Making a win10 install solely for xtu when most other benches are on win7.... Xtu 6.4.1.12 running on all cpu generations on windows 7 needs to be fixed, at least i will strive for that on my pc.

Thanks mate :-) Curious to see if i screwed up on win7 or if other users have the same issues...

Win7 support will end 2020. Xp is still used here as well as vista and 7. I tried win10 pro 32 and got worse scores on xtu than on w7. Plus i find the GUI ugly and the os is heavy. In companies everybody is on 7... The issue is to fibd out if the new newer xtu version will force to be on win10 or not... From what i see, sandy stops at xtu 5.2 x, ivy at 6.0.x when on win7

watchdog says present but not present at boot https://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=554362xtubug.png for IME, when I install XTU, the IME driver version does not change. I installed manually ver 9.x, it stayed the same. I went to 11.05, stayed there I also get this driver signature message at the end of XTU installation ME firmware revision is 8.1.x in the bios, I had updated it

Does the version of Intel Management Engine (IME) to do anything with XTU ? 11.0.5.1189 is installed Intel watchdog, what is that, is required ?

Thanks for the screenshots. I bet users with Windows 7 (and perhaps windows 8.x) will have issues... latest ver 6.1.x not working on M5F + 3570 so far only latest 5.2.x and 6.0.x working on M5F + 3570 + Win7 Pro 64 bits

My impression is that haswell prefers 2600+ cas8 than 2800+-3000+ cas9 ?

This is what I was getting yesterday on 6.4.1.12. The cpu was not recognised, and as could be expected, the bench would not start. 3570 on M5F. With 6.2.x and 6.3.x same issue. 5.2.x and 6.0.x ok, 6.1.x I suppose is ok, will try tonight. https://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=554362xtubug.png https://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=424283xtubug2.png You are both on Windows 10 ? PS: all drivers put for the board, IME / cpu. PS2: tried at stock or with a different bclk, same story

Hello, Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't XTU only compatible with the last 3 generations of Intel cpus ? That is : 6.4.x supports Coffee, Kaby and Skylake 6.3.x supports Kaby, Skylake and Broadwell 6.2.x supports Skylake, Broadwell and Haswell 6.1.x supports Broadwell, Haswell and Ivy Bridge 5.2.x supports Haswell, Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge? (older versions of XTU are not allowed for posting scores) Will the upcoming mandatory use of 6.4.1.12 (Upcoming Rule Changes on November 1, 2017) is also limit benching on cpus compatible with Z170/270/370 chipsets? If so, any prospects to make 6.4.x backward compatible with anything from Gen2 onwards? Cheers

Nice timings and score ! I got mine at 8-10-7-24-1T trfc=80 and lots of 4 secondary timings... Surprisingly, my XTU score would go down on 7-10-7-24, but 7-10-6-28 was probably the answer which you found

I agree till his last sentence, but resetting all points is NOT fair, period. As of now, I will personnally post cpu-z windows and keep a memtweakit screenshot in case of complaints. You can tweak a lot the ram timings to improve the score. What we need in XTU is a verification code like un superPI ...? Ideally, the Intel community can come up with an update for all Intel cpu generations, since a XTU version does not support beyond n-3 generations. So posting ONE updated XTU version per CPU generation would be ideal....?

Some common sense has reached Earth ! We might wonder who needs to uncover this cheat now, to get some competitors doing a lot of XTU off the chart...? Probably a silly scenario of my mind watching too many movies... taking down these scores will impact a lot of honnest folks. I am thinking about a Polish guy who would get blasted from the #2 or 3 if XTU goes down... Plus many enthusiasts like myself, binning the best ram and board they can since at least that pays off in XTU..., then getting out the most their cpus can give, using the guidelines (i.e no cheats ; + I don't even run on W10 32 bits which everytbody think is the best...), and their "modest" material means !

Hi. Instaled the latest version on Maximus V formula, and no system information is displayed on the right handside panel, plus whenenever I click on Run benchmark, error log is displayed. Looks like this version sucks big time... Can t recognize the cpu and number of cores... (i5 3570) Got this message form another topic http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=162384 So I know 5.2 and 6.0 are ok with Ivy. 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 are not. Will try 6.1 to see if it works

Hi Dude, Thanks for the tip regarding the Samsung chips ram I make 2800 9-12-12-20-1T 108 at 2.04 V on the best I have UP for the PSC ram you are looking for

Sweet ram modules, my favorites

lol thanks for the link ++

Hi Your post made me go back testing my 2400c9 / 2600c10 tridentx kits. They are pretty similar at 2400c9 and 2600c10 in term of minimum voltage required. Curious to see how voltage scales with frequency... The first module is sweet, 2600 9-11-11-20-1T 102 at 1.72 seems ok (tras can be lowered at 18 or 16, I tried once in XTU session). Is this anything similar to yours or you benched straight at 2800 ? Next step is 2800, and I guess I will need to trcd=tras=12... also waiting for a 4670k with hopefully a better imc than my g3258 (2800 is fine with one module with MFR chips, but not with 2...). UP on your search

Hi websmile, I saw your post, which you removed 13.9 is the supported official driver https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows+7+-+64 I can make screens in the future if any are needed (the rig is unmounted currently).

You already have the best sticks, nobody can compete

Hello This one is strange I installed AMD catalyst 13.9 with app sdk and catalyst center for the 4850 DDR3. In the GPUPI list I get AMD Opencl and Intel Opencl for the cpu, but nothing at all for the gpu (driver is installed though). Strangely enough, no scores are posted for DDR5 card, only for DDR3 cards, like mine. GPUPI - 1B overclocking records @ HWBOT I tried GPUPI 2.2 as others did, but same result.

Thanks, and well put I had not enabled hd audio and installed no driver so the fil was simply missing. I added one from https://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/F/fmod.dll/3.72/download.html and it works fine...! If this thread can be of any help for other dummies like me ++
