TPU's F@H Team

im going to run sci.mark.. i bet I score under 1000, lol..

I'm going to try to increase my memory bandwidth, does more bandwith perform better with F@H, than raw GHz?

I don't know for sure, but I would say they both play a part...

(Especially the circuit of memory-to-FSB-to-CPU & vice-a-versa transit loop... DMA access &/or AMD HyperTransport/LDT, notwithstanding either imo @ least)



* Matters more than you would think over CPU alone...

W2hCYK - HOLD OFF ON WEEKLY UPDATE FOR A BIT, see my post

Give me 10-15 minutes from the timestamp on this post on my last edit @ the bottom of it (that last unit should be done then in time for your Wed. update)...

881 with my current. Time to tweak, bb in like 20 mins with an update

Finishing up my last unit for this week!

(98% now (as of this edit))

That will be my "100th unit" too!

(Well, not really - 21 or so are PURE b.s., result of my "infamous" overclock error in combination w/ the "-forceasm" console mode client switchwork I use... ugh, that COST me large in the "score" area, the one I am MOST concerned about no less!)

Still, it will send me into the 9000's range of score too... not enough to catch YOU though this week... oh well!

Anyhow/anyways:

I got "caught up" in the overclocking & memory re-tightenings game, per the screenshots above... all as a result of doing the "ScienceMark 2.0" benchmark testings this week!

(I haven't run units for F@H very much @ all, except for when I sleep, & that too, was overlooked once or twice this week!)



* I KNOW: "Excuses, excuses" on my end, but it's all 100% straight-up facts, documented herein...

SO, that said?

WELL - We'll be coming @ you ALL this week though, trying to take over 3rd place here from you again, my man!

APK

P.S.=> And, @ higher o/c'd rates than ever before here, lol... coming at ya baby! apk

I've devoted my superclocked P4 to the cause Rock on TPU!

 

[Alec§taar]

Update away W2hCYK! Got my "100" units done here...

W2hCYK:

Update the first page as you see fit!

(I am all done "cooking" unit "100" here (loosely termed 100, more like 80 actually & you KNOW why, lol!))

Should show 100 for me by now I would think on the team output page... Well, no it doesn't yet, oddly! Must be some "time lag" in there before it too, updates!

Oh well! Anyhow... (EDIT PART - team page is updated, shows me @ 100 now & 9000 scoring range too - UPDATE AWAY MAN!)



InfraRed!

(Cool... )

* Good to see you as a mod are joining the fold & w/ the rig you "jacked up" via that WILD volt-mod thing you did (VDroop stuff you wrote me on in PM)!

I scored 985.67 now, went from 3.15GHz to 3.3GHz, and now a 1:1 ratio with my ram.. best I can do, and I'm putting 1.53v through this prescott.. argh.. trying to deal with this till the conroe! :-D

Cooking up some more units!

*edit, oh and btw, stats update now finished.

That's QUITE a jump, scoring-wise, on ScienceMark (from 881 -> 986 on your end) & @ a 1:1 non-divider using memory setup (I have to get better RAM, no questions asked, imo & those of others - it holds me down from better o/c's).

Here is mine for your reference:

My latest score & stability (via ScienceMark 2.0) is as follows, having switched from using an 11x multiplier X 249mhz FSB to 12x multiplier X 231mhz FSB):

CPU-z 1.35 CPU-mhz data (~2773mhz - a 373mhz overdriven gain):

CPU-z 1.35 RAM-mhz data (~185/200mhz - a "ROI" of 93%):

(This is w/ out setting my BIOS memory setting of RAS Precharge to 2, it is still 3 here but I used the older photo of it when I had it @ 2T for a test of what memory settings I can/could play with to try "tighten" them some more still yet)

ScienceMark 2.0 score (increased from 1392 -> 1401.11 (my highest yet on 12x multiplier thusfar, & even almost beating my old mark of 1401.20 done on 11.5x "fractional" & frowned upon multipliers + higher FSB @ 249mhz)):

My BIOS data for overclocking used:

LDT DATA:

CPU HTT Frequency = 4x

DRAM CONFIGURATION:

CAS# Latency Tcl = 2
Min RAS# Active Time Tras = 5T
RAS# to CAS# Delay Trcl = 3T
Row Precharge Time Trp = 3T
Row Cycle Time Trc = 10T
Row Refresh Cycle Time Trk = 13T
Read to Write Trwt = 3T
Write Recovery Time = 3T
1t/2t = 1t

JUMPER FREE CONFIGURATION DATA:

O/C Profile = Manual
CPU Frequency = 231mhz
PCI Clock = 100mhz
DDR Voltage = AUTO (cannot do over 2.6v on my RAM, tried it already 2x)
Chipset Voltage = 1.6V (max)
HT Voltage = 1.25V (max)
CPU Mult = 12x
CPU Volt = 1.5V (max)



That is about as good as I can get it...

