Fritz Chess Benchmark/Super PI Thread 2010

To be honest if we are looking at usefulness we need 24/7 clocks and voltages.

Some of the voltages on the i7s look quite high for 45nm processors that are not AMD (as far as i know AMD uses different process technology that is more volt resistant but less heat resistant).

What are the recommended 24/7 voltages for i7 with no risk of electromigration? With Yorkfield it was said at no more than 1.4v
 
How do we know what's a 24-7 clock and voltage? Add better cooling and the computer that was on its way to an early death will be 24-7 stable for years.

And does anyone really look at SuperPi and FRITZ to decide upgrades? My main demanding use is gaming so I look at game benchmarks. If you're into encoding surely you'll look at encoding? I'm sure these benches are analogous in some way but to be honest, the only time I ever look at SuperPi results (apart from messing about here) is to find out if my tweaking /overclocking helped at all.

Its gives a rough idea on how much processing power the chip has.

I think its quite and eye opener that a stock i7 920 is as fast as a Q6600@ 3.8ghz

Once this basic benchmark is established one can then look deeper into the upgrade path and check gaming benchies etc...

And its a bit of fun sharing ideas and chatting about it.
 
Screenie of IBT passed at 20x maybe? Its faster than Prime and more reliable i think.

And i do believe that voltages kill processors, regardless of heat effects. Its a phenomenon called electromigration.

We should add a free gaming benchmark to compare. Something thats not 3d mark though!
 
@Trunks, I personally didn't think these tests were to show stable clocks, are they?

I figured they were just about seeing who could push for the highest scores, no?

Tbh though, 1.440v I'm using for 4.4GHz I would be more than comfortable using on my own rig under water, also, the profile I had on my own system for 4.4GHz only uses around 1.38v iirc.

i5 750 @ stock speed
saving up for a CPU cooler first, before overclocking!!

NAM Killer's results is pretty bad ass.

If you're reading this thread to mate, what frequency is your RAM running at?

Thanks :)

My FSB: DRAM is 2:8, the speed is set to 1760 in the BIOS but since my bus speed has been reduced by 0.2, the actual speed would have been 1758.4

The timings were 8-8-8-24-1T
 
Nice work with the table in the other thread paradigm.

With hindsight putting me in the Athlon X2 box is a bit confusing without further explanation. It's a little unfair to anyone running a genuine Athlon X2 I think, and a bit confusing for anyone that might thing a standard 65nm X2 could get those kind of numbers.
