Is it hard to code it?

What generally causes pifast to not work? All other benches seem to work, but pifast doesn't. It starts step 6, then just skips to the end; so it doesn't actually do it. No BSOD either, just doesn't do it's run. I'm clocking an E5200 on my DFI LP UT P35 T2R. What's weird is when clocking on my Gigabyte with other chips, wprime is the first benchmark to fail, before pifast. I've tried tweaking multiple different voltages, but nothing seems to work. But at the same time, everything else that i run seems to be very stable.I'm pretty confused at this point.

Yes. It just seems to be the most finnicky/unstable of the 3 major 2d benches. Dropping clocks, or raising core voltage helps. But i feel it should do it at the same volts as wprime, as i have always seen that as the hardest running of the 3. Wprime bsod's me alot if i don't have the right settings, but pifast just stops working, but not crash. One time though i did just run it like 10 times, and miraculously it did run once; but all the other times it just stopped short.

Congrats!

Oh ho ho.... Starting the rebuild with the E762.

Great job Rabid! Missed that the first time. Hope to get pics up sometime soon.

Oh I'm not rushing it too much, might go ahead and get a few fittings from sidewinders sometime, may have to get the iandh res clamps for my BP tube res. Looks like my previous clamp/res setup won't work with the E762 since it's a bit wider than my E758.

The E762 Nb/Sb can get really hot depending on your overclock, I've seen mine hit 85c pretty easy. I removed the stock 40mm fan and replaced it with an 80mm plus better paste helped my temps about 10c.

I'd be more worried about a Nb/Sb waterblock than fittings, last time I checked it was $140 @ performance-Pc.
I put some dryice on my heatsink when I'm benching heavy 3d benchmarks so I haven't gotten the block.

@Threedhero, when I said clamps I meant the clamps holding my BP tube res, I use compression fittings.
 
Also thanks for the tip about the fans, I'm actually ordering a couple 40s and a couple 60s soon. Ordered a bunch of badly needed extensions tonight so that should be nice.

Bclk testing...
 

Will do thanks!

Wait till you see UEFI bios Nate

No I don't have any Sandy bridge stuff just reviews online and after watching Msi MOA the Big Bang Marshal is pretty much pound in my head. I'm think about on waiting the x68, it will be hard to stand out when most everyone is able to do 5ghz+ on air. Hope the newer CPU's released later won't have cold slow bugs. Or if someone is able to work away around the 5.5ghz cap on the 2600k. At this rate Hwbot could turn out to be a GPU game. Unless you have a $1000 980x...
I jumped the gun on the x58 release and needed to upgrade down road, huge waste of money I won't be doing that this time.

Hmm Threed when I used those settings for the signals it would only boot about half the time and the mouse would lock up a lot when it did boot... IOH voltage maybe? I've just got them all back at 0 for now.

Try these signal settings. Helped with my overall OC

Man, its been MONTHS since I have seen a bios screen!  Been to busy in the basement.

LOL, don't worry about it Nate, I'm still using my trusty 759 classy.  You know what that looks like.  Now that I think about it, I've been using the same mobo and memory for close to two years now.
