Guess I totally missed the "Call out" and this thread, Howdy Pi_Fast Thread, I see you now :P
I'll see what kinda sloppy run I can come up with. Is there gonna be an updated score/ranking in the orginal post?

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:

Great knowledge there goat. Wish you were here to teach school a little more often ;)

Yep will get on it missa supaman :taunt:

Kal-EL 07-11-2010 04:30 AM

I'm a L7 yah know ;)

Splave 07-11-2010 05:43 AM

hey goat, good eyes forgot to mention the cpu tweaker didnt match my cpu-z. I think its because Im using the ROG station without any drivers in windows. CPU tweaker only shows my boot settings with it connected. I will see what happens when I use setfsb instead :)

Well I can't submit because my computer apparently has a beef against Pi fast:

Have you tested hipro's pifast ?

Nope Sofos, where can I find a copy?

Im finding that there are not many tweaks lol

Indeed

Maybe a CW would be helpful...but I have to get back my new chip from RMA dept. Hope tomorrow!

Jor-El 07-11-2010 11:48 AM

Pifast 8 x 0 Jor-El

done clocking..zero result..cpu doesn't scale with low clock

980x vid is 0.95v @ 3.33ghz ..weird its low....

have fun pifasting ..

i'm switching to p45

Splave 07-11-2010 04:52 PM

try running the regular .bat first elano, I had to do it that way before it would run

That's the .bat I'm running (doesn't look like it but it is)!

I will test different BIOS (only used 802) now I'll try 602 like RomDom recommended :thumbsup:

Splave 07-11-2010 05:29 PM

Ive been happy with 702 as well :)

Same shit happened to me. I thought the uncore would droop enough to be right at 4.2.

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.

Not bad man. Not bad at all. :good:



Here is my contribution so far. I thought I spanked them asses until I realized my uncore was 9mhz too high. :argh: Here is that one.

http://www.overclockaholics.com/foru...1&d=1279104880


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:

Edit: NOT VALID!! I just noticed the core speed in cputweaker. Too many mhz :(

Chuchnit 07-14-2010 01:02 AM

Rankings updated. Please lemme know when I suck and need to fix myself. Other than that you guys can go ahead and give up. I'm gonna find a way to break that 21s barrier with the right clocks.


Edit: I took my bogus run out of the rankings. Congrats to DOM for putting up a score. I'll be back you bunch of Nancy's. :P

Dom, those aren't bad times, considering you're on what looks like a full blown Win7.

You should try Chuchnit's XP off the FTP server.

Here's one

invalid no CPU tweaker:ohcrap:

Mafio 07-27-2010 07:42 AM

hi all, i'm new here at overclockaholics.com

BTW, none is still interested in pifast? :D

20.98

http://forum.hwproject.net/imagehost...f1648158eb.jpg

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 07-27-2010 09:09 AM

hehe I'm still in the game :)

http://i32.tinypic.com/xpvgbp.jpg

Uncore doesn't help that much :(

@Mafio : welcome :D

Mafio 07-27-2010 09:30 AM

hi sofos

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

Splave 07-27-2010 09:48 AM

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

Kal-EL 07-27-2010 09:53 AM

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

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

http://forum.hwproject.net/imagehost...f3b9a5fa46.jpg

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 07-27-2010 10:14 AM

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 07-27-2010 11:16 AM

did you try playing with RTL?

nice score man

69_Goat 07-27-2010 11:25 AM

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:

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

Mafio 07-28-2010 03:10 AM

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

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 07-28-2010 06:45 AM

well you are over 4000 at 4000.1 technically ;)

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

Mafio 07-28-2010 09:16 AM

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/imagehost...07e79bdf5e.jpg

http://forum.hwproject.net/imagehost...07e79e8549.jpg

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 07-28-2010 09:27 AM

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