    So, lately i've played around with my 4400+ alot. Been trying to break the 30 second mark in Super Pi. I just can't get it. :sigh:

    Anyway. Here's what i did:

    Specs:

    CPU: 4400+ (ADA4400DAA6CD)
    Mobo: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
    Ram: 2x 1GB Mushkin Redlines XP4000 (3-3-2-8)
    The rest is not important

    So, i got my chip to 2750Mhz. I did this by leaving the Multiplier at 11 and pushing the FSB up to 250. I also made my RAM timings as tight as they would go, 2.5-3-2-6, and gave the RAM 2.9V. The diveder on the CPU:RAM was 1:1.

    And here's my score:

    What do you guys think? Any ideas on what i could do to get a better score?

    With a bit of tweaking you could squeeze 20-30 more MHz out of that memory... could be enough to drop it. Try 275x10 1:1 at 3-3-3-7 on the RAM.

    i find that a lower latency works better with super PI, BH-5 memory 1gig will easily break the 30 sec barrier

    With the 1M Super Pi test, it seems that the times are more reliant on the amount of L2 cache, and the speed of the RAM, than the overall speed of the processor. This may explain why the new Conroe chips coming out from Intel (which have a 4MB total L2 cache) rip through 1M tests in under 25 seconds in most cases. Try what hitman said, and see about getting the memory up to 275MHz. The slightly slacked timings should more than be made up for with the speed increase.

    I reckon you could easily get 11 x 255 at least on those babies at 3-3-2-8. I have mind at 2.8v and they run no problems :)

    I've found that increased ram speeds don't make as big a difference with superpie as running low latencies as with the mem at slightly slower speeds a divider

    Run Pi in realtime, and try manually assigning to 1 core

    Yer thats entitely possible if you take it slowly and methodically, dont jump to far ahead and if its your only rig, and your short on cast at the moment, and cant take a burnt out chip or board, just leave it at what it is.

    You're not going to get a burnt chip or board. If you're not vModding, it isn't going to happen. If you get a no-POSTer all you are 99.999% of the time is a BIOS reset away from recovery.

    What i really love about this A8N32, is that instead of manually resetting the CMOS, i can just tap NUM 0 while it boots and i can get into the BIOS, no matter my settings :D
