GTL voltages gave me roughly 0,8V, maybe 0,85V can't remember that exactly. No, didn't play with them as them allow only few extra MHz at best.

No other BIOS tried, latest BIOS is the only one that works properly with the E8600. Gave me a lot of trouble to eventually flash bios 18 (latest) on this board.

Didn't try lower multiplier.

Memory issue's, don't think so, increased memory voltage up to 2,5V where for 500MHz they need less then 2,3V. I know these sticks can go quite high. Latency's 4-4-4-10.

NB latency, I alter the setting in bios where you can choose between DEFAULT, FAST, FASTER. Can't remember how it is called but in memset it has value 12 at default and 11 at fast. TRC?

I boot at 500MHz, sometimes 510MHz, but I have also tried 390MHz and I can go all the way up to 500MHz no problem.

They can give you more than a few MHz, though. On the dfi P35, I managed to get 20+ mhz by tweaking the gtls.

Booting problems or bios problems? Earlier biosses will give you a much better 1M frequency (all the other benches will be a bit slower, though).

Maybe your cpu is limiting you? Maybe it's a 10x MP bug (certain E8600 can go very high in FSB on MP9, but suck with MP10.

Hm, probably not the cause of the issues; you can always try 5-5-5-15 and see if it has any effect, although I'm pretty sure it won't.

the pmem tweaks are register tweaks tha cannot be altered in either the bios or memset: northbridge registers.

Have you tried altering the Performance level?

will it make a difference for 1M times too?

Very small difference when you're running it under 8s, but yeah, it can make a 0.1s difference

and if I'm running 73-74 seconds?

Depending on how well-tweaked your OS is, may be 1-2s

not enough :(
MSI Wind OC'ing fun;)

Tune your OS ;)

Thorgal on benching spree, I'm happy with 5 HWboints, he settles for nothing less than 50+ ;)

Not finished yet ;)

I'd like to get hand of two things :

- E8600 for pi1M, pifast, 3D01 and Aquamark, maybe even improving 3D03 and 3D05
- 2nd i-ram to get a really decent PCMark score ;)

talk to MM for I-Ram ;)

sorry thorgal looks like u will have to bench again ;) .

LOL, if this brings us past Austria I'll gladly bench again. First some new hardware ;)

just what i whase thinking , maybe maart-april till i start benching high-end again :).

We're actually getting really close to Austria, I sure hope I can strap my i7 to the phase-change and hit some higher scores.

Looking forward to your high-end benching Blind :D.

yeah im to but hell its hard now :s.
new girl , party monthe :D , payments :D , not mutch work .

need to get new dewar , new container(more) , maybe do bank job any1 wants to join ?

Just don't try Fortis bank, not much to be found there ;)

Thanks to Geoffrey (and myself :p ) we've now passed Austria. Keep going guys :D

Yeah !! :D

Damn, already lost it again :( For some reason we lost a lot of points today, and they gained some...

I think gtx295 is to blame : many of our top results have been bested.

We lost 20 points, but Team Austria gained like 40 :-/

If they go hard, we go harder, simple as that ;)

Windows 7 faster in Wprime, but slower in PiFast, compared to XP, no time yet to test with Vista :)

Jups.

I'm waiting for the 1366 mounting kit to arrive

for the mach2 unit ? and from where :p:, also have some great info for u ;).

For Noctua HSF:)

For the Mach .. I still have to 'invent' something :p

maybe you can use LGA1366 kit from Noctua with modification? :D

john massie is not a handy man like me :D !!!!

underestimating people is your biggest weakness ;)

massie is good in other stuff ;). for one he dont have the right tools i think :).
i learned never to underestimate any1 :p

I beg to differ :naughty:

read first 2 words john :D

I made a quick mount for 1366 myself, on top of Jort's modified SS :
(switching to dutch)

- 2 plaatjes multiplex
- klokboor voor evap
- gewone boor voor 4 gaten

op 10min. klaar :)

niet iedereen heeft een klokboor setje liggen e :p , of kan met boormachiene werken.
nuja massman zal wel wat fixxen en anders just ask heb nog wel een mounting liggen der voor.

ah heb binnen kort een draaibank (handmaatig), thuis :D. ma heeft echt zotte dingen gekocht de laaste tijd :D .

Getting some more gear for more bench fun :D

- DFI DK P45-T2RS Plus
- E8600
- 2x OCZ SSD
- GTX295

and one more goodie which I won't disclose yet :p

Time to do a sale though, costs running a bit too high :rolleyes:

so u got ure self a cascade :D , that would cost new and a good one 1200€ ;).
new Tek-9 5.0 soon the sold, price will be NICE :p.
maybe group buy for keeping cost's down on sending ;).

nono, no cascade, I'm not that rich :p

tell tell :p ;)

LN2 :D

this isn't an 8800m GTX is it ?
