3.6GHz Super PI 32M Battle

sup3rfly — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 17:59:36 +0800

Info needed to be qualified in the battle.
1. SuperPi 32M screenshot. Please open 2 CPUZ each showing CPU and Memory info.
2. Only 3.6Ghz clock speed is able to join.
3. Max overMHZage of 9MHz allowed, that's in the case you cant get the exact clock speed of 3600MHz
4. Please include the specs of the mobo (bios version), specs of the memory and the cpu model number.
5. Only use Super PI Mod v1.5xs
6. Please only post results here or related issue here, dont spam here

Software downloads:
Super PI Mod v1.5xs - http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/super_pi_mod-1.5.zip
CPUZ - http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

I will post my result as the sample, please follow the format

For the time being I only aim for Intel Core 2 systems. If there is demand i will add AMD as well
So lets start the battle guys

Mission Determination of New King of Air Cooling

sup3rfly — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:49:10 +0800

Test Bed:
Processor: Intel C2D E6700 L628A303 @ 3.2GHz @ 1.4 Vcore
Mobo: DFI Dark Infinity P965s
Memory: 2 x 1GB Team Xtreem Micron D9GMH DDR2 Special OPB Edition
Graphic Card: XFX 6600 GT
PSU: FSP Fortron Epsilon FX700-GLN PSU
HDD: Maxtor 20GB IDE 5400 RPM Hard Drive

Contenders:
1. Noctua NH-U12F
2. TR Ultra-120 eXtreme
3. Xigmatek HDT S1283

Software Used:
Coretemp 0.94
Orthos Beta
Windows XP SP2

Test Method:
1. This time I have gotten myself a temperature probe to measure the ambient temperature and we found out that the ambient actually fluctuating a lot. The result will include the ambient temperature as well for better judgment. The result might not be 100% accurate as it might be affected by the mounting method, temperature fluctuations and user error.

2. The Fan speed is kept at the speed of 1600 rpm as the main objective of this test is to find out the best heatsink that can be operate in silent mode.

3. The Idle Temperature is measured after the system left open for 5 minutes and the Load Temperature is measured after 10 minutes of Orthos Stress. Coretemp 0.94 was used to get the value of the temperature for each of the criteria, idle and load.

4. This test will be a open bench like what we did on the first roundup, TIM that is used is Arctic Ceramique also as it doesn't need any curing duration. This time the amount of TIM that I applied will be slightly more as many forumer mention that the amount that I applied is too little.

5. I have slightly modded the mouunting mechanism, its the same as the water cooling mounting mechanism.

5. The mounting mechanism that will be used in this roundup will be the original mounting mechanism.

Disclaimer:
This roundup is only conducted to show how is the new heatsinks in the market perform under the power hungry cpu and to help some folks to decide which heatsink they should get. The result is vary and subjective, the same heatsink used might work fine on your rig but not on mine. So please dont flame me when the heatsink doesnt work on what u expected

Intel P965 or P975 chipset

sup3rfly — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:44:29 +0800

Hello guys need some opinion here.... as u guys know that P965 can hit higher FSB than P975.... IMO i find that P975 is cater for X6800 or some ES chips as they can up the multiplier to reach high clock speed to compensate the disadvantage of being hitting lower fsb than P965s.... for E6700 and below shd be using P965 because P965 is well known in hitting sky high FSB so that we can get high clock speed as the multiplier is not adjustable....
performance wise all the P975 owner says that its perform better than P965 even they are OCed at the same clock speed.... for this i m not quite sure.... all the sifus plz give some opinion...
BTW the list of mobo that i m interested in is...

i think i got u guys confused... my main motive is asking opinion on the chipset... not which mobo to get yet... the mobo list removed due to the confusion

thanks in advance

Test Method:
1. The ambient temperature is set at 23�C but the result might not be 100% accurate as it might be affected by the mounting method, temperature fluctuations and user error.

2. The Fan speed is kept at the speed of 1600 rpm as the main opbejective of this test is to find out the best heatsink that can be operate in silent mode.

3. The Idle Temperature is measured after the system left open for 5 minutes and the Load Temperature is measured after 10 minutes of Orthos Stress. Everest Ultimate Edition 2006 was used to get the value of the temperature for each of the criteria, idle and load.
