LOL Don't blame me m8, blame intel! Unless someone wants to donate a cheapo 775 mobo so I can access my HD's theres little I can do bar re-write all the databases again. Shouldn't be long now.

Come to think of it with all the latest entries I guess it would be just as much work to update the databases as to re-write them. I'll get on it

just a quick Q... if superpi crashes sometimes i.e. windows error says its not responding.. does that mean the system is not stable or just windows being picky? as its fine on orthos and is stable over 12 hours. and i can run superpi 1M but sometimes when i run it, it stops responding a few iterations in. and just to make clear its not the rounding error that appears its windows saying it has to close.

 

[Hesky82]

If orthos runs fine then its not a stability issue. super pi can act like that with an utterly unstable system but of course one second of orthos or prime will crash out the machine.

 

[weescott]

LMAO...Tell easyrider your PC is Orthos stable but not PI stable!!!

-----

I would guess its a Ram problem. Try running OCCT for your ram.

 

[Sasso]

aww no it cant be my ram already had to rma it once and it got replaced and i memtested it the moment the new stick arrived. it is running at 1069 instead of 1066 but 3hz aint gunna do nowt and its running at the 2.2.

im sure its just something to do with windows as it runs superpi fine pretty much all the time

like im running orthos now and its been going on small fft over 3 and 1/2 hours and still going just ran superpi whilst orthos was running and i still got under 13 sec for 1M hehe

 

[weescott]

This is Ironic! Talking about stability testing in a SuperPI thread.

At the end of the day, some of these stability tests should not be relied upon so heavily.

/OT

 

[Sasso]

ayy sorry was borderline off topic but i did include superpi talk so its alll good hehe

 

[Hesky82]

Up until now I never bothered with hours long stability tests, would run the relevant amount of 32mb PI instances and an hour max of prime blend.

6 years of overclocking and many posts from easy insisting to run small fft I made the effort of getting my system 8 hours small fft prime stable and 4 hours memstest stable.

Has been fine for a week or to, and today after 4 hours of crysis it rebooted

In all the years of playing games on overclocked machines which haven’t been tested for "total stability" I’ve never had a game reboot my pc!

Screw 8-12 hour stability tests, they are a total waste of time and electricity!!

I’m with you weescott, PI is good enough for me now

 

[Sasso]

1M or 32M which ya recommend to stop at?

oops sorry missed the first bit, so 32M and an hour of blend, job done hehe

Please keep the thread on topic - no talk about stability here just xtreme clockspeeds. There are plenty of threads regarding stability.

As for updates to the thread - I just won a new mobo so expect updates when it arrives early next week .

Now for a quick Q - Do you think it would be a good idea to separate the 45nm cores from the 65nm as the newer cores have 3mb per core vs 2mb which gives a distinct advantage? Dual from Quad or just leave it as is?

 

[Sasso]

sorry feel free to delete my posts
managed to get 11.751 on 1M tho woo

It’s not just the extra cache that helps. pi mod 1.5 is optimized for sse3 and as these new penryn have an improved micro architecture with supplemental sse2 and sse3 instructions we are seeing improvements in current apps that don’t even support the new sse4 instructions. In every way there just a more tweaked cpu.

But as far as the question is concerned I don’t think it’s that hard to distinguish between cpu’s so I don't see a real need to split them up. It’s not nearly as confusing a the 3dmark databases, with multiple gpu’s, different os’s etc...

The Q9300 with 6mb cache throws that arguement out the window.

Yeah but you see what I mean, the PI scores are obviously gonna differ depending on CPU instruction set/cache.

Bah I'll leave it as is - easier for me lol.

Ok i would post my clock but i dont know how to put pictures on posts?

go to a site like imageshack.us and upload it then where it says link for forum thumbnail forums 1 (or something like that, its one of the top links) copy and past that into the text box..
sohould read something like [url.........................url]
or go to the last link and just copy paste that into the text box, but be wary of its size, if its a high res it might break the rules so when ya upload you can always resize it abit

Just to keep you all updated. My rig will be back up and running (fingers crossed) this thursday so expect an update thereafter. Sorry for the delays guys.