Cooking up some more units!

That's the spirit! We now have new members too, in InfraRed, which is good to see as well & he's using his "VDroop" modded system no less (pretty cool stuff, have him run that by you, & see some WILD hardware modding in action)!

*edit, oh and btw, stats update now finished.

Yup! Caught it... ugh, now it's time for coffee... I need the "mental overclock" today, couldn't sleep in this muggy heatwave!

you seem to be messed again, 131 units? how?!?! you were at 100 just 2 days ago.. lower that OC...

 

[Alec§taar]

Yup, I "hung up" again in "hibernate" type power mode & couldn't recover... it's been hot here lately & I "pushed" a new overclock (noted above @ 12x multiplier now vs. 11x) & it wouldn't come back.

"-forceasm" again probably... all my other stuff never has a problem & the system stays up & running solid (even games for long hauls like 45 minutes or more (typically how long I stay @ them nowadays)).

* It's noted (as you pointed out) NOT to use that w/ an overclocked rig, & it's showing here...

(OH WELL!)

[W2hCYK]

ordered a P4 1.6GHz and a Celeron 1.8GHz, both 478's. If neither overclock like a banshee, I'm going to toss them into seperate folding rigs. otherwise, if it overclocks like mad, I will use it till it blows, and then use as a keychain.

$5 each too!

going to overclock the 1.8GHz celeron first... SL68D

My Motherboard goes all the way to 1.95v for the CPU, ROFL!!! But that only is a .20 overvolt maximum, unlike the newer cpu's that you can take up the voltage to like.. a .65v increase. I may do some VID mods. So I should have a bit of fun. I think I'm going to remove the IHS's for a better cooling solution also. I dont think either of these are epoxied on, correct?

 

[W2hCYK]

Overclocked the 1.6GHz P4, got 2009MHz on 1.95v, loool.. board was overvolting up to 2.1v... ROFL... never had a cpu that could take that voltage. and my temps were 25c on air cooling, Ambient was 28!!! LOOOOL

I ordered a E6600 from www.tankguys.com They have wonderful customer service, and they e-mailed me with a time estimate of the week of the 15th of august for arrival. I dont have any other hardware yet, so Im not in a rush to get it now. At the end of the summer(4 weeks for me) I'll have another $600, which i'm going to spend on my 2 hard drives, PSU, Motherboard, and some cheap ram to get me going.

Then for my bday I'll get whatever card is $400 at the time from my parents and bday cards in the mail/some of my pocket money, and usually my grandparents are very generous and give $500, so I'll probably get my RAM and a watercooling rig..

I am so excited!!! ROFL..

Ok back to folding now.

O yea, the crappy celeron comes in today @ 3pm.. lol.. 1.8GHz 1.75v.. I should try some weird cooling on one of these. $5 a piece is amazing. :-D

wahey! The stats updated and i'm on the list

[FLY3R]

Only 18 people Folding, Come on Guys, TPU can do better than that.

I should be adding another two soon. Plus bringing a couple back online.

Official stats update..

should we have a F@H subforum? Everyone who thinks so, pm w1z! lol.. or vote in the thread posted in this forum.

i love the fact that i went from nothing to 6th in like a month. now i need to just borg the school networks...

 

[wazzledoozle]

I am going to set up my server to fold tomorrow.

Lmao, yeah Having 600+ Celeron 2.8ghz rigs folding would kick ass!

OH, I agree...

Especially after seeing the power-ranges of many of the systems folks use here, in this thread (see the score chart, get an idea of what I mean):

600+ 2.8 celerons?

my school network has over 400 presscot 3.2ghz systems and 75 rack servers. i should go tell them about F@H. well with one req. they borg under team 50711!!
