i will and did beat you at lower CPU MHz for SPI.....so you can't argue unfair advantage there.....

No, they don?t need to do that. just use looser mem timings and test Spi.
everone knows, there is no need for a completely knew set up.
as I have said before, I am waiting for my TCCD's to get here, then I will test Spi w/ timings close to yours. But I feel, you are not interested in fair and square comparison/competition, but only to ridicule and offend. I will not tolerate your abusive language anymore, take this as a warning. you should be very careful how you communicate w/ members in this forum.

wtf are you on about

i am a member of this forum and an equal one to you and everyone else

let me say it AGAIN..........i will bench at lower CPU MHz and STILL beat you >>>>> DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT or are you happy to play dumb again

Hey I have been running this Venice 3000 @ 352X8= 2814mhz on this Asrock Dual SataII Mobo. I ran the prime on it last night for 10 1/2 hrs no problem. I am using this setting as I am typing. I did try 355x8 but during Spi it froze. Since I am using stock HSF, I am reluctant to increase the vcore voltage. I have done vcore, vdimm, vdd, and vldt mods on this board. Right now I have set the voltages to:
vcore=1.616v
vdimm=2.91v
vdd=2.12v
vldt=1.24v
Screenshot1
Screenshot2
358x8=2864mhz is 59.1% increase over stock speed
SiSandra Score
I have also modded the NB, and SB Heat sinks, w/ copper fins and small fans blowing on them. an 80mm fan is also blowing on the mem modules.
If Asrock provides more vcore, vdimm, and chipset voltage options, this motherboard will beat any board in the market. The proof is in the 352mhz HTT/FSB.
If you dont think so just prove it. no rowdyness please.

Edit:
If you are interested in any of those voltmods, check this Link

Edit2: Also did higher fsb/htt @ lower multi. refer to links below:
below are meaningless FSB/HTT speed and just an observation. The whole purpose of this thread is 8x352=56.5% speed over stock @ lower multi.
Asrock @ 380 mhz
Asrock @ 390 mhz
Asrock @ 393 mhz

Edit: Just did 5x397mhz

EDIT2: Anyone interested to participate in this challenge, must follow the following criteria:
1) Must perform the test w/ stock cooling. Water cooling is accepted only if you run prime, superpi, and another stress program all at the same time w/ screenshot to prove it. Otherwise it wont be fair challenge and Asrock will hold the record.
2) The vcore must not be more than 1.61v for Venice and 1.575v for Opteron. Otherwise it would not be fair challenge, and not acceptable.
3) Any CPU will be accepted, but it must be overclocked to or more than 56.5% over stock speed at a lower multiplier. FSB/HTT of 500mhz is meaningless if the system is not overclocked to mentioned speed- criteria is not met.
4) Must have proof and validation, equal or greater than what I have shown:
10hr of prime, Superpi 32M, and CPUz validation.
5) Must have performed using dual channel rams, any size- a single stick of ram is not acceptable.

If you meet those criteria please do so and post w/ your proof.
And please no foul language. Some DFI users here have adopted that habit. Do not follow suit, it will only hurt you.
Any suggestion(s) is/are welcomed. I have endeavored to establish a fair criteria. If you feel otherwise, please let me know what need to change.

Thank you and looking forward to ?Duel? fair and square...

EDIT3: I increased the voltage to 1.63v and did the following. Wasn't going to take a chance w/ stock HSF so I just did a 1m Spi iteration

8x363=2904mhz, a 61.3% overclock over stock
9x325.22=2927mhz, a 62.6% overclock-For those who wonder if can do w/ stock multiplier
SiSandra mem bandwidth.
1M Superpi

Hi,
I noticed your Vcore and Vdimm are pretty high, what kind of mod did you do to get it to go so high?

Thanks.

It's in his original post including a link to the volt mod...........

I have also modded the NB, and SB Heat sinks, w/ copper fins and small fans blowing on them. an 80mm fan is also blowing on the mem modules.

1) Check.
2) 1.52v, check.
3) Opty 144, 57% over stock, check.
4) Check.
5) 2x512MB Mushkin PC3200, check.

Good job.
I have raised the bar a little.
screenshot
that is 58.22% increase over stock speed @ lower multi.
I will prime it tonight when wether is cooler. Ambient temp is my friend since I am only using stock HSF. don?t want to fry anything w/ high temp during the day.
Never the less, you have accomplished the task and I commend you for it.
thanks for the screenshot.

Just wanted to show you it could be done on a DFI as well as ASrock
Would have had it up for you last weekend like I had said previously, but my system went down for some unexplicable reason, and I didn't get it back up until Tuesday. Been busy the rest of the week. I think this is probably the highest I can prime it.

 

[designit]

@ avelon,
Oh that's fine. At least you made an effort and showed a proof that DFI can do the same or better.
I dont doubt DFI is a very good mobo. You and managed a great mem speed and timings
at that high of FSB/HTT. My mem kit cant do that. Hopefully when I recieve the TCCD's I can do better.
again, thank you for sharing the outstanding result on your DFI set up.

I tried to go a little higher and make a superpi run, but the system wouldn't take it. Strange, in that I only went up 16mhz, and the system went from Prime95 stable to not even Spi32M stable. What a window!

 

[designit]

Same here. I tried every which way to pass prime @ 357,356,355,353 MHz 8x multi, no luck.
I even tried 9x multiplier at lower FSB/HTT same speed as 353x8, no luck.
I am thinking we both have reached the CPU's highest limit, and I don?t think has anything to do w/ mobo, or the memory.
At this point I call it a tie since you could do prime @ 57% and I could not, I could do Spi @ 58% and you could not.
Maybe we both need CPU's that can do better @ stock multi, then try the lower multi.
I am expecting to buy a new opteron 146 soon, since I have sold my 146 opteron to my friend in a system built for him(he does not overclock and very happy w/ 40% overclocked system he is buying). Hopefully I get lucky and get a good stepping. Then I will try it in lower multiplier and will see.
In any case, thanks for the duel in this round.
Hope to see you in the next round.
