Forum: Overclocking and Benchmarks

To any PCStats********** users... Any ideas on how to get more people folding? There's only a couple dozen of us are still contributing. Perhaps this is due to the unusually cold weather and people would rather spend their money on heat...:confused: Please share your thoughts on how to encourage...

I'm new to this overclocking business and not very technical...... I've have read several threads and tried various thing and still can't get my system to boot with the processor at more than 3Ghz......... The processor was given to me so I figured I'd try my hand at it, but all to no avail. If...

Ok. I had a 2x raid 0 setup with Veloci's a while back, got about 160-180mb/s regularly with HD Tune. Now i ordered two more drives, getting 200mb/s iwth HD TUNE benchmark; however, getting 500mb/s with the FILE BENCHMARK. Can anyone explain why im getting so low numbers with the tranditional...

What a mess testing was yesterday!! :( But still, here's a few results :) Test bed was as follows: i7 @ 4.2Ghz (21 x 200) 6Gb Ram EVGA 762 with water block Sapphire 5870 - on air Sapphire 5970 x 2 - both on air Windows 7 - 32bit - Why 64bit wasnt installed, I've no idea!! :(

so i should be getting the new i7 860 along with EVGA P55 655-KR board, and a pair of Gskill DDR 1600. i need some quick help on a few pointers on how to get this puppy jump started in overclocking. i just read the Xbit lab's guide on the i7 860 overclocking. so as far as i know... i just...

Yeah.. I am not really a speed freak kind of guy, but I just bought my Vertex2 60GB SSD and I was curious to see how fast it is. I was really underwhelmed when I saw the results.. only a paltry 180MB/s in ATTO. Is something wrong with it? Is there something I can do to correct it? It's advertised...

When Futuremark announced 3DMark 11 back in May they said it would be launched in September. Since September will be ending tomorrow, we may have a new benchmark in the near future. Get your DX11 hardware ready.... :D

Hi!, I'm a hard gamer and Ive been thinking about buying a laptop with a powerful GPU, RAM and good capabilities for overclocking. Ive heard about Acer Ferrari and Alienware, anyone knows a better and cheaper choice? Brgds!

Hey there guys! Well the PCStats forum now has a Folding@Home team so we now need folders!!! :) It's very simple to join, simply download the client software, pick out a unique user name (please choose your forum user name, you don't have to if you don't want to though) and let the program...

This will work for DC or HT so have at it if you want to just make 2 folders (I use program files for mine but anywhere works fine) folder 1 C:\Program Files\F@H 1 folder 2 C:\Program Files\F@H 2 now D/L the Console version from stanford save it to my docs or where ever Do a copy and...

Trying to get an acceptable OC on a Q9550 (E0) for some time now. I'm stuck at 430 FSB x 8.5, which sucks sucks :- .The chip will pass cache tests in OCCT and Prime all day and night @ 4.0-4.2Ghz. The issue, I'm afraid is the bus or chipset. Blending or large tests result in nearly instant...

Just got my new toy...gonna try overclocking in a bit :)

I'm just wondering if everything looks good... So far it's ran LinX at 4096MB memory usage for 1h20min. Core 0/2 peaked at 72C and core 1/3 peaked at 68C. This is with HT on (and thus LinX running 8 threads) and Turbo is disabled along with SpeedStep. I'm running 200x21 with the RAM at...

BAM...I know you wanted me to run this benchmark, but it installs with a bunch of different predefined settings on the programs menu. Which do you want me to run?

For 24.7 settings, what has everyone managed for their overclock and could you please say what cooling your using to please :) If you wanna mention what board and if you've got a C0 or D0 that'll be cool :)

well, its not much. but i spent the last couple days compiling a new kernel, and tweaking, and trimming and all that good stuff. this is actually my first, fully functional, custom kernel. every time i tried before, they either ended up slower, or they were missin something, or just plain didn't...

Well what do you get when you show a CPU -95C and a few more jigga watts than you'd normally put through it?? Well, I'll show you :D CPU-Z Shot: ****************valid.canardpc**********/show_oc.php?id=638815 Super Pi 1m

While messing around in my system BIOS today I came across an odd discovery.... If I increase my PCIe bus from 100Mhz to 110Mhz, I can get my BCLK to run stable at a higher frequency...225Mhz instead of 220Mhz. Previously it would not boot with a BCLK of 225Mhz.

**********************.techpowerup**********/gpuz/9c6hf/ 1920mhz shader clock on my G92 8800GTS - seems really high to me! I've never been able to get very much headroom out of anything on a graphics card, so this seems too good to be true for me. I've been raising it in 10mhz increments, with about an hour of...

Wow, just hit the 4,000,000 total points mark for PCstats********** Folding@Home Team :thumb:

so i started pushing my Phenom 955 tonight. I'm likely to put about another 45minutes into it before i go to bed, its already 3am. This is my main system, that runs linux. this was a spur the moment thing, so i didn't really take time to put windows on a drive for a wider scope of benchmarks, so...

Looking to find an OGL benchmark that runs in Linux and Windows. Suggestions, anyone?

I can't believe I finally took the #1 spot on the PCStats********** Folding@Home team. Back when I started, Slumpy was the anchor of our team, back when we had a dozens of people folding for PCStats...Our numbers have dwindled a bit, but I'm glad that there's bunch left to carry the team. BTW - ...

Well considering yesterday was more like a birthday to me than Sunday was, here's a few pics of what was going on :) An early PC Mark 05 score:

i was wondering has anyone with a multi-GPU setup tried folding yet. i am just curious to find out if it's possible to do on my new 9800GX2. are there any special codes i have to type any additional installation i need to do.

Had to get 7 instances going before the CPU would sit at 100%. I wonder how many PPD my CPU will do...

I have a pair of GTX 260 (216 shaders) and an 8800GT. I want to get the 8800GT folding as well, but from what I read in my brief research, the CUDA drivers don't like this arrangement :fighty: different shader count seems to be the issue. I can't add the the "flag -force gpu nvidia_g92" to...

Well here ya go guys :D :p

Well, here's my thread to come... Going to hook up my old arse Pentium III 450MHz and see what she can do! Might even do a heatsink swap :scared: Got my super light XP (SP3 too!) made up and ready to rock (running in VMWare): Dropped down to 36.4MB shortly after...I think she'll fly :D

I've added standings for 3DMark Vantage. If anyone has any scores, please post them.
