[FACE]

Yes, pifast is indeed an ugly wench... I found that most of the tweaks for Spi hurt pifast... ram helps, but it has to be an almost absolutely perfect balance of timings, including those retarded no-name subtimings.. :laughing:

quit working on the why's and who's of pifast since rick rolled me up and smoked me on Spi 8m, but if I can get close enough, I will be back on it and raping it once again... :thumbsup:

*hint hint... how big is your screen? try different sizes for pifast. ;)

Interesting...

I managed to knock a full .1 second off my initial pifast run, but no more than that. Think I will be cracking 1.40 8M tomorrow night when I get home... played around with wazza last night till about 4AM, needs 3-4 transfers of 4.5GB to make it effective. I found though, that hitting run 3-4 times on spitweaker and then cancelling it out does the same thing. So hopefully can save my SSDs :)

managed to pull high 1.40.xxx with only 3.4GHz uncore last night. Hoping the 4.2+ wazza will help me break it.

Only one thing left to try and I do not think that it will make 2+ seconds differnce.

Lan was out at the end of the runs so I re-booted to put at defaults so I could submit...she refused to boot again. This may have been her last hurrah but it sure made my day! :D

Going to try to get it to boot again and re-run...just to make sure it wasnt a fluke or bugged. :thumbsup:

looking at your results...you didn't set maxmem...920s can definitely play with the 980s...also your 448x isn't optimize....use a different multi...

[Neuromancer]

looking at your results...you didn't set maxmem...920s can definitely play with the 980s...also your 448x isn't optimize....use a different multi...

That is because maxmem was not helping on that install.

New install last couple of days using XP and maxmem... it makes a differnce on XP, but still having trouble beating my FLP times. I am not home tonight, will give it more of a shot tomorrow night.

[rickss69]

No go on the boot yet. I will fool with it some more...been having the same problem last couple days with different mb's, memory and cpu's. Unsure if I am killing hardware or something else. Only thing I have not tried is a different psu.

[Splave]

what kinda ram volts you using?

[rickss69]

what kinda ram volts you using?

1.74 - I have noticed it takes a lot more vcore/vtt for me to boot into XP than most others...could that be a sign of a psu losing it's mojo? I just find it odd that I am having the same problem with other mb's and chips as well. :Dizzy:

[Hondacity]

vcore? vtt? what is your 12v rail measurement? mine is steady @ 12.10 :D i love my psu....

anyways rams could be culprit these hypers are super sensitive...

also the removable heatsinks on the dominators....are ok..but the thermal pad they use is too thin...i had to use my own thermalpads so they have good contact....

[rickss69]

Same problems with different ram tho Honda. I have not taken any measurements on the psu...it is the same PC Power & Cooling 1200 I have had forever.

[Hondacity]

980x with 1.528v is too much for air/water .....instant degrade...

during bootup....psu isn't stressed much....with aircooling settings..

nice you have good sticks, thats not too much volts for ram :) if its doing the same thing with different chips and boards it must to be the chips or boards :thumbsup: psu and ram are the only possibilities really.

you are using to much vcore for the 980x though stay under 1.5v unless you start tossing icecubes in

[rickss69]

I am so stupid! :argh: It has been the psu all along...plugged in the Antec and she took off like a rocket. Here is a follow up run to show the first wasnt a fluke. :thumbsup:

Me so horny that 980X lives! :rofl

[Hondacity]

good thing i never bought that turbocool1200...fukcing expensive and ocz doesn't have money for rma'ing that..lol

i suggest antec hcp1200 :D

[HITandRUN]

Looks like Rick is rolling hot and it will take a 980X to beat his 980X in SPI. I think I might can squeeze some PiFast passt him (had a low 18.6ties) but no fucking way I can do better than his 980X. :Dizzy: Pretty sad! :ohcrap:

Been running all this time at 1.74 - why all of a sudden does it need more? Relaxing all the sub-timings seems to make no difference...I even deleted/re-installed the bench to no avail.

delete the spi folder completely?

Deleted everything and started fresh...I will have to pick this up later as it's time for me to go to work. Hit it hard folks! :good:

Wow. Stick of RAM came in and I'm guessing its not compatible with my mobo. Sad thing its I ordered another one that will be here in a few days. Looks like I dropped $170 for nothing. Maybe the stick is just bad and the next one will work. Time to play another waiting game. Sure was wanting to get in on this contest but won't be able too.

[Hondacity]

the ram stick didn't boot?

mobo? bios?

[DrNip]

Computer turns on and stays on. Nothing but black screen. Shut her down, pop in my Mushkin and everything is fine. BIOS is set to default. Even tried going into the BIOS with the good stick of RAM and setting the volts to 1.65, timings loose and set to 1333. No luck.

MOBO - GIGABYTE GA-H55N-USB3
RAM - Super Talent 2133 cas 8
BIOS - The Latest & Greatest

Gigabyte's website shows RAM being supported up to 2400 but not by Super Talent. This is the 1st time I have ever experienced anything like this. Usually when I run into RAM problems I get the dreaded beeps. Dunno if that applies to non compatible RAM.


