Same shit happened to me. I thought the uncore would droop enough to be right at 4.2.

I tried my 32m waza but with a 700mb maxmem and it did nothing. Maybe I need to try different sizes? LSC seems to do nothing other than make your runs more consisitant. Without LSC it was a crapshoot on my times.

Not bad man. Not bad at all.



Here is my contribution so far. I thought I spanked them asses until I realized my uncore was 9mhz too high. Here is that one.




This will be my current official submission. Man did I pick a crappy uncore speed. Makes it a bitch to keep the CPU and uncore at optimized speeds. I've got like 3 different runs at 21.00s at different multi/bclocks. Goofy little bench this is. Next it testing specific sub timings.

Edit: NOT VALID!! I just noticed the core speed in cputweaker. Too many mhz :(

i don't have air or water...i only have a coppoer pot

[Chuchnit]

Wtf do you use to do OS installs?

[Hondacity]

the pot...installs take minutes on ssd's

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

chuch what is the ruling on air conditioning? Cant be below 65F ambient? Or all you can get. No chilling with ln2 on radiators or HSF's

I'm guessing water is gonna be a have to thing to get ok participation. Doesn't bother me any at all if that's what you guys want.

I'm glad I wasn't able to respond when I first read this. At first I was all for it, but now I'm not so sure. I'm kinda 50/50 on capping the uncore too. If we do it, it needs to be atleast 4.2ghz maybe?

Well I think everyone needs to be reasonable here. I mean if you want to pay the power bill to pull your house down to 60f to bench then I don't have a problem with it. I think chilled air/water or pouring ln2 on the hsf kinda goes against the spirit of what we are trying to do here. If this was for some good prizes then I'd say go for it, but the goal here is to have fun and get everybody excited and active benching again; myself included.


Maybe we can add some cheap prizes later, but really I just want to have fun, talk some shit and learn some tweaks for pifast. Now just wait till Kal gets in here. That guy can talk some smack.


@ Honda - what pot is that? Plus how many damn pots do you have? Please don't tell me you have as many pots as you do ram kits

[Hondacity]

lemme see i still have one pot coming from mr d8r...i can't remember his full nick )

[Chuchnit]

Alrighty guys what do you think about this?

- Air/Water only
- No chilled water, force inducted chilled air cooling. If you want to bench in a 60f house then that's fine.
- CPU mhz cap at 4ghz?
- Uncore mhz cap at 4.2ghz? I'm 50/50 on this. 4.2ghz still leaves room for high ram clocks.

Tell me what you guys want so we can finalize the rules and adjust the dates. It has been discussed to maybe throw in a cheap VGA for HTPC or 2d benching usage. That's not final though.
