Yea, i'll try other GPUs as well

Using the latest DL from the HWB site. Bench won't run, basically. I'll start with a full SP3 this afternoon. s775, Wolfdale and 6800-series GPU.

I still can't get AM3 working on XP. I'm gonna blame it on how stripped my OS is. Please can you list all the pre-requisite files/ programs for the latest wrapper to work?

Damn.... ok, I REALLY have to look at my memory MHz in more detail if the "vanilla" is so close to the BE! Thanks Roman

Nice!

I was trying to phrase the exact same thing, but couldn't make it as "to-the-point"

lol +2 But I bet you have not quit

THIS is a score Congrats and thankyou Bet you wanted to see 32K

It's just 10-15 hardware points and you WILL have to rebench regardless Just show If you play backup games and lose, you will look like a jackass

There will never be 6-core CPUs on s1155 or s1150 Disable C1E and Speedstep in BIOS Leave Turbo enabled

Pretty cool battle "few L" LOL my score took the best part of 14L to squeeze out

Thanks They'll be uncompetitive compared to two single cards, so i'll save my money.

I always find in wPrime 1024 that one core finishes before the other Try reflashing the BIOS?

Ticket ID: 1854 Priority: Low Would the eVGA GTX460 2Win and 560 2Win get dedicated hardware categories or be classed as GTX460 SLI and GTX560 SLI? \r\n\r\nI suppose this also extends to the Asus GTX760 SLI card

How stressful is Cinebench compared to Vantage CPU test?

Nah. I'd have to bench EVERYTHING. EVER.....and it's not a challenge that appeals to me

Hey! Nah, just trying something a bit new. My efficiency is NOT special, I need to spend "some" time on OS & tweaks..... and maybe change my mobo If I get 20-22 points per score with the popular CPUs, i'm happy enough... I will not be binning better than Sam to get golds Heh heh heh....plus, it's funny to see peoples reactions when I bench anything other than nVidia GPUs

The CPU has a power saving idle state It clocks down in idle to use less power. Sometimes the speed "bounces around" when the computer (seemingly) isn't doing much, it's nothing to worry about You can disable the feature in BIOS, power consumption when idle will increase a bit though. If you are doing multi-threaded work (video encoding for example) then moving to a 4820K will benefit you. OR you could move to a 3770K using the same motherboard. The performance will be very similar to a 4820K and save you money (no new board or memory needed) You can check comparisons online of a 2500K Vs 3770K Vs 4820K. They are very popular CPUs.

Well, I know nothing of ATI, I think only in terms of nVidia and how their MC handles RAM

1173 on Qimonda 1.0 is....rare! Cherry card, treat it well!

Hey! Welcome to HWBot! You have a few questions in there .... i'll try to answer some. I think there are other people on here who can answer some of the other questions better No base clock on Z77: It doesn't really matter. Testing has shown that if memory is removed as a variable, then (e.g.) 100x50 performs the same as 104.2x48 or 106.4x47. On Z68/Z77/Z87, the OC is mostly done by multiplier. Adjusting the BCLK will change the memory MHz a little, but not enough to notice in day to day uses. Intel have a MASSIVE advantage over AMD in memory bandwidth. "just wondering how 220 watt 8 core perform's about the same as 4 core 130 watt" AMD have a "weird" definition of what a core is. There a re guides on the internet explaining their approach AMD have a fairly large performance deficit. Intel have a PPC advantage, there is no other way to say it. 130W TDP.... it means thats the maximum power dissipation that the CPU is going to have "under normal useage." It depends what you do with your CPU. I am sure there are programs that will see the power cumpsion pass that limit. The power is dissipated mostly as heat, so it is *almost* accurate to say that 130W of power consumption = 130W of heat. For the difference in power consumption alone, I would recommend Intel If the Intel system ends up costing more, it will "pay for itself" in a lower electricity bill compared to AMD.

I bet this was nervous benching :D Nicely done!

Well.... I did think the same myself. It's a world #1.... IMO, verification should be better. What happened Maximous?

BIOS looks like Qimonda, but 1152MHz core is VERY nice!

Card hasn't been benched or even voltmodded yet, but I wanted this posted as soon as possible
