How high can you fly? AIDA64 memory bandwidth competition

[storm-chaser]

I am dirt cheap and saveing the money for a 5950x and a 6900xt come december...

Yes I have the 6900 XT is in my sights as well... can't wait.

Here is my retro 960T Phenom II gaming rig.

Well.... It looks like I will be competing against myself in this comp! lol

Not entering... no point. But should show what to expect from 1866 ram in quad channel. Aida doesn't show a lot of detail because I'm running it under linux...

And see my result above for what you can expect from 1866MHz memory in an octal channel configuration (post #22), if you haven't already.

What Ivy Bridge chip are you running in this rig?

 

[johnspack]

It's a xeon 1680 v2. 8 core, 16 thread.
Oh, and cpu at 4.4ghz all core.

How does rewarding the winner of a category who likely already has top end hardware with a prize of lower quality hardware grow the OC scene? This isn't about demanding a better prize. But the winners by statistic will likely have the best hardware in their category already. Give the prize out to someone who needs it ^^. Someone earlier in the thread put out a raffle idea, gives chance to people who actually need new hardware that aren't already running topspec in their system. I don't need it or want, it's just a suggestion. It's VERY generous of you to run your own competition and provide your own prize.

Thanks. Part of the reason I am providing the free prizes is to spur more competition. Seems as of late these overclock forums aren't really getting as much traffic at the moment due to life challenges and dealing with larger issues such as the global pandemic. So I am in part trying to get more competition by offering a decent return on your efforts. So far that does not appear to be working lol.

Yeah it's more for a keep sake than anything. Symbolic of a win. Generally speaking it would be rare for a competition to reward the losers. That would be paradoxical. For example, a drag racing event typically pays out to the winner not the loser. Same thing here. Yes, the best in the business typically reap the rewards of winning, and this comp is no exception. I can start a slow-mo leaderboard and we can figure out an award for the slowest rig such as a Cyrix 686 150MHz CPU or something similar.

If people with slow machines need better memory or SSD they can PM me and I will hook them up with a good deal as a fellow forum member.

Nearly identical to my E5 2673 v2 in boost clocks. Plus, unlocked multi is always a good thing.
But now you've peaked my interest. I'm going to order a 1680 v2 next week to test in my z820 rig.

Too bad I can't run two of them, as the 1680 v2 is single processor capable only. It will also cut my 8 channel memory bandwidth in half.
I will be using throttlestop to OC since the z820 BIOS does not have that capability.

Come on guys. Aida64 is only $1.5 on ebay.

Now I feel like an idiot. Was not aware of this. Paid full price for three years on AIDA64 website. Oh well.

I know this comp is dated, but it appears like we have been getting increased traction / member interest over the past few days and weeks, so if I can find the original excel leaderboard template, I will work to bring that current. NO guarantees though.

@hotokers
Very impressive result! That takes you right to the top of the list. Definitely a powerhouse you've got there... is it a high end workstation or server?

Thank you! It's a high end WS

 

[storm-chaser]

So we are in luck. I was able to find the original leaderboard and just updated everything to bring it current. So we still have a little over a week here where people can still compete in this, and we can extend the deadline later if we get enough interest.

Leaderboard will always be updated and posted on page one (as I just did). So by all means people, get your subs in! There is still competition to be had!

Well, if you put it like that, then I can't help joining in the interest of generating interest

I'm not buying a Ballistix kit just for this competition, but if anyone else has a Renoir APU you may be able to top that #1 result if you take Micron Rev.B to 5400 or so, even if 2:1, since Renoir may be able to make up enough R/W to compensate for Copy at high enough speed.

And if you get lucky with Rev.B (especially the 8GB sticks with half-capacity 16Gb ICs), you may not have to shell out nearly as much money as top B-die.

Looking good! That puts you in second place overall for dual channel kits. (leaderboard updated)

I don't have any experience working with that specific processor, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, but it looks like whatever you have there is making decent improvements over the earlier zen stuff, which has an average memory latency of about 70 ns.

Just messin around..

Hi all, here my result

 

[Block10]

Good afternoon, I leave my results in Aida64. Cheers!

Still working with new 5821 BETA BIOS Asus X470 Prime Pro , hardware error is fixed !

 

[freeagent]

I managed to get a little better.. I did have a slightly better run but didn't save it, and couldn't replicate it so it never happened

 

[storm-chaser]

Thanks guys. Im in the process of moving from my apartment to my house up in Saranac Lake, so I may not be able to update the board for next week or so. just FYI
