Bring it, biatch! I'm fairly impressed, actually. Not just the score - I managed that with much lower CPU and QPI volts than I expected. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction, Lenny.
Ubuntu One thing first - I had a brain fart. By default the Software Center is there on the left, but it's got a kind of packaging cardboard box icon with the Ubuntu logo in one corner. EDIT: That's just my theme changing the icons. Looking at your screenie (in the FUTURE!) its the suicide bomber bag with fireworks coming out of it. When you have extracted the files (assuming in home/Downloads/dist) then open a terminal then type 'cd Downloads/dist'. That will get you into the dist folder. Then type 'ls' (that's an L, like lprob1 ) or look in the file manager to see what folder you need to get into next. For me it was 'Geekbench-2.2.3-Linux'. Notice the capitalization. So type 'cd Geekbench-2.2.3-Linux'. Now you are in the folder with the executables, so just type './geekbench_x86_32' to run it. A useful tip while using the terminal is that Tab autocompletes the command or file that you are typing. So in the first 'cd' you could type 'cd Down' then press Tab, and 'loads/' would be automatically filled in. Then 'dist/Geek' and Tab results in the rest of the 'Geekbench-2.2.3-Linux', without actually having to type it in. And finally './geek' +Tab will give you './geekbench_x86_', but not the 32, because there are two executables (denoted by the ./) that begin with 'geek', so just finish it off with the 32 and press enter.
Grrrr.... you can just drag the executable file into the terminal window!!! No one mentions that anywhere. Still can't work out why I can't CD into the directory though.... ANY directory. anyway... http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/claim/540031?key=869275 That's at 4.7GHz Ubuntu 11.10
Or you can do that Also wanted to add that for some reason integer performance is better on Windows (comparing LennyRhys's 920 against mine [930 that is, but little difference]) yet floating-point is better on Linux?
Yep.. Integer is down on that Linux run, yet floating point is off the scale. "CD" does not seem to work with any directory at all. At least I have a working Linux install now. I've configured the BIOS in such a way that I shut down.. plug in the drive with Linux on it into the hot swap bay.. restart.. and I'm in Linux. Shut down.. remove drive... restart... back in Windows.. sweet! Not that I have a use for Linux... but it's still cool.
OK, last one for tonight. 12372 CPU @ 4.51GHz http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/540034 I may do a banzai run tomorrow, after I've finished hacking at my case to improve cooling.
what ram speed, and how much RAM please? Can't put it on the board without all the info. Charts fixed and updated.
Full screenie, or preferably a link please. Can't really read that.. way too small. Geekbench is terrible at reporting clock speeds too, so can you please either include a screenie of CPU-Z or just tell me what your clock speed is.
Very impressive. The best I can do with my 920 is 4.4GHz with 2100 mem and 4200 uncore, might net me 12.5K but I'm not sure.
Just wanted to get my name in over 10,000 before going for my highest. Note that CPU-Z has the correct CPU speed, Geekbench just records the default. EDIT: On air.
I know there's more in there - the board's QPI will go to 220 ish, with plenty of volts. But it's more about finding a balance, isn't it? I ran it at 4.55GHz but the memory bandwidth dropped off a bit. Clearly some instability crept in, but not enough to kill the test or halt the system. I think she'll do 12.5 maybe 12.6k, but she'll be scary hot.
Hey guys, quite a entertaining read so though i would giver her a go: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/540107 8448 on 32 bit Not bad at all for a i5 760 on a msi p55a-g55 if I dont say so myself
Damn it! I haven't checked this thread in a while, but now I have, I find Siwini has usurped my leading of LGA1156 Can my i5 possibly beat his i7? Only one way to find out........MOAR VOLTS!!!!!!
