Gorod Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Hi guys , if anyose still playing with Kaveri , lets share 3DMark runs ?! Also please suggest the best drivers and operating system for maximum efficiency and maybe some tools other than amdmsrtweaker to improve the scores , would be much appreciated !

Gorod Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 I will start with very budget system that i had great fun playing with today ! A6-7400K Raijintek AIDOS with ambients around +26 C (??? 80F) Gigabyte GA-F2A58M-HD2 , BIOS F3a 2x4Gb Samsung BCK0 single sided and 2x4Gb Dominator 2666C11 Vcore = 1.3375 , NB = maximum available , +0.30v with Extreme LLC , VDIMM = 1.50 for samsungs and 1.65v for Dominators Quote
Gorod Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 Massman wow good memory ! i still have it , that very same 6600GT card is still working ! LoL budget overclocking = pure fun Quote
filmbot Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I have a 7850k running in my daily rig that I post up some scores this week Quote
Gorod Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) I have a 7850k running in my daily rig that I post up some scores this week Please post , i am so far very impressed with Kaveri - very nice and efficient little APU . Big improvement since my last APU i played with A10-5800K Not only for bench scores but also amazingly swift in gaming , when overclocked . For example 47 fps in GTA V at 1920x1080 this is some serious power for integrated graphics :0 , even runs The Witcher 3 somewhat playable at 1280x720 with 30+ fps Anyways , let me share what i accomplished with my other Kaveri - A10-7700K (i bough 2 to play with , one 7400K and one 7700K for now ) : A10-7700K Noctua NH-D15 with ambients around +5 C ( 40F ) Asus A88X-PRO , BIOS 2001 2x4Gb Dominator 2666C11 VDDNB = 1.6375v , VCore = 1.40v , VDDR = 1.60v For 3DMark 2013 i used Win10 as it gives +20 or so points increase for me , for other 3DMarks and tests Win7 . No modification of Tesselation and things like that , personally i prefer futuremark approved and validated only runs like in good old time years back 3DMark Fire Strike : 2011 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme : 980 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra : 522 3DMark Sky Diver : 7455 3DMark Cloud Gate : 8560 3DMark11 Performance : 3310 3DMark Vantage Performance : 11046 I hope more colder weather to come this winter Edited November 14, 2015 by Gorod Quote
flanker Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 awesome man. U must try 7870K, CPU is able to run around 4800 MHz with this ambients and GPU 12xx MHz Quote
Gorod Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) awesome man. U must try 7870K, CPU is able to run around 4800 MHz with this ambients and GPU 12xx MHz Heya Flanker , that sounds tempting , i will try one for sure hopefully soon ! My 7700K is very weak on CPU cores part , so far only been able to get it stable at around 4200 or so ... The graphics part is also not very strong , in room temp ambient was able to get no more than 1130-1140 on it No complains about IMC though DDR3-2800 with single sided Samsungs BCK0 , though efficiency is relatively poor compared to double sided RAM's @ 2600-2666 Edited November 18, 2015 by Gorod Quote

newlife Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Here's a couple of runs I've done 7400k - http://hwbot.org/submission/2988322_newlife_3dmark___fire_strike_radeon_r5_graphics_1555_marks Gpu volts was unknown because that board doesn't have a option to change it 7870k - http://hwbot.org/submission/3037715_ Was with ice water but didn't need it for 1248 it just helped with stability a bit and gpu volts at 1.4v same as NB Unfortunately I can't give out any tweaks as the CC is under way and I'd get shot but I can say drivers don't make a huge difference and windows 8 or 10 seems to be best Edit: To OC I use amd overdrive and amd master tweaker Edited November 20, 2015 by newlife Quote
Gorod Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 nice ! how much volt for the gpu ? had to give it VDDNB = 1.6375v , not a very strong gpu unit on that 7700K I could it try quickly:) Unleash the power of God-avari ! Here's a couple of runs I've done Very nice on both m8 ! Especially i like the 7400K as i have one myself and planing to play with it this weekend , cold weather on the way and no longer hot outside - its a crime not to use such rare opportunity ! Quote
gradus Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I remember oldschool overclocker Gorod.... Quote
newlife Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 A6-7400K looking good so far Awesome efficiency and memory clocks! You know now I'm going to have to try again with that cpu Quote
Gorod Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) gradus Big people i see ! How is life ?! Awesome efficiency and memory clocks! You know now I'm going to have to try again with that cpu :beer: and cheers , sadly it looks like no one loves the little guy 7400K but 2 of us on hwbot lol . So lets give it some love i say ! I am quite determined to push that thing further , much fun so far ! Update : cold has not arrived yet , only +10 C outside , will continue tomorrow , it is expected to hit around -2C . Yet that drop of only 15 degrees (compared to indoor +25) was enough to push the graphics part to the next level with VDDNB = 1.70v Wonder how high will it go under LN2 ? Edited November 22, 2015 by Gorod Quote
Gorod Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Delidded my A6-7400 today which resulted in 17 degrees drop under load with 1.55v Quote
Gorod Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Most likely done with "air" runs for A6-7400K A6-7400K Noctua NH-D15 with ambients around +1 C ( 35F ) Asus A88X-PRO , BIOS 2301 2x4Gb Dominator 2666C11 VDDNB = 1.70v , VCore = 1.425v , VDDR = 1.60v Modification of Tesselation only for Fire Strike (Fire Strike not Fire Strike Extreme and Ultra ) and Unigine Heaven Basic and Xtreme . Rest with default drivers settings (with Performance slider) . 3DMark Fire Strike : 1692 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme : 773 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra : 399 3DMark Sky Diver : 5439 3DMark Cloud Gate : 5605 3DMark11 Performance : 2434 3DMark Vantage Performance : 8111 3DMark 06 : 11269 3DMark 05 : 18409 3DMark 03 : 32301 3DMark 2001 : sadly could not find a GPU-Z version to report correct name for Kaveri iGPU part in Windows XP with old Catalyst drivers that work on XP and no point running it on Win7 , very very sad to see it abandoned Edited November 23, 2015 by Gorod Quote
Radi Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 windows 10 in ide ? what voltage for 1.2v apu ? Quote
Gorod Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) windows 10 in ide ? what voltage for 1.2v apu ? Windows 10 in AHCI ! It had problems installing with high FSB (would not detect HDD/SDD) but after installation with 100 fsb and loading fresh AHCI driver started booting with high FSB (not sure how high but tested with up to 117 and worked well) , also some of my SSD's would not work even after AHCI drivers (errors during load and windows attempting to repair) , the good old sand force ssd with Microcenter label (lol) worked and so did WD 1TB "blue" Asus A88X-PRO is very good for memory oveclock , i've tried same CPU/RAM with Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 and could not get anywhere even close to RAM overclocks Asus did , maximum was 1296 with UP4 for me Edited November 23, 2015 by Gorod Quote
Gorod Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 DDR3-2800+ on Kaveri ? No problem with Asus A88X-PRO + Samsung BCK0 But thats single sided RAM's , so of course much lower efficiency compared to ~ 1350 double sided --> Dominator's Platinum 2666C11 (CMD8GX3M2A2666C11) Yet shows the great potential on memory oveclocks Quote
newlife Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Nice going APU 1.2v is the gpu core and with nb the max considered safe on ambient is 1.4v but do as you please Quote
flanker Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I keep this voltage at auto (its voltage of generator in FCH?). I tweak "only" voltage of CPU, APUNB, VDDA/PL, DRAM and digi control, memory timings... DDR3-2800+ on Kaveri ?

How did you set in in BIOS? Wow... Quote
