Official Catacombs Super-Pi

[Janus]

The benchmark used by Super-Pi is one's time to complete and process 1M digits of Pi. This includes from creating initial value to outputting the value.

As stated in the general rules for posting scores here is the general format that I am requesting in order to keep a top10:

Link to modified (with thousandths Super-Pi) CLICKY (http://superpi.radeonx.com/super_pi_mod-1.4.zip)

Score -- Name -- Processor (with Core) -- Speed -- RAM Divider -- Timings ([CasL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS]) -- Videocard -- Speed (if overclocked)
Voltages for both CPU/RAM are optional, but recommended. Everything in bold is available from cpu-z.

Example:

29.782s - Janus - 3700+ San Diego - 2770mhz - 9/10 - 2-2-2-6 - BFG 7800GTX

The best score I have gotten so far was 29.593, but I will wait til I get that uploaded to photobucket.

[illskillz]

36s - illskillz - 3000+ venice - 8x300 2400mhz - 9/10 - 2.5-3-3-8 - x600pro


screenshot later

[Janus]

not bad, but I think you can get 'er down to 32s ;)

you using stock cooling?

Also, I think that running at a higher multi with a lower htt might help you out. Try running 290x9

[illskillz]

Yeah I'm no where near done playing with it, I was doing 2.4 with 9x267 resulting in the same super pi, but just to get 2.4 I need to give it 1.45 volts so I'm not sure I could reach 290x9 :o. For cooling I'm using a CNPS7000A-Cu.

[Janus]

That heatsink should be fine, I would be fine giving my cpu up to 1.65v. If only to test it out for benchmarking, then you could always bump it back down to 1.6v.

[stas]

so im really new to this whole thing. exactly what do i need to enter/do on the super-pi thing as far as the time/checksum?

[Janus]

you don't need to do anything with the checksum, that is only if I wanted to check the validity of your numbers, but not necessary.

I take it you have ran one pass (or more, whatev) I just want you to post your system information along with the final time that is listed (after outputting the amount) and a picture to prove it. An upload to anywhere is fine, I personally use photobucket until I start using my webhost again.

oh and illskillz, you got exactly 36s? Are you using the modded 1.4 version that I posted? It should display in thousandths of a second.

[illskillz]

I haven't downloaded the modded version yet, I'll do that later this afternoon when I get home from work.

edit: and whats the best way you think to raise the voltage? max the voltage to 1.55 then start adding the % of, or just play around with the numbers?

[Commander]

36.125s - Commander - 3200+ Newcastle (754) - 2552mhz (232x11) - 1/1 - 3-2-2-10 - GFFX 5900

[$hadowgod]

53.704s - $hadowgod - 2600+ Thoroughbred? - 2080mhz - ram divider? doesnt say in CPU-Z - 2.5-3-3-7 - ATI 9800 Pro - CPUv 1.620
I did see a 1:1 ratio somewhere in the RAM area. is that the RAM divider?

still havent had enough time to really play with this, my ram is good past 280mhz with these timings and i'm sure the cpu will keep up if i feed it juice, just havent had time :(

[Janus]

thanks, updated, post the sn when you have time.

[Repo]

50S flat.

[Janus]

you are running 2x128 sticks?

[Repo]

Well in that test I had
two pc3200 512 sticks and a 256mb PC2100 Stick
and i got 50s.
After removing the 2100 Stick it dropped to 46s and i didn't have my cpu fan on the right settings ill try again later.

[Janus]

sounds good, see if you can get about 43

[spin]

this is sad but:
40s -- darkcrystal -- 3200+ venice -- 200x10 -- 1/01 -- 2-2-2-5 -- x800xl

havent started ocing yet :\

[Janus]

yeah, dc, i need you to use the modded version so I get the numbers down to the thousandths of a second. -- http://superpi.radeonx.com/super_pi_mod-1.4.zip

And as a reminder to everyone, I would like a picture as stated in the first post of this thread.

sucky :(

[Janus]

cmon bro, don't post til you get under 34 :-D good improvement though.

thank you for posting the picture etc, try to make it a link next time though to save bandwidth. I am going to edit your post to make it a link right now.

finally actually got a good oc, but my temps are way too high :(

heres my full load temp:

[illskillz]

34.359

oh hell no

[Janus]

well done dc, moving you up :D

keep working at it ill, you can do it!

