How big of an impact is running HWInfo during the bench?

CPU water, NB stock cooler.

To clarify the FSB quoted is for SuperPi 8M on water. On the EP45T it seems to simply be high nb ~1.64V and VTT around 1.5-1.6V as well as getting the NB gtl exactly right, CPU gtl seems generally to be okay on auto (as the older bioses do not give access to this and it still clocks fine). As for FSB batch variation; in that list there are 3x Q842B449 which did 650, 640 and 620, and the 2x 3831A468 both did very high fsb - so you could argue it either way.

Honestly I'm not sure why you guys says the EP45T-Extreme is hard to clock, I've had three boards now and all do >680 and high FSB 2:3 SuperPi 8M easy. So far I've found that clock skews don't really help for valid (or 8M), but more for stability (32M) (maybe why you guys get large gaps between valid and stable on some cpus?). The GTLs, PLL and silicon quality are what seem to dictate FSB. But even if you use the same setting for each CPU you get reasonable results (see below for ambient).

Potentially if I had my boards atm?

Haha, I own three whole quad chips - so you're safe there. Nice score btw, need to get you on XP though.

1:2 is not one of the broken ram dividers. :P At least not on the "newer" BIOSes.

Please close.

Tried with HTTP in the link instead of HTTPS?

Nice, also huh, cpu no need? Maybe this bench is alright after all. :)

Not bad. ;)

You're not allowed to post scores, what are you doing? :P

D3Doverrider?

There is a REX repair thread somewhere on this forum, I would link it, but can't find it right now.

Are you guys having fun here with your effi testing? :D

Yes, GMABooster did nothing for me on desktop.

I also saw no divider changes in perf.

Everyone can still bench their favourite benches of course, but might not get any internet points for it. *Shrugs*

Damn, wat?! Crazy clocks.

Yeah, but you can also edit it under your profile.

Just need to push that 0.003fps more. :D

Err, wprime is not generally "comparable" on old hardware. There are loads of scores with crazy efficiency and large gaps sometimes in the rankings - maybe even due to people in the past using the dll tweak in the past and not disclosing it. Also, merry bunny extracting christmas everyone. ?

Dancop taking GFPs? What is this, 2013?

Wut, AMD, legacy 3D?! Crazy!

Old news, old complaints. Definitely not a bug, at worst "shady" OS tweaking. The thread on Terra's score covers the arguments for why this is reasonable and within the rules well. Obviously it might be worth considering if the rules need tightening, but...
