Unigine leaderboards down for anyone else?

Yes, it's down.

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen!
 
My room is rather hot, about 80F, my CPU package is usually at 43C at idle.... yeah, I know....  Most of the cores are in the mid 30s though.  I use a H115i with 4 fans running at 780 rpm.  I am currently using 1.325 V at 4.3.  I was trying to run at 1.35 at 4.4, but Timespy crashed with those settings, as in, solid freeze followed by a blue screen.  I am using a Samsung Power Profile enabled in Power Options in control panel which keeps this thing on a steady diet of the manually set, non adaptive 1.325 V.  Not sure if I should try adaptive or not.
 

You should be using adaptive when overclocking your CPU it will allow your CPU to down clock when the load decreases. Your temps will also decrease. If you are overclocking cashe you will have to use offset voltage for this and overclocking cashe will also increase temps. With lock ups and recovery blue screens you usually need more voltage. Try setting your OC down to 4.2 and see if this helps. If it boots and runs a stress test ok than you need more core voltage for the higher 4.3 clock. Also what is your max temperature? You could be locking up due to high temps.
 

I tried adapative and yes, it did lower my temps, but it was rather unhappy even running benchmarks.  I am not quite sure what settings I should use along with the adaptive.  I am also not very versed with overclocking cache and using offsets.  After a while I just let the motherboard do it's beginners overclock which reset the settings back to default (didn't want to hit the Default button since I am using Raid 0 and I was afraid it might kill my array).  With everything back to stock settings, I set it to just 4.2 ghz and used 1.30V using the manual setting.  I played Forza Horizon 3 for a good 3 hours with no issues (it was one of the problem games), the moved over to Witcher 3 which crashed after about an hour.  Temps were in the 50 to 60C range, so nothing crazy here.  This CPU, as far as I can tell, has never hit 80C.  The next day I came back and set the voltage to 1.31 and then played Witcher 3 without issue for 2.5 hours.  So this is where I stand now.  I need to find a good tutorial on how to use adaptive voltage when overclocking.
 
Thanks for the info!

Just finished downloading this and the download is corrupt got to start over. 

Card at stock clocks, drivers at default install, just ran the default test.

11239 on the leaderboards. Mine went up a bit too. 

I did another run last night! 11239 I had to save the file since the site was still down....I have a few more tweaks for my final try. I would like to get over 11300 without making the card colder.  
Buy the way nice score 11097!

Thanks. I see you increased your score again. I did too.
 
I now have the fastest NVIDIA TITAN X (GP102) on 4k Optimized preset now. I also took the #4 spot. 

Finally figured out the Nvidia driver tweaks. This is more like the run I was expecting with these temps.

Nvidia driver tweaks? Do share please...

VALLEY GUIDE:
1) Right click on your desktop to bring up the NVIDIA control panel, and click on “Manage 3D Settings.” Click the Program Settings tab, then the drop down box to choose Valley. If you don’t see it you can click the Add button for Unigine Engine, or Browse for Valley.exe which is in C>Program files (x86)>Unigine>Valley>bin. Change the following four items, then click Apply.
> Muti-display/mixed-GPU acceleration change to Single display performance mode
> Power management mode change to Prefer maximum performance
> Texture filtering – Quality change to High performance
> Vertical sync changed to off
Your page should now look like this:



2) Now click on “Adjust image settings with preview” in the control panel. Click the “Use my preference emphasizing:” button and change the slider to Performance, then click Apply. Your page should now look like this:


You can now close the control panel.

Thanks, I would like to squeeze about 50 more on 1080P Extreme. Any suggestions? I would appreciate it very much....

I see you're running a older driver. Might want to try the latest driver.

Sorry, I missed your post. Here is a great link to overclock your machine: [link=http://edgeup.asus.com/2016/06/17/broadwell-e-overclocking-guide/]http://edgeup.asus.com/20...-e-overclocking-guide/ You need to get away from using manual overclocking. If used for 24/7 OC it could degrade the performance of your CPU it's ok for bench marking short runs. Members here will be able to help with any questions you may have about the OC guide.

After the benchmark, I just realized how bad game optimizations are these days. The benchmark scene looks beautiful!
 

Nice Score!
