Looking for new processor.

In Vista or W7?

 

I don't think anything is going to break 6.0. Maybe a quad core? But we don't have support for those except for the 7807.

By the way, I have an undervolting question. When I find the lowest voltage for my 11x multiplier, can I set every other multiplier to at least that voltage? I read that lower multipliers are more sensitive to undervolting, but they should all be able to operate at the highest multiplier's voltage, right? I really don't want to have to stress test every multiplier like 5 times. That would take forever.

 

@theGOAT:

X9100 rated at 5.7 in Vista.

@gamadaya:-

CPUgenie found that my lowest stable voltage @ 11.5x is 1.075v. @11v, it's 1.037v. Took 30hours to cycle through all multipliers to find lowest respective voltages and that's only a 3min stress test per multiplier. The program also offers a hardcore stress test for undervolting which lasts for 60hours!

 

My X9000 Rated a 6.5 in Win7 WEI

CPU: 6.5
RAM: 6.5
Graphic: 5.9
Gaming Graphic: 5.9
Hard Drive: 7.3

 

what hard drive do you have in there? and im guessing 8gb RAM

 

Supertalent UltraDrive SSD and nope only 4GB RAM (4-4-4-12 timmings after down clocking to 667mHz)

As to whether or not that means anything... nope.
WEI is basically useless, so i wouldnt put much stock in it. If you really want i can show you all how to just have 9.9 scores in everything

 

you can hack it that way?? that takes all the fun out. even though the scale sucks for comparing individual machines, its nice to notice your own scores increase by arbitrary amounts every now and then

 

3 min? That really doesn't sound like it would be enough. I crashed at 1.037 after about 20 min. So it looks like 1.05 is my limit. I'll set everything to that and continue tests. Lowered temps by like 8C though, and TZS is lower than ever, so I'm pretty happy. Now let's see if it actually stops the TZS0 spike from downclocking everything. Or maybe it'll stop the spike itself. That would be nice.

@Kamin_Majere:
Yeah, WEI is useless. It's fun to see numbers go up, but it's not really telling me anything. My favorite benchmark tool is actually the Far Cry 2 benchmarker. It gives me more meaningful results than 3dmark06 in most cases.

 

Those are unfortunately my actual scores, but yes you can hack it to be any number you want between 1.0 and 9.9 (i cant figure out the coding to make it register a double digit number)

 

how do you actually downclock the DDR3 RAM, I have been trying to do so for months without success.

thank you,

 

I ran 3dmark06 w/ undervolt. TZS0 didn't spike at all. It got to at most 67C, but I forgot to clear max temps from ORTHOS, so I'm guessing it was lower. Only got 9192 though. Thought it would be a little higher.
