680i chipsets is still awesome >> powering on the quad core era >> XFX 680i vs. Q6600

well then... dinos H20 time

how about single strage time

By dinos22

well i guess it's a departmental thing

Probably more an experience thing.
If you had big numbers on your own video cards it might woo them

No offence Dinos but the wprime times are slower than My commando ..
with a Q6600 B3 and same Overclock..

i thought Commando was a slow board compared to all the P35 motherboards out nowdays.
sp 680i slower than P35 as well ??

Cheers Hori

Edit here is a sample dinos ...

yeah they are not tweaked yet

lol T_M i don't think you know how the nuts and bolts operate with some of these bigger players just yet

Ojk Fair enuff Dinos ..4ghz and mem speed look tweaked to me eheh
Nice Oc

[dinos22]

nah this ram's stock speed is 625MHz at those timings

if you have some advice on tweaks you'd like to share i'm always open to suggestions particularly benchmarks i have little experience in
i know the usual tweaks that will help but if there is something that you'd particularly like to stress break a leg :

oh btw commando is one of the fastest boards around

every benchmark i do i try to experiment to see what the sweetspots are

680i is not very strong in RAM performance unfortunately but with a lot of tweaking and ram capable of 600+ 4-3-3-x or high 1T timings that can be overcome but i don't know what impacts performance more bandwith or tight timings ...... anyways i am probably not going to have much time atm with some more important family things going down

best tweak i can suggest for wprime is heaps vcore and max possible Oclock for 32Mb run..last about 10 seconds so u wont kill much ehe

1024 Mb run i usually Back of Vcore to 1.55 Max maybe 1.6v if out in the cold And settle for around 400Mhz lower than the 32Mb run..usually makes it with all chips if i do this

pifast and Super Pi Highest possible Oc and max vcore to make it throught the 30 seconds of pain...usually tad lower vcore than Wprime as they last 20-30 seconds.

Max mem speed for all not so much on timings just memory MHZ

Spi im hopless at i cant even come close to evas scores..prolly due to the fact i couldnt be bothered or dont know how to tweak windows properly...

Cheers Hori

Dino, what temps were you getting when running WPrime?
