2nd Fastest Ars Benchmark Time Ever Posted - TeAm AnandTech's "TS- RickD" :-)

[Smoke]

Special Announcement: RickD has just completed the Ars Benchmark WU in record time: 2:06
This may be the fastest time ever recorded by any CPU save the Itaniums.

MoFunk has me dancing with his "Play that funky music, White Boy!" and so does the latest result by my newly configured fastest machine.

:Q

Hrm, you're making me wanna tweak my P4 2.4 now That hit 2:01 for a WU, and a few more within a couple of minutes of that

My Queue's details

Quickest is 2:01, slowest (0.031 AR) is 3:06 on Page 6


And this is without ANY tweaking at all...i think i can do better than that I'll try and give u a run for your money, Mr Smokie

You're smokin

 

[toft-dk]

You're really putting the pedal to the metal Greg

Awsome times

 

[Robor]

Congrats on that record WU time there Greg. Makes my 3:30 P4-1.6a @ 2200 seem slow.

 

[RaySun2Be]

excellent!

 

[Crazee]

Nice time Smokeball

 

[MoFunk]

Holy cow that's fast! Great job!

The really good news is "Smoke #6" didn't melt overnight.

I can still tweak a little more out of this system (but not much ... it is running at an equivalent CPU speed of 3.554GHz) and I can't wait to see what it will do on a really "sweet" WU. :Q

WOW!!!!!!! I am trying to tweak with mine a little bit to get below the 3 hour mark on a constistant basis, but that is the machine that has my queue and the only internet connection available. After the MTR I will probably switch the queue to another system so I can really tweak with mine. I know that there is something I am overlooking because I was getting better WU times with my 2 sticks of crucial 2100 than I am with my 1 stick of corsair 3200!

MoFunk, you wouldn't happen to have an NForce chipset, would you? Dual channel DDR and all that?

Just a guess since I've never had one and can't afford one.

 

[ColinP]

Man, you guys have slow machines...

Mine's done a few in 1 second !!!!!!

Seriously though, 2.50 is the best so far, but that's on a dual system with both CPUs crunching Seti & UD.

If only it would take Prestonias.....

No I have an Epox 8K3A+ with a Via chipset. I am thinking it may be a BIOS or configuration issue. The wierd thing is that when I used Sandra to run a bench on it, it showed that I had 256 in the first bank and 256 in the next. I have 1 stick of 512. Really wierd. But I hate to mess with it too much right now because of the MTR.

 

[Smoke]

OMG, a faster one! :Q

Check out the times Smoke #6 has been turning in.

Well Greg, it looks like you beat my time, Congrats.......

 

[Hellburner]

Check out the top entry here, some Itanium2 900 MHz IA64 luvin' turning in a 1:37 on the Ars benchmark unit.

 

[lane42]

1:37, Wooo

Thanks, Sean

Rick came so close with his 2400+ XP (and he's got another version in the works) but this new P4 system is unbelieveable. The surprising part is the Gigabyte board is not the one I expected to be the fastest. A new PS may be the trick to get the Abit IT7-MAX2 Ver. 2.0 up where it should fly.

I need to give Rick a lot of credit for reaching this point. He has gotten to be a really good overclocker and together we are learning alot. This P4 chip I have is something "special".

Hellburner, that Itanium chip costs between $2758 - $2831 so I don't think any of my systems are going to come close to that.

 

[KillerDK]

Wow !!!!

Congrats Smokeball
