Show Us Your WEI [4]

[essenbe]

I have my 3570K OC'd to 4.5GHz and still get a 7.7...........I think with 4 cores, and no hyperthreading, that's as good as it's gonna get.

You're correct. When I had mine I had it at 4.85 and got 7.7. I think that's all there is. When I sold it, I paid an extra $100 for a 3770K to get another .1 on my WEI. At 5.0 that only gets 7.8, and it's really no faster than the 3570K was.

Are you saying that you did get much "bang for the buck" Steve?

Sure I did, I got .1 increase on my WEI. Everything you get costs something. Santa doesn't visit me very often any more. It's just the price of being an enthusiast. It's an addiction, I can't help it.

EDIT: Now, back to reading about Haswell.

 

[Dave76]

From what I've read, Haswell may be more about lowering voltage then increasing performance. It's bound to have some performance increase, I hope.

What I read, it's back to old time overclocking. Rumor has it that they are going to have to have different frequencies for CPU core and uncore. Which I assume means back to the good old days of FSB. Maybe more like Sandy Bridge-E anyway.

I know what you mean. I've had a terrible struggle restraining myself from building a brand new computer, when the one I have is only 2 years old and perfectly capable.

I don't think Haswell is going to be all that astonishing to be honest. A little lower TDP, a little better on-chip graphics and probably not much else. The first platform to have DDR4 RAM will be the one to look out for.

Watch this

 

[Bungee18]

So here's my new one.
BIOS default settings, no OC yet.
Will update if I succeed, but have been unable to do even minor multiplier asdjustments and POST. Still trying to understand new board.
Cheers,

J

 

[essenbe]

Nice job, Bungee. Well done. Both you and VUK 40 have done well.

 

[LittleJay]

Great scores Bungee! Nicely done.

 

[Dave76]

Looks good Bungee, a little OC will be good to see.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Heres Mine

Hum same as mine Ascendents and got mine from just adding a card

 

[Bungee18]

Thank you guys.
Here's with the 4.5K OC I achieved thanks to Tommy's help.
Cheers,
J

 

[essenbe]

Looks like you have it running real well, Bungee. Congrats, great scores.

 

[Bungee18]

Thank you Steve.
I'm actually very happy!
Will probably do a milder OC or stock for 24/7 use. Processor is pulling 110W 100% of the time. :shock:
These AMD things are not green at all!
Cheers,

J

 

[essenbe]

If you can keep it cool, it shouldn't hurt to run it 24/7 like that. It's a 125W CPU pulling 110W. Not a problem I would think.

 

[glc]

Here is mine.
Wonder what you would need CPU and memory wise to get 7.9's.

Greg

 

[essenbe]

Well done. Very nice numbers, Greg. As far as a CPU for 7.9, I don't know, they haven't made it yet, if there ever will be one. I think I did see one though, but they were pouring liquid Nitrogen into it.

 

[LittleJay]

Great scores glc!
