Super-PI thread REBORN!

Eh. I have a Manchester core X2 3800+ (bought it back in February 06) that I've successfully overclocked to 3000MHz (on air[grin]) with absolutely no stability problems. Supposedly the stepping I got is the best X2 stepping on any model and socket, and people have gotten it up to to 3700MHz with better cooling. The CPU I have is able to clock higher than every other X2 model and stepping, whether socket 939 or AM2. (link so I don't sound like I'm talking out of my ass)

I lowered it to 2700MHz because the temperature was a bit too high for my liking (high 50s under full load). I've gotten much better times than this one, and maybe next time I reboot I'll push it back to what it used to be for a Superpi run.





If I had better RAM my times would be better (it's a mix of some budget crap and some other budget crap, totalling 1.5GB).

Holy crap, 3700MHz? 85% OC, that's amazing.

Anyways, 3000MHz on air is pretty awesome. I got to 2802MHz before my temps started to literally go in the 60s, plus it required 1.65V to get it stable. Oh well, 2.7GHz is fine with me, but thinking that people have managed to get it to 3.7GHz amazes me. Manchesters seem great for overclocking. You know what, they should've done a Super-PI run on that - either that or I'm just missing it.

Lets see how the new laptop fares...



Yay for 2gb of ram!

I think the cpu z program lists all the relevant processor specs.

Yay for being clueless about hardware too!

44 seconds to 1 million. Pentium M 1.7GHz, no OC, with 512 MB of RAM of whose speed I know not.

Here's mine, haven't got around to overclocking it yet, but I'd like to some time soon.

RAM is: 1GB (2x512 dual channel) Crucial BallistiX DDR2 PC2-6400.

This was fun :P

Hmm, it is threads like this that make me realize my P4 3.4Ghz is getting old. Maybe I will have to run it just for kicks...

EDIT: 41 seconds. 1 Gig ram. Not too bad I suppose...

I gots more megahurtz than all u!

luk at my awsum pi calculation score

Oooh, SuperpiYou're gonna make your fortune by and byBut if you lose, don't ask no questions whyThe only game you know is Do or DieAh-ha-ha The game he plays he plays for keepsHustlin' times and ghetto streetsTryin' ta get over(That's what he tryin' to do, y'all)Taking all that he can takeGambling with the odds of fateTryin' ta get over (4x)Woo, Superpi
