Sabertooth super-inefficient?

[Massman]

Not sure what's going on, but the Saberboob I'm testing seems highly inefficient in 32M. I think I'm not doing anything wrong as LSC is enabled as well as the cache options in the bios.

 

Anyone got any clue? Pretty sure I'm just being a retard-at-the-keyboard again.

yep that looks like poo, guess you need a gene or gd65 if you dare muahahahaha

[Massman]

Used the GD65 before ... that one was efficient enough.

 

But now it's stuck at x16 multiplier

well it's strong. 2.15v for 2 hours benching was no issue. Got some weird CPU here that scales insanely with voltage, without for that mather reaching very high clocks. Just saying ... board should be no problem.

 

@PJ: had an issue like that to. Suddenly all my memory multipliers over 1800 where gone. Reflashing bios, and changing between bios chips helped. No clue what happend tho.

 

btw not using maxmem anymore?

use the older bios from msi website. then flash again with the new one. i was stuck @ 57x and couldn't do 58x. but doing so let me use higher multi.

use dos commands... it worked for me.

Hum

We didn't find it that slow, which bios ?

And I thought my efficiency was bad but yours is even worse

 

[Massman]

Efficiency on the MSI board seemed fine. It's a different OS install, though, but applied the same tweaks.

Well, it actually works perfectly at stock settings, but goes into x16 mode when adjusting the ... cpu voltage . Flashed BIOS, switched BIOS, flashed ME ... still going into x16 after Vcore adjustment.

 

No maxmem tweak ... basic stuff first.

Try to set trfc manually or to check it. On ASrock Z77 extreme6 I had the same difference. It was a memory issue

 

100x42 (4.2 GHz) 1200 7 11 7 28 1T - trfc 86/96 : 7.47.x min

100x42 (4.2 GHz) 1200 8 11 8 28 1T - trfc 110 : 7.38.x min

Seems to be ea memory throtoling issue

 

This is why i lost a lot here:

damn, that looks really slow

 

set maxmem so that wazza can work properly

 

try UD5H

[Delex]

@dinos: it was for me or PJ?

[dinos22]

I just saw PJs first screen

[MaJ0r]

Btw about board: when I used first time M5G efficiency was very poor, but when I set preset Elpida BBSE tight and flashed richt BIOS, I won 10 seconds at 4000MHz(but I bad tweaker).

I'll only take one of your suggestions.

 

 

 

 

The UD5H

[Massman]

I might be doing something wrong; still about 9s too slow. No waza or subtiming tweaking, though ... so maybe it's just laziness.

 

[MaJ0r]

hmm I don't have such a good memory like you have but I think you lose minimum 3 sec(maybe I'm wrong) without tweaking and waza

[Splave]

3sec wazza 2-3sec secondary tweaking...maybe its because it doesnt have latency boundary like ROG? Between auto and setting 5 on the gene was about 3sec ish.

[Hondacity]

1sec in the 3rd level settings

[AndreYang]

it's massman. thats why.

bwhahaha
