um yeahhhhhhhhh.....your OC'ed 2800+ clawhammer totally beats an OC'ed FX-55 :roll:
scumbag, why bother cheating on an online contest that you win nothing for. go get a life

Here's my P4 540 at 28m 29s. The damn SuperPI window wasn't big enough so when it finished it chopped off half of the end result and you can't make it bigger without clicking the OK button. But you can tell its legit cos there is like 1min difference between loop 23 and 24.

Using patched SuperPI version and just plain air cooling as per sig.

you need to extended the superpi window before running
open super pi, extend window and then run


by the way zakee00 can you include the P4s original clocks again ? its nicer IMO


Thanks

IMO: you need seperate charts for northwoods/prescotts

or a P4C 2.4@3.3 and P4E xx@xx format ?
that would be nice

Super PI Hacked

 

[Zebo]

what's this presshot cheat all about?

 

[Sc4freak]

It utilises SSE3 instructions, I think. Which only the Prescotts currently have.

Anyway, looks like I was beaten by 6 seconds. Time to take back my position:

Picture, Patched Version

404, bad link

BTW.... "hacking" superpi isnt hard at all, its not a "cheat"....all you need to do is change the values in the text file.
thats why i dont take screenies of the main Pi screen.

1. Deachus- 26m 0s P4@ 4GHz (Patched)
2. Sc4freak- 26m 06s P4@ 4.02GHz (Patched)
3. Slulfyer06- 27m 0s P4@ 3.96GHz
4. Stardust- 27m 59s P4@ 3.95GHz
5. Stevty2889- 29m 18s P4@ 3.8GHz

Zakee, unless they show both patched and unpatched times at same Mhz You must assume all are patched. Why? Those times don't jive. All looked patched. A 4.0 Presshot should be right around 28... Also can A64's run patched version? http://xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=23762

I think you should either include all or dis the patched.

Over at HARD they dis the patch.. For example Sc4freak is running - 27m 36s - P4 3.4E @ 4.10GHz over there.

If a CPU can do SSE3 instructions why limit it to only doing SSE2 instructions. You paid for it to do SSE3, I don't see why you should be forced to use SSE2 just for superPi. It's a valid feature of the chip, and it's just as legit as having 1MB cache rather than 512KB.

Adds a little with the patch

superpi is an old app, its not coded for sse2/3. the patches enable it.

Ahh right, my bad. Still I think if the CPU can do it, you shouldn't be disadvantaged by disallowing the patched overclock results.

Apples to oranges... why run a different code path for same app? When they do video card tests they don't force the OpenGL path to make nV look good. We now have three different apps here with superpi. Maybe one is coded better too? Like the "new" ones?

If all it does is take advantage of sse3 and 2 it's not a problem, but do you know that's all it does, internally speaking?

Fixed the link.

Wow you got an AV8 to run a 300Mhz FSB?
I'm debating whether to get that or the Gigabyte K8NS, and was worried that the AV8 couldn't quite pump the higher FSBs...
