No RAM can bench pifast. 600 - 1000 MHz makes not 1 second difference not 6 or 9 cas


TBH I am wonderign why there is such a differnce in scores once OS is tweaked its all CPU speed.

Back in my 775 days I had better success with dropping the Mult and raising the FSB.



Shaved a sec off time. Can't wait to get some better sticks.

Yeah thats what I have been working on too... on X58 (237x19 anyone? lol)

Tried 2 sticks of RAM so I could clock higher... dual channel loses almost 2 seconds. Tried disabling link fast QPI mode (supposed to drop it to 12X multi??) nope lost 4 seconds.

I am going to run pifast a couple more times tonight, and then call it quits... and see if I can break 1.40 on superpi.

I have tweaked pifast before, but I either maxed my tweaks already or am missing something obvious.

Nice run ....

Yes, pifast is indeed an ugly wench... I found that most of the tweaks for Spi hurt pifast... ram helps, but it has to be an almost absolutely perfect balance of timings, including those retarded no-name subtimings..

quit working on the why's and who's of pifast since rick rolled me up and smoked me on Spi 8m, but if I can get close enough, I will be back on it and raping it once again...

*hint hint... how big is your screen? try different sizes for pifast.

Interesting...

I managed to knock a full .1 second off my initial pifast run, but no more than that. Think I will be cracking 1.40 8M tomorrow night when I get home... played around with wazza last night till about 4AM, needs 3-4 transfers of 4.5GB to make it effective. I found though, that hitting run 3-4 times on spitweaker and then cancelling it out does the same thing. So hopefully can save my SSDs

managed to pull high 1.40.xxx with only 3.4GHz uncore last night. Hoping the 4.2+ wazza will help me break it.

Only one thing left to try and I do not think that it will make 2+ seconds differnce.

Update for post # 7 - http://www.overclockaholics.com/foru...2804#post52804

It Lives! Took a chance and put the 980X in the Classified and it booted...and lookie what she brung me!

Lan was out at the end of the runs so I re-booted to put at defaults so I could submit...she refused to boot again. This may have been her last hurrah but it sure made my day!
