question about overclocking suicide runs...for superpi

[jseber1982]

So for the system to be as stable as possible.. I am assuming that you go down to 1 stick of ram and disable all except 1 core right? Less stuff to be unstable

 

[CrazeD]

Mmm, disabling cores may help...

Though taking one stick of RAM might adversely affect performance.

 

[jseber1982]

yea it might effect performance if you are talking duel channel memory... But as far as cranking up the memory speed... less change of failure if there is half the hardware

I know one core is usually stronger than the other but I haven't heard or seen anyone running w/ just one stick.

i used to run pi with 1 stick of ram.. i'm not too sure if pi can take advantage of dual channel.. i will have to do some testing for myself

will do so tonite

hopefully can get some 4.0ghz runs.. but this stupid northbridge runs hotter than ****

grrrrr i keep trying to get away from overclocking and i keep falling back into it lol...such an addiction trying to squeeze every hert out of the cpu

 

[NosBoost300]

no doubt, i know the feeling too well....

i'll keep you updated tonite.. i'm at work,

lol, I know what you mean.

I keep telling myself, "you've already hit your wall on your suicide run", but every now and then I try to break that wall.

lol.. so i didnt do what i said i'd do last night.. i was too busy figuring out what to buy.. lol

We just moved into a new house, the my machines are no longer in the basement... sound isnt an issue, my machine overheatin isnt an issue..... my machines overheat the room now lol.

My daughter last night.... daddy why is it so hot in here?
