*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmarks RESULTS *Part 2*

i thought you knew already...benching is a very expensive & time consuming hobbie...

 

that AC unit is as much as my cpu was

 

can't look at it like that...you have to look at it as a tool to help you go further when need be..and it goes with any new machine you buy.. can cool a room or a desktop computer as well...it's an all around tool.

 

My CPU seems happiest at 3.07 with Mandrakes trick.. Booting and running basic tasks were fine at 3.2 but 06 crashed half way thru.... At 3.07 im just running the mulit OC FSB and RAM are at stock. Its still better then before so i may just settle for this ... 15993 was my best run 06 thus far...

This is under Vista64 though and i have not tried Win7 yet but will over the next couple days..

 

Just get a cheap window unit.... Very cheap atwalmart

 

Maybe a thread of over 120 pages is a bit intimidating for people looking to join Do you think opening a new thread for gaming benchmarks ONLY would be a good idea?

 

Are you at least using a notebook cooler?

I don't think starting a new thread will draw more people in.

 

OK all, if I get the OK from a mod I will update the OP with the current results. So if you have a score that should be in the top 10 in Vantage or 06 PM me and I will try to sort it out. If someone has already been keeping track I will take any help you can offer. TIA!

 

Here is what I have for a top 10.

If there is a mistake or I'm missing something let me know.

 

Looks good mandrake, and thanks for taking the reigns on that.

I need to get myself higher up that 06 list

 

That puts you in spot #10 on Mandrakes list

 

I am not Drake but i may invest into one soon just to give it a whirl..

It was rather toasty in my room as well even though the CPU temps were moderately low..

1300/1300 did not even make it into windows but again it might just be the cooling not being sufficient..

 

cooling has slot to do with it. 3.212 isn't stable unless it is cool enough.

3.125 is fine all the time. 3.2ghz I can get away with unless it is scorching hot where I AM.

try getting it alittle cooler and see what you come up with.

 

Yeah ill probably invest into one also just to see if i can keep the GPU fans at bay ... They spin up pretty aggressive and it sounds like a typhoon in my room ...

 

I would almost guaranty 1300 working with a decent cooler.

 

I have been running 1300/1300 for 2 days with only 1 lockup all that time (didn't even bsod). Has not been an issue in either 06 or Vantage though.

But I have my bottomcover removed, ram cover removed, and cryo cooling it all (with the upgraded fans, 3x Scythe SFF21G)

 

I have updated the Top 10 lists based on Mandrake's notes. Don (and anyone else), why aren't you in this list - PM me with links to your relevant posts and I will update the list. Reminder, to make it on the list, you must provide a screenshot showing your benchmark results when posting.

No more updates for today - Enjoy the holiday everyone!

 

quite a few mistakes on the first page... some of those marked in green should be red....

 

i'm not on the list because even though I broke 12k my overrall score was p98??. sand my 06 score was 15200.

right now I AM focused on single vantage. I got 5500 stock. Which is pretty good from 5200. If I overclock on them I should hit some good numbers.

 

phone isn't responding. Can a mod delete my post.

 

My last bench whith driver catalyst 9.11 with mod not the best whith 3DMark but better performance whitn crysis.I need a tool for overclock my GPU(not flash), please HELP...

 

Not bad, moves you closer to me. If you OC your GPU's you'll be neck and neck with me.

The reason there are issue with the programs working for GPU OC is the cards block the apps from making changes to them. I tried about a half dozen and none worked. If you find one let me know.

 

at this point, might as well go all out and overvolt

 

+1 ichime.

 

doin' another camp out tonight. It's colder but I'm more bundled up.

It's currently 35 but feels like 25 with snow in the forecast...weeeee

 

volt up and lets see what these babies can do...no sense in beating around the bush any longer. time to kick it up a few knotches and go for the gusto!

 

not even that far yet.

 

You should be video taping all this ...

 

It's hard enough to sit and wait through your own benchmarks. Why would someone want to watch someone else do it?

 

Hmm for a good laugh ... Im just messin with you though but i see you have no sense of humor ....

 

phew...I thought you were going to make me get my camera.

 

..... Put your cryo under it while benching outside

 

It is, bottom cover removed also.

The system is very cold to the touch.

 

I know I was the first one to do it and mine was colder

what's your temps idle/max

 

It maxed out yesterday at 48. Idle was in the 30s. Today it should be colder but I haven't checked yet.

 

haha benchmark in the freezer..! (wont advise it though, condensation reasons )

 

I'm in a freezer called Chicago.

I'm idling in the low 20s on the cpu right now.

 

perfect conditions for benching, Is this indoors, or have you gone outside?

 

I'm outside shivering.

 

the prerequisite is for the laptop to freeze, you my friend can wear a warm jacket

 

lol. You do have a point. Just because you are showing off your laptop private areas by no means you have to do the same. Get warm by drinking something hot, wearing a coat, put on extra clothes like you are shoveling snow.

 

hahahaha

 

I did, still got too cold. I'm in the house now waiting on deals.

 

New high for nVidia! Nice job, that'll get Scook mad.

 

i should try to break the 100 more points he wanted.

 

here you go scook

 

Grats Don very good job ..

 

thanks. i did two runs total tonight.(the ones you see above) but i have work in the morning.
but i'm going to try red faction and see what's up with that.

with the second one i tried to save the results but i locked up before that could happen.

 

looking good don!!

 

nothing like finishing off a lazy delicious day to see Don hit 12.1k with the Nvidias, had to send a grats on both AIM and NBR =)
