Super Pi 1m scores

[cdawall]

2.6ghz

 

[DonInKansas]

Yep, 2.6.

Orthos got grouchy within 5 minutes at 2.925 (225x13) so I backed off to 2.886 (222x13) and was stable for a half hour. I think 225 may be the cap at stock volts and x13; Haven't toyed with any other timings yet.

It's my first overclocking experience, so I'm going with "slow and steady wins the race." HT timings are all I've messed with at this point.

More progress as it happens.

what temps do you get?

Sat right at 50 during Orthos. About 38C Idle/doing regular stuff.

And GoatEater, stop showing off.

LOL - under DICE !

bet you could get a bettre score using a Biostar

 

[DonInKansas]

Another run using the right SuperPi and the stable 2.886.

I know I could -just picking the right memory for the TP45 HP would be a bit tough

lol my first time overclocking i was like i am going for the max i can get. slowly upped CPU voltage to 1.55v and ram to 2.2v(before i had the balls to run higher) and started upping my HT speed then when i found the max for my CPU (x2 4600+) and ram (Geil ultra ddr2 800) i lowered the mult. and set the ram strap to 667 and set timings from CL4 to CL5 then did the same thing again. After that i started to tweak the timings. sure i had a few BSOD and system hangs also had to clear the CMOS a few times but all in good fun and i didn't kill anything.

 

[DonInKansas]

but all in good fun and i didn't kill anything.

This is the key. This is only got the rig I've got and if I fried something, my wife would kill me. She's not a big fan of downtime, and you don't argue with a woman that's 8 months pregnant. She got mad at me the other day when I switched over to Vista because it was too slow. It was fine once SP1 and all the updates and tweaks were done, but I nearly lost my balls on that one.

wow... Then take it easy on the computer then.congrats on the baby.

Fixed - pregnant, no arguing keep that blood pressure down!

lol it is true... arguing with a woman is like arguing online it does you no good just makes you look like a dumb ass

You just gotta lower that multi and raise FSB, let that puppy fly!

 

[p_o_s_pc]

You just gotta lower that multi and raise FSB, let that puppy fly!

why lower the multi? AMD doesn't get a big boost off of higher bus speed like Intel does. With upping the bus speed on AMD you get higher ram speed but not the big boost because AMD uses HTT not FSB so less of a bottleneck

 

[Ketxxx]

We know that, but the higher FSB gives the system additional bandwidth and further reduced latencies for the on-die memory controller which is infinately useful when the systems memory subroutines and CPU are tasked with handling such jobs like physics processing.

i forgot about the lower latencies for the ram. I remember that my latencies on the L2 and ram both got lower when i upped the bus speed with a lower CPU mult. even with ram divider upped . I went from around 54ns to about 47ns that is using everest.

bah, dont make me bust out my p5q-e and beat that score w/ 200 less on cpu

really nice score.

 

[Cold Storm]

Well, since I went water. Decided to play with superpi.

Q6700 at 3.8mhz ram at 506.6 {13.786}

and Q6700 at 3.5 Ram at 526.4 {14.809}

Just getting started with this baby

 

[Bytor]

Ran it on a DFI x38 MB and E7200.

OC'd to 3.7 ghz

 

[Wile E]

Just getting started with this baby

That's an INSANE clock for only 1.53V.

nice score bro
