Super pi and OCing?

[helpimcrap]

recently i've built a quad core pc for fun so is this actually ok - super pi:1.5xs = 27 seconds at stock everything?

spec is Athlon II 630, 4gb 1333mhz ram, and 500gb HDD using win XP.

it was doing 32 seconds on my AMD 3800+ oced to 2.8ghz.

i've had a look but unable to find anything of use and this was a quick one to do.

upped the FSB to 230 and upped vcore 0.1v and memory 0.05v and it's now doing 23 seconds. unsure how stable it is but it can't be 'too' bad as it ran 8mb superpi in 4m17s.

Try running wprime 1.55 instead as SuperPI is known to be anti-AMD

As a benchmark my Athlon II X2 240 @ 3.6 does it in 21seconds so somewhere in the region of 12-18 seconds should be about right

why is it classed as anti amd?

i got it down to 23s now and it 'seems' stable.

It's anti-AMD because it's compiled specifically to use some of the features that the Intel cpus are very good at. It's a perfectly adequate checking tool; the 32m test is tough and a cpu that is not stable is unlikely to perform it but with your quad you would need to run four seperate instances of the 32m test as superpi is single-threaded.

As an indication, my Q6600 on a suicide run at 3.6GHz did 14 seconds. Is it that much faster than yours at other programs? Probably not.
