I've been trying to tweak my system and increase my OC. I can easily get to 4.34 but my GFlops is not going up much. So the question is, I had been running my uncore on auto, but switched it ti X17 and now I'm thinking that was an error. Should I bump it up of take it back to auto?

w00t! And this was on the SECOND try (only got ONE x104 BSOD for too little VCore) after I got my X58 Classy! I guess it really was my vanilla X58 SLi that was the weak link. Muahahaha! Suck it v1ral! (j/k, congrats on finally making it too)... now all I need to do is tweak it to get the voltages and temps down.

When are you going to submit a stability test z3r0?
 
mistermister, welcome to the club.

I must say that I agree with Sabishii Hito on this one. The whole idea of this thread was 4.2 stable, no? No mention on raising your Gflops by tweaking your memory and uncore. Just my .02 worth.

I guess. Not trying to start any trouble here. LOL

My .02 is he is not using the latest linpack binaries. Look at Quattro's submitted stability test. He has almost identical settings as Sabishi Hito and his GFlop speeds are in the mid 80's.

 
Can't see his memory or uncore speeds.  I'm 100% sure they're both higher than I had them set for.  I was using the latest LinX download from page 1.

Well perhaps you should add that requirement to the rules because there's nothing on page one that mentions a minimum gflops level.

I've stated several times that I was using the latest binaries...

1.446 Vcore?  Ouch that is a ton!

My 930 can hits 4.2 with just 1.36.

 
Yea, I know. Odd thing is that I was getting BSOD's asking for more VCore @ 1.45 w/ VDroop on. NOw granted I didnt bother doing a single thing to fine tune after this run (I will do that today), however from the countless hours I spent trying to get 4.2 on my old X58 board I can attest that my 930 requires a retarded amount of Vcore at anything over 4.0GHz.
 
Any suggestions are welcome.
 
 

I am not trying to start anything with you Kram, but I have noticed in the requirements page that it says 2.64 does not support the new binaries. Then when I download it and install from your link it stays 2.64 and the folder says (blah blah binaries). Then when I open up LinX it shows up just like it would if I had never downloaded it. I just want to point that out. Seriously this is not here to start an arguement.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here? There is no installation to the LinX download on the 1st page. You simply unzip the downloaded file and execute the linx.exe file. The binaries used in the download from the 1st page will indeed run the Gulftown cpu's at max stressing and will produce a much higher GFlop speed as a result.

I was merely trying to say to some people this can be confusin because once you open LinX it doesn't show you that you are using the new binaries. I know exactly what I am looking for, but some people are not going to know that the GFLops should be higher. Honestly, I wasn't trying to cause trouble I have just noticed this being the main problem with people's submissions.

and I believe you are mistaken on that. Get it fixed, you're not getting on the list with those GFlop speeds.

 
+1 Keepem honest... lol

Kram, Gflops suffer when the QPI and CPU PLL need adjustment. I got 49 at times at 4.1GHz, and it was with the newest binaries. My Gflops were fixed by tweaking my QPI PLL to 1.3V, and CPU PLL to 2.0V. Please don't assume just bc the Gflops are low that it is old binaries. It is not fair to other ppl.

At Bclock 203, my Gflops ranged from 48.3 to 51.8 by merely adjusting my QPI PLL.

You're also running an Bloomfield cpu. It would be expected for that cpu to spit out a lower GFlop speed then a Gulftown. He is not getting on the list with a Gulftown at 4.4Ghz running high 50's and low 60's on the GFlop. He is obviously not running with the latest binaries that take advantage of the extra cores on the Gulftown that stress out the cpu more.

Guys please understand Kram on this. He is trying to keep people honest. The gflop is an indicator of how fast the cpu runs. Granted that there are many factors affecting the end result beyond the core frequency, numbers which are so grossly lower than what the rest of us are getting is just an indicator that something is wrong.
