Oh, so us non-A64 people aren't good enough for you?

feel free to post, just list your memory settings. you probably won't stay on the list for long unless you have an awesome cpu, and even then, a K7 at 3ghz can't TOUCH a K8 at 3ghz

what speed do you run your ram at?
Click to expand...
the shot says? notice how a64tweaker puts the memclock at 200mhz, for 1:1 ;)

Ecplipse I feel like you're singling out us cool people who bought dual core opty's. Maybe we should have an encoding challenge instead ;)
Click to expand...
in due time. until then, you can still play along

Is this AMD CPUs only or are dothans allowed? :D
Click to expand...
i posted this in the amd forum instead of general oc'ing/cooling for a reason :p

Can we do a competition on completing the calculations twice (at the same time?)
Click to expand...
sure, but that's kinda a dual core/dual cpu thing only


i'll go through and update the main list now, give me some time guys
 
Here is mine:


Not as cool as yours but it's as close as I can get until I figure out that tweaker program...
I have my timing down in the bios, but 64 tweaker shows different settings. Am I supposed to leave everything at auto?

Nooo!!!!!!!!!! All that hard work.... I hit print screen.... then shut my computer down before the vcore can do any dmg... then I remember I forgot to go into paint and save the pic lmao.
Click to expand...
what did i say in the OP? i gave out simple directions, but yet i still have people breaking the rules. get a proper pic up and you'll get up there. sorry about drawing the line ;)
that goes for everyone else who didn't post a proper shot, or had something i couldn't read *cough*mig29*cough* :p :D:D
 
All you guys with your expensive Uber Ram and DFI Lanparteez.
Check this out. It's cheap Corsair ValueRam and I'm not even a good tweaker.


Done properly with A65 Tweaker: 29.687s
 
heres mine,im waiting on some tccd and an opteron stock cooling also :) what do you think I would be at if I ran at around 3g?will the 1mb cache help out some also?

i'm starting to hate supload, after ~5 refreshes, i still don't see more than ~1/5th of the pic.
also, my score? that was done with a set of ram that only put me back $120 ;)
i'm gonna try to break it with a set of $100 ram later :p
 
So far:
Opteron 165 @ 2.4Ghz (1.38V)
1Gb of Ballistix Tracers @ 2.5/4/4/10 (2.7V)
Divider: 5/6
Memory running at 218Mhz. FSB: ~265
1Mil: 36 Seconds :(
@Stock (1.8) Ghz it did it in 46 seconds. Oh what a difference 600 Mhz makes
 
Opteron 165 534@2808mhz
2x512mb Ballistix 3200 @255mhz 2.5-2-2-5 1T
DFI LanParty Sli-DR
Air Cooling

SuperPi 1M = 29.985s


I've got to play with A64 Tweaker a bit more.
 
aw, coe on guys. i feel like you're not taking my challenge seriously when i look at your settings. a lot of you should be able to get pretty damn close to 3ghz benchable, and just aboue every one of you have some REALLY slackened secondary timings for your ram, which look like auto settings that the mobo would set ;)
get to work on getting serious with this :p

ShiShKaBoB, how high do those ballistix get with 3-3-3 timings? if you can break 300mhz, i can tell you sPI seems to like ram mhz a bit more than tight timings, with 2.5-3-3 at 300mhz being just a touch slower than 2-2-2 at 272mhz in 1

im running 1.5-2-2-3 in my run I don't feel like opening up my case and running the 5v jumper lol god I love bh5 for benching I just wish my cpu would clock higher
 
you realize cas1.5 is actually slower than cas2 unless you have a dfi rx200 or dfi nf4 expert, right? ;)

Yeah, actually I am totally aloof when it comes to a64 tweaker.. if "somebody" would write a guide on it, and what all the timings mean, I'd be glad to know what I was doing. ;).

You know I actually have never tried running 3-3-3 timings on this Ballistix, I'll play with it later tonight after work and see what I can get. However I thought subconsciously I've read in various places that pretty much everybody stated that a max clock of 545-550mhz (272-275ish) was the highest that was achieved with the 3200 Ballistix. You've gotten them to bench at 300mhz?? What voltage? I'll play with them later tonight.

Hey
Eclipse, your Opteron is .8 Mhz faster than 3 Ghz! So you're disqualified :p :D

HAHA! Beat me to it!

