Super Pi 1m scores

[Tatty_Two]

Slight improvement, still not touched memory or closed background proggies yet, just playing at moment, this is at 4.1Gig on 1.575V BIOS, 1.55V windows although I think I can do this speed on a bit less as I just guessed voltage! memory is only running at 1000Mhz, so should be able to make some decent gains on that later.....1170Mhz.....woot!

Edit: Thats me 7th......sorry Trt!!!

Patience my friend....did a run at 4Gig and got 2216.....dont want to waste your time by posting like 4 scores so I will give it a while of tweaking yet, SM2 just takes so much longer to run!

No problem all good things must come to a end.

I am going to try to do a quick run on my X2 overclocking in windows without closing any shiz out.

 

[Mediocre]

w00t. Broke 14s with the QUAD 3.72 (465x8) for the Q6600

 

[p_o_s_pc]

how do you close out explore to run super PI than open it again after it is done?

 

[theonetruewill]

ctrl+alt+del - end process explorer > file > new task > type in explorer.exe if you want that, or browse to find superpi.

Thanks.I didn't have it OCed vary high so i am not going to post the SS.

 

[giorgos th.]

you can also go to msconfig and select "diagnostic startup" in the general tab for having a lighter OS..

Wouldn't it be smarter to use wPrime or something? SuperPI is outdated.

 

[giorgos th.]

it`s a bit outdated cause of the use of 1 core only..
but regarding the cpu-ram power and efficiency it`s the best out there...1m and 32m also..

Nearly everone here has a dual or quad core, how is is it interesting to know single thread performance? Wouldn't you prefer to actually make your computer sweat during a benchmark?

Besides, currently it simply shows who the highest clock on his C2D has.

 

[giorgos th.]

yeap...we have a bunch of benches to use Dan..
super pi is just one of them..

hwbot uses multi core bench's, but most ppl still preffer single core benchs

I thought the same way.. Bigger numbers = Awesome Processor
..but that's only beneficial with multi-threaded programs. Most of your programs are single-threaded anyways.

SuperPI shows clock speed and efficiency. Right now, both clock speed and efficiency are for the most part taken by Intel's current lineup (not just the C2D). Take the latest AMD Opteron and match the clock speed with a new Intel Xeon. Run SuperPI on both and you'll find the difference in efficiency, naturally.

A good example would be a price/performance war between a low-end quad core setup and a high-end dual core setup. Quick single threaded performance might be better overall than fast (but not as efficient) multi-threaded performance. Just depends on what you're going to use your computer for. Sweating is for burn-ins. Multi-threaded benchmarks almost always separate who has a quad core from who has a dual core and finally from those with a single core. A stock QX6850 for example, would be faster than a highly overclocked dual core. A FX-74 faster than an overclocked E6850. A quad-processor P3 server possibly faster than a Sempron/Celeron.

That and single-threaded benchmarks give us AMD fanboys a little hope to tie us over 'till Barcelona and it's variants.

Everyone with money, maybe. As seen in my system specs, I'm running a 754 Sempron 64 3400+.

Just one big, fat, lazy single core. It still does well in everyday applications and gaming. I'm not pushing max AA and AF, but I can still do well.

most people here are running a dual or quad there are still some that aren't.My Sempron did better in super pi than my x2.

same with me and at least your board has bus locks im stuck running 2.2ghz or so till i can find a lockable board stupid 8x agp doesnt like out of whack bus speeds like my 4x ti4200 did

Locked or not, I can't manage to get up over 240FSB. I guess a 20% increase is okay, but I was hoping for more.

 

[pt]

new mobo doesn't go higher than 353fsb
hint - i need help

anyway
20s BROKE!

that your sempys fault mate a lot of those wont do over 240 get a venice or send me your board and upgrade to a new system personally i like this option

when they get back in stock a $25 upgrade to a 10x multi could be worth it

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819104230
and td has them in stock for $5 more
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3143232


personally i think you should do this cpu
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3001041
and this mobo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186066
59.99 for cpu and 39.95 for mobo

Newegg had a Sck 754 Athlon 64 that I really wish I got. That'll hopefully give me the overclock I'm looking for.

you just got a bad sempy if you look around they either bog down with 240X any multi of hit 3ghz on any multi

If you can help it, I'd recommend going with a newer Turion or at least a Clawhammer based Mobile 754 chip. They'll give you the best performance/ oc'ing results. I still have an MSI board that supports mobiles and I remember having a 4000+ Newark core Mobile in that thing! Now that was the pinnicle of power for socket 754! OC'ed to 3GHz easily on air cooling (Zalman CNPS7000B), consumed very little power and produced very little heat.
