Yeah my score doesn't seem all that great...

try running second time
twice after eachother, some cpu's have that problem.
Don't run any program while benching.
also ram could improve your score.

 

[Pyotr]

I'm telling you, there is something weird with it!

 

[Laquer Head]

Okay, finally broke 8900

I think everything above it will be unstable... Idk, but its not a problem with the app, because it blocks nothing.

 

[wolfeking]

also ram could improve your score.

I still don't understand why. when running the program im only using about 2GB, so unless it is just giving points away from more ram then adding more ram should not do anything.

 

[wolfeking]

Anybody reckon they can go beyond 9000?

let me get a water cooler and 16GB of 2133 and I will almost guarantee it.

You gonna spend that much for just getting over 9000 ?

 

[wolfeking]

not really. I want faster RAM as is because my render times went down when I OCd to 1866, so I could get the fastest times with 2133. I think that is the fastest that my board supports.

Water cooler is just to bring temps down some more. I am stable at 4.7 right now, but it is 77* average on average load temps. I want to bring it down, and hit 5GHz too.

I can't give you the trust that you'll hit the 9000. Because cpu's got oc limits from where it will not increase performance anymore...

 

[wolfeking]

well I am already at 8850, so faster RAM and a bit higher clock will get there most likely. If not, it will still definitely be either the top score or 2nd best.

And not to knock the knowledge, but that does not make any sense at all. If you make it stable and faster, performance goes up. 5GHz does more work than 4.5GHz every time, unless it is not stable.

Yep, but up to 5ghz will be more difficult to get it stable. (Tried it with stock cooler, ran prime, saw my temperature going above 90 ;p)

But I got my fingers crossed for you.

there is your issue number 1.

It should be easy enough. I will try a run at 1866 with 5ghz and see what I can get later.

Yeh, still considering to take the h60 or the antec kuhler 620

 

[wolfeking]

Im going with the H series when I get it. It looks to be easier to install than the antec coolers.

 

[Virssagòn]

With which one you wanna go?
(I want the h80, but I don't wanna pay that much)

 

[wolfeking]

probably either H80 or H100. Not sure yet. Depends on if I go for a new motherboard with it or if I just grab RAM and a cooler.

I read that there is almost no difference between these. Like 2-3 maybe 4 degrees..

 

[wolfeking]

That is mainly, as long as memory serves right, because they have about the same area. The 80 is double thick, but still only a 120. The 100 is single thick but double fan. Either should do, but I still like the idea of 2 fans for top exhaust.

Yeah, it has his advantages.
The fans are loud have I heard, but if you are like me, I don't give attention to that.
