ROG Team Super Pi Challenge Oct 18 - Nov 17 2012

[HiVizMan]

To celebrate the formation of the new ROG Supreme OC HWBOT team. I think it is only appropriate that we have a little benching challenge to get things really started. This challenge is only open to ROG Supreme OC members.

Not a member of ROG Supreme yet, join the team now. Register Here

Submissions open - 18 October 2012
Submissions close - 17 November 2012 12:00 GMT

And what better benchmark than Super Pi.

The Challenge - ROG Super Pi efficiency

Post your best 32 mil and 1 mil times.
Both submissions must be run at the same CPU frequency.
Memory frequency is capped at 2400 MHz. Not one MHz more. 🙂
Open to AMD and Intel users.
Both submissions are rated for efficiency and the efficiency rating for each benchmark combined.
The winner has the best efficiency total.

Requirements
Air and Water cooling only, for memory and CPU - No sub zero cooling allowed.
A photo of your benching rig must accompany your submission.
Contest is only open to ROG Supreme OC team members - your entry must include your HWBOT profile link. 🙂
Each submission must have the wallpaper that Chris designed for this challenge.
Each submission must comply with the HWBOT rules for submission.
Each submission must have the motherboard tab of CPUz open.


Prize

There is a CPU or kit of Ram up for grabs.

The CPU will be either a:

Intel® Core™ i7-990X Processor Extreme Edition (Brand New and never used)
or
Intel® Core™ i5-2550K Processor (binned 5.5GHz) not used for HWBOT submission will be certain silver cups in all 2D benchmarks and CPUz

I will let the winner decide which prize they need or want the most.

"...like water off a duck's back." Thanks for the honest effort. I was trying to bring some more humor into it is all.

& I'll be bring more humor soon. I'm going to run the Super Pi on my G75VW-BBK5. That'll show ya! 😉

[Zka17]

OK, guys, now I swapped my CPU... started running SuperPi on the 3770k... :cool:

This is just a teasing submission, still working on the primary timings only (no OS tweak applied yet)

So, the hardware:

CPU - 4200MHz
RAM - 2400MHz

Super Pi 1M: 8sec 672msec



Super Pi 32M: 7min 38sec 094msec

[Alex-Ro]

Very nice!

[Zka17]

Thanks, Alex! Are you still tweaking?

[asipamn]

is there any online app to calculate efficiency so that i dont have to post so much?

I don't know about it... but if you follow HiVizMan's advice, you pick a CPU frequency and stick to it, then you find the best RAM frequency and you just play with the timings... - then lower the Super Pi times at the same CPU and RAM speed, higher will be your efficiency... :cool:

Please, check your PM!

Read 'em & weep, y'all!

Weep for me, that is. 😉

(While I love this G75VW-BBK5, It's just NOT the nuclear reactor that many of yours are!)

Good luck!

Oh, & if someone could tell my what I'm doing incorrectly such that I'm apparently not getting the recommended 1920 X 1080 resolution (which is what my display is set to in these images), I'd sure appreciate it. (Didn't notice it until running these tests...)

Thank you Skull6 guys like you are who I actually wanted to take part. For the fun of it, not for the winning of it.

Mate I need your CPU frequency please. 🙂 Without that I can not post your magnificent contribution.

Actually the point of the exercise is not to simply post one best submission, but to show the progression and to share between competitors the path travelled to the final or best submission from each participant.

So for example we have Zka who has gone from a 2700K processor to a IVy. We have had the exploration of processors and ram by Myk, Arne has learnt more about ram and his board in two weeks than he did in the last year or so.

It all about being part of something and not about the results. At least not totally. 😄

So post away and share what you have learnt and what you are planning.
