TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[Chicken Patty]

yeah... thats the one thing its missing. other than that im working on a few things but i'll have it running tonight.

oh well, its not the end of the world then . Keep us posted bro, think you'll enjoy your 3 GTX 260's more now with full 3x 16x pci-e?

 

[Fitseries3]

new board.. all stock... no ocs.

 

[Fitseries3]

2.66ghz cpu still(stock) video OCed a tad...

 

[Fitseries3]

here's on the rampage 2 extreme at 4ghz with 3 gtx260s running in 16x 8x 8x mode

and here's same exact settings on P6T6 revolution in 16x 16x 16x mode...

now you tell me 8x is no different than 16x in tri sli or with any gpu. i win mofo's

 

[LiveOrDie]

thats not a huge jump in points but still nice 2 see there is one

If you notice his CPU score is better as well by 1000 points... if you ask me the whole thing is behaving better.

 

[LiveOrDie]

yer depends on the bios and the board i wouldnt mind seeing what the evga x58 scored, and depends on the brand of the video cards to

 

[DaMulta]

That made a differance!!! It really did!!! first 16x over 8 x that showed it to me at least.

That's just PhysX, so it's the vc again (the first cpu test, which is the only cpu test w/ physX, shows a 3 plans/sec difference, so, nothing). If you ask me there really isn't any difference b/t the two to speak of. A few frames here and there from that test, but nothing to spend more than $10 for imo.

here you go


I ran another run the other day tweaking my card and I scored 7289 in CPU points, but no screenie as the overall score was not better so I said f**k it.

 

[LiveOrDie]

i wanna see a asus board vs a evga board with the same clocks and cards.

 

[Fitseries3]

BAM

woops, maybe dark can throw one single 4870 on his new asus boards at the same clocks and see. But his card is clocked higher than mine, if he can bring it down that'll be awesome!!!

 

[Chicken Patty]

BAM

 

[DaMulta]

+1

 

[Devilsclarinet]

BAM

Is this improvement attributed to the fact that all cards can run at full x16 speed?

 

[Fitseries3]

yes

 

[farlex85]

yes

You sure it's not just b/c you jacked up the speeds? As I said before, on the comparison above the difference in minimal.

 

[Fitseries3]

look at my clock for clock comparison on the previous page.

You mean this one? Your clocks there are slower than your 31k. The difference b/t the two is a few frames made bigger by physX.

 

[Fitseries3]

but i could not get 31k before on the rampage no matter how hard i tried. on this board its a walk in the park.

That may be a board difference more than bandwidth, but you may be right it may be x16 difference. From the comparison above though I don't really see much difference. Were you able to get those clocks w/ the rampage?

 

[Fitseries3]

yes same clocks.

 

[Binge]

He did one earlier with 666 clocks that had an obvious improvement over his previous board's scores. The overclock did not do much in tri-sli.

We were just talking about that one, the oc and the bandwidth gave about the same improvement, not much. Hey fit do you have a non-physX score from the last board to compare your current w/?
