Same problem here :(
Can't even bench pifast at 4200 Mhz even if I boot lower :(
It's too hard ...


The following result doesn't count I forgot to open the mobo tab and cputweaker .

Hondacity 07-02-2010 06:34 AM

no fair!!! thats a 24Gigahurtz cpu!!!

Splave 07-02-2010 06:35 AM

what is hexusfastR, is it running from ram drive?

nice first score :)

Patch 07-02-2010 06:41 AM

Just so it's officially addressed, I'm assuming we can't freeze RAM?

Sounds fun, but sort o defeats the purpose of a tweak fest.......

Clock Limits: CPU @ 4000mhz | Uncore @ 4200mhz
what is uncore 4.2 mean i didn't really understand it

Hondacity 07-02-2010 07:43 AM

open two cpuz apps...one with cpu tab..the other with memory tab open...

also download cpu tweaker... i don't have the link to it though..

what is the cpu tweaker for? i know what is used for but why do i need it to be open too?
:Dizzy:

Splave 07-02-2010 07:54 AM

prioaff.exe doesn't work for Gulftowns and cpus with more than 2 cores .
It's hard though to set priority to pifast while it's running, actually it's impossible . That's why hipro modified it .

To set priority or affinity on your benchmarks you need to download Prifinity 2 .

peace

Hondacity 07-02-2010 08:09 AM

googling priofinity 2

sounds like a geek movie :D

sofos1990 07-02-2010 08:14 AM

Here it is :D

Do what you want mang. I'm all about it. Tweak/test until your hearts desire and freeze the piss out of your memory when you know your target timings that are important. :)

Chuchnit 07-02-2010 10:07 AM

kiki you need to knock 200mhz off the core speed.

Chuchnit 07-02-2010 03:38 PM

Alright ladies I'm testing P55 tonight and tomorrow. I figured I'll give you gals a head start. Be afraid when Sunday hits :P

Jor-El 07-02-2010 03:42 PM

I will have to give it a go! Nice competition!

Your CPU mhz can't be any higher than 4ghz and your uncore aka NB can't be higher than 4.2ghz. You can find that in the memory tab in cpuz.

Lots !!

1.92 bios, 1.93 on the DMM.

Splave 07-09-2010 06:45 PM

Im sitting at 21.05 atm :) nice work goat. Will try for more than next day or 2

69_Goat 07-09-2010 07:14 PM

My scores were bouncing around from 21.03 to 21.06

I had a 21.01 at one point, but crashed saving the SS.

Went to i4 and read up eva's Dominator review thread and applied some of his subtimings.

I've gone through 3 different installs of Chucky's XP. Started with a fresh one today and applied all the tweaks I could find.

Chuchnit 07-10-2010 02:31 AM

Well you took the wind out of my sails. Sick run man. Looks like I'll be beating my head going after that score.

started testing the limits of my ram :thumbsup: Noticed my uncore was getting too high so just wanted to see if it would run. 1.75vdimm so we have wiggle room

Broke 21s :)
Tweaks to try that cut some time.
-Hexus PIFastR
-Right click properties run maximized
-Lowest trfc possible -shaved .05s from 68-60

Really? My installs seem to take forever on SSDs, but they are both MLC drives.

Splave 07-10-2010 06:48 AM

Benchzowner XP on SSD takes like 3 minutes for realz

Hey Splave, I noticed a couple issues in your screenshot.
CPU-Z is showing 6 GB or ram, but tweaker is only showing 2.
Also the RTL is showing 0, this indicates the cpu isn't recognizing all the ram. I had the same thing on my P6T. For me it was usually too little v-dimm.
Causes I know of are:
-Not enough v-dimm for the speed or timings
-Poor pin contact in the socket
-Bad IMC (God forbid)
-Moisture in the Dimm slots (I found this out today, it's really humid here)

The other thing is the refresh interval. I think this number should be lower. I believe it is determined by memory strap selection in the bios.
I'm not sure exactly what it's called. As soon as my board dries out, I'm gonna do some testing to find out how it is affected.

This is likely enough info for you to trounce my score quite handily.

I had a 20.98 run completed, only to notice my uncore was sitting at 4209. Bitch. :ohcrap:
