M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

if i were getting one...it would be the i7 or this one.

hummm. still would go with the 1333 over the 1066...

 

I've got my T9600 to 3.3GHZ 20% increase from stock. Anyone get any higher?

 

no Clauss got that but i haven't seen any one over 3.3

SHAME on you

my p8600 is knocking on 3.3 and you are proud of that


JP congrat and try different settings to bump it up more and be sure to use the guide i made to overclock more in windows

 

Haha, well thumbs up to you! I wish I could go higher!

Now what clocks are people running for their OC'd 260m SLI's

 

I imagine what could be made with a P8600 with more voltage unh unh...

 

im running What mandrake ran on his Vantage recored with a little higher on the memory and shader

 

What about 280's I can't seem to get to where Quad was at 690/1060/1690

I am at 650/1000/1600

 

has anyone looked at the bios with an editor yet?

butter
you'll get better numbers if you run windows 7 7229 32 or 64 bit.

 

By that you mean? my Bios?

 

your bios or any m17x bios...your looking for a volt mod. the only other volt mod is a hard mod, which 99 percent will not be trying any time soon...lol.
don't ask me, because right before i got to that part with my x9000, i sold the laptop and got a different one....

 

Zfactor looked @ the bios he said it was a spyder bios which means its not the friendliest bios but he would look @ it more later ...

he is getting the M17x so i suspect he will

 

zfactor is getting one as well you say...nice!

 

Yaaaaaatttaaaaaa! lol

 

Were just waitin on you John but i can tell by your answer everytime someone asks that you wont be buying a notebook anytime soon.

You got the desktop bug for now .

 

randomness!!!!!!!!!

 

least some one said it


ay one know of any BIOS editors ? i need to start learning

 

Why not ask Z Moo maybe he can point you into the right direction .

 

because other opinions are nice to

 

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=4994014 did you just make this Moo?

 

yeah, got the desktop bug right now. there is no way i can push a laptop anywhere remotely close to where im at now. and as for gaming, not even a contest. and my everyday laptop is a thinkpad t61p with a few upgraded parts to make it a nice little portable workstation repair laptop. also to surf the net while the desktop is doing it's thing...i may get into folding later...

also quad...i have like 10 computers right now...i can only use so many at one time...lol

 

Well lets see you have 10 computers and cant possibly use them all at one time so i guess another one would not hurt nor help depending on how you look at it .

 

would not help you mean...that would be another BAD=big azz distraction!..lol

besides...if i got one, it would be to help the community strive for higher numbers..

 

Set you multiplier to default and your memory and fsb to 1235...you'll have 2.93Ghz.

1066 running @ 1333 give a higher CL but 1333 running @ 1066 is the same thing.

I knew there was a reason why I liked you.

 

Lol the second part is really confusing.... "1066 running @ 1333 give a higher CL but 1333 running @ 1066 is the same thing." What the H is CL? lol

And by stock you mean for the Qx9300 which is 9.5... or should I use 9 instead

 

CL= CAS Latency

Did you try the OC settings I posted?

 

No I'm watching Highlander I'll do it in a minute

 

Hey Mandrake I don't know how to do what you are asking... Let me send you a pic to show you what I mean... That's how I do my overclocking and I don't see how I can go off your recommendations... unless you had another program in mind?

I mean I do see the CL now at least, so I learned something lol

 

don't use NST. Do it in the bios. I can supply pics if you need it.

 

Oh ok lol... Let me write this down and I'll give it a go

But why do I need to underclock my Memory?

 

Because using mem higher than fsb isn't smart.

Let's keep it simple

 

Ok thanks explains alot... see I like you Big you keep the answers simple... all I am is curious and that explains enough for me... however Mandrake I may need those pictures as I don't know how to access Memory or FSB in the bios...

 

OK let me look for them.

 

Advanced > overclock

 

Yup I did that obviously but my only selection was the Multiplier and unlinked or auto

 

Go under advanced and change the Memory Frequency and FSB Frequency to 1235. If you have issues try lowering it to 1230.

 

Oh ok I see now I have to set it to unlinked! Thanks Mandrake... now what if I was to want to get to say 3.06

 

Keep multiplier default. Change Set Clock Mode to Unlinked and then make your changes.

 

try 2.93 first since everyone has been saying it is stable. 3.06 is 1290.

 

lol. yeah, you probably need to recomprehend what I wrote.

Skill level? So I can double click on an application, punch in some numbers and hit apply. Does that make me a level 63 Benchmarking Mage?

Interesting you say that because the XMP ready sodimms from OCZ seem to be the regular SODIMMs at 1066mhz, except it has another profile that bumps the latencies to make it more stable at 1333mhz. Tried it on my whitebook before I sold it and it had the same memory banks as the original PC-8500 sticks...

 

Hows your W90 doing? Did you pass 11.7K yet?

 

SPD's vary from model to model .

BTW offtopic but... I FINALLY TRACKED DOWN THE PROBLEM IN MY ARRAY

the benchmark site gonna be online today i think

 

Yaaay I need to get on top of my scores then... I just barely broke 11k GPU...

 

That's my highest so far. The exact number is here. But, there's screen tearing during the Vantage load screen and in some of my games, so I'm going to RMA for it since I've already tried different driver and VGA BIOS setups.

 

So what happened? Did it work?

 

you originally told us 2 hours...a week ago.

 

Sorry just got back in had to drop back to stock... When I set both to 1235 it wouldn't work, loads went on forever or it just went black screen... Then I set memory to 1333 and FSB to 1235 and it started up worked for a while and then BSOD... so it's safe to say 1235x1235 didn't work... but I don't know why it started with memory at 1333.........

 

Keep dropping it down by 5 and try again. It's important to keep the memory and FSB the same. On a side note if you can't get 1235 to work then 3.06 will be out of reach. The OEM procs are reaching those speeds.

 

Yea I figured that one... although someone told me to try setting Multiplier to 9 and then pumping FSB... like 333x9.... But yea I got it to 2.8 just with the multiplier at 10.5 I guess I just got a weak CPU

 

Try experimenting without touching the multiplier. Once you see how far you can push it then you can try additional OC'ing with the multiplier and NST.

 

butters i'm lost at where you are can you do this for me. and report your clock speeds at where you are in each.

stock everything= 2.53ghz 1066fsb 1333 ram
stock everything just multiplier upping=????ghz
stock everything just fsb upping =???? ghz ???fsb 1333 ram
and then we can go from there with ram adjustments.
