wheres it say that? I find it very hard to go sub 8 minutes tbh

I think doing the sums your score is getting pretty close to as good as it gets.

If you work on the basis that you get 5% or 6% better performance per core than us SB-E users. If you knock 5% or 6% off of the X79 times it gets you close to what you are scoring.

So where does that leave normal SB as their individual core performance is hardly any different to our SB-E

idk,i just find it puzzling that very high ram MHz and relatively tight timings are being blown away with low ram MHz speed and loose timings

also clock for clock ivy should be quicker than sandy and haswell quicker than ivy,not sure on x79 where they stand

Very slightly slower than normal SB

On the above bench I have managed to beat out all but one of the SB setups, and he was running a higher overclock.
 
does superPi max out a core on windows XP as opposed to windows8? Because during my tests I noticed only hitting about 70-80% cpu on a single core, I guess if you really wanted to you could completely reserve a core for superpi, just not sure if theres any benefit.
 
Well, I'm about ready to order a Haswell machine to build over the weekend. I'll be going for a 4770K and (probably) the Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H. When it's built I'll join the fun and have a crack at 8-minutes :D Since this benchmark seems to be all about the memory, I'm wondering what you guys would recommend? I'll need to get 16Gb (as 2x8Gb modules to allow for 32Gb later - I'll be running large CFD simulations on occasion), so that restricts things a little.

Basically, would you recommend choosing tight timings over maximum rated speed, or vice versa?


Would I be better off going for a CAS-9 1833Mhz kit like:

Vengence pro silver 9-10-9-27 or EVO Voloche 9-9-9-27


Or would I see more benefit from a 2400Mhz kit with looser timings, like:

EVO Voloche 11-12-12-30, or Xtreem LV 10-12-12-31 ?


Or would I be better off with a compromise on a 2133Mhz kit? Or some other memory kit that I haven't mentioned?



Opinions from the hardcore overclockers please! :D
 
Just ran my 3970X on it's normal 24/7 settings, the performance is almost identical to my other Hexcores. They all use the same mobo and memory.

3930k

The point here is, all intels Hexcores perform identically.

Tight timings and fast memory speed are both important. 2400mhz memory with slack timings is pretty useless unless all you are after is to overclock the CPU.

Your best bet I think would be the compromise option @2133mhz with good timings.

If you use large memory sizes this also puts more strain on the IMC and makes it harder to run very high memory speeds/tight timings.
 
So far managed to complete a 8m 03.864s but really don't know how much more I can get out of my ram. Running a 3570k with g skill ripjaws overclocked from 2133mhz to 2600mhz 11-13-12-31-1T with tight secondary and tertiary timings.

How do people get sub 8 minutes?