[Commander]

my full load temp goes into the low 50s with watercooling ;)

[Janus]

I would hope lower than that really, I mean my full load temps are about 46/47 [on air] (although all motherboard sensor/probe readers can be off by as much as 10C so it is really unfair to compare temperatures). I am hoping to get load temps of the lower 40s with a new watercooling setup that I plan this school year or next summer.

[spin]

32.860!!! -- darkcrystal -- 3200+ venice -- 270x10 -- one below 9/10 cant remember lol -- 2.5-4-4-8 -- x800xl

pwnage (http://home.comcast.net/~denise.orr/pics/oc3.JPG)

im not going any further becuz its really unstable. ima try to run 3dmark but i dunno if it will hold :(

janussssss you should be proud of me!! lol

[Janus]

well done buddy, how much voltage you giving it?

also, those are the loosest timings I have ever seen! also your A64 Tweaker page needed to be refreshed, it is displaying the wrong timings, i am still gonna update for you though!

anyone else got any good scores? I am waiting for boo-st- his FX-55 should beat me out!

[illmatiC]

35.234s - illmatiC - 3500+ newcastle (939) - 2475mhz - 1/1 - 2.5-2-2-5 - 6600gt

whoops I looked at the wrong number, score corrected and pic added.

what are these processes you speak of jan? the ones in ctrl-alt-del?

[Janus]

not bad, i think you should be able to get around 32 if you turn off all other processes and run super-pi at realtime.

[Janus]

yeah, excess processes in ctrl-alt-del.

hmm, looks like you already have a lot of them shut down. Well, try running it at real-time priority and maybe you can get a small boost. And is that the best OC you can get out of your processor?

[illmatiC]

2640mhz is my max oc but 2475mhz is the farthest i could push my value ram 1:1.

i bought a used 3700+ sandiego yesterday for $300 and sold my 3500+ newcastle for 210. The guy did 2.97 with it, so hopefully i can get 2.8 atleast.

[Janus]

wow, I spent less than that on a new sandy. But seeing as he almost got 3.0ghz on it (with AIR?) then it may just be worth it for that. Don't be afraid to run a divider, the increase in clock speeds should outweigh the RAM running at a slightly lower frequency. If not, the change it back, do the tests yourself, no better way really.

[XciT]

56.500s - XciT - 2800+ Barton - 2079.6mhz - 3-3-3-8 - 9700pro

it's canadian and it's liek 280, shipping + insurance sux

[Janus]

oh okay, that makes it better, although I did spend about $270 for mine and it is about $230 now at newegg.

[illmatiC]

Man im terrible w/ google.

Whats the stock voltage for the 3700+, I hate leaving the bios on auto.

[Janus]

i think 1.425

[jamwt]

4-way dual core 2.4 GHz Xeon Box (8 "logical" CPUs).

12GB of RAM

http://jamwt.com/bigbox.gif

76.137s because super-pi doesn't use multiple threads/CPUs. :p

No overclocking, of course. Manufacturer recommended timings & etc.

Oh well, it was worth a shot...

- Dizzy

[spin]

12 gigs of ram and your pagefile has 10.7 gigs full!?!?!!? WTF!!! thats a lot of cpu's :P

[illmatiC]

just curious what a comp like that is used for?

[jamwt]

just curious what a comp like that is used for?

Browsing the web really, really fast.









Actually, it's used for statistical analysis on multi-terabyte databases.

Unfortunately doesn't seem to utilize duel core chips well - I noticed about 74% on core 0 and 20% on core 1 while the test ran.
Never did find time to tweak my memory settings any better :(

thanks Tempest for following the template.

Keep working at the settings, you will get it, also, try to get your processor up a bit. What RAM do you have, you may be able to get some FSB out of it.

[TempesT]

I probobly won't push the cpu any higher with my current air cooling. When I was playing around with it I hit a point where it was needing a lot more voltage to get stable at a bit higher clock speed, and it gets pretty warm up in my Computer room. I've seen CPU temperature near 55C with stress testing.

I did have the RAM up to 290 Mhz (with the CPU on a divider) with 2.5-4-4-10 timings once but it was so hot I couldn't touch it for more then a 1/2 second. I've recently installed 2 tiny fans above the RAM so I may try tweaking it again.

I'm still messing around with overclocking. I had it at 3.6ghz for a bit and did a 14 second run but it crashed right after. Expect better times later :D

updated. Cmon I want to see some sub 12 numbers!
