damn that looks sexy!
red+black!

wow how much do thse things run? better yet where did yu get them?

thanks guys!

punx got them from corsair store, $200 a stick lol ridiculous I know.


chuch here is a proper run (minus sub timing tweaking and will try higher uncore)
2117793

priority high core 1
defrag, run 16k twice
wazza settings in pic
run

sorry for the OT spliggity, but how do you calculate efficiency?

no problem rev, seriously I didnt even know there was a way till about a year ago.

Say I run a 9m20.500s pi run at 4.251ghz

you make the time in seconds = 560.500s
you make the speed in mhz = 4251mhz

and you multiply them :)

2382686

pi time in seconds x mhz = efficiency (performance product in some circles)

Sick run buddy!! Man if you can drop the efficiency 3k at high clocks, you can reach sub 6m 30s easy. The problem is keeping the efficiency at high clocks. Can you pull off 7-7-6-19 or 18 at those clocks?

thanks for the explanation dudes.

So what number do we target? Obviously the lower the better, but how do we determine if a run is efficient or not?

my latest personal record ends up as 2237927.838

7m 10.062s at 5194.9mhz

2.0mil-2.2mil are where you want to be, with a wazza and lsc you would be right in there man.

you can also determine approximate time, say your efficency was better like 2.12mil, at your speed 5194mhz you divide and get 408sec

Well crio's run he posted is a great example of efficiency, but probably not very likely at uber high clocks. I think the best i7 efficiency in top 10 for 32m is ~208xxxx. When i7 first came out ~2350000-2480000 was good, but I'd say ~2100000-2350000 at benching speeds would be signifigant for mere mortals.
