Post your SuperPi Score!

Have you raised the CPU voltages?

It seems like so many people think all you have to do is raise the FSB. When in reality there are so many other factors.

For example, for me to reach 3.3Ghz I had to lower the ram speed, raise the timings, increase the ram voltage, raise the vcore, set the FSB to 1.5v, disable specific chipset and CPU features, and a whole lot more.

 

[Kornowski]

If you want a small OC then you can just raise the FSB, right?

 

[PabloTeK]

I got to 2.0GHz without raising the voltage.

 

[Kornowski]

I managed to get 2.2GHZ without touching anything but the FSB... I'm back at stock now though.

You could probably hit 2.2Ghz without touching anything else, but then your RAM will become a bottleneck, most likely before you need to increase the voltage.

Have you raised the CPU voltages?

I raised it by .5v and it still froze. Maybe I need to cut my RAM in half and increase the voltage of everything? lol

I think the other reason I am hesitant to put it any higher is when I use Orthos or Prime95, the temp can get up to 70C. I'm not sure if CoreTemp is just reading my cpu wrong, or what. It says it's now at 43C, and that seems a bit hot for idle.

How can an OC'ed X2 @ 2.46 not beat a stock E6300 @ 1.86, I know Intel is better, but it's OC'ed?

My 3200+ at 2.4GHz beat that by one second, that doesnt sound right.

 

[taylormsj]

Yeh but that application doesnt use 2 cores - only one - ALso kornowski - ive got old DDR ram and 1gb of it you have 2 DDR 2. Plus skt 939 suck now ??

It doesn't use RAM does it, I thought it was just the CPU?

haha

 

[Kornowski]

haha

Yeah, That was helpfull, dumbass!

 

[DrCuddles]

haha

Why do you post in such a manner, you are just going to get yourself a bad reputation and banned fool.

Yeah, That was helpfull, dumbass!

I concur, im sitting next to him telling him to stop posting this stuff but he says he doesnt care, he also just reported us for sending each other's PMs

I wish he would grow up

 

[Kornowski]

he also just reported us for sending each other's PMs

lol So, It's not like it's against the rules!

See if you can run Super Pi on the School PC's Andy, see what they can do

Core 2 Duo's are very efficient processors, I'm not that surprised.

It mainly uses the CPU, but since you are running it to 1M then it does make a difference how much cache you have, and how fast your RAM is. It's not going to lower it a couple seconds by any means, but if you have DDR2-533 running at high timings, and then go to say, DDR2-800 at low timings, it might make a slight difference and decrease the time a second or so.

 

[Itanda]

Wow.. 38 seconds.. Is that because its not overlocked.

Ah right, it makes sense now, thanks for clearing that up

Haha, im jsut running it on my pc at home now, didnt read that bit till i got home, anyway i will definately do it tommorrow see which IT room is the best to be in

 

[Jughead]

Here is mine at 19 seconds
