Help with setting up a bencher - Page 2

Yeah, it is very possible. Those 1tb drives are slower than smaller drives.

Dammit.

Well I gave my CPU VTT voltage a bump and it dropped my runs .2-.3 so maybe something is just set off.

How big is the partition you are benching on? I always install my 2d bench partitions first, as they are then held to the center of the drive. Keep the partitions under 50gb and you should pick some speed back up there as well.

Don't forget to defrag a lot.

haven't tried defragging. My partition is just one, 900+ whatever the size is lol

Right now my runs tseem to be on par, a tad slower, but I also got some new RAM since last time so I didn't notice and my timings were super loose. now the issue is I can't go over 4.6 GHz. I used to do that with my eyes closed!

minimal boints, but at least it's a start. I had not benched in a couple of months. Hopefully soon I'll get a SSD for the bench rig with some crazy fans so that I can use the PSU that I believe it was hit and run sent me. Then I'll expect better numbers. For now, not bad. Still on my quest to hit 30k in 06. what will it take????

Dude, that is sick-ass on air.

My air clocks can't come quite to that w/out a/c help. Good stuff man.

Thanks dude. my goal was to hit 28k, but I can't get frustrated if the conditions are not right. First off I had my main rig crunching at 100% and folding at 100%. That added heat plus it was 101ºF today. With cooler ambients and a better HDD I'm sure I would have had much better results. I usually bench 3d at 4620 MHz, as you see I was at 4545MHz or something like that. In 3dmark 06 that could have been the 300 points difference between hitting 28k and not.

nice work CP

4.6ghz is amazing not on cold.

Thanks splave

4734 MHz is the most I've gotten out of this puppy without HTT for a super pi run

Decided to do some AMD 2D benching on a Xiggy S1283 Cooler. THis is a closed case, one fan only daily rig.

So far I'm at 4080 MHz, 16.988 in super pi. Max temp 36ºc

Screenies shortly, still going for more
