• cpuz max clockspeed

Prizes:

1. AMD Athlon X2 250 (donated by cdawall)
2. Nvidia 8800GS (donated by kenkicker)
3. Nvidia reference 8400GS (donated by cdawall)

This is an example of a post to be scored plese submit your post like this to make it easier for me to score them.

What is the time duration of the contest? I won't have a thuban for another 2 weeks.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

Subscribed for the heck of it and wanting to see how far Thubans can go..

[suraswami]

Let the pissing contest begin.

unfortunately I don't have a X6 but will be a good spectator

 

[cdawall]

kenkicker donated some prizes let the benchmarks come

 

[brandonwh64]

I wished i could join this shindig but i only have a X2

 

[Steevo]

If my check is what I believe it will be I'm getting one. If not I will just pay off my phone and wait till next month.

Once a reasonable BIOS shows up for the M4A79T, count me in. Although, bear in mind that all us 1055T owners will have a rougher time keeping up with those with 1090T BEs.

 

[Deleted member 74752]

Might I suggest that we use WPrime version 1.55? That is the only one that is accepted at Hwbot because the other's are bugged.

 

[mordant80]

This is only after one day of messing with it.. got all the new parts together just yesterday. I'll update this post after i get further. Only thing I've touched so far other than the video card is the multiplier. Only score I have to submit right now is PI @ 19.830 if you count the core that did it the quickest. (I know the pic doesn't follow the rules exactly, future pics will)

Yeah, right now I have all 6 cores Prime95 stable @ 4.2Ghz(300FSB with both the multi and turbo clock multi set to 14.5) using 1.575v and 1.5v CPU/NB. Oh well, lets show what these 1055T's can do

I have tried 1.55 on 3 different installs and it won't more than 1 core on my rig?

You have to enable and save the number of threads you want to use before running the benchmark.

 

[sNiPeRbOb]

oh I am totally in. Going to boot my Thuban right now in my basement! (awesome ambients FTW!)

 

[Deleted member 74752]

My 1090T is dead meat...small water spill took it's life. AMD is just not as hardy as Intel when it comes to H2O lol. Got it in RMA, should be back in action and making some posts by next w-end.

 

[v12dock]

Anyone wanna trade a Q6600 for one of these badboys

 

[kenkickr]

Here we go. This is a 1055T so be patient with me

I like to show with CoreTemp because it shows the speed of all 6 cores, not just the fastest running one like CPU-Z.

will update everything shortly dealing with a flat on my truck i hit something that looks like a tire spike. and kenkicker mind running with physx disabled so it has a legit cpu score in vantage lol

 

[Deleted member 74752]

Better yet, only run the cpu tests in Vantage...that is all you want correct?

 

[kenkickr]

Updated Vantage score.

 

[cdawall]

how do the scores look

 

[kenkickr]

What about also showing what proc was used for the posted OC?

Scores look good, I wish mine were better
