The official Rookie Rumble AMD #6 thread.

[Guest harrynowl]

I have a load of LGA775 bits coming up there are no novice heats though

[l3gendluk3]

I was just wondering if I could use results I entered into another hwbot competition, or would I have to redo the benchmark?

[l3gendluk3]

nvm my last comment, I exceeded my last comps result

 

My next goal is 5.4 GHz, but I have been running 1.55v (max for my cpu) since 5.1GHz...

[Guest harrynowl]

Don't worry about voltage, 1.7 is doable (with cooling) for a very short period of time. It's at 1.8v you might as well say hello to silicone heaven.

[l3gendluk3]

My Asrock Fatality Killer wont let me go above 1.55v

[JunkDogg]

Does it have a extra selection for voltage offset as well as vcore? If so, this could be used to get that last few volts.

[l3gendluk3]

My first round in, overall im happy with the results especially since not only am I doing this in a NZXT H440, im doing it in it with all the panels on. The hwbot submission should really be 1648.5 per core because I was running my 8320 in a dual core configuration.

 

I'll do a proper benchmarking run in a couple of days where ill actually strip the case of all panels and put the socket/backpanel/mofset coolers on.

[l3gendluk3]

Also thanks junk, I got it running at 5.4 GHZ with the offset for all of 3 minutes before it throttled itself to death

[JunkDogg]

Sorry to hear mate. Got to monitor those temps. I always have HWmonitor running when pushing to a new unknown.

 

Def need to get a mod to look at your HWbot sub as it should be right up under mine.

[l3gendluk3]

Sorry I didn't mean it broke, it throttled itself to the point where 2 cores will barely run notepad lol. It is working fine, and as soon as I do a real run with all my mobo fans, I should be able to hold 5.4 nicely

The calculation is always based on the default amount of active cores. It's a limitation in our back-end engine

[JunkDogg]

That's actually a real nice chip you have there Luke. 5300 @ 1.5V not bad at all. Wish my 8350 would do that.

[JunkDogg]

hahahahaha 0.01%. I see the game we will be playing.

[AnonymousNix]

Nix reporting in.

[Massman]

Haha JunkDogg! Well, at least we can't say the race is not tight

[JunkDogg]

Might have to stop sandbagging and bring out some of the big ones everyone is hiding.

[l3gendluk3]

I guess i'll be the first to deploy my raw freq sandbag

[JunkDogg]

Mate that is a awesome effort.

[l3gendluk3]

Just got a question, CPU-z is reporting my RAM as 900 MHz even though it should be 1866. I checked bios and had changed the settings from auto to 1866 MHz and it still shows this even under load. Is it broken?

[l3gendluk3]

nvm, after some research I found that it should be running at 930 MHz because RAM has two transfers per cycle so 930 MHz per cycle~ 1866

[JunkDogg]

That's it mate. Google to the rescue haha. It's my go to for info.

 

Got a 13983 run for maxxmem without OCing my chip last night. Going to play around with OCing and how it affects the bench tonight.

[l3gendluk3]

Well I managed to get a pretty good read score on my RAM!

[JunkDogg]

I think something may have gone wrong there. Unless you wish toi replicate it as it's higher than half the LN2 scores.

[l3gendluk3]

Fair enough, it seemed to good to be true, ill try again later I suppose

[JunkDogg]

Yeah worst bit is I looked in the world records and it looks like you aren't the only one. The only difference is they left there's in there.
