F***in'ACE of a clock !!!!!!! Congratz.

 

[Corduroy_Jr]

thanks buddy i told ya i had a good chip

 

[YautjaLord]

Both of us then.

Yet...... Is it me or Vantage P score is strange ? It is still 4.0GHz but this ? Way beyond my understanding.

BTW : here's also a WinRAR score @ 4.0GHz :

Runs solid, so 4.0GHz is ACE for my CPU; why is it when you need something like TIM & cash it takes so long ? See you by end of next week - i'll probably have either of both.

*UPDATE*

The Vantage pic not shows, so here's tumbnail instead :

 

[claylomax]

That Vantage cpu score is too low for that clock. Here's mine with a 3800mhz cpu clock and the CPU NB running at 2600mhz.

 

[YautjaLord]

2600MHz CPU/NB ? How high did you set the CPU voltage ? Plus i have to tell that when you set RAM freq to 1333MHz, CPU/NB automatically becomes restricted to 2000/2200MHz & HT Link all the way upto 2800/3000MHz. Tell me if setting the following to those values will aid me in OC'ing land :

CPU/NB freq=2200MHz;
HT Link freq=2600MHz;
CPU voltage=1.4500v;
CPU/NB voltage=1.25v;
NB voltage=1.25v;
HT voltage=1.20v.

Waiting eagerly for your confirmation.

*UPDATE*

Didn't wait. Played with settings, (also i was wrong when said CPU/NB was restricted to 2200MHz when setting RAM freq to 1333MHz - it's not) but temp is rising so AS Ceramique/MX-2/3/CFIII/etc... is a plus. It now looks like this :

CPU/NB freq=2600MHz;
HT Link freq=2600MHz; (if needs to be changed back to 2000MHz - say)
CPU voltage=1.4500v;
CPU/NB voltage=1.25v;
HT voltage=1.20v; (it only goes 1.20/1.22/1.24/1.26/etc.. no 3's/5's/etc..)
NB voltage=1.26v. (same here)

Say what you think.

P.S. vCore in CPU-Z now jumps from 1.408 to 1.424v.

This is what I use for 24/7 use:

 

[YautjaLord]

This is what I use for 24/7 use:

Most of it is Auto !!!!! HT Link 2000MHz than. Did LinX run ? If so - how long ? I'll do it so HT Link stays 2000MHz 24/7 & rest will change accordingly. Thanx Clay. Why you didn't adjusted VDDA btw ?

Thanx.

*UPDATE*

I recalled now why the Vantage P score not like your's : i ticked the "Disable PPU" option in "Options" section of bench. Leave it unticked or what ? Vantage had (have ?) problem with PPU under NVidia GPUs & in SLI i think, so that's why it's ticked. Otherwise, if i didn't touch it the score would be like what you have, i guess. So, what do you say : to tick or not to tick ? BTW : the options in BIOS are now as follow :

CPU freq=200MHz;
CPU ratio=20.0;
RAM freq=1333MHz;
RAM timings=7-7-7-20-1T;
CPU/NB freq=2600MHz;
HT Link freq=2000MHz;
CPU voltage=1.4500v;
CPU/NB voltage=1.25v;
VDDA voltage=2.8000v;
RAM voltage=1.66v
NB voltage=1.26v;
HT voltage=1.20v;
nf200 voltage=Auto.

Bold out text=changed.

 

[claylomax]

Why you didn't adjusted VDDA btw ?

Why did you? Do you know what's for? Because I don't.

 

[YautjaLord]

To balance the OC someone here said. And what do you say bout "Disable PPU" option in Vantage ? Leave it unticked or tick it ?

 

[claylomax]

He probably was guessing, nobody knows what VDDA is for. Tick it if you want to compare scores with an AMD card, otherwise leave it unticked; note that it only affects the second cpu test not the first, and your first test is also low.

 

[YautjaLord]

So basically leaving it unticked aids for CPU especially if it's OC'ed yet i don't think 2nd test will benefit from OC : it is much lower on AMD CPUs right now then on Intels (hope the 'Dozer will change it though ).

Thanx mate, will run it with "Disable PPU" unticked - still wanna see how's the 2nd CPU test perform without it. Stay tuned.

*UPDATE*

It was the one mofo that caused such score : the "Disable PPU" option. Unticked it now it looks like it should + also ran WinRAR benchie :


WinRAR

Also updated CanardPC validation so here's the pic of it as well :

CanardPC validation

Soon, maybe even tomorrow i'll see how's the LinX 75mins fairs out; f*** i need it golden !!! Stay tuned.

