Introduction
I will be hosting a livestream this weekend for my LN2 benching sessions. Anyone interested is invited to come watch the extreme cooling, chat with other viewers, and learn more about extreme overclocking. If you aren’t free tonight, try and stop by tomorrow afternoon.
When: 8PM March 4th
Where: Overclocker's Live
Focus
I will be benching 2D apps only - superpi1m/32m, wprime32/1024, and CPU-Z. This is my second time taking this processor under LN2.
Hardware
CPU: 965 BE
MOBO: Crosshair IV Extreme
RAM: Gskill Trident 2x2GB
CPU Temps: -190C
Background
Last weekend, I found the limits of the CPU under LN2 for the first time so I'll be working mostly on fine tuning the CPU settings, specifically working voltages at 1.85V and up, and increasing CPU-NB/RAM frequency, and RAM timings.
Improvements from last session:
1. Using XP instead of Vista (I was out of town last weekend, and stuck on Vista as I was intending to bench 3D, but had hardware issues)
2. Improving RAM frequency and timings (I focussed only on CPU testing last weekend)
3. Increased CPU-NB frequency, for improved efficiency (performance product)
4. Applying SuperPi1m tweaks from the benching lounge to get my max scores.
5. Further testing for strongest cores (core 0 and core 1 seem best so far)
Previous Scores to Beat:
6686.04Mhz CPU-Z Validation - 21.1 Boints - 340th out of thousands of CPU-Z submissions, 41st out of 261 965BE submissions
10.608 Seconds SuperPi1M - 12.6 Boints - 3046th out of thousands of SuperPi1M submissions, 39th out of 204 965BE submissions
11 Minutes, 28.463 Seconds SuperPi32M - 6.3 Boints - 1953rd out of thousands of SuperPi32M submissions, 21st out of 104 965BE submissions
6.303 Seconds wPrime32M - 9.3 Boints - 1208th out of thousands of wPrime32M submissions, 35th out of 163 965BE submissions
3 Minutes 30.602 Seconds wPrime1024M - 5.4 Boints - 1057th out of thousands of wPrime1024M submissions, 25th out of 104 965BE submissions
