I had a little no stress, no worries session tonight. This was just playing around. No worries about boints, rankings, or how my scores stack up. Just overclocking for the fun of it.
I had one of the most enjoyable sessions I've had in a long long time. I ran some Vantage and 06 to start, but didn't improve my scores and moved on to my favorite instead of getting stressed out for nothing. So super pi 32m it is.
Now I just need to get me some Hypers. I'm so close to where I wanna be with my efficiency, but I need some ram to push me over the hump.
Test Setup:
Core i7 920
EVGA Classified e759
Corsair Dom 1866 C9 6x2GB
EVGA gtx285
Antec 1200w
Single Stage by Runmc
My version of XP SP3
Here was my first run of the night. Just testing a little low clock efficiency. Here's the basline.
4189mhz | 8m 37.500s
Final run on low clock. Decent improvement given the ram I have.
Come to think of it, I think I had a 8m 31.xx run, but not sure. Oh well, no worries.
4189mhz | 8m 33.375s
At the end of the night I decided to bump the clocks up a little. I still gotta a little efficiency to squeeze out at this mhz, but its not worth my time. Only ran this speed for two runs. I'm still learning this CPU's behaviors, so I'm shooting for 5ghz+ 32m sometime this weekend. She is a moody bitch for sure though.
4818mhz | 7m 31.985s
