I have a little issue here with the clocks reported by CPUZ. I mean I have see this before but never worried to much since there was no clock limit. Well I run 214x21 which in my book is 4494. CPUZ shows is as 214.5x21 which is 4504. If I drop the multi by one you all know what will happen. I supposed there is no way of fixing this anyway?

Splave 09-06-2010 07:56 AM

you can see if you can change it with setfsb... Ive been getting the same alot too

Thanks master! I'll give it a go! :thumbsup:

I use 215 multi and it shows slightly over 4.5GHz in bios but cpu-z reports 4498MHz. When I use 214 multi cpu-z shows 4480MHz.

Causes issues with USB/PATA devices.

Well 4400 MHz CPU 1600+ mem at 6-6-6 does at least.

Dropped to stock and no more issues.

hmmm..
that may be my prob

i just can not get the usb to work

214 shows 4482 for me and 215 shows 4503.7 :s

I broke the 1 minute 40 second mark already but could not get a valid screenshot because of that :(

When you update a score remember to type "updated" beside your name.

There should only be three pictures in your submission at any given time. (PiFast, SPI 8M and your rig pic)

When you update your scores do the math...enter the correct times and total for your current submissions.

Be certain you have the desktop background in all of your entrys.

Failure to adhere to these rules will result in your submission being denied or put on hold. (per RomDom) :good:

got it! :good:

Yeah, I get the same when using the 920.

Witchdoctor 09-06-2010 09:18 AM

That's what I get with my 920 to ??? sucks ... 214 is it for me....

I am stinking up the place anyway .... Win 7 64 bit = FAIL :shock:

Like Splavestick said! Use SetFSB. You will be able to adjust it a little more for a screenie.

Shit, just typed a nice long intro, then didn't save it - DOH

Anyway, not sure if this is where to post so if it's not, please could a mod move them for me. More bad news is my fastest pifast I saved as a bpm file that's over 5MB and, ummm, kinda won't fit :thumbdown:

So, I'll post the mandatory rig shot. I'm starting with an x58 762/980x with chilled water. I'm still reading on superpi cause I'm such a S-Pi NOOB it's not even funny hopefully I'll get it in time to grab all the prizes at the end of the contest

So now I'll post the rig pics and my next fastest pifast, and look to get a Superpi up by the end of the night :P

Kal-EL 09-06-2010 10:33 AM

Yah, this isn't the submit thread CrazyDaawg, but before we do any moving, I have an idea, open your screenshot (bmp) file and take a screenshot of the screenshot and save as JPEG. That should get you motor running.

Then look in the Contest section, the link is upper left on the sidebar ;)

^or just open it in paint, save as, and change the file system on the bottom to jpg :)

see...
make sure post something on here about it =) :thumbsup:
let the guys know about it

Neuromancer 09-06-2010 02:43 PM

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.

Witchdoctor 09-07-2010 02:06 AM

Nice run ....

FACE 09-07-2010 02:48 AM

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.. :laughing:

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... :thumbsup:

*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! :D
