The official MSI Xtreme Speeder P55 thread.

[|ron]

-80/-100 was an example to say that we tried everything between -30 and -100 with 2cpus and 2mobos...

[Massman]

What VTT were you running?

[|ron]

We found that giving a VTT upper than 1,6 was resulting in a no-post situation...

So, if I'm not mistaken, we were around 1,55, but we tried also upper to 1,6 and under that value

Tried to go with 1core, 2cores, 4 cores and with every combination HT enabled or disabled... the better combination with either the gd80 adn 65 was 4core with HT enabled.

[Massman]

I assume you also know this:

 

- If you plan to use 1.6V VTT, increase the PCH 1.05V to 1.3V. I've asked MSI to make this happen automatically, but this is the key to make it happen. The reason is really simple: PCH is integrated on uncore die, so ...

 

I had the exact same issue with VTT. By increasing the PCH => solved

[|ron]

We always used 1,3 or 1,35volts to pch, infact it was the most stable setting

[Massman]

Hm, did you test all bioses? IIRC, I had the best results with the 1.3B2.

 

(or 1.5B8)

[|ron]

uhm... if I well remember the 1,3 was the originally mounted bios on the gd80... then we flashed the 1.5 official.

In the last bench session we flashed the 1.5b8... same results with each bios.

[|ron]

Congrats to everybody involved in the competition, hwbot staff too

But there's a thing I really hate, I must admit: what's the sense to post the results 1minute before the competition ends? It's not an ebay auction, I really don't see where is fair play.

I'm not saying so because we didn't win (infact we were out of games a week ago), but I think that it's not the way to partecipate a competition.

Maybe it's only my opinion, but I like to say what I think, always.

See you in the next competition guys!

[|ron]

Hi rich, trust me if I say that my intent was not to see the winner disqualified, just my 2cents.

Sure, if in the future you'll prevent that, I can do nothing but support your decision

[CoFoKrypton]

I think that the definition of "a picture of your overclocking rig" is too vague, maybe you should think of a clear definition for the next competition.

[Massman]

Seems to me that most people understood "picture of overclocking rig"

[Topalof]

and WR wPrime with bug cpu-z and coef 15x239 valided!?

[CoFoKrypton]

Well, to me this is not a picture of an overclocking rig: http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=924026&title=Highest%20score%20of%20coolaler

If you think that the definition is clear you have to be consequent and exclude such scores from the competition...

[ocisfun]

32m of hwNOT also looks photochopped - appears that some shortcuts underneath left edge of 32m window were sloppily cut off

[ocisfun]

not that photoshopped image necessarly means cheating, but this image was 100% certain under the works of photoshop at one point of the creation process

We are aware of this, J.

[anvil]

Congratz to everyone !

 

Just one question, some of HwNOT scores have been deleted. This means that Topalof is the first one ?

[Massman]

The official ranking will be made public in the beginning of next week.

[|ron]

Frenchies for the win

[Topalof]

thanks all

[VickaOC]

Frenchies for the win

 

Heyhey

 

Great work french guys. Big thanks to Topalof to represent our country .

[jmax_oc]

Congratz Topalof ! And congratz for many reasons :

1/ You never gave up and you always pushed your hardware to its limit, you win every MHz with hours and hours. Congratz for it.

2/ You didn't make the unfair and 'unfun' method of backups. You continously announced your position (first since the early beginning). What a pity that you were 'forced' to keep some backups to counter last minutes submitters.

RB, for the future, I suggest a bonus / malus. An early score had to get bonus and a lastminute score had to get malus. It could be a good idea.

3/ I thought that your submission made things better in french overclocking community. It's the first time different communities was 'together' behind you and your score (the french score)

 

For all these reasons, I would like to say you one thing : BRAVO !

[jmax_oc]

Ok, perfect.
