  1. Will try to do it this week, have everything (d9gts dual-ranked only) to make such test
  2. Nope, just removed secondary slots for each channel = board still runs dual channel. I removed them to avoid water in unused slots - I leave in city with high humidity and it is always an issue (it is still an issue but gives me 1-2 additional hours when running ss on ram). I have also soldered external spd to unsoldred slot 1 to emulate spd for slot 2 - vddspd pin in slot 2 is burnt a bit and was giving me issues.
  3. Just wanted to see how bbse does, performance-wise hypers seem to be better. I was able to pass 32m 1125 7-9-7 though, bbse is not stressing mch much.
  4. aCTU I would say Coffee Lake is an overkill for G73, there should be no dramatic scaling from SB/IB. Aqua has some subtests that are being severely affected by excessive clock with G71/G73 (especially that blast in the end) and this score should be self-controlled by ShrimpBrime (with all the respect to this great man) - score is impossible with that card frequencies.
  5. I have flashback of pcmark "tweaks", there were some for web page rendering there ?
  6. Always wondered what chips Apogee were using. Mine 1066c5 do 600-620 4-5-5-13 but aren't voltage hungry etc (not micron). Good performers overall.
  7. FYI, you have a picture of REX but it is not listed in the text.
  8. Yes, I used stock bios with all ucodes for wolfdale. Using pre-45nm bios (with ucodes removed) you will cut 200-250ms in 1M @4GHz.
  9. There is a great chance to improve (taking into account I wasn't able to match efficiency of luumi, TaPaKaH and GUN'G'STAR @4500Mhz - they are 200-250ms ahead) - this was done with 45nm bios etc
  10. Had a stick of patriot from 4x512 d9gmh kit - one ramsink was off after shipping, corsair pcb and relabelled chips. Other 3 were patriots d9gmh as expected. Made partial refund.
  11. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24417 Oh, what a surprise, microsoft has a tool to update VB engine for Win95 etc. Is it legal to use a tool from Microsoft when using MS Windows? Isn't dll version 6.00.9832 Microsoft made? On a side note, what about XP on modern platforms? Isn't it cracking into OS and its parts - changing bootloader, replacing drivers etc? Isn't using nLITE, vLITE a kind of cooking with OS parts?
  12. Is installation of service pack illigal? Or using windows update? Driver updates? Updating directX, installing C++ runtime updates? All the above is changing os DLLs. Take winXP and check msvbvm dll version there - all different in sp0, sp1, sp2, sp3 (not taking variations between language versions that are there). What is the right dll version then? Do you think that known Vista efficiency in wprime is not caused by different DLL versions there (oh yeah, not only msvbvm - kernel32, ole32, hundreds of them)? Finally, I think I can get 1st place without this dll tweak "cold boot + clean installation of windows + classic tweaks + demo stock dll version is in use" - but i will video it to an assigned person in private.
  13. I think you need to click "show details" for subtests.
  14. 1. It is not part of the benchmark. 2. Going from SP1 to SP2 will make hundreds of different DLLs change their version. I can include proper file into os installation .iso - so it becomes not a tweak but a good OS selection. 3. Going from one driver to another replaces tens of DLLs
  15. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Connectland-1504002-Heatsink-Cooling-Motherboard/dp/B004HO5D98 So far, with good airflow, mobo is happy even with 1.84vnb (below 40C in bios) @640mhz. However I polished this cooler a bit.
  16. It won't be 4 times faster, it will launch 4 copies of 32m in parallel, 1 for each cpu core. Make sure you have enough disk space in hyperpi folder location - i would estimate it as 300-400 mb for each thread, so free space should be 1200-1600 mb.
  17. HyperPi, shorter variants like 8m/16m are rather good if you have anough threads
