zmn668 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi. I am about ready to pull my last 3 hairs out with XTU. I had been benching pretty heavily until about 6 months ago when I took a break. Last week I purchased a new binned 4790k to replace my release version. Recreated my testbench with win 7 and SP1. Started with Cinebench and both versions scaled as I expected resulting in new high scores for me. Then I have moved to XTU... I cannot break 1000! I'm running a ROG Maximus VII Hero, 8gb 2x4 Corsair Dom Plat 2400 C10 with XMP enabled, 4790k that can bench up to 5GHZ under custom water. My previous high was 1206 with my old chip that tapped out about 4850 or so. I have reinstalled windows twice and XTU more times than I care to say. I have ME from Asus's site installed. Please offer anything to save my sanity. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splave Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 sounds like its not sp1 imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmn668 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks for the reply but that's not it. Installed from the same ISO for Win 7 with SP1 as I used on my testbench before and scored 1206 with and just did a sanity check and Computer properties indicates Service Pack 1 is installed.

TerraRaptor Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 make screenshot with asrock timing configurator to show us timings and rtls. Also try running at lower voltage and frequency (say 4.8ghz) to see if the reason is throttling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmn668 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 So I installed Win8.1 Pro on a second drive array and more of the same. 4.8Ghz 1.3v max 72C 0% throttling xmp 10-12-12-31-2T 2400mhz and score is 951 ... WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted January 31, 2015 Crew Share Posted January 31, 2015 Disable HT and indeed show us them memory timings, prolly way to loose there in the sec and tert timings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsurfer Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 If that 2400C10 is anything like my Gskill ones, then its probably the memory. I gained 120 points in XTU by just tightening the memory @ 2400Mhz & I am 99% sure I didn't even tune the memory right. The stock X.M.P profile on those sticks sucks.

Splave Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Is your mem single sided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsurfer Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Is your mem single sided? I think it is. Here are are some pics, just to be sure. BTW, isn't 2500 in the Serial supposed to mean HYKO/HCKO whatever. This sure as hell isn't that as it doesn't OverClock half as well.

Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I've had two or three sets of that RAM, and it isn't single sided. Look inside the module and you will see if there are chips on either side of the PCB or not. I will be surprised if they are single sided.

rtsurfer Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Nah. Pretty sure its single sided. I see chips on the front,on the other side there is just one straight continuous strip, which is probably a thermal pad. You sure you not thinking about the C9 ones, which are usually Double sided Hyko. Edit:- Pics According to the information in the XS DDR3 thread, this is Hynix CFR.

Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Perhaps, yeah. I must be mistaken! My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
