Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

This is my 24x7 score if you look at the PI startup screen to the right you can see my best 1M. I forgot to to save a screenie

CPU, E8500 at 9x460 (4140 MHz) with a TU120E
MB, Asus P5E, BIOS 0903
Memory, 2x1 Patriot PC29600 at 1226 MHz
OS, Windows XP Pro SP3

Was running 4x1 on the memory with the 10.05 score, have pulled 2 sticks to try for sub 10 seconds. Two sticks make my Latency 48.3 ns, four sticks 49.8 ns, average from Everest. Don't know if it will work but going to give it a try once the Air Overclocking Gods unleash winter on the northern hemisphere.

Good thread

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

gotta love the cold winters for some serious OCing! thats some pretty quick RAM timings... good effort!

if you remember what the clock speed was on that 10 second score i'll throw it up there too

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

Best run so far with the new board.

CPU: E8600
Clock Speed: 4500MHz
2GB Kingston HyperX PC3 11000 @ 1333MHz (7-7-7-1N) KHX11000D3LLK2_2G
1 x WD 320GB SATAII
Vista Ultimate SP1 x64

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

Dam N nice voltages you got there! What Vtt and SB voltages are you using?

**ANZAC_ELITE** · 10-29-2008, 05:04 AM

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

cpuz is reading the NB voltage as VCore for some reason, VCore is actually 1.35v

In Windows under load (prime95 x64 v25.7) it is 1.33v

EDIT:

VTT is 1.2

SB is 1.5

Edit 2:

I have had the same problem with 4*1GB modules in this board as I had in the P5E3 so I ran memtest86+ v2.01 on them last night, one kit fails Test #8 horribly which is strange because both kits passed less than a month ago, I guess they were going and finally decided to go,

RMA in progress

Memtest Fail pic

And WTF is ImageShack up to???? might be time to recover my photobucket account,

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

Ahh, sounds like you killed them! Ya, I thought that was kinda low Vcore for that speed! Wonder why CPU-z does that, I have never seen it error. Maybe the speed has it loosing it's mind

Ya imageshack is about dead to me. I use tinypic.com nowadays for single pics and photobucket for alot at once

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

Seems strange they just decided to die, they've never been over 1333MHz and never been over voltage max spec, I guess it happens. They're only 10 months old too, RIP, lol

**Lsdmeasap** · 11-01-2008, 04:53 AM

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

Did you push them to tight maybe? That can kill em as well.

That is kinda quick to die too!

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

only to the 1066MHz 6-6-6-18, SPD is 914MHz 6-6-6-18, 1066MHz 7-7-7-20 so I doubt the extra 150MHz would be sufficient to knock them over. They're rated to run 1375MHz 7-7-7-20 at 1.7v according to the data sheet, KHX11000D3LLK2/2G so I really doubt 1066MHz 6-6-6-18 would be the cause.

The other 2*1GB kit that was installed during the same run is still working just fine.

To much voltage, left the window open, room was around 10c when I started, looks like 4 sticks are faster?

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

mmmmmmm, have to agree with you on the vcore, it is a "tad excessive" for air cooling, nice score though none the less.

So close to sub 10 too

Four modules equals double the capacity, bang the other two in and run it again, lol (j/k)

I don't think the board is up to much more, would post at 4.7 when I started but no Windows. Made Windows at 4650 locked up when I started Everest, 4635+\- stayed around just long enough to do a Everest memory test and play with the timings in MemSet. This is the second time I've pushed it and both times have topped out around 4610 using 9 or 9.5. 8.5 needs more FSB than the board has for 4.6. Even cooled it better this time with the side panel removed and a floor fan on high blowing on the board.

Close but no cigar on sub 10s

Time to have a few pints

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

mmmmmmmm, pints

That's not too bad an oc for you chip, I'm still struggling for 100% stability at 4.50GHz, hopefully the next bios revision will address a couple of little issues to do with GTL Ref voltages, currently the settings are +1 +2 +3 etc which make it virtually impossible to know what you're actually setting the voltage to without using a multi meter.

500MHz FSB is stable enough but I run into "issues" try to go much higher, more time needed in the bios untill I get used to it I think

**BongWizard** · 11-05-2008, 05:39 AM

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

yeah your definitely gonna need some better cooling on that... also try to drop the voltage down a bit... 1.528V after droop is a bit crazy... you could always try voltmodding the board in order to keep the voltage down a bit... some extra voltage and a touch more skew on the FSB might also help you get stable...

i've seen guys get that chip up to 4.82GHz on air and about 5.3GHz on water (on P45 boards)... so with a bit of tweaking you should be able to get 4.7 at least...

oh yeah... you could also try lapping the cooler and the CPU itself

Re: The TweakTown Official SuperPi 1M Top List

I'm using the native BIOS which is rather vanilla, would have to go to the Rampage Formula or P5E Deluxe BIOS to get Skew settings. The P5E Deluxe won't run my standard OC at 9x460 and the RF BIOS 0403 limited my ram to around 1150mhz with the same max FSB speed as the native BIOS, haven't tried the newer RF BIOS to see if they improved the memory stability, might do that.

Temps never really got out of hand, saw a 68c core as I remember. With the cool room and the floor fan the RAM and NB never got more than warm to the touch.
<o:p></o:p>
About all I can do is try a newer RF BIOS and see if I can pull a few more Mhz from the board and a little more from the RAM. Or try a new MB.

Thanks for the Comments
