*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

That depends on the systems power settings.

 

in theory yes. then they should perform better on benchmark for the reasons you said. they are not both apples but both are cpus. for me its like searching more for the latest released technology than real life and we all know that newest technology is many times just a deal for more money.

and i am not the one to compare them. this has been done by experts .

 

If I was that close to 22,000 it would be driving me nuts.

 

Yes, it frustrated me so much that I sent the dang thing back. So I'll live with what I got.

 

exactly how i felt when i couldn't break 17k..16,872 or something like that.

 

lool i know this feeling too. 17k was a real deal for me. then i reached 17267 with the ATIs. i can run the benchmark with 3.19 ghz the most but i cant return it as i bought from ebay (its not ES) but scoop reached over 18000 with it at 3.3 ghz. this breaks my nerves

 

scoop? who is scoop

 

I hit 18540 on my R1 with a qx9300 and ATis 4870

He meant Scook

 

oh...lol
because where i come from...calling some one scoop was like a sort of a clown or diss

 

For some reason I end up as scoop alot here...lol

Yes, I got 18686 with QX9300 and the 4870s (current record for non i7). Of course that is a record not counting the run by that w90 with the super secret BIOS that no one else ever saw.....if I had just an unlocked core voltage, 20k would be done no doubt

That was a pretty happy day

 

yeah, back then we thought it was impossible...but from what i know now...it was possible, just that we didn't have the right tools for the job..like his altered bios...lol

 

If I could get to just 3.5 GHz I am confident I would be able to hit 20k....but with an unlocked BIOS, it is likely I would be able to go to at least 3.7 GHz I would think, shame AW was less giving to the R1 owners in the BIOS than they were to the R2 people

 

you just need some of the same cards the whitebook had...(not literal)

meaning the voltage they got for their quads.

 

while with XTU the sky was the limit on voltage....lol

Mandrake got to 4 GHz

 

how come you cant hit that high? or was that the m17?

 

It was on the M17 I believe.

 

So, not being able to OC the 820qm (i decided on this proc) is a limit of the bios, and not the cpu? So in theory, AW could release a bios update that allowed for oc'ing the 820? Sorry for the noob questions.

 

Correct. ..

 

That was in the M17 John, highest he got with the M17x was 3.33 or so. Right where I am, it is a vcore limitation.

If they release an updated BIOS which allows overclocking, you would only be able to change the bclk and vcore. I guess this is the same as the bios overclocking for the 920xm but the 920xm can also alter its turbo freq. bins via software tools since those multipliers are "unlocked" for the extreme chips. You should still be able to do the 5% increase though - if such a bios is released

 

scook9 did you see real difference on the hyperx 1333 ram in comparison with the Dell 1333mhz? i am one step before ordering. should i go on?


thus if voltage is locked how did you get the highest qx9300 cpu speed till now? is it only a matter of temperature? thus could you upload a pic of your cpu with the thermal paste? i want to see how much of it did you use. I guess voltage is locked on a notebook for obvious reasons right?

 

right your cpu speed was also 3.3ghz. did you use the hyperx ram as well?

 

The G73 can OC the bclk through Windows with any processor. If we only knew how that software worked.....

 

any ideas for the hyperx? there is one day left for the purchase from a US seller.. i wont find it anywhere else in europe..


thus i found those

http://www.pricespider.com/compare-...-ddr3-1600-pc3-khx1600c9s3k2-4gx-7002443.html

does the M17X support 1600mhz Ram?

 

You know that's XMP memory, right?

 

i dont know what XMP means really.. its not supported on the M17X then?

 

Technically no. It will take the expensive memory and turn it into cheap memory.

All the tech specs won't apply because the bios of the M17x does not support XMP.

 

so it finally doesnt worth the money as the M17X doesnt support its features.


any comments for the 1333mhz hyperX memories Mandrake? are they better than default hyniX 1333mhz of Dell?

 

The non-XMP version yes.

Here is a benchmark for testing, MaxxMEM

Have scook run it since he has the M17xR1 with HyperX mem. Then compare it to your system.

 

SCOOK9 can you this benchmark too please?

 

can i run it also?
stocked overclocked what's good?

 

Correct, the lower the latency the better.

yes, yes and yes.

What memory are you running these days?

Here's mine stock on the G73:

 

kingston hyperx 1333 7-7-7-20

from witcher. thanks.


one of your sticks got bad.

 

I had 6 sticks and had to RMA 2 of them. Still waiting for the replacement.

Run the test if you have the HyperX memory.

 

hyperx score please. Mandrake whats your memory model?

 

cpu speed doesnt matter.

run the ram at 1333?

 

i think it matters but anyway. just run it as same cpu speed with me if possible. fsb at 1250, multiplier at x10. ram at 1333mhz. mine seemed to stuck in games with those settings (due to the ram which i had at 1250mhz before the benchmark). just do it for this benchmark for comparison.

 

KHX1333C7S3K2/4G

yes.

 

and how do you have 8gb? it has four slots?

 

It's an old bug (found it the first day I had the system).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MphbJwmXNCs

 

The G73 has 4 slots.

 

yes and the fans still working like crazy. 4 slots! right!

 

well even its cpu related or the hyperX is not so hyper. i dont know what to do now..

 

its a ram test so maybe the more ram the better also the more slots there is the more "room" it can store data.

drake run it with 2 sticks of ram if you can

edit
its cpu related. i will post results in 2min.

 

Very interesting. Is your systems power settings set to high performance?

 

Yeah but it shouldn't be slower than the stock stuff.

I can try the two stick test when I get home...I'm working today.

 

dondadah88 can you do my cpu settings and maintain the ram at 1333mhz and then run a game? do you get stuttering?

or tell me your cpu settings . we have to try with the same cpu speed. only difference is i have win7 ultimate. it uses more ram sources for sure. or we could try it under safe mode..

 

its good. i just upp'd my pu and it rose
before

after

 

the first test the cpu is at 11x and the fsb is stocked at 1066. the ram is at 1333. tell me what you get.

 

The fsb should have a much greater impact on the score than the ram bus speed.