P.S. Contacted Gary (SWC), the dude said that the best i need called Indigo Extreme for AM2/3 & looking from the tables they made AS5 is ways worse than this TIM. Search in Sidewindercomputers for it - you'll be surprised.

P.P.S. Strange. It's second time Vantage pic not shows. Tumbnail, again :

I don't mean to disappoint you but check this, same mobo, same cpu at 4000Ghz:

No, that was me and I wasn't guessing. It keeps the load balanced on the CPU phases when overclocking the snot on your CPU. It does help for 4ghz+

*About those Vantage scores.. Clay, you have PhysX on where it's offloading to your GPU, YautjaLord has PhysX off for some reason.

If you mean bout the GPU-Z's "PhysX" checkbox - it's ticked; but - PhysX in Nvidia Control Panel set to Auto & it chose the 2nd GTX 460; there's no "Balanced" option in it, just GTX 460 #1, GTX 460 #2 & Auto for "Dedicate to PhysX" option. What to do/choose ?

Auto should work fine. I don't know why PhysX isn't working in Vantage. To be honest I can't stand Vantage and I don't use it. I would just try a different benchmark since this thread is about CPU's. WPrime or any other CPU intensive bench would be better to use.

 

[claylomax]

Same mobo, same cpu at 4000Ghz with physx disabled:

 

[YautjaLord]

2erocker :

LinX than & you correct : sorry for off-topic. BTW : contacted Gary Stofer bout best TIM they got & he suggested a Indigo Extreme for AM2/3 - from what they showed in Sidewinder page of that ETI AS5 is like ages behind this Indigo Extreme.

If Vantage (and 11 for that matter) not exactly suit this thread (excluding 2 CPU tests in Vantage & one physics/CPU test & CPU/GPU combined test in 11), what about CPU_benchmark 1 & 2 in Crysis ? Though nothing beats LinX/OCCT/Prime95/etc... stress/torture testing, true.

*UPDATE*

That is some awful score, Clay. jk BTW : have you ran LinX stress test based on your clock ? 75 or maybe even 100mins ? Show the pic of it, if you did.

What are both of you running your CPU/NB at?

Me, it's on my screenshot.

 

[cheesy999]

add me to the club, i may follow up with an oc later

 

[YautjaLord]

[fullinfusion]

How many passes of LinX 0.6.4 is ballz to the walls stable?
Quick! B4 I do something stupid lol

 

[Corduroy_Jr]

this what i have set for 4ghz 30mins stable, i could get less voltages still working on it

CPU freq=200MHz
CPU Ratio=20.0
RAM freq=1600MHz
RAM timings=8-8-8-21-1T
CPU/NB freq=2600MHz
HT Link freq=2000MHz
CPU voltage=1.37500v in bios, windows 1.380v to 1.392v
CPU/NB voltage=1.2v
VDDA voltage=2.2000v but in windows 2.5v
RAM voltage=1.65v
NB voltage=1.1v
HT voltage=1.1v
SB voltage 1.1v

Looks to be a software config holding you back. Everything looks good there though your RAM may not be all that stable.

 

[YautjaLord]

What do you mean software config holding back ? What kind of soft would possibly do such vile thing ? As for RAM - it's Mushkin RedLine 1600MHz; it's factory default timings are as follow : 6-8-6-24-1(2?)T 1.65v. When i set it to 1.66v in BIOS it's color was light red alright; though timings & frequency are now - 7-7-7-20-1T & 1333MHz respectively. How will this hold OC back ? The only way to find out is to do LinX - say - 50mins run. Maybe that's what i'll do now. Stay tuned......

*UPDATE*

You waited for it, you got it : i pulled it out. This heist was tiresome, i ran back & forth while it was tested; each f***ing time i was checking to get a f***ing error occure. Us Predatory, err... Predator fan OC'ers we patient; we wait; and when the opportunity is ahead we strike with brutal force. lol With the settings i got (CPU freq, CPU/NB, CPU voltage, etc... you got it all listed here in my prev posts) i did the unthinkable - did myself a lil' 50mins LinX run with 5000 problem size & 196MiB mem, thus i present it to you all. Temps jumped from 41-44 (lowest) to 52 (highest) degrees C - i need that Indigo Extreme ETI. Tumbnails (1st prior to finish/9secs before it & last one where it's complete) :
