Frustrating for Bloomfield users.

 

2400mhz memory and 4800mhz uncore

1.85 v and 1.64v for stability...

 

Keep on dropping a memory channel too lol

this is harder than I thought it would be even with 980x and gtx3 on SS cooling :0

Why is this no more team challenge?

Pro tip.

 

Bloomfield will do 2400 ram easier.

But 4800 uncore is hard

But 4800 uncore is hard

If your dropping channels back off RTL a notch.........I was at bclock limit of that board with HT and all cores on......sure it would have ran higher but I never shut cores/ht off for reviews.

I didn't said it isn't possible, but it is hard... I know some of them won't do 4.8 no matter what and some of them will go even higher

Why is this no more team challenge?

 

Anyone

Dunno ... sometimes we do a team competition, sometimes we do user competition, sometimes country.

 

There's no specific reason why this is a user competition

But wasn't this in the first place team competition? And then renamed to members?

 

If not, then I missunderstand something

Hm, I don't think so.

 

I think I would remember, because I have tried to reconfigure a member competition to a team competition in the past and completely messed up the engine. Instead of being a team competition, it was a combination of user and team competition

Question :

 

Why memory restriction différence between lga 1156/1366 ?, because spi32m more efficiency under 1366 tri channel.

 

I find that there is an imbalance and I also find it more easier to obtain frequency in 1366 than in 1156.

 

in short, why not put the same frequency as on similar architectures 1156 and 1366 ?.

 

excuse me for bad language, you can answering too in french

LGA1366 is more difficult to reach high frequencies with because of the MEM/UNC ratio on Bloomfield and of course the extra stress of 3x DRAM instead of 2.

 

That's why the required memory frequency is lower for LGA1366.

yep ...I dont have x58 architecture in the hand .... but ... sandy wait now

wow, just figured out there is a competiton like this going on.

 

honestly, its not quite cheap to own all the required hardware

 

1366 board + cpu

1156 board + lynnfield + clarcdale cpu

am3 board + deneb/callisto + thuban cpu

775 ddr3 board + cpu

 

thats a minimum of 2000 euro for all equipment necessary

 

is there any word about the prices?

good luck for everybody participating!

No prizes - this is just a competition for fun .

ok, thanks for the fast answer

my wife is angry !!! 8 hours for tame the ace of my clarkdale with his rotten memory controller... no sleeping with my wife but i'm happy ^^

For Clarkdale, it looks like Gigabyte's providing the best BIOS. DDR3-2100 should be possible on all boards, though. Tested 3x 655K and they all did the same clocks under single stage.

What about sandy bridge for this?

I was going to, but haven't quite figured out what limit to use.

 

4.5GHz is easy, so memory should be more challenging. But maximum memory clock is just function of the maximum possible BCLK.

But we would have to find a way how to tight it as max mem clock wouldn't be hard to achieve

sandy bridge doesnt really fit the criteria of max mem clock, it is so dependant on CPU and max bclk it sort of goes against all the other rounds of this comp

Only reason to do it, I guess, is to see how well you can optimize Sandy?

 

Initial thought: 4500MHz CPU + DDR3-2200 minimum? Might be interesting to see anyways
