SuperPi & SuperPi 32m
 
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the most out of a SuperPi and SuperPi 32m run? Which OS is best? Any tweaks there are that might help? Mine aren't all that great and barely beat out my E8600 runs.

Yeah, I wouldn't think that i7 would do much better in supi 1 or 32. Isn't it a single thread benchie?

Ok nip I had a power outage and I think the surge eat my keyboard on the other rig. That's where all my tweak links are. Pretty much the jist of it is high clocks which you know. Then get your ram as fast and tight as you can, which you already know. The other tricks is what I got linkys for :D

Pretty much the two main tweaks are copy waza and maxmem. I'm gonna give you one link for a proggie that can do all of this for ya in a nice GUI, but what you wanna do for 32m is test with your maxmem set from a range of 600mb-648mb I think. Copy waza is nothing more than making a dummy file of a set size and copying from say c:/>d:>c:/........wait a few seconds watching your available memory start to increase and then start the bench. I'm gonna try and get this other rig back to normal and then I'll bombard you with links which are mostly for spi tweaks ;)

Yes it is a single thread bench, but clock for clock nahelem rules due to the retardedly fast memory bandwidth and reduced latency. E8600 is still 1m king due to the retarded clocks it can reach.

Thanks Chuchnit.

Oh yeah try and run 32m with silver luna and green luna theme.

Well the spitweaker is bs. I have tried it a good 10-12 times with no noticeable results. The theme change is also kinda some bs as my quickest time was done with the blue theme. I accidentally ran it in that theme, realized it and switched it to the silver theme for every other run. Each of those was slower than the blue run as well as they were used in conjunction with the spitweaker. I can't call it. I have seen people rave about the utility that it worked. I guess not for everyone. About the only thing that caused a noticeable difference was dropping the mult and raising the blck same as with the 775 but raising the fsb.

Here is all the sites with tweak info that I could find. I honeslty haven't read all of them yet. Just skimmed to see if it's work bookmarking. Try reading through some of these.

Good lookin chuch and good lookin on the last tweaks as well. I forgot to say but I did manage to go from 9m 89s to 9m 03s on a 4.2ghz clock. You ask how? Well I reloaded my hdd and upon doing so I realized that I forgot to do a defrag on my last install. Upon doing it on the new drive it noticeably gave me a boost. I also did the install with a 4.2ghz overclock as I saw online that installing with an overclock somehow improved runs. So that is where I am at.

Improved my time by about 1 minute. I used Vista 64 at that!!! I used the classic theme in it and it seemed to love it. More than XP. Maybe that is the ultimate tweak. Not going to upload this to the Bot as I know I can break into the 7's.
