[BENCHMARKS] The OFFICIAL Thread


Brian

Recommended Posts

I have been studying a variety of 6700K XTU profiles on HWBOT and found some interesting differences. My XTU benchmark score is amazing, but I wanted to see how my setting compared to those that had a little bit better results. What I find is that it seems Skylake is extremely inconsistent. The variance between settings that work well among all 6700K processors is nothing short of ridiculous, even among some of the most expensive desktop enthusiast motherboards. Often those settings not even close enough to call them similar. Anyhow, tinkering in the BIOS based on what I found to experiment with, I am able to replicate my previous Cinebench R11.5 results with entirely different settings and slightly lower temps. This is using adaptive core and ring voltage, core 25, 25, +25 offset, with PLL set at 5, and 45x on ring set with the same voltage. Again, this is just fans blowing, sitting in my recliner this morning. No AC cooling.

You would run superpi :)

 

Have you tried more than 1.2V on memory? I've found DDR4 to scale linearly with voltage. Ex 1.35V would get you a 1.35/1.2 = 1.125x speed increase with no memory timings change.

 

The memory voltage can only be changed with XMP profiles. For some reason the value does not hold and reverts back to 1.200V when I attempt to change it.

More than likely it's locked on sodimms....

Very possible. @Prema unlocked the BIOS voltage setting as well as the ability to use Thaiphoon Burner (which was also locked down on Skylake), but the voltage does not stick. I was able to edit the XMP profile using the XMP Enhancer and up the voltage that way. I cannot do it on the G.SKILL DDR4-3000 sticks because the Thaiphoon Burner license was for the Sky X9 review unit.

Let them know you have a new motherboard because you do.

XMP seems to be the only way for the voltage increase. Although the M18Xr2 would let you change it in the bios, but after a crash it would reset the voltage.

The Thaiphoon Burner license belonged to @Prema so he would have to renew it for me.

 

SuperPI 32M - a little better with Windows 7 versus 10... no surprise there.

Well....there is always that. lol

 

Don't drink a 12 pack this week and buy a new licence on the machine you are going to keep the longest. That's what i did....Well not the drinking part...

16 Bucks is pretty cheap. That would cover you for DDR4.

 

 

Edit:

Humm...looking at that 55 for a lifetime license...

Does the $16 version still include the XMP Enhancer? If it does then I'll definitely buy it. For some reason I thought they took that away and make you buy the Professional version now for XMP editing. Will have to check and see. Seems like I ran into that on the version I was using for the P570WM. I renewed the license and that feature was gone after renewing and I could not edit the XMP profiles that I was able to prior to expiration/renewal.

 

SuperPI 1M... again, just a fraction better under Windows 7 versus 10.

That's what I'm using now. and it has enhancer. Matter of fact, I need to update to the newest version.

 

Edit

Awh, I see it now. It's disabled for DDR4

Well, hell. Just flushed money down the toilet. The Pro version supports it, but that's not clear. I guess that's why the version @Prema got for the Sky X9 review unit worked. 

 

I emailed them and asked them to cancel my new license and issue a refund.

Yes, I emailed them and asked to let me convert my $55 "lifetime" license to Pro. I already gave them more money for that than a 1 year $39 Pro license.

 

This is false advertising and they need to prominently post a disclaimer that anything less than "Pro" is crippled junk. It IS NOT fully functional.

Looks like they got slick and went the way of the "subscription" Pro is 39 a year.

 

Unless you are on the right page to accidentally see this table, you're screwed.

It is mentioned nowhere on this page, where you buy it

 

http://www.shareit.com/product.html?productid=300457366

 

...or this page...

 

http://www.shareit.com/product.html?productid=300378295

 

In fact, both pages where you go to buy the license say this:

 

"Thaiphoon Burner provides easy to use tools for Intel XMP and NVIDIA EPP profile enhancing and editing SPD firmware."

I say a few of us go in as a company and get the full version. lol

 

If we could get at least 4 people to chip in an equal share it would definitely be worth it.

Now that would be a good group of fellas there!

Yup, and Brother Nephew @J95 has a brand spankin' new P870DM-G on the way to him, along with some of the DDR4-3000 G.SKILL like I have. So, he's going to want it.

I just noticed your signature... so, you're running quad 330W on the beast now? That setup worked nice on the 980 SLI in the Sky X9... was more than it needed, but worked well.
