Stevenxowens792 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 All,If you have time, can you please try this test and see what your processor does during the test as far as turbo characteristics? Install Throttlestop (set to off but keep it open to observe Turbo and cpu speed)Install wprimeOpen both, set wprime to 8 threads and run 1024. Watch your multiplier during the test. Example (I have mine set to max turbo duration) so I have 26x for approx 3 minutes then it drops to 25.34-25.54 for the rest of the test. If I set my BCLK to max it will keep the characteristics the same but temps increase a little and power draw is higher. Let me know how yours does and temps as well. Again my new max temp with 6 consecutive runs is 80c. Again I will assume this will go up 2c over the next 2 weeks even though the paste said no set in time necessary.

iloveb00bs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 2720 here: ran the 1024 wprime it stays at 30x for like 5 sec then drops to 29.5x for 90 sec or so, then drops t0 28x for a few secs then the reminder of the test is at 27.5. max temp at 85. also have my bclk at 107. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Iloveboobs (inap) - Does the m17xr3 allow a higher bclk setting than the m14x? It seems ours only goes up to 103.1. Will setfsb or something allow it to go higher? I have a purchased version of setfsb if it works. Thanks so much for running the test!

ragingazn628 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 @SteveMy m11x had max OC in the Bios at 166mhz but I used SetFSB and got fricking 185mhz STABLE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveb00bs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 everything was done in the bios. i took me a couple of tries before 107 was accepted for some reason i was able to set it higher after the laptop has been warmed up, on a cold boot i wasn't even able to go past 105 sometime less. 107 was been good so far for me, been like 2 weeks with no problem, been lazy to go any higher.

ragingazn628 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I mean will a few mhz make a difference? When I set mine to 103mhz it overheated to ~90C+ - now I have it at 100mhz and been running 24/7 at 79-80C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveb00bs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 not really in everyday task, but i'm a bencher so any lil bit counts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Inap - what I mean is that bios wont allow it.. It only goes to 103.1 Do you think setfsb will work?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveb00bs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 oh sorry didn't know about the bios limiter. i have no clue if setfsb would work or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 So Inap you keep 107 baseclock 24/7? Sounds like a fair increase and you said you've found it stable for 2 weeks so far? I've read that max recommended in most cases is very close to that value anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted May 17, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 17, 2011 So the only way to OC the R3 right now is via BIOS ?The stock paste i got the R3 with seems very shitty, i am idling at 55-60C on the CPU.. Thursday my mobo is being replaced and while we're at it i'll put on some fresh MX-4.. once i do that i'll bench mine too and post results here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 That's awesome Inap! I think 107 gives a nice increase on the system... what does your ram run at then... do you change your ram settings... leave them the same or does the baseclock change the speed the ram runs at like on I7 first gen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveb00bs Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 haven't mess with the ram setting yet, but prolly will once i order some hyperX's. atm i just use the auto settings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
