Time for me to upgrade ??

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok,running IBT now, the rest tomorrow, i could do this all night, but would pay dearly for it tomorrow ;)

1st pass = Time (s) Speed (GFlops) Result
178.560 43.1659 3.188401e-002

temps 52-53, vcore= 1.68

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Save BIOS profile and run IBT at default bclk, I am not sure about the Flops but they seem kind of low.
Make sure no other applications are running aside Core Temp(minimized) and let the computer idle for 5 minutes before running it.

Have a good night.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, finished three passes at 4096, temps stayed 53C or less, vcore seemed steady at 1.168

Time (s) Speed (GFlops) Result
178.560 43.1659 3.188401e-002
178.936 43.0753 3.188401e-002
179.194 43.0132 3.188401e-002


not sure what all those numbers mean, but will read read read tomorrow......haha

and will download and run the other tests you recommended, thanks again, i need sleep, ttyt ;)


ps: a monster i tell ya, u created a monster ! ;)

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Gflops is all that matters, just so you don't have to waste time writing down the residual & residual (norm) numbers

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

It's copy and paste i believe, not too much work.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

test in ibt without multithreading enabled,youll find gflops increase however for day to day running enable multithreading

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

oops.........all was running well when i went to bed, but, just turned the computer on this morning and bios said I had been a bad boy, (black box, then a red box, saying my cpu and memory were overclocked.....and automatically put cpu back to 2.8,(133x21) memory back to 1333 (9-9-9-24, 133x10)

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

It changes BIOS settings or just run this way?
Try booting cold again and see if it happens, could be bit more VTT and DVID is needed.
Instead of DVID you can set vcore to a hard value. This mean it won't be lowered when CPU is idle, not that big difference in power consumption though.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, cold booted..........big red box in bios screen says : "The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes of voltages. Last settings in the page may not coincide with current H/W states."

<Press any key to continue> brings me to current status page........... bclk 133, cpu freq 2800, memory 1333 (10x), vcore 1.12, dram 1.568v, qpi freq=4800(36x), uncore freq=2400(18x), turbo ratio 21, memory 9-9-9-24

looking into the bios, all other bios pages are unchanged from last night when i went to bed......(and didn't change anything past when i messaged you last time, last nite) .........

then windows loads......and runs with the alterted , (evidently default..) settings

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

so increase vtt to what ?, its 1.23 now.........................and to the DVID and Vcore what ?

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

left DVID and VCore unchanged and increased QPI/vtt to 1.25 and it booted fine, no red box error.........and automatically put cpu back to 160x21 = 3.36, memory back to 160x10=1600, 8-8-8-24

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Did you try cold boot too?
Please check task manager and see how many CPUs are loaded during IBT, it may be smart and only run just 1 thread on each physical core.

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

yes, it cold boots fine into OC'd settings now.......i guess increasing qpi/vtt to 1.23 to 1.25 worked ;)

ummmm, just ran ibt, max stress level , 6687mb's as i recall, Hyperthreading on,,,,,got like glops of 43.xxx,,,,,,max core temps were like 63



<Please check task manager and see how many CPUs are loaded during IBT, it may be smart and only run just 1 thread on each physical core>
ok, lemmie do that now.........should i run ibt with ht on or off ?.

[wazza300]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

run it with ht off and see you gflops increase,but turn back on after as it wont be so quick in everyday tasks ect

[Chike]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Mo meed for max, run 2048MB or 4096MB, but it's important to know how many threads are running.
For 4 threads 512/768 per thread is enough.
To be able to compare we need a run at stock settings (aside VTT).
Also try with and without HT see if there's any difference.