EDIT: I quit computers. Going to go lay down and lick my wounds.

Well I powered it on and let it run. After about 30 seconds it powers off and powers back on. It will continue on this endless loop as long as I will let it. Now I'm going to lay down and rest my neck. Good luck to all. Later.

[Hondacity]

endless loop means the bios is in stupid mode....clear cmos with a flat screw driver...while power is off at the psu...

[DrNip]

Cleared CMOS, pulled battery, etc. No luck.

[Splave]

which slot you using

[DrNip]

which slot you using

Tried both. Doesn't matter what slot as either or worked with my Mushkin. Can't call it. Will know more when the other stick arrives. Come Thursday I will try this stick out on the HTPC when the wife is at work to see if it is the stick or the MOBO. :D

Updated my times! I got no chance with my ram getting anywhere in SPI but I swear to god that by tomorrow I have a PiFast run ready to take the first spot. I hope you doods don't have backups and let the little guy enjoy himself for a day or two. I have been banging on this PiFast for days now to the point where I developed a sick love relationship to the BSOD! :D

I got a high 18.6X score and didnt save because I wanted to run it again when it BSOD'd on me, and after restart even with the same timings the scores are like a few .0X off, cant really say I have learned anything about pifast optimisation in this past week sadly, :laughing:

I have exactly zero tweaks for Pifast Banik. I don't even know if any exist for that stupid bench...it has just been blind luck for me so far with no rhyme or reason to it. :blink:

Lol! I just noticed that last run I made scored exactly the same as my top score from this afternoon...she sure is consistant.

[HITandRUN]

PiFast has been pure speed and timings for me. The faster you can get it all tuned in the better the score. That's it. I have no tweaks what so ever for this bench either. All I say is sub timings, sub timings! ;)

[DrNip]

Well I popped the Super Talent stick in my AMD build and a no go on that either. Submitted a RMA. It has been the year of RMA for me. :(

[Kal-EL]

Bummerz Travis, you've been getting hit with the rma blues more this year than ever :P

[DrNip]

Its alright man. I just hope I get some RAM that will allow let to compete in this competition at least one day! If not oh well. I'll sit back and watch. I'm kinda scared of how their RMA service might be.

Your just damn lucky I ain't running full speed, lol. :D

If I vary the sub timings much or even touch some of them now it means instant death lol. I have not given up yet, but I need to put some thought into my next move.

^ loose some processes! diagnostic boot mode + theme service is great. manual wazza already and break into 36 you stubborn bastage!

^ loose some processes! diagnostic boot mode + theme service is great. manual wazza already and break into 36 you stubborn bastage!

Lol - When I go diagnostic I lose the ability to cycle the themes. What am I doing wrong there? I still don't get that manual wazza...you know how hard headed I am. :taunt:

[Splave]

haha, diagnostic boot mode, then while your in msconfig go to the services tab and check mark themes. It will then change to selective startup mode on its own, you can then do your maxmem etc as usual

Thanks to Splave for that diagnostic/theme fix that I have been battling! Thats what I like most about this...learning new things everytime I bench. :thumbsup:

Now to tackle that manual wazza...

[HITandRUN]

1. sync mode: disabled
2. memory configuration protect: disabled <---this might be IT

This --> "memory configuration protect: disabled" did the trick. Thank you for pointing this out.

Its alright man. I just hope I get some RAM that will allow let to compete in this competition at least one day! If not oh well. I'll sit back and watch. I'm kinda scared of how their RMA service might be.

STT has pretty fast RMA. I bought a kit of Project X 1800 C7's (old micron D9s) and they borked after 17 months. Email response was pretty fast, and they shipped replacement same day my sticks arrived.:thumbsup:

[rickss69]

I am sure I am doing this manual wazza wrong. While I was able to get super_pi_mod.exe down to 36K mem usage it took me about 12 minutes to go through the process. I just copy/paste the wazza folder between drives C/D? :Dizzy:

Ended up with another 1.37.063 run so I guess I didnt do any harm. :blush:

[kikicoco1334]

not worth trying..those are the small tec.... the i920 is double the heat...your setup will be warmer than a regular venomousX

they're not ssd...if you look closely there are rams on those gigabyte ram disks....



the ramdisks are not that expensive anymore..they were originally expensive...



you'll be hard to catch once you crank your subs down....i'll be benching friday..and saturday...

i hope you get 1:36.xxx:thumbsup:

damn! answered all my questions!

Aw, I'm a dope. Either I am still doing it wrong or it is netting me no gains. :argh:

[Neuromancer]

Are you watching the mem usage in task manager?

If you were doing the same in spitweaker and getting up to 530MB syscache and 150KB superpi... It should have little effect on performance.

dunno why, but on my machine I have to cnp 6GB from D to C then to E to get it up there....

