Big difference in TC between the 1st & 2nd even though there is only a .2ghz diff, & the day between them would not make up the large gap. ID: 677914 ·

I just want one too. Quick and dirty speed comparison of you rig show this: ---------------------------------------- 4500 mhz Pen = 3500 secs 54.33 creds 3942 Mhz Q = 4360 secs 54.32 creds 14% higher clockspeed 24% faster crunchspeed 4500 Mhz pen = 3100 secs 64 creds 3942 Mhz q = 3845 secs 64 creds 14% higher clockspeed 24% higher crunchspeed ----------------------------------------- Well congrats to your new speedrig Mark! If i multiply your Q RAC of around 4800 creds/24H with the new cpu you should land around 5800 creds/24H with the new one at present speed. //Vyper _________________________________________________________________________ Addicted to SETI crunching!

You can add me to the list...... hehehehehe!!! Congratulations! I wondered how many billion nanoseconds it would take before you cracked under the strain! Now you have your hobby time well and truly booked up for a little while... I'm curious too.. perhaps you might hit 5+G with a bit more tweaking. I'll post the new list again in a couple of days. Keep a log of what you do, and put a guide together - perhaps you could recover the cost of the chip by providing an interesting article on overclocking for one or some of the big technology sites. Well done! :-) ID: 682275 ·

Bumped the vcore one notch this morning before I left for work. It seemed to get rid of the computation errors I was getting, but 1 core was locked up tonight when I got home. Just bumped the vcore one more notch, now at 1.55vcore at the cpu. We'll see if that holds. I gotta spend the next hour or so trying to get my daily driver back in operation after the cpu socket failure when I tried to change cpus. I will be watching the Pack take on the Lions tomorrow.

I'm an outsider now, and have no idea how rapidly your transistors are shifting characteristics with that high a supply voltage, other than it is far faster than at spec. While it lasts, it sure is fast: Here is a comparison of execution time vs. angle range for results processed by the same host ID (3685026) when it was a Q6600 Conroe Quad running about 3.942 GHz vs. the current Penryn Quad X9650 running at several frequencies, but mostly, I think at 4.600 GHz The Q6600 samples are not a very extensive set of data--just the ones still reporting on the web page as of earlier today. Still, I think this gives a bit firmer picture than a single point comparison. ID: 682394 ·

Here is a fresh graph, which shows you catching a little bit of higher angle range easy credit stuff: In this version I explicitly required the 4600 speed text in the report for you Penryn-generation quad. I assumed all results still displaying on the web page from its predecessor were actually running at 3960, though the application had some trouble reporting that (see the same on my Conroes). The 4600 restriction may be helpful if you make changes. At the moment, it just excluded one that reported 4510. ID: 682603 ·

Just tried 4700, but no go, and I gotta go watch the Packer game and stuff myself with turkey. So it will not report any more results until I get back late tonight to hit the update button again.
