|Official|Black Hole: Benchmark Ranking thread

Its not going to be great. your running 1333 RAM and a dual core and so far everyone running here is on at least quad cores.

ram doesn't make that much sens, maybe 100-150 points max. And that i3 has 4 threads.
If he can clock it to 5ghz, it will be a decend score I think.

plain and simple he wont hit 4GHz, let along 5GHz. It is a sandy bridge i3. 100 MHz, maybe 150MHz is all your going to get.
 
the issue is not with it being an i3, the issue is with it being a sandy bridge processor. They become unstable very easily when playing with the baseclock. 108 baseclock is about the max anyone will get. That would put him at 3500 MHz MAX.

But he slashed a great score in my app with it.

He did but it wasn't an overclock he'd be able to keep really. I can't remember how high he had his voltage in order to get it to boot at 5.0GHz, but it was pretty high IIRC and we all know that more voltage = more heat.

yep, I know >:S
He had in the 1.5 for voltage :P

Upgrade from 1333 to 1600 MHz didn't make biggest different. Not really worth it, wasted money. It would only increase by 1 to 3 FPS from upgrade RAM. It is sad that my two stable RAM is gone :( I have other two RAM and it is unstable while overclocked to 1500 MHz.

haha, hmm I see, he had an i3 once oc to 5ghz. But not the one he has now...

That was a Clarkdale i3. It wasn't a stable overclock though, and it was done using software, not through the BIOS.

Actually it is 1.6 volt to getting my overclocked to 5 ghz. That was i3 540, not i3 2120

I had changed base clock but it was crashed. It can be due to insufficient voltage for base clock.

PS, i think i put wrong RAM slot, my two RAM installed and is current single channel.

He will probably keep it for a while too. Im running 4.1GHz right now, but I can say for sure that I tap out on this board at 4.7 to 4.8 depending on the day. New build with a new cooler should clock better.

I know I can score higher, but the app will not run through if I clock past 4.9GHZ.. it just stops working.

I tried a ton of settings and voltges..etc but 5.0+ will not work..
 
hmm... I'm going to try 5GHz at 1.5V right now and see if I can run the app. If it don't then there may be an issue with the app. It is interesting to see that you can't. So I guess what I am saying is I am going to try and reproduce the problem and see what happens.

I hope you got your new cooler then?
 
big deal. I still think I throwed away $100 by getting it. They are not that great, and probably never will be. But it can be good enough in a time savings of waiting for it to reboot after it does its ASrock blue screen issue.
