The CustomPC Media Benchmarking Suite

Memory does indeed make quite a difference, i was running my ocz reapers at 9-9-9-27, managed a score of 2074, brought them into 8-8-8-27, scored 2186. Im hoping i can get them running stable at their proper rated timings of 7-7-7-24. It was a pretty expensive tri channel kit, (£160.00). Id like to get what i paid for.:D
 
hmmm, trying to figure and find out what my rams exact settings are XMS3 2x2Gb 1600Mhz
part number can't be found anywhere on the corsair site, and the best timings i've managed to run seem to be 9-9-9-24, any ideas guys on getting em running faster maybe?

*edit*
ok just taken the ram out to have a look, part number is TW3X4G1600C7A, and stamped on the heatsink is 7-7-7-20 :S would love to have a dash at CL7 timings but memory timings in Bios absolutely confuses the hell outta me haha

Mem timings only seemed to improve the image editing test for me, the multitasking test dropped a few points even with higher Cpu Mhz.

Beh* the image editing score on your last run was very good but the other 2 tests don't seem up to par considering you were running 5315Mhz, you benching it on Win7?

Is there an X.M.P. setting somehwere in your bios?
That will run your memory at its rated speed/timings/voltage instead of a default generic memory profile.
 
nope, just selected ram to run at 1600Mhz ( rated ) and it's slackened my timings off to 11-11-11-29 :S can't find the correct memory timings on Corsairs site either so :S totally lost
 
Had a quick look around and it seems that manually changing the timings is your only option on that board :(

Just set the same timings/voltage as CpuZ reports under XMP-1600
 
ok managed 4.392Ghz with CL8 ram timings, couldn't get past 4.2Ghz with CL7 :(
small score increase lol think this is about as far as i'm gonna get :(

Yep. I got almost no improvement in score for the 100Mhz jump lol.
 
Bliemy, technology moves along quickly. My desktop is 5 years old this month and only scored this:


Image editing: 557 points.
Video encoding: 702 points.
Multitasking testing: 363 points.
Overall score: 541 points.

It's an AMD 64 x2 4200+ on an Asus A8N SLI board with 2Gb of DDR400 RAM. The dual Geforce 7600GTs in SLI seem to do alright though, even with modern games!

Even the wife's basic laptop (Core i3 330M with 3Gb of RAM - Acer5741) did better!

Image editing: 735 points.
Video encoding: 1085 points.
Multitasking testing: 532 points.
Overall score: 784 points.

not a bad score Ahar, nice to see some more AMD users posting :D

Not AMD for much longer though - I've been visiting the site to polish my rusty knowledge of building PCs to replace my poor overworked desktop. The 2500K is calling me :)
 
That will be a nice upgrade from the old rig, still running an old a64 4000 on an asus a8n 32 deluxe here, will have to try this bench on it.
