Other Geekbench scores

Just had a look, thats still a good score, but that program is all so very memory based and running the 32 bit program won't give you a true reading of you rigs capabilities.

 

nah it was 64bit

 

Bios settings and a dozen other factors can also impact. Disable anything like SpeedStep while you're testing, you'll have lower latency, rather than the faint pause in the time it takes for the CPU to scale back up to full speed.

 

should i disable both turbo and speedstep? i think i only turned off speedstep

 

Turbo is going to spin around a bit. it'd be better if you could achieve a higher overall speed, I think.

In other news: I have added, like, seven points to my score! http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/561316

Inch by screaming inch; I'm going to get 13k. Processor was at 4977mhz, Memory at 1580Mhz.

 

was this 32bit or 64bit?

 

32bit.

I'm really starting to push close to SB-E levels of Floating Point performance. http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/561317

5040Mhz Proc, 1599mhz Mem.

 

lol wat thats nearly as good as my 4.6ghz 2600k. awesome

 

Still can't hit my 13K goal, though. Bulldozer's crappy Memory Controller really isn't helping me here.

Still, not bad for a good fifteen minutes of work. Back to raging at games now.

 

you play bf3? add me names in sig

 

Not bothered with BF3. I'm too much of an Introvert to bother with teamwork.

Sidenote; This processor doesn't actually mind 1.725V if the need arises. Who'da thunk it?

 

I find this interesting, along the same lines as something bulldogjeff said in another thread AMD chips seem happy with whatever volts so long as you can tame the heat

 

Up to a certain point, aye. Beyond about 1.775; Water Cooling starts to become a bit iffy. You need DICE or stronger to keep it in check afterwards.

 

have you bumped your base clock for extra memory speed? You may have to drop you multi as you go.

 

hmmm i did raise it to 101 i think, i might try it higher next time

 

Mine happily raises to 105. As its memory sensitive, moving your baseclock also overclocks your memory. So you'll get a higher score. But it also overclocks your CPU x multi, so you have to balance clock speed against memory speed.

 

yeah i know unfortunately mine doesnt seem go higher than 103.5 which is what i use for 24/7

i will trying upping it to this and balancing multi/bclk next time though

 

Get that chip wound up j4mi3

 

Got me beat. I could probably push to 5.4GHz, but I'm gonna be busy with the ME3 demo. Nice one Tundra

 

I didn't bother with half steps. I put my multi to stock. Then raised baseclock as high as it would go, and afterwards raising multi. (I tell a lie. I put multi to 40) I hit voltage wall first. Before I found the high clocks. I was v.upset. need a better mobo. It was something i did not forsee.
