hipro5 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 As tittle says........ What is the trick for wPrime to get lower scores?...... I've tested with my Rams in EVERY Config and I get about the same resault.......Example: 5-5-5-12 and 4-3-3-4 at 600MHz(1200MHz DDR) and then with 1:1 at 3-2-2-2 and 1:1 at 3-3-3-4 .......I keep geting the same resault...... So what's the "trick" of it?...... Thanks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 wPrime is all about calculation power, not memory afaik. It has it's benefits, but it does make it a bit less fun to tweak if you got great memory. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 MAke sure you're running XP. Wprime doesn't like server03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 You need to sit there and run it a few times, it's not very consistent particularly on a quad. Basically it's the CL "trick" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipro5 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 You need to sit there and run it a few times, it's not very consistent particularly on a quad. Basically it's the CL "trick" I can bench it at 5200MHz+ with the QUAD but I get worst score than the others.......It's new to me and I need help though..... What's that CL trick?......could you explain better?.....Thanks.... EDIT: Ahhh....Now I got it......!......Thanks M8..... ;) I'm always on WinXP....

richba5tard Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Enlighten us, what's the CL trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hipro stated he tried different Cas Latencies, so I wonder what the 'trick' is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Car Low (3dmark01), I think. Run the bench multiple times in order to find the fastest one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ahhhh, makes sense. So, faster CL run = faster wPrime run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thats it, CL x 20 = Car Low test repeated 20 times. Geeze rich and here I always thought you were an '01 addict in hiding hipro can you post a result of your slower LOL scores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Trouffman Posted April 24, 2007 Crew Share Posted April 24, 2007 5,2Ghz benchable on quad... QX6800 spotted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ahhhh, makes sense. So, faster CL run = faster wPrime run? You really need to start benching again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx before. Peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi rezal, It depends on the core revision and what kind of air cooling, there can be some pretty big differences between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hak Foo Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 If you're benching a processor type which was available in a MP configuration, you can score major wins easily that way by throwing extra sockets into it. Stock clocked dual > overclocked single. But I suppose that sort of stops being an option after the PIII. Don't forget to kill off any parasitic load (Explorer, for example).

Massman Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Athlon XP has multi-socket motherboards as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hak Foo Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Don't you have to cross some bridges on an XP to convert it to a MP, and then it identifies as a MP (thus not necessarily putting you in the category you wanted to compete in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted September 29, 2008 Crew Share Posted September 29, 2008 yeah, if you want to use a dual config you must use 2 athlon mps or mod 2 identical xps to mps. the mps and xps are completly the same, only difference is that the last l3 bridge is open or closed (don't remember exactly, need to look in my notes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westsider Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 core i7 is just blowing up wprime 4Ghz simple OC @8 threads and it goes with 6.5+ sec 4.5GHz and you get ~ 5.2+ sec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TjerkB Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The Wprime trick is that your cpu has to be 100% stable. Otherwise it makes calcelation fault wich take longer. Like on 5Ghz 100% stable it can be faster than on 5,2Ghz unstable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 There is some special tweak that cuts off like 10% of the total score, too. Some use it... no clue what it is, though:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceemic Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 ...and wPrime likes Vista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiller Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 on XP or Windows7 it's faster doh. http://www.hwbot.org/hallOfFame.do?type=result&applicationId=14 i did this run on XP, and the score was much better then on Vista. With every setup by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
