^^ What he said. Impressive looking setup, is it noisy? I assume it's quite high-maintenance? Know nothing about phase, will have a read up about it later.

Managed to slightly improve my time but still not sub 6m 30s :(

Chip doesn't like going over 4.9ghz, managed to get "reasonably" stable at that but anything above is dodgy.
 
I just had to log in to do some work, and thoguht I'd increase the multi to see if the machine would boot still....

Now up to 23*200 = 4.6Ghz

Piccy...

8m 36.496s

Not too shabby - and again I'm still on "auto" for all the settings in the bios. No ram overclock or anything :)

I'm going to kick off my folding client to see how stable we are. I was rock solid @ 4.4 so I'm hopeful... If nothing else... ;)
 
Nice submissions, I'll get em added!

kitfit1, I've moved you to the extreme cooling section. Extremely impressive scores, but the cooling is extreme. I think I may have to buy a phase changer on my next build... Whats the noise, power usage, maintenance & running costs (if any)?

The amount of noise depends on the size and type of compressor used. The Rotary comp in the photo is very large and very noisy...............in fact they don't come much noisier lol. Power usage i have never taken any notice of, but i do have one of those remote power meters that the MEB install. With the phase in the photo and the computer running, it draws less power than running a kettle (kettle turns the power light red, the phase turns it amber).
Once set up, there is no maintenance. One of those internet myths that they need maintaining, they are sealed units, so unless they spring a leak they don't need anything doing to them. The only running cost is the electricity and insulation on whatever motherboards you are going to use.
You can't buy a ready made brand new phase in the uk, no one makes them anymore. You would need to talk to someone that makes them to order :D
There's not a lot of us around though ;)
 
My dreams of competing with you guys is definitely one not founded in fact or ability :(

Last one for the moment. I've tried 4.8ghz, but that requires upping the vcore some more, and I'm just not that bothered at the moment - better to wait until I've got the rig completed properly and not in the current state.

That's another 5 secs off - I upped the uncore speed to 3200 - double the speed of the ram and that's consistently improved the scores. This being my best so far. Unfortunately it's not 24/7 folding stable, so I'm backing off the multi back to 22x
 
For some that dont know, a couple of tips to help.

Goto control panel and in top right type appearance and select change windows app. From the list and set to best performance, click apply, then ok.

Then at start menu type msconfig and select, now check diagnostic start up, click apply and reboot, this will only load basic drivers and services.

Once rebooted and superpi is loaded, bring up task manager and change priority to realtime.
 
Can you change priority to realtime after a diagnostic start in Win7?

Haven't tried but highest priority I could set under a normal boot was High.

Changing themes & cpu affinity didn't seem to make much difference either :/
 
I don't know if I can face trying again, my chip is lazy (as am I) and doesn't like anything over 4.5ghz.

Couldn't set priority to realtime after a normal boot, will try diagnostic start and see what happens. Thanks for the tip :D

what ram are you running? pretty sure you could do 21 instead of 24?

trfc at 96? might be able to do 88? I can do 88 on my asus z68

Ram is Samsung Green, crashed when set at 21 so had to back off to 24.

Had a swine of a time getting the PC to boot at 5.2 let alone 5.3 so I don't expect to be able to go any faster. Multiplier keeps getting stuck on mobo, you don't want to know how many times I had to clear the cmos to get the score above :/
