2600K @ 5.5Ghz. Super PI 1M in 6.786s

[john3850]

Best I ever got was for 1m super pi 9.11 on i7-930 at 4450ghz with 4400 uncore.
Even used the turbo to get it 22x but the cheap mb kept restarting on me.
With decent mb you can get a high 8sec.1m superpi.
You need 4500+ i7 900 to reach 8.9.
Cool pi death runs Smakme

Yesterday, I used 'extreme' auto-tune setting on my Asus P8P67-D/i7-2600k/Kuhler 920 cooler... took the rig to 5.047ghz.

My son and I then played 'Battlefield:Bad Company 2' for about 2 hours. The water temp on the Kuhler was 111F. About an hour later, I was looking at some music videos on YouTube when I got a pop-up window warning, stating "cpu temp 129F/55C, vCore 1.552". I backed off to 'fast' setting in 'auto-tune', which then brought cpu to 4.429ghz.

Some folks at another site said the prob was not the temps but the voltage...what do you people think?

Yes it was voltage. Those auto-overclocking systems are horrible because IMO they tend to use way more voltage than you actually need.

It was a combination of the voltage and frequency.

P = CFV^2

Where P is power (heat), C is capacitance, F is frequency and V is voltage.

So by decreasing the frequency ~ 14% you will have dropped the amount of heat being generated by ~14%.

Check what voltage it is running at now (since you didn't state- auto may still have it running at >1.45V).

But if you dropped the voltage by a similar ~14% (to 1.325V) you would drop the TDP by almost 30%.

Combining both the frequency scale back and a voltage drop would net you a nearly 50% reduction in heat generated (~48%).

So, that temp of @ 55C was ok?

This is single core speed test this Super PI ,

use something real and better, use AIDA . Also who cares about time, as long has I can get my work done,,

 

[Ken g6]

Looks like AIDA costs money. D:

How about a multithreaded pi program? I found pi to 1M with that in 0.678 seconds, on an old Core 2! You really need to test 100M or higher with this program.

Nice pi program. Running it to 1,000,000,000 right now.

1.584V. Your chip must be feeling that.
