F@H - New profiles must be made for the competition "AMD-MrStrawberry" Results will be taken for the best single whole day.

1st place bench = 5 points

2nd place bench = 4 points

3rd place bench = 3 points

4th place bench = 2 points

5th place bench = 1 point

All benches must be validated on HWBot for the OC3D team and a secondary hardware shot with with the screenshot in the background must also be posted.

All participants must submit results for all benches.

Extra requirements can be added at any time.

NEW PICS!

RESULTS

CPU-Z

4.5GHz boot stable but crashed shortly after varification. I might be able to get more out of this chip though i am not sure at the moment.

CPU-Z - Max Stable (30mins prime 95)

i really hate prime95 now took me ages to get a clock stable enough for this, normally crashed around 25 minutes in to it

PCMark 2004

D.N.F

PCMark 2005

D.N.F

i am not able at this time to complete these as i am getting some errors but will try again when i have everything else done

PCMark Vantage

got vantage done now and i am impressed with the score

http://hwbot.org/community/submissi...ntage_phenom_ii_x4_975_be_7760_marks?new=true

PiFast

firtst time i have ran this benchmark so i might be able to get some more out of it and improve my score so i will be trying it again later

http://hwbot.org/community/submissi..._pifast_phenom_ii_x4_975_be_26.9_sec?new=true

SisoftSandra

this freezes during the test and i thought it was the CPU so be careful with this one

http://hwbot.org/community/submissi...tsandra_phenom_ii_x4_975_be_5859_fpu?new=true

SuperPi 1M

in 15.975 seconds the CPU was at 4.5GHz

http://hwbot.org/community/submission/2171299_mr._strawberry_superpi_phenom_ii_x4_975_be_15sec_975ms

SuperPi 32m

took me a while to get this one to finish but it did in 17 minutes and 18.25 seconds i had to drop the CPU speed back a little to 4.4GHz

http://hwbot.org/community/submissi...erpi_32m_phenom_ii_x4_975_be_17min_18sec_25ms

wPrime 1024m

to complete this benchmark i had to drop the CPU clock again which is annoying but at least it is done

http://hwbot.org/community/submissi...phenom_ii_x4_975_be_4min_38sec_445ms?new=true

wPrime 32m

completed this in 8.923 seconds again i had to have the CPU at 4.4GHz which is annoying.

PCmark7

as PCmark7 is now on the list f CPU benchmarks i thought i better do it and got a nice score

Nice pics strabs!! That cooler really is massive. These are some of the best pics to "really" show off it's size!

Love the bench! I want one!

Looking forward to seeing the overclock results mate!

 

[yggdrasil]

Nice cooler, Love the bench to, Looking forward to seeing those OC scores

I'm curious as to the reason to why both sticks are in a single RAM bank?

 

[chudley]

Thats how this particular motherboard likes them

That small graphics card really does make the fans look MAAASSSIIVE.

 

[yggdrasil]

OK cool, I not had to much experience with AMD so cheers

 

[stevenwright6379]

thanks guys

that cooler really is massive and loud if you turn the fans up

added some scored to my second post above should have some more later

 

[stevenwright6379]

well that is me done for the day i think

might give pcmark 04 and 05 another try and see if i can get a score for them

 

[chudley]

Good job Strawbs although it seems you have a 975 fitted?

I am still playind around with different methods of OC'ing.

 

[PCTwin]

975 BE. I've got a 970 BE?

 

[Stromatolites]

How come Strawberry is using the wrong CPU????

 

[BigIan88]

Ive got a 970 too

 

[tinytomlogan]

Strawbs is using my kit remember guys. I thought I had a 970 but it ended up being a 975.

I only got 4x chips from AMD for this and I was using my one as the 'staff' entry which strawbs is meant to be doing.

Thats why Strawbs needs to be doing a LOT more work than he is or Ill go supernova

 

[TMaksimov]

Hmm lower clocks than all the 970s with a 975 at a higher voltage. This is quite interesting!

 

[trazomfr]

Beautiful pictures and excellent result.

The cooler is simply enormous. He looks like a shield.

thats because i am pants at overclocking AMD

i am slowly getting the volts down though

got the same clock speed as the CPU-z one but with 1.55v instead of the 1.7 i used in the validation

I really give up with you.

I really give up with you.

I'm having that quote

 

[chudley]

lol I did notice your high voltage of 1.7