CHEATER CHEATER PUMPKIN EATER! :p :D

ha, this shit is so confusing. This DFI's got so many options that I don't know what to do with. And you spelled my name wrong :(

hahaha, sorry man. i have a tendancy to not check when i write sometimes. also.. it should be too bad, just play with things until you figure out what's allowed and what's not. i can probably give you a few pointers if you want :cool:

who is everyone? my ballistix does 300mhz stable at 3-3-3 with just 2.7v ;)

I'm not done yet, but that is the best time I've spit out yet.
Click to expand...
pretty nice for not quite at 3ghz and having 3-4-4 timings ;)

thunder, pm's exist for a reason, though i guess i don't really care :p :D
 
Thunderstruck:
My 170 is the first batch CCBWE0530 TPMW from Newegg. It's not stable at above 2750-2780 yet, at least not on this mb.

Thanks :) I love my ram, but I just can't seem to get past 292/293 and still be superpi stable, though I think it is a processor limitation. Also, I think I can get tighter timings, but I just haven't had the time to play with it. 1x1 at 293fsb/htt is rather nice :)
 
heh, word. tccd i would presume? ;)


also, i tweaked my ballistix a bit, and managed to get it to complete a run at 299.7mhz at 2.5-3-3-3 timings, but it wasn't considerably faster than what i've got now, just 27.296, so i left what i have, and i'll really go pushing stuff when i get my g.skill LE's in ;)
 
I tried my best to score one for Dual Core team! I wanted 2950, but even with 1.65v it was a no go. This is the max volts i was gonna give, but im not disappointed... I forgot to include it in the SS but my memory was at 263Mhz. Not bad for a 2GB kit at 3-3-2-7 eh?

Here you go eclipse, this should put me on the list!

Ive never been able to hit more than 305 with 3 different motherboards!! my CPU is in a good mood today!

Eclipse, I cant get my CPU higher than 2.75, and even than, the best I can do stable is 2.7 (270x10) Ive tried other settings but nothing stable. I cant even really post with 2.8GHz. This is all at 1.61v which runs hot as it is (around 45-47 idle w/ XP-120) Im definitely not gonna try it with any lower voltages becuase if it cant with 1.61, no way with anything lower. And im not gonna go any higher becuase itll just run too hot (whats the max safe v w/ water cooling...preferrably the apex kit from swiftech which im looking to get in the near future?) My ram timings are the best I can do with running that high. Anything else and either memtest fails or the system fails to boot. Ill try again with my new stick of RAM though.
 
Best I could get in the limited time I had tonight... very happy though, as I could not get above 310 before...

depends a lot on the temps, as i'm sure you know. i personally wouldn't go any higher except for benching, even then, not a whole lot. dual core doesn't seem to like a lot of voltage


also, i'm glad to see you guys are hitting some speeds you couldn't do before. very nice indeed :D


my goal is to break 27s without going over 3ghz, which is what i was trying to do originally. when i topped out at 27.3s, i decided to see what other people could pull off, thus why we have what we do here :cool:
 
glad ya gave me something to do in the lull between work and christmas shopping, hehe...

half day tomorrow and off friday so maybe i'll play around some more.
:D
 
definitly do. nothing better than playing with ram settings :D

i would have made it a 32m competition, but i don't have the patience for that :( :p
 
Eclipse..dual core? i only have a 146...i WISH i had a dual :p Will you get me one for x-mas/hanukkah/kwanza? :D
 
i have a 146 too, a dual core might be fun, but i like having high clock speed over multi core :p

neither is mine, same week and batch, from dave... i can prime stable on core 1 at 2800, but it fails on core 0...

typical dual core thing. if you have balls and an appropriate heatsink, try removing the heatspreader ;)

Well, you certainly can't blame it on Dave then. I have a weak core 0 too. It's prime stable at 2750 but 2800 I havn't really got it stable either. I think it hits a max at 2770, unless I jump the volts way up from 1.45 to 1.525. This is only burning in one core at a time too. Those temps are hitting 52c with an open case and 68f ambient temps. Interesting that we both have core 0 crapping out at the same speed.

i doubt elysian is blaming me for things. :) i'm just the provider of all things Opteron.
