... but for some reason I made spi x2 too , fixed now.
I found 2.0 slower on the 4770k vs 1.2 as well Dejo.
How did you get these scores Woomack?
Good run on that pentium too.
) Going to try and finish setting up my new CV F-Z with the 955 C3 revision with DDR3 2133 @ 9-10-9-24 (Ballistic Elite). To get us some Boint's on HWBot. My 2133's are not water cooled, and I do not wish to fry them
@Silver_Pharaoh
I was researching the AMD 955 to refresh my knowledge of it. I haven't OCed it in many years. I read Dolk's and Woomack's memory OCing guide. I also ran across another website ( Could have been OCN or (H) ) that was benching the 955. The FOLLOWING might be AMD only, the Intel guys will have to verify this.
1) I have G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 1866 @ 9-10-9-28 in my gaming rig. I could not get superpi below 17.9x - 18.0x ( I did get it to 16.xx once but forgot to take Pic's
..A) In reading that post, it said that AMD's IMC's love low tight timings. It also said: With all things being = ... DDR3 1333 @ 6-6-6-15 is the same as DDR3 2666 @ 12-12-12-30
2) I reset my 8370 to (2) core's ( OCed to 5.317) and lowered my DDR3 1866 to DDR3 1600 @ 7-8-7-23 1.7v ( Ram is water cooled )
..A) I ran BDC, set superpi to run on 2nd core only. I got a score of 14.xx
This is just for superpi.... the other bench software prefer RAW Bandwidth over Tight Timings.
That's it for now
PS: DO not take this the wrong way guys. I wish I had Woomack here to help me on the memory side.
MaddMutt, what it all comes down to is figuring out what the sticks will do with the Cpu and Board it is running in, as well as what the bench likes. A set of sticks will Oc differently depending on the platform they are on. I do not feel, it is that AMD cpu's like tighter timings per se, especially with the Pre Fx chips, as much as they in most cases will not do the big speeds like 2133+. So finding a set of sticks that will run, below for example 2000 Mhz with tight timings is better for them. I have a really good set PSC of benching sticks, G.Skill 2133 7-10-7 1.65 v. They will do 2400 Mhz at 8-12-8 all the way down to 1600 Mhz at 6-6-5, depending on the platform. This is also on ambient cooling and I've never had the sticks above 1.75 V. I have benched my 955 with these sticks onboard above 1800 Mhz with 7-8-7 timings.@Silver_Pharaoh

This is what I hate about being sick The 955's IMC will only do 1600, not that it can't be OCed over that. I dropped the ram to 1600 @ 7-8-7-15 and the CPU to 3800. I know the Thuban had a bad themal diode in the CPU die. It would be -13c + -16c off, you think you are running cooler than what you really are I can't remember if the x4's had that problem. Well I went from 3200 to 3800 @1.4250 with AI Suit and the temp never moved off 16c
I did not get a chance to run any benches If it booted into windows, I would (think to myself I can get this tighter) work on the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary timings. I have found out, that just a few .0xx increase in superpi can be the difference of +25 placing. This is down in the lower ranks, no WR run from me with just water cooling.
You don't need to conformal the whole board. Most of us either use, clear nail polish or Liquid Electrical Tape. around the socket and to the top of the board, the ram slots and down to the Pci E. I then put erasure around the socket, then make templates of frost king and Armflex self adhering tape to go around the socket to the heatsinks, ram slots and Pci-E.I know this is some month's away. When fall get's here, can I ask one of the Elite ( someone that has used Dice or LN ) to put a conformal coating on the CHV F-Z??? I'll send a money order along with the mobo to pay for the cost
