Official Superpi Mod Ranking Thread

Just did a little OC on my C2Q. :) For my motherboard, the high FSB of the Core 2 Quad forces me to do an "overclock profile" rather than a normal fine-tuned OC, so I could only put it up to 3.3GHz on stock volts due to its linkage with the RAM.

yeah it's 1/2 of what it shows in the bios just like ram etc. My QPI on my I3 is at 8800 (4400 actual in cpuz)

Oh yeah, DDR and all that. I could easily OC the G6950 higher, I've got it to 4.5 stable, its just then i have to downclock the RAM meh. I'd need a BCLK of 266 to get 1600MHz RAM with 6x SPD
 
CPU clockspeed is a MUCH larger factor than ram speeds.

With the 8 ram multi, and 215 base clock x21 for 4.5ghz, your ram won't run 1720 with stock timings? Thats only a small overclock on the ram, it should be able to do that. You may need more VTT voltage to get it stable, like 1.25 or 1.30 or something around there.

Even if your ram can't do 1720 then, use the x6 multi for 1290mhz and tighten the ram timings to 8-8-8-20.

Now you've said that I may give it a go, I just crap myself every time someone mentions messing with RAM. IDK why lol.

My motherboard is an Asus M4A87TD, my RAM is 1333mhz 9-9-9-24, my processor voltage is actually about .03v lower than stated in CPU-Z(according to the BIOS)

Nice. 17 seems a little slow though? Also, I forgot to add that the voltage of 1.312v shown in CPU-Z of my screenshot is 1.3000v in the BIOS, or at least that's what i set it to


EDIT: higher IPC FTW

How dare you take my number 5 spot :P


I'm gonna be benching a 560BE and a 955 BE on LN2 so I should take the AMD crown as well as I'm looking to pop my 6ghz cherry on one or both of those chips :D

sweet... 6ghz should be interesting... :good:
