Super Pi 1M Records

[mnelson07]

Just received and assembled everything yesterday; overclocked to 3.0GHz immediately. I only ran Orthos for about 2.5 hours though. What is the best setting to stress the computer on with Orthos (and how long-6 hours)? There are a bunch of options in the drop down menu. Seems like blend is the best since it tests both the processor and RAM.

I have Prime95 as well but I'm not sure how to run it exactly, I'm new to overclocking.

*edit*
And the Core Temp program seems to be off. I booted in BIOS and saw 20*C unless it decided to jump 10+ between then and the OS load.

Large FFT's, maximum heat and load, it'll stress your cpu like no other

How long is optimal?

*edit*
Also I went up to 3.2GHz only to get the BSOD soon after logging into windows.
I'm still at stock voltage, should I up it a tad?

8 hours is good enough, for stability.

Since you're still at stock voltage, just up it to the next higher notch.

For my 3.0GHz or when I do 3.2GHz?

lol lets see.. a 850watt pc power and cooling psu, x1900 crossfire edition, x1950, conroe mobo.... lmao atari 2600 with 120 games, x6800, this cpu....could get some money for them

eh i think my overclocking days are over for a long time. I think it is sort of a waste of money at this point. I am not gunna upgrade anything for another year or so.. not worth spendin that much just for a few fps and bragging rights. i am happy with a quad 4.7.

its just so hard to resist the temptation to tweak and buy. I will prolly just be a nice guy and use it for christmas money. i know i am gunna buy me an xbox360,, wife wants a coach purse,,, which will friggin cost more than my xbox.

so i guess my overclocking days are officially over. lol.

I used to spend lots of time on here while at work. Now i work in a classified environment, so lol i do have an unclassed box... but we have a very nasty infosec team... us sysadmins dont get along with them

You said it was BSODing at 3.2GHz, but I suggest getting it 8 hours stable with 3.0GHz first, before you go any further. So yes, up the voltage for 3.0GHz. Just up it one notch.

hey jseber, you wouldn't perhaps be interested in giving that x1900 crossfire a new home would ya

Hrmm I see the cache and or extra cores make my E6300 sub-par in this category. Even at my speed my Super PI is still only 16.2 seconds heh.

Oh well I still get a CPU score of 3120 in 3Dmark06 so my E6300 is still kicking arse for what I payed for it.....god I love my board

of course you do.. can i see your SuperPI pic... and like what voltage's did you use to get 3600mhz
