I share here some test that I'm doing, it may help others that are looking to improve their scores.
I decided to start from scratch, I think it's always a good thing to do when I need a better understanding of the situation.
As OS base:
- Win 7 SP1 updated, not stripped
- All drivers installed
- Maxmem set to 4000
- Large system cache enabled
- 200MB paging on drive C (0 in the other partitions)
- Power plan profile set to high performance
- Classic theme and visual effects set for best performance
- Indexing disabled
So nothing special, some of the common windows tweaks (that I will check individually if are really worth or not later on)
As for the hardware:
2700X @ 4GHz and the Asus CH7 with the memory profile on Stilt's 3200MHz Fast (just to load something better than stock, but a good base actually)
Tested all 16 cores with affinity and picked the best run (8m45s.893):
After that, I pushed the memory to 3600MHz and I got 8s512 reduction (best run) with the core #10
Then I set the timings to 11 10 10 (same tRAS, tRC and sub): 2s981 gain
Now I switched to my own custom memory profile: 1s200 gain
I'm currently doing test with waza, but so far I wasn't able to get a gain, mostly a decrease in performance, am I doing something wrong ? probably yes, but I will find out eventually.
To be clear, I'm not asking you to share your tweaks (if you don't want to), but just to spice a bit the competition in a platform that seems forgotten by the community, and imho very funny to play with since there's no CB or other annoying issues.

Here is set to 4000, i tried from 600 and up, I've spent days and weeks with this 2700X and all the possible combinations of settings, probably I'm just cursed on this benchmarks ?

I tried a lot of things, CH6, CH7, affinity, priority, bias, maxmem, prefetch, superfetch, waza (OCX and manual), paging, registry tweaks, os stripped, tight timings, loose timings, SMT on/off, and so on and on...
Probably I'm missing something that is right under my nose and I can't see it, but with this platform I'm going crazy.
This is what I mean by bad restart:
"normal" run, sometimes I can get it to 8m32s
With waza:

I'm talking about a lot more, even minutes, when I boot at 4GHz I have 3 random levels of performance, if I run the 16K test I can have around 0.189, 0.172 or 0.109 as best result, obviously the "109" gave me the best scores in the 1M and 32M, if I boot and in the 16K I have the lower ones, everything is slow, so I have to restart until I'm in the "109" session.
This apply mainly to the SPI, I noticed that only a few other benchmarks may have a very small performance decrease when the system is scoring low with SPI.
Ryzen is fun, but there are some very mysterious thing around this plattform ?
-
I have a weird issue, it seems that sometimes the system boot with bad performance, I have to restart many times to get a proper score, doest happens to you as well ?
-
Can you post other pictures please ? Do it have the spilling device ? (as it may seems by the picture)
-
Thanks! Next week I'm going to retry with the Trex,I already got a 2642 after this screen, but crashed with the screenshot, this was after 3 hours of benching, I had the memories a bit wet plus the pot not not holding the load, hope to score something around 2645/2650.
-
I'll start, Win 7 Sp1 fresh install, updated, no other tweaks than pagefile set to 200 on C:\ and 0 in the other drives
This is my starting point now for the OS, before touching the hardware again I will spend time here.

Guys, who is up for another 4/5GHz SPI32M round ?

5 hours ago, KaRtA said:
Don’t worry. It’s a board related issue that holds back efficiency I believe. Yet to test for myself.
The fast guys efficiency guys are running on Gigabyte and Asrock. Asrock lacks in memory, and Gigabyte lacks in cold volts causing CB issues. It’s eother just the memory setup on the Crosshairs, otherwise they know something we don’t and neither of them will share.
Do a run at 4.2g. I was 4m14 to 4m17s without Waza. I never tested at 4g, takes too long and I don’t have time for that.
Best luck woth with your sub 6m. With your cpu I know I’d be there by now.
What do you mean by 4m14 to 4m17s ? 8m14 to 8m17s ?
-
Thanks a lot for the tip, but I read that thread like 5 times and I'm still at 8m32s as best score now (around 8m35s when I did this result), the efficiency unfortunately is dropping with frequency and I need to be able to lower at 8m22s at least if I want to do the sub 6, I don't think now I can do much with the hardware, I tried every CAS from C10.10 to 12.12, plus all the sub timings combinations and this 11.10 is still the best one. But I'm stubborn as hell and one day I will succeed :D
-
p.s.: in fact I don't even use waza, and this was made with a non-stripped Win 7 Sp1 with only some services stopped, I kinds suck on OS tweaks, I spend most of the time on the motherboard settings and memory timings to squeeze every MHz possible, that's probably why I'm still far from the sub 6 with this high frequencies in the 32M.
-
It may seems weird, but I post the result also on instagram and twitter, so I prepare the screens in a format that I can use everywhere, no problem to share the original full screen if you want, there's no top-secret things in it :D

I was around 1.8V real from multimeter, no core affinity so not best core, I did this run just for fun to check the score for the 32M, I'm working on 32M sub 6 min but I'm still like 3 seconds away, need more OS tweaking for that, I will try again soon with the T-Rex and higher frequency. I'm using Windows 7, I'm also trying to install XP using PCIe usb and sata controllers but so far only blue screens during installation, I know that somebody succeed, but for now I keep Win 7 as main OS for bench.
-
I can push to 5840 the CPU and maybe the memory a bit more, but what really bother me is the OS, there's something I miss, i tried every tweak I know plus experimenting new ones, I'm at the 3rd complete OS mod and testing at water/cascade, I can't improve much, probably I shaved another second, but before going LN2 again I want to see another big improvement, at 4GHz now I can't go below 8m32s, and I saw much better scores around. I'm waiting a Trex for the multicore benchmarks, in the meantime I will keep smashing my head around this :D
-
Tried already with 2/4/8 core, with and without SMT, result swing the same, I’m trying to install XP or another stripped down Win7, hope to do something good this week, I have still a lot of liters to burn :)
-
It's just a random retail chip, bought last week, I think I got very lucky :) Now I'm working with the OS, the hardware is almost at the very limit, I may have some more 10/20MHz both on cpu and ram but there's something I'm missing software side, I hate software heheh :D

[EU] GPU Pot
in Sold
Yep, how much shipped to Spain ?
-
You're killing it all! Well done!
-
Well done! Great result!
-
Monster memory kit!
-
Nice one! I'will do my 2nd session today, let's see if I can do fullpot as well and hit 7GHz :D
-
Well done! Congrats! I was curious to see the Dark in action, seems a very nice board.
-
As per title, looking for fast DDR1 BH-5 / TCCD capable of 250+ @ 2.2.2.x
Thanks.

Yes, that’s what I’m going after, I’m stubborn, I will find out sooner or later ?
