CPU Mark benchmark

[Guest2]

What CPU mark rating do you get?

With an i5@4ghz I get 6789. Would be interesting to see what new Ivy CPUs are scoring


Performance test 7 evaluation is here

3930k @ 4.7ghz -18004.0

Is this the best so far?

Ranks higher than anything on the Rankings list here

Passmark CPU: 6163

i5 750 @ 175 x 21 running 1.2v (only).

Purchased the chip in April 2009, and fair margin under it's overclock limit so pleased with that score.

Out of interest what temps do you get in coretemp / real temp at 1.2volts and does it show 1.2 volts under load or idle?

I'm seeing around 61c on core temps during Cinebench. My CPU always shows 1.2 volt, I have CPU C2/C3/C4 states turned off (C1 is still on) so voltage is not dropping at idle.

I also only have a Arctic Freezer 7, and have set so it's fan kicks in late, at these temps it's only running around 1800 rpm, 2200 rpm is it's max. I am using recently applied IC diamond 24 that helped temps somewhat.

Also: I'm running a Seasonic X650, it has very stable voltage output and allowed me to run lower voltage over previous OCZ 600.

67c on core temps during Cinebench. Get running Intel Burn test maximum, then should warm up your CPU properly and see if its truly stable at 1.2volts

My C1E, C3, C6 are all disabled as is EIST and thermal monitor.

I'm running a corsair TX850

Going to try dropping volts down a bit to reduce temps


edit - I set volts to 1.27500 in bios which is 1.216 load, 1.2482 idle. Cinebench passes with max temps of 64c. However IBT max blue screens as I guessed.

Volts are now at 1.28750 in bios which is 1.232 load, 1.264 idle. Cinebench 67c. IBM max passes at 83c

Guest what i5 processor do you have? I have the early 1156 i5 750 here.

I keep EIST enabled, this reduces my multiplier down at idle and reduces heat and power consumption.

Also I would keep your thermal monitor on, I can't see if effecting overclocks but should help prevent damage to your CPU. You never know if a CPU fan will fail, or CPU cooler could become loose, thermal monitor should give at least limited protection.

i5 760

Isnt it better to have a constant 4ghz instead of dropping up and down all the time. Surely its like turning a light on an off

If thermal monitor is off, wont it just blue screen and reboot anyway? (like IBT does) at the end of the day it was a £40 upgrade so if it burns out after 3 years im not too fussed

Hi Guest

You may as well allow the CPU to reduce it's multiplier at idle. It will save you electric and reduce strain on components such as motherboard and PSU, also give the CPU fan a rest if it's PWM controlled. There will be no gain you can notice from running at 4ghz constantly anyway!

Your correct the computer will blue screen when CPU gets to hot and crashes, however without thermal monitor the CPU will stay at it's speed and damage could occur. Thermal monitor gives you some protection. As mentioned there is always the chance a CPU fan could fail, or heat sink come loose.

will turn off both and re-test tonight
