What's your memory assessment speed?

[Fizban]

thats ok for 2gb ddr2 667, dont forget your 667 is really 333mhz (double data rate) eg: mine is 1800 which is 900mhz.

i would call that acceptable.

Processor is doing a bit better now, the 97 MB/s was with Windows 7 Build 7000 x86. Now getting 107ish MB/s with Build 7057 x64. Not as big of a difference as I expected when going from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS, but I won't turn down a ~10% gain.

so are running in dual channel or not?
cuz my lappy (read "mobile ram")
scores this...

this is at 400mhz
and also
not running dual channel....

smarteyeball, I used PC Pitstop's TechExpress .... you know they're all different
PC Pitstop OverDrive Tests Overview

No way am I top, but my but my machine gets me where I need to go and do what I need to do

That's all you need. Anything else is a bonus.

Monkey see.... Thanks Jacee

(I crowed too soon about stability. After installing the CAT 9.3 drivers and a Razer Lachesis driver (via Windows Update!) I had 4 BSOD and one app crash with looping sound yesterday. Two system restores later, it seems to be 'behaving' again )

i got a feeling this rely on your net bandwidth more than its actual tests.

dang it Smarteyeball! u beated me lmao ur 3d video and disk marks only just overtook me! if only i had that slipstream/wind tunnel?!?

im using firefox if that can contribute, had to download their plugin
i liked their 3d tests with the spinning cubes.

who ever said benching cant be fun?

can anyone tell me is this program they advertise, PC Pitstop Optimize2, actually work and is it safe for win7 x64? i have used reg cleaners before on vista x64 and i didnt realize it was not x64 friendly, corrupted a whole heap of registries (another fresh install).

now i know where Jacee got the scores from (i was starting to get worried on post #67) lol

lol, you beat me where it counts Who said 100mhz doesn't make a difference? Spinning Cubes FTW

However you do have a quad SLI....:huh:

I'm not familiar with the app, but I would stay clear of it. Generally it's better to make those sort of adjustments manually. More time involved, but you have more of an idea what gets broken if it does and more chance to fix it.

 

[bloke]

well i got bored and bumped it up to 4ghz, and dropped my ram to 1766 but kept the timings the same, this is the results: ps sit down before you view



yep higher mem score with same timings, lower mem speed and higher fsb.

 

[smarteyeball]

Well that's a nice increase on your CPU assessment and I'm still jealous of those volts

Although it's not a huge drop in mhz, but a lower RAM mhz = higher ? :huh: Then again a higher FSB = quicker total overall bandwidth...

 

[bloke]

i cant be bothered getting the GTL's stable for 4ghz tho. maybe later this year. lol its more of a brag rights thing to sit it at 4ghz, it is only 170mhz away from my 3.83 stable setup so not much point. maybe 4.2ghz

i just thought the mem speed would have more of an affect than fsb settings on ram. guess we learn something new everyday. 83mhz increase on fsb, 34mhz decrease on ram= 100mb/s increase in winsat.

 

[Jacee]

@ bloke... PC Pitstop Optimize2 hasn't been tested with Win 7. You don't need it anyway

 

[bloke]

Spinning Cubes FTW

u mean wtf?

 

[bloke]

@ bloke... PC Pitstop Optimize2 hasn't been tested with Win 7. You don't need it anyway

yeh i wasnt too sure, i d/led it to check it out but didnt actually use it, like i said i tried a similar prog on vista x64 and it corrupted my registry cos it wasnt designed for x64 just x32, thought id ask anywayz.

anyone know of a good defragger for win7 x64?

 

[jfar]

Hi BLOKE, Thanks for the reply I will go now and see if I can find out all the info you talked about and see if I can fix this ,Thank You And AUSLOGIGS is a good Defragger.

 

[smarteyeball]

lol, yeah. e-peen is ok, but if it's not going to give an increase in FPS, then a few hundred points on a few scores isn't really worth running the chip so hard. Then again...

i just thought the mem speed would have more of an affect than fsb settings on ram. guess we learn something new everyday. 83mhz increase on fsb, 34mhz decrease on ram= 100mb/s increase in winsat.

Yep. I don't feel so bad about running my 1100mhz ram at 888mhz anymore. If I want the speed, up the FSB

+1 for Auslogics defragger too.

 

[bloke]

got my cpu stable at 3.9ghz, 1837mhz fsb, mem is at 2004mhz (1002mhz) got the timings as low as i could go, not too different from when i was running them at 1801mhz.
cpu idle is 1.320, 100% intel burn test drops as low as 1.264-1.248, i set the vcore in bios to 1.36325 and the bios value shows 1.32. goes to show how much vdroop these things have, and it gets worse when getting into a higher fsb/vcore which is why i think i have so much trouble going over 3.9ghz. anyway...

winsat increases a little.

Looks good bloke, has your WEI gone up.

 

[bloke]

Looks good bloke, has your WEI gone up.

no mind you if i had 7057 it prob would as 7000 x64 is limited to 5.9 for ram, even if you theoretically score more than 5.9 and only have 4gb ram it will not tell you which sucks. but whether it goes up is a different story in 7057.

i seem to hit a wall at 1885fsb, i reduced the multi to 7, under clocked my ram so it wouldn't be an issue, and hit the fsb to 1886, no post. 1885 it posts no problem? i suppose this is the disadvantage of a 8.5 multiplier. and 1885 fsb with 8.5 multi is 4005mhz, which i cant get to boot anyway. lol

 

[smarteyeball]

It's looking good either way mate

I've got weird issues with vdroop. CPU-Z shows my volts going UP instead of DOWN when running IBT and P95.... ie idle at 1.336 then under load up to 1.344 and higher etc I don't know if it's LLC or something else, but I have a high overshoot that needs to be tweaked :shock:

yeh sounds like the llc feature, have you tried looking for a pencil mod or something for your bored?

 

[smarteyeball]

Yeah, so far I haven't found one. Haven't really searched to hard TBH. All the references I've found mention that the LLC is "supposed" to be the pencil mod

I crash like the Hindenburg with it disabled
