Antinomy

That's exactly why I disclosed it. I didn't invent this trick, learned it years ago from one Russian BIOS guru.

Because this BIOS options works with EIST and it's blocked on Celeron CPUs. BTW, any interesting timings available through Intel Integrator toolkit on your Bad Axe?

You say you want a revolution? Do you see anything strange over here? Now as you see, 478 adapters are pretty much useless for this competition. ?

I suppose yes but I think it'll be useless.

This is a lucky run with a P5E booted @200 and downclocked to 3600. Most runs were around 63.89-63.94. AIDA is not obligatory but I recommend you to use it as you'll see how latency affects performance. The second screenshot is the same system with full screen tweak. As you see, it gives a lot.

O.K. so here's some starter pack for you. The archive contains three major versions - vanilla Pifast, package with Runprio and HexusfastR. Runprio runs Pifast with High priority, FastR with Realtime. All the batch files were modified with a goto operator which allows you to re-run the test simply by pressing any key. The old result should remain. The second is the full screen tweak in shortcut properties. Pifast.zip

Wallpaper. (AI-powered Tron-like)

Everything seems fine, I'll upload a wallpaper in the evening. Adding regular 32-bit Prescotts will add some fun. Stay tuned, I'll make it even more fun

Next time I'll make a 8GHz Low Clock Challenge.

On a second thought this might be much more fun. I will make a separate leadership in the OP for each chipset vendor and memory type. So besides the overall competition we'll see top10 Intel, NV, SiS, VIA and so on and top10 DDR1, 2, 3. I see sense in this only for Pifast but let me know if someone thinks 32M is worth summing the same way too.

I have pretty much everything. ? One of my teammates asked about X48 and Celeron D. The thing is, these boards can boot with Celeron D but when you enter BIOS, you can't set FSB lower than 200. So you're forced to boot @200. One of the ways is to boot at 200 and then lower FSB to meet 3600MHz requirement. But this is not the only way for them, I'll post another way.

This competition was supposed to be in-house for Not Exact in Round members. But I thought I'll be more fun to see our friends from other teams and anyone willing to participate. The primary goal is mastering your tweaking skills both HW and SW. I welcome you to share tweaks being used. Of course, most of us have some secret sauce but most tweaks are common yet might be unknown to others. For example, only a month ago I learned about the huge impact that full screen mode has on Pifast. Also I ask you not to do last hour shots. This is more an educational competition so work in progress results with comments are very welcome. "Improve, share, learn, repeat" - that's the motto.

Pete, it's the TC SDRAM submission. Yet, even with SDRAM and 200MHz lower clock than it could do on P4P800, this sub hit 12th place, that's the fun part.

Sort of.

"12th out of 35 " - LMFAO :)

I told ya we'll nail it

Evil ark in action

500 bus and 300 CL2

PM me for a modBIOS when you do

Push harder, you could make it out from two weeks ?

TAGG, what is the VRM used for, Vagp/Vdd? What volts worked best for you and what card did you make it from? Any videos about it?

MaXtoRZP is correct. This is an integrated graphics card, it uses system memory. GPU-Z can't detect memory type for these correctly so we should stick to CPU-Z. And as we see, the system memory is DDR3.

Nice Celly, TAGG Looks you're finally using my BIOS?

Already in database. https://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/0vhkv0/
