What are your stable 8.5x400 vcores and mem settings?

Mine are:
266/667 MHz Strap
CPU Vcc=1.12500
NB Core=1.370
CPU VTT=1.310
GTL's disabled

Interesting... on an unrelated topic, have you had your X3360 above 8.5x400 stable? I've been trying a modest 8.5x425 but with no luck passing p95. What are you full hardware specs?

Got bored yesterday, so I ran checked out the power consumption of my X3360 system for shits and giggles with my kill-a-watt.

I edited the first post switching the highest 400 MHz FSB run from 5:6 to 4:5 (960 MHz vs. 1,000 MHz) and included some info about subtimings to make things more clear.

About 7 months ago I posted data comparing two memory dividers (1:1 and 3:5 @ 333 MHz) on my then Q6600/P965 based system and concluded that for the 67 % increase in memory bandwidth, the marginal...

Version 1.6.1 is up. Totally re-wrote the section on memory which now includes a discussion on both DDR2/DDR3 and formulas you can use to calculate max supported FSB of a given module based on it's...

You're welcome... be prepared to run for a good 24 h to verify stability... crank up that a/c :)

65 °C is no big deal for a G0 Q6600 dude...

Honestly, even 10x333 is plenty for any game today (even crysis). So there isn't a whole lot you can do to keep it quicker in that regard.

As to your FSB concerns... my P35 board only officially...

Guide is now version 1.6

• Added a detailed section to help you find the minimum stable CPU and MB vcore settings. Check it out (near the bottom of the guide entitled, “Stress Testing and...

Well, guys I wrote up this procedure I used to minimize my vcores on my new x3360/P35-based system, and I thought I'd share it with folks. It's a systematic method anyone can use to arrive at a...

@burebista - right you are. If you look at my screenshot, it is actually memtest+, I just left the plus off the link by mistake. Added now, thanks.

Version is now 1.5.2 (updates in first post)

Hmm.. that doesn't sound like a very rousing endorsement! Maybe I'll just stick with what I have.

Excellent, I assumed that was the case. So what do you think of Vista? I haven't used it. As far as I can tell, it's a new UI and DX10. Beyond that... ??? Anything you really like about it? ...

Yeah 1-2 % is what I've been seeing. Here is a result from the older SDTV benchmark that shows the same trend:

@madmat - thanks for the results... is that vista 32 or 64?

Thanks for the data, guys!



I used a high priority to ensure the max CPU cycles for the encoder.

What did you mean when you said you had to download the gnu encoding software manually? Do...

Cool man, added and will update soon.

Techarp is hosting a new HD x264 benchmark. Have a look and run it on your system to help populate the data table.

Basically, you run the test encode of an HD sample (1280x720) and it will...

Updates made.

Well, the FSB in that thread was fixed, the only variable was the divider unless I'm missing your questions. This is the thread I'm talking about, not the one about different multipliers.

Anyway,...

@nightwolf - True, but HWMonitor is better to me since it doesn't have an installer, just unrar and away you go.

@farfromhome - Have a look at the end of the guide.. there's a link to a thread on...

First off, thanks to all who contributed data.

24-Feb-2008 - Finally updated the data tables on the x264 benchmark page. They are now html based (not .gif images) which makes my life updating...

HP cooling?

Updated the tables with another 45 nm chip: the QX9650 -- both at stock levels and @ overclocked to 4.2 GHz! With it, and the others (Xeon E5330 (Dual board), Q9550, and Q9350) there is now data on...