And it seems to be even FASTER on spitweaker when i do it, I just hit run 3 times real quick... then cancel it out when the mem usage drops (about 5-10 seconds)

i dont have a ssd but i gotten 1m38 on a old dell sata hd i have after my other one died on me with not so much tweaking

ps its from a p4 dell my first comp i got before i started to build my own :p

[Neuromancer]

SSDs make the differnce in the time it takes to copy waza. The idea behind copy waza (copy technique) is that you do not access the HDD for the bench. So no... SSDs do not make a differnce except in the time it takes to prep for superpi.

Waza makes 0 to -15% differnce in pifast when i tried it....(IE actually caused it to slow down a few times for me. But I did not try it alot.)

hmm that's kinda awesome tho i don't know why wazza is not helping me much...
when rick told me how to do it and all we thought we are gonna beable run it much faster then what i had but idk why is it not doing it

also can someone help me with some of my sub timing settings?
comes to sub i have NO idea what i am doing... like zero ideas :Dizzy:
i mean yeah i know it's just matter of tweaking it till it will not boot but still...
have no idea how to or what to

[HITandRUN]

Well SSDs are just faster but I can't generally say every bench will be faster since I didn't tested it. What I can say is that I tested my Intel X25-E drive vs. my WD Raptor 10K drive running SPI1M and the SSD was always faster.

Also my game plan of using the Maximus P55 board for some PiFast action is pretty much dead. I can't boot any ram in the first channel. I think it needs to go home back to mama for a RMA. :D ;)

Was using winFLP w/ SP3, then I installed chuch's 130MB XP.

Not seeing any difference, except XP has more stuff running in the background ;) (only 1 more process IIRC)

Still not home, I definitely will be tomorrow to watch my sister's kids that night, so after 830 EDT I should get some more play time.

Was really hoping to get home tonight but stopped working at 10PM and it was too late to run to the 'pot and get more caulk.:thumbdown:

Yeah dunno why but that happens on intel and AMD... people call the BUS clock on intel the QPI clock. and on AMD the hypertransport clock.

(AMD is kind of close, it is actully HTREF )

i have the GA-EX58-EXTREME board, and i just can't get the clock gen or setfsb to work with it... idk why, like i can try use every one of them on the drop down list and nothing happens...
but when i had my GA-EX58-UD4P clockgen works great with it, at the time i only had a older cra:Ded version of setfsb so it didn't really work...

but now for real tho..
is overclocking from bios better or clocking for a software like this the way to go?


btw wht is clockgen now updating anymore?

I should do a reformat of 7 Ultimate, and get a copy of XP going as well on a separate HD.

Posted my dumb ass idea

Got hung up the 22x theory, it posted litle gains not nearing the extreme efficiency guys. Only thing that changed. is the spi runs.

updated my pi here (http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=53604&postcount=12) stupid ass idea... additive to waza I dunno. i shaved a second off mytime with EIST enabled....

I still cant hit the 36 seconds. It was fun to play though.

I was thinking of running superpi again today, but there is no point, :laughing:

that score and uncore is massive, :thumbsup:

Edit : If you do not mind me asking, what are you using for cooling?, 16C, seems a bit low, :shock:

Made a total of 5 runs last night Banik back to back including the bsod. Trying to baby this injured chip so I always make sure to change the water out before the end of each run. I assure you there is no treachery going on here bro. ;)

Here is the previous run and I will run it again this morning without any water changeout and post the results here...heck, I may even run RealTemp during the bench for you. :good:

[ocgmj]

I don't think he is pointing fingers. Maybe he hasn't seen your Hi-Pro water setup. :)

[Hondacity]

i could replicate those clocks..even with air...so its fine.. but not the efficiency lol

[rickss69]

No offense taken...I just want to document everything I do.

Here is a run just completed with a fresh charge and RealTemp running the entire cycle. I will post a pic of my uber water loop in a few. :good:

[rickss69]

Well, here is the snake's den lol. Fresh charge of water is the key for me. :good:

[rickss69]

I may be just spinning my wheels, but next up is to test this new ram. ;)

[Hondacity]

thats so fukcin scary...im hydrophobic...

[rickss69]

So far the new ram is discouraging. Initial test at default would not let me open cpu-tweaker...gave error "must have dimm in slot A". Ran the bench anyway and scored this.

Lowered timings to 7-7-7-20 and re-seated ram...cpu-tweaker worked this time.
It will not run the bench without errors tho...:thumbdown: (Maybe try 2:8 instead of 2:10 ?)

[ocgmj]

What's the vdimm at Rick?

[rickss69]

What's the vdimm at Rick?

1.74 OC - Same as for the Corsairs...

[ocgmj]

Did you by chance run a memtest yet?

Edit: Also which error did you get? Out of round?

No memtest yet - it was one of the two errors...can't remember which now.

[rickss69]

SuperTalents at cas 6 now but still no joy...:argh:

[DrNip]

Damnit man that is discouraging as those are the same sticks I have on the way but the 2x2gb version. Oh well. Been looking at these all day at work:

Last update lol

Very interesting loop. High flow eh?

Man if I had a good high flow block like that with tubing that thick I bet the chiller would work even better, but maybe not.
