Post Your Overclock! [2]

[ganjiry]

Nice scores folks
I shall let them know that its still crapping out on Handbrake. The version in my dropbox is the latest one, well it was at the time of the download.
You think those links were slow lol. You wanna try using the rog forums They've been adding "cough" improvements over the past few months which have all slowed the site down beyond belief. Everyone is getting proper p***eed with it as all the stuff they're adding is crap and instead of rolling the update out over night. They add something and test it then wait for feedback and ignore it

Try downloading drivers from their web site. I was downloading at 3kb/s the other night. I know I have a slow connection, but not that slow. It took 45 minutes for 1 driver.

No good is it mate i used to visit that forum a fair bit but since the load times have got so bad i just can't be bothered.They don't update the driver for my board so i never get them from Asus. The just ignore our rants about the load times and carry on adding useless extra's.
I forgot to say in the last post that the text will be white in the next version.

Edit: There is a thread regarding the Handbrake crashes http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?33797-Image-processing-error-and-handbrakeCLI.exe-failure! so hopefuly they'll have it sorted before long.

Morning all!

Had another go with it this morning, CPU at 4.8ghz.

I had the same issue with the Handbrake test crashing halfway through on all of the versions I downloaded. I cured it by slightly raising my Vcore. I know my system was stable before, but for some reason I think this test requires a little more.

Anyway, here's my best score, not going to try for any higher. That would put me in the top 10 on the ROG forums table.

Paul.

Proper nice score there chap fairplay
Yeah on the rog forum it says that the handbrake issue is down to system instability.

I got it here: ROG RealBench: Free App! Download Now! - Republic of Gamers

The problem is the genius who wrote it puts a dark red text on a black background, it's like a polar bear in a blizzard, invisible on my monitor at least. I knew it was a bench mark, I was asking what the scores are since ROG made them unreadable.
Wow, 373 MB for a test.

Edited to read it.

 

[paulpicks21]

Nice score Gary, so I take it you cannot see my score then? Maybe you need to make some adjustments to your monitor.

Paul.

what were all of your temps like with that test my cpu maxed at 100% during Encoding and got up there with heat

I didn't crash or anything like that I just felt the temps were to high for my taste they never got that high running IBT or Prime :sarc:

I got to the Video Encoding and that is when I seen everything rocket to 57c and climbing I try my best to keep the cpu from 61c although other claim it is fine

also mentioned max temp when closing the test was 60c MB 49c Cpu was at 57c

 

[paulpicks21]

Mine hit 77C at 4.8ghz, I did raise the voltage quite a bit for that OC though and obviously Ivy runs hot anyway.
At 4.6ghz my temps reached 66C.

yeah for some reason mine gets up there and I don't think it is normal

every test I run has me under and at good temps this one has me thinking it is pretty harsh on my system

Nice scores Gary

@Tommy ya know i can't remember the cpu temp when i ran it which means it didn't get too hot. I would have remembered it but i'll re-run it and find out for ya.

Hivizman on the rog forum said in a post that the benchmark is harder for him to pass than the stress test.

So I am not the only one then I suppose it reved up to 59c when I did it again and only on the video editing part the image part didn't peak past 35c

It must be a hard test on peoples computers then or certain one's I suppose it never crash I just don't like the temps


When I game for hours on ultra high or extreme settings I get to about 40c -44c max temps big difference there

 

[ganjiry]

Mine maxed out at 51c towards the end of the encoding test. my vcore is 1.464v.

 

[paulpicks21]

To be honest I didn't think it was that harsh on Temps, on IBT or Prime I will get into the high 70s low 80s iirc and at the same speed on this I got 66C.

Gaming is a different story again, usually I will max out at around 55C after a few hours playing Grid 2.

See what I am saying Paul temps on using stress programs give you in the high 70's I stress this computer many time and I have posted as well just it seems kind of weird from this one random test my temps skyrocket up

I have only gotten to 60c one time with prime and IBT and that was running 5ghz

So now im thinking maybe it isn't my unit just something else I suppose :sarc:

 

[essenbe]

My temps got up a little, but not as high as Prime or IBT. I think the highest I recall the CPU was 61, which is not bad at all. According to the guy who designed this test, it is not an artificial test like Prime and IBT. It is supposed to be a 'real world' test based on applications that people use and run. All the applications are open source, like handbrake. That is a commonly used program for people who do video encoding. Encoding is pretty CPU intensive anyway. I know there are a lot of people who disagree with me, but I think a 'real world' stress test that uses real world applications that people are actually likely to use is a better stability test than artificial tests that stress your CPU in ways you never will, and for the most part, can't.

 

[Solarstarshines]

I agree with.that just seems odd always read my chip maxes at 61c even though TJmax is 90c

 

[Britton30]

Nice score Gary, so I take it you cannot see my score then? Maybe you need to make some adjustments to your monitor.

Paul.

I can see scores with a magnifying glass. Just not enough contrast in the program. I have my contrast set up all the way. White fonts would be much better, or a light gray background.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Ok so I re ran the test and let it fly so after I let it fly for a while on the video encoding I got the Handbrake message like Kbrady so much for that it was fun trying though

 

[smarteyeball]

Patrick, I changed my D14 for a Corsair H100, and the D14 did a better job,

I recall that period. Tbh the more I've thought about it, the more I came to the same realization re custom watercooling.

Funny about that odd temp with only one fan. leads me to believe a faster 140mm would make more difference.
