Rules of Engagement:
-Activated version preferred, however demo version will work in a pinch
-The ONLY benchmark we will be scoring here is the AIDA64 Cache and Memory Benchmark (Also run the AIDA64 CPUID or CPUz for system details)
-Leaderboard will include champions in READ, WRITE and LATENCY divisions
-Please include a snip of your result and post it here (that's it, plus CPU details)
-We will also include awards for those with the highest overclock percentage for both CPU and FSB (as revealed by AIDA64)
-We will also have a combativity award and a combination champion for a member who does exceedingly well in all three categories
-Leaderboards will be updated on a near daily basis (will do my best)
-Competition will run until the end of the year (deadline = December 30th, 2018 11:59pm)
-Please include a brief summary of your system, if you wish. I.E. CPU, Memory, Mainboard, PSU and CPU cooler, etc
-Multiple admissions and hardware changes are allowed, no OS requirement
-Red Landern Award gifted to the slowest rig(s)

EDIT: Depending on admissions we will split this into AMD/INTEL categories respectively to keep it competitive. We may also include sub-categories respective to DUAL/TRIPLE/QUAD channel systems, again, to keep it competitive. Your submissions are valued and I see we are already getting some interest going.

I dare anyone to beat me in L4 cache score.

8-png.97421

i can get my memory to boot at 3466 sometimes but is not stable. if i manage to run it threw a benchmark i will post the results.

edit: rerun with memory at 3266

I bet highest Read/Write will go to highest clocked, 16+ core count CPU.
"Latency" will go to Coffee Lake chip with 4GHz+ RAM and UnCore, while best three highest "%" CPU/FSB will be dominated by Celeron Ds and/or Pentium Dual-Cores on LGA 775.
I may be wrong though :D
Also : Which version of AIDA64 must be used ?
 
r/w is easy, will go to quad channel cpu. latency can go to kaby lake or coffee lake, though if anyone runs a quad channel broadwell that's still on the ring bus it may be up for the contest.

I think you might be surprised :D
Use any version of AIDA64 preferably Extreme or Engineer edition - I can help you get it setup PM me with any questions.

Thats why we are going to make separate categories for DUAL, TRIPLE and QUAD channel rigs to keep it competitive for everyone.
 
Quick run with DDR4-4133 12-11 Mems.
Need to re-try with all cores enabled.

Sure, for everyone...
Pull out one of the sticks out of Quad Channel boards, and you get Triple Channel.
So... good bye LGA 1366.
Coffee lake will crush Dual Channel metrics.
But OK, I'll bite to see how it goes :)

That's why we will have separate divisions for DUAL, TRIPLE AND QUAD channel memory submissions.
You can keep bench racing or submit your own result! lol

I'm still having some motherboard issues(specifically memory related too).

But...here's some old numbers I had saved from a while back.

If I can get things straightened out in time I might be able to do a little better with what I've got.

Here you go:

Ps I think there should be separate scoreboards for DDR4/DDR3/DDR2, dual/quad channel etc...

lucky you, with my board I can't go over 20x on edram. though that old screenshot was taken when I ran 2133 cl9-10-10-27 1t, now I got 2133 cl9-9-9-24 stable. I could maybe match what you've got, but not really beat it with edram maxing at 2GHz. Plus higher frequency memory is just better for synthetic benchmarks than lower speed with lower latency.My sticks are overclocked 1600 1.35v low profile ones, they overclock well till 2133, maybe 2200, but 2400 is just a no go.

Your memory OC may be due to the motherboard, I had that board a while ago and it was pretty bad for ram OC. My best stick of samsung D-Die could only do 2400 9-12-12 no matter what voltage I used, whereas on my Z87 OCF the same stick does 2800 9-11-11 @ 2.1V.

yup, that was an easy one...
 
That latency though...:barf:
Right.. I think my Lenovo T61p laptop from 2007 benches about 90ns.
Still very impressive in the overall bandwidth competition. With those numbers other members are gonna be hard pressed to pull off an upset.
 
Here's my sub for cpu/fsb percentage, might need to get out the E4500 for over 100% fsb.

Guys it looks like we are at a standstill at the moment in terms of updating the leaderboards.

I can't seem to edit the first post at the moment and I have a request into the mods to help out.

If you have a result please continue to post it here and I will update leaderboards as soon as the issue is fixed.

DR4G00N - Excellent submission! I have the same board, an Asus P5Q3 and love it. Talk about rock solid. In a past life it survived some serious liquid nitrogen cooling and since I've acquired it we've gone back to air cooling but still benches like a champ!

EDIT: LEADERBOARDS WILL BE UPDATED LATER TODAY! THANKS TO THE MODS FOR GETTING US BACK IN ACTION!
