The official newlife's wPrime 32m global challenge - Aug 25, 2012 until Sep 24, 2012 thread.

Can not submit my score... after filling up the form and hitting "Submit" it gives me an error...

[Zka17]

Eh, will try it later...

[Zka17]

Finally!

[newlife]

Nice test! Helps show the diffrence between 4 and 8 threads

[Zka17]

Thanks! Just submitted an other one with CPU speed as close at 4318 as possible... You're right, 8 threads are more than 4... - you gave me an idea! Will try it with HT disabled...

[newlife]

i got the clock with 107.9 bus and 40 multi

[Zka17]

What was your initial score? LOL, SamSaveMax beat both of our scores!

[newlife]

6sec 895ms pretty crap compared to both your scores lol

[Zka17]

Thanks! I'm trying different tactics now... increasing the BCLK and lowering the multi... - also reduced the memory speed... Until now, just slightly better than before... but won't give up yet!

[Zka17]

Well, reducing the memory's frequency doesn't help too much... but playing with the BCLK and CPU multi does show some difference...

[newlife]

i would still be trying but i have to take things apart to get it to work with bclk over 105 and i getting new hardware on monday suck as so i cant be stuffed taking anything apart till then

[newlife]

i found higher memory frequency helped, so fare i got patriot g2 1600mhz overclock to 2200mhz with 9-12-12-28 and a super high 1.720v

[Zka17]

I did 2600MHz on my memories but can not push too much above as the wPrime score starts going down... my best score with the TridentX kit is 5.432... it won't go lower whatever I could think of tweakng more... - but I saw that SamSaveMax has changed his memory kits (at least it seems he had 16GB before)... so, I will try my Dominator GTs!

[SamSaveMax]

I just removed 2 sticks out of 4 for less stress. Otherwis, they are the same rams.

Keep on trying guys.

[Zka17]

Thanks, SamSaveMax! I'm almost there...

[SamSaveMax]

Here is a tip. Don't try so hard stretching the speed of your rams when benching wPrime32. It doesn't make much or any of a difference.

I'll be expecting you to beat my score.

[newlife]

cheers for the tips all ways good seeing overclockers help each other

[Zka17]

Yeap, I observed... it's no so much about the max memory frequency, but the timings...

[SamSaveMax]

@ Newlife, I would like to save you some elbow grease because there is no way the 4 cores could beat the 8 threads i7-3770K in wPrime benching. So don't tear down your rig. Thought, i5-3570 could be beat i7-3770K in SuperPI benches.

 

@ ZKA17, that's a vast improvement you have there. Good job!

I shall return tommorow with a new score.

Cheers.

[Zka17]

Thank you, SamSaveMax! Both me and my TestBench were sweating blood... used Corsair Dominator GTs with this last one...

And I definitely have to thank Newlife for creating this challenge! I did learn a lot by trying during these tweakings...

[Zka17]

LOL, SamSaveMax! You're strong, man! I have one more idea... if that won't result in a lower score, then you're the best...

[Bobnova]

Didn't notice this before. Now I have.

It's on!

[SamSaveMax]

Oh no! Bobnova is here. We're in trouble and fight for your life.

[newlife]

He doesnt seem to be able to beat you

[SamSaveMax]

Actually, he's pretty good. I know cause he's one of my team mate. It's either doesn't want to compete or just dropout.
