Thanks bro. I'm not getting a tri core anymore ordered a dual core so i may get a tri if they come out in 45nm if price is right.

the 4850, you saw what I posted in the other thread though?

Moose · Nov 9, 2008

I suppose the top single core cpus may do well in the pi test then lol.

Not better than dual cores. Dual cores perform the best in super pi.

i hate to disagree with you bro but not true all the time. I had a Single core Semperon @3.2ghz
that was only out performed by the high end dual cores. So if you had a single core that could clock really high then it would be better. BUT most of the time a dual will do just as good as a single core

In general dual cores do best.

ok i will agree with you there :toast:

it is hard to find a single core that will out perform a dual core when there both clocked.

yeah. Just for the heck of it.

Comparison.

Single core phenom against dual core same exact settings. Looks like the Phenom is slightly quicker on two cores than one in super pi

p_o_s_pc · Nov 9, 2008

They both are 1 core. but ok maybe with the Phenom it isn't true anymore. but with the Anthlon it was

Moose · Nov 9, 2008

The only reason dual core does better is probably all other process run on the other core so they dont impede pi, whereas on a single core they get in the way and use up cpu.

something very interesting

Hey mark you mind posting a pic of it in here for everybody else???

Chicken Patty · Nov 10, 2008

server, I was trying a higher FSB the other day but the damn 0504 bios was retarded. DIdnt let me change my RAM settings to manual in the bios so I wasnt able to.

Now I am back on the 0403 bios and I will be playing with the fsb a bit. See what I can yield out of it

Meizuman · Nov 10, 2008

Any suggestions for the memory issue?

Here's a screenshot of my current settings.

excuse my noobness, but whats the issue with the mem?

Chicken Patty · Nov 10, 2008

Meizuman

I believe your issue was that you could not get the RAM to run at 1066 right?

Also, let me ask you, can you please link us to the screenshot of the bios again, especially the part of the bios that has the memory settings, please thank you.

Meizuman · Nov 10, 2008

super Pi testing: :cool:

@Chicken Patty the bit-tech review has screenshots of the bios. But I don't have any screenshots @ bios. Why do you need them anyway? :wtf:

I have tried 1066 with the 5-5-5-15 and other values set according to SPD, voltage 2,2V and also 2,23V. I could try loosen up the timings but still, they are guaranteed to work with the spec'd timings so I woudn't be too keen to loosen them...

This mobo should really get a new Bios update, it has many problems when booting.

I have messed XP up two times. Only because I tried to run with higher NB speed and HT ref. freq. I dont know if avast has something to do with it. Both times I had to run chkdsk /r and uninstall avast in order to get windows to work. The problem occured when I upped the HT ref. freq. (don't like calling it FSB because it isn't :mad:

) So during XP boot, it just rebooted few times, when I finally got to desktop, it was slower than anything, avast woudn't start, cpu-z had some driver issue, didn't show any info. One time I left it there about half an hour or more, when I got back, it was running ok. Then I uninstalled Avast and ran chkdsk /r... it found some problems and fixed them.

Hey guys is the new BIOS worth it? Should I update?

bro first off, thats a great run in super pi. 2nd its a mystery why you cant run your ram stable at 1066. I have avast on my computer and it works flawless. I think your motherboard just needs to mature a bit. Maybe with the next BIOS update it'll fix a lot of issues.

dude, I didn't like it. I had issues when raising the FSB, it was not stable. Even raising the FSB from 200 to 201 It wouldn't post. Also I could not set the RAM specs to manual or it would not post either. It sucked, I am on the 0403 BIOS now.

Hi guys here my 24/7 overclock clocks (9850BE) i'am running vista-64 bit overclocks are not as good as the 32-bit OS.In the testing i done on 1066 2000 NB 2000 NT vs.1000 2500 NB 2500 HT at the same clock speed 3.0ghz the men.running at 1000 mhz & 2500 NB/NT link speed is 300 points highter in 3dmark-06 than just running 1066 men. @ 2000 NB/NT link speed .It looking to me you still would have to over clock the 1066 highter to bring the NB/HT link speed up just to get even with men. running @ 1000 2500 NB/HT link set-up . For me i can not over clock my men. when running 1066 hight enought to be able to beat out the men. running @ 1000 2500 BN/HT link speed .So i been staying with men. @1000 2500 NB/HT link speed that has work the best for me .

Chicken Patty · Nov 11, 2008

^^^ congrats merrk. I saw on XS that your rig runs better at DDR 2 1000 than at 1066 with a higher ht. I am trying different set ups with my ram and FSB now. For now I think its going well. I ll post some results when I get to where I want
