new HD x264 video encoding benchmark

Additionally, now that you're looking at this hardware, if you come across a store that sells Asus Z7S-WS (and has stock) please tell me, turns out Europe won't get it for another 3 months.

@DTB - dunno if they have them in stock, but have you tried froogle?

None seem to have stock, one store lists 4/11. Some day I shall find one in stock somewhere

Thanks for the results... just so I get this right, your memory is DDR1 @ 220 MHz?

It is DDR1, but the bench was at 218FSB 1:1, and the timing was 2.2.2.5 GAT F1=PAT

 

[warhammer]

@warhammer - thanks dude... vista 32 or vista 64?
@mandelore - smokin' ... what are you mem timings and the maximus formula uses ddr2, right?

Sorry VISTA 64

 

[graysky]

Got the corrections, thanks!

Cool man, thanks. I'm always amazed that those things will run 4 GHz on under 1.4 V!

No problem man, and yeah, this is hands down the best cpu I have ever had the joy of OCing. I don't even have to go to 1.6V to reach 4455. Speaking of which, I'm gonna try a run at that speed for you in a little while here.

 

[graysky]

Crazy man. I know you're liquid cooled, but what kinda load temps does 4 GHz generate? Wonder if it'd be possible on air?

 

[cdawall]

i'll throw in some 3ghz+ a64 single core numbers when i get a chance

Crazy man. I know you're liquid cooled, but what kinda load temps does 4 GHz generate? Wonder if it'd be possible on air?

Well, nothing really reads temps right on these, so I have no point of reference for you. But at these voltages, 4GHz will be no problem with a good air cooler. My Q6600 at 1.5V loaded to the mid 50s on water, so this should be loading somewhere in the 40s on water. With a good air cooler, it will likely be in the 50s or 60s. Still perfectly fine for a quad.

And speaking of heat, I can't run this test at or above 4.4GHz so far, due to heat. Encoding H.264 beats the crap out of the cpu. lol. I have more tinkering to do. lol.

Impressed by those QX9650 numbers, I thought I'd check the price... and came across a LAPTOP with a QX9650! WTF!

it also has 600GB HDD and a blu-ray drive

Another pass at 220FSB 1:1

 

[graysky]

@revin - got it, you're squeezing every last MHz out of that, eh Will update soon.

Yea,thanks
I had it outside a couple Sat.'s ago, and ran 3.9, on AIR and really want to get a super cooling setup that wont cost me alot of $$$$. I should be able to run this EE as most other skt 478's to around the 4Ghz, and that would be a pretty sweet ride!!!

BTW, Will both scores still remain??? or do you haft to overwrite the previous?

Thanks again

 

[DaedalusHelios]

Here is my data!
Not bad for a $70 processor!
Look at that idle temp on air cooling! 1.6Ghz stock then its clocked to 3.25Ghz!
I know its weak.
I will list my better computers tomorrow.

 

[graysky]

I'll keep em both unless you want one pulled.

 

[graysky]

@DaedalusHelios - thanks for the data, man

 

[EastCoasthandle]

any other takers?

Like to keep all of the scores if OK, to give a referance to the FSB vs. gain's made.
I tried 225FSB, but temps weren't cool enough to maintain

It's kinda cool out again, might need to slip it outside again

Thanks again for all the work!

Graysky,

Here are some suggestions for http://www.techarp.com/x264_Benchmark/hd/HD_benchmark_results_pub.xls

1./ Put the TPU user in the database.

2./ Get rid on Sheet 2

3./ Put a new Sheet 2 with a chart or two for analysis

4./ Add a new sheet with the system specs of the "best in class", ie. best Xeon system, best Q6600 system, best Core 2 Dual system, best P4 system, best P3 system, etc. Specs need to include system board, memory, OS. (Or include this on main database page... even if sometimes data is BLANK for some users who didnt submit it).

I know its extra work, but it would be pretty cool source of info.
