8 Packs 4ghz 32m Challenge win full Haswell 4770K Bundle.

Like i said Raikiri score to me seems impossible. I can post full bios setup screenshots or video. But 7 seconds faster its like impossible with memory so much slower than my. Does he have rest of timings on 4 and 5 only ???
 
I'm using an asus mve and have my g skill tuned to the absolute max, hardly any settings are on auto, all primary, seconday and tertiary plus a few others are all manually set, and I'm still behind Raikiri.

I wouldn't mind but with c10 1909mhz I'm dumbfounded.

I've just managed a run of 7:57.460

I need xp lol
 
I lost a bit of time by trying Windows XP, tried changing settings but didn't get any better so gave up and went back to Windows 8.

Oh dear, that's not encouraging news.

There's me just about to head out an get a ps/2 kb to install xp!

Mind you, I'll still try. This is ever so addictive

Nice time for IB

I have the same memory.
Try bringing tras down to 21.

Look at my screen shot and crib the timings shown in memtweakit.

No one on SB/IB is going to bother as Haswell will win this.
Running hardware damaging voltages with no chance of winning isn't going to happen.

What will happen towards the end is that folks with extreme cooling will start posting 7.20s.

It will come down to whoever has the fastest set of binned RAM most likely provided free by a sponsor.

IB users should bother as i'm sure they'll be the ones to win it.

8 Pack's word is final, i doubt he'll pick a Haswell user to win Haswell kit.

Well, not unless he changes the rules:


The rules behind this competition are as follows:

-The competition runs from Sunday 2nd June to midnight Sunday 30th June.

-The person with the lowest time to complete Super Pi 32m Time at the closing Time wins the prize.

- The prize is a full Intel Haswell 4770K Upgrade kit to include Intel 4770K CPU, After Market Air Cooler, Corsair 2 x4gb 2133mhz RAM and MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming Series motherboard. The Bundle will come with a Super Pi Profile 8 PACK has tweaked himself for optimal bench performance. He may also be persuaded to do a 24/7 overclock profile too;)

- Submissions by forum members only.

-Download Super Pi mod from here
http://downloads.hwbot.org/downloads/benchmarks/super_pi_mod.exe

-Run 32m with your CPU at 4ghz Clock speed and if your CPU has Uncore with Uncore at 4ghz too ( I will give a 1% allowance in this so if CPU Z in your submission screen shot shows 4040mhz or less you are ok, I am allowing this as CPU-Z often shows 100.xx BLK even when you set 100 in Bios) Any CPU can be used.

- All submissions must be on the competition Desktop Background which can be downloaded from:http://imageshack.us/download/28/8pack4ghzchallenge.jpg

-All submissions must have a screen shot of the time at the end of Super Pi 32m and Pi calculation done box.

-All submission Must have CPU Z open on Both CPU Speed and Type Tab and Memory Tab as bare minimum. MB and SPD of Memory can be shown if you wish. No CPU Speed and Memory Tab no submission.

- No software can be used at any stage to during the benchmark run interfere with the speed of CPU, Memory BLK etc.... If it looks too good to be true it is and the submission will be removed and the submitter banned from the rest of the Comp.

- 8 Packs decision is final!!!

Seems odd that to win one you use one.

Haswells are fine. Yes under 4ghz is fine too.

I am glade so many are trying this. I will get a leaderboard up and running in the next couple of days.

Well, the rules say that the competition is only open to forum members - I assume that means existing forum members when the competition started? If not then what would be the point of this distinction (given that you need to be a forum member to post, and need to post in order to enter).

I don't think we have any existing forum members with sponsorship for extreme cooling (apart from 8 Pack of course).

I keep thinking about building a Haswell rig to run single cards on but even if I did, I would not use it to compete in this as the parts I would be using would be speced different to the prize anyway (there is not a lot of point trying to win something you don't need).

It would be nice if the prize went to a non Haswell setup.:)

There's a couple 1Day and hivisman come to mine, there's a couple others as well that took part in the gigabyte masters of over clocking competition. I came second I think as one if them had the extra kit to get the better points in all the benches
 
Eugh... so my TridentX 2600 kit came.

Won't even do stock timings. Scores 7s worse than with my ancient xms3 kit :(

I have the worst luck with hardware (at least when I buy it for myself).
