Analyzing first 15 subs give 4 subs with C0 and 11 submissions with E0. So E0 should be better - just keep in mind that you likely miss best cpu if you will only bench it for 32m stability - E0 has higher range of semi-stable fsb clocks. P45 is having cooling issues imho due to open die - stock coolers are of sub-par quality and may not sit tightly on die. I had DFI P45 that wasn't able to accept anything over 1.45v - then I glued IHS on NB and it became way better. So cold NB seems to be the key for P45. I have also run into strange issues with 32m stability with ddr2 boards - they won't do over 618-620mhz 32m 1:2 (I have tested Rampage Formula and DFI P45-T2RS). Pretty strange both boards hit the same wall (and cpu was definitely not the limit - at least 630mhz with 6-7 ddr3 boards). Probably something needs tweaking in mchbar (use baredit etc). Just my experience - my best board is capable of running large waza (3-4GB) @666mhz. But even 1M goes bluescreen/"not exact in round". I think that it is cpu issue if board is capable of waza but fails tests stressing cpu-nb link.

1. Hi. Normally, VTT won't give you any noticable gain - one cpu will do FSB 650 in 32m with 1.44-1.49v vtt, another one will hit the wall at 630 with same voltage and raising vtt to 1.7v won't break that wall. Also, some cpus have a very narrow range between full stability (pi 32m run) and valid - just 10-15mhz, others may have that range extended - like 640mhz 32m and 690mhz barely stable to validate (but yet 50 mhz difference). I would say C1 stepping is first category, E0 is second category. CPUs are also extremely sensitive to GTLs. So I would bin cpus for fsb validation if that is the goal. I had just a couple of good cpus that would break 690mhz, both were trying to post with air cooling @670mhz. Very important thing to consider - push Vcore for fsb. I needed >1.7v to get 700mhz although core clock was 4.2ghz. 2. Biostar t-power p45, giga ep45t-extreme, rampage exteme (8x serials). There is a chance with P5e3 x48, p5e64 evo. DFI is really annoying, ate all my patience yesterday - so I won't recommend it (though board is still worth mentioning here). 3. Boards run into a kind of wall with fsb, I wouldn't count Vnb as important factor - while it scales, who cares of volts? My safe limits are 1.82v and 45C idle temps. 4. VTT - normally every cpu has a sweetspot, 1.45-1.55v. Vref (aka GTL) should be 0.61-0.65 of VTT, depends on cpu. Vpll - keep it low, high values are killers for 45nm anyway. I have an impression that Vcore should be higher than vtt with a margin of 0.15-0.2v all the time. NB vref is a kind of unknown for me yet, but looks like p45 needs it to be x0.58 of vtt, x48 will need higher values (0.63-0.65).

Damn, forgot to use it in my subs

That poor P4i65G

Good!

Make x6.5 mandatory:)

Epic is 666, hope to see it from you 500x8 is interesting yet we have many of these.

Love these clocks, great score Luumi

666x6 anyone?)

Seriously, 4 DIMMs and 317mhz is pretty nice even for 939:)

Simply amazing!

Amazing frequency, congrats!

Good work Digg!

Good score TAGG. Go for n1!

Good job. Will your board run strap 266 pl5 with that fsb?

I would then say L3014 will likely kill Semprons in y-cruncher 1B - once guys with that cpu enter the game. At least my performance estimates say that (was checking database today how E8xxx performs) - they are pretty close clock to clock and L3014 has more flexibility with dram to allow higher cpu clock (and 4x2GB BBSE 600 2:3 was possible in my x48 tests).

Pretest or cpu limited with 2x4GB ram?

Benchmarks kill themselves. No legacy 3d is VGA benchmark for a long time. Some 2d is also subject to inconsistencies etc. So some of these "golden era" benchmarks need globals/boints removed. All this drama is not about benchmarks;) You are talking about boints:) If you like benchmark you will bench it no matter how points are assigned - database is up and running so no recent changes will affect your ability to submit. Take boints easy. It is not what hwbot is about.

PM @ground, he should be able to give you good input

Is it measured 2Ohm with cpu in socket? Normally, the value without cpu should be higher.

There was a tool named GMAbooster that was able to control/monitor "multi" of iGPU (not sure if it applies to g31). Actually, the clock should be locked with desktop chipsets and is independent of FSB. The boost we get with cpu clock is probably because some of the 3D functions are done through software path (like software vertext shaders in earlier GMA generations). I was benching 945g+fatbodies recently, chipset is extremely sensitive to voltage and doesn't allow tight timings though mem itself is capable of tight timings if I use external VGA. Sadly, 2.5v vNB was too hot to get golds so I gave up.

Great clocks

Haven't seen new scores from you so long, glad you are still in overclocking:)

Pifast is always such a drama with 775)
