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.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Well, just keep the comparison among us... have you seen at what frequencies they're getting those low times? And what cooling?

Anyway, as I understood, here we're competing in efficiency scores, not timings... 🙂

You have a nice Chip there, Henk. Mines wouldn't even let me get into Windows @ 1.6v. Much less being stable lol.

How are your temps with the stock fan?

Just a word to the wise. You have as much chance to win on air as you do with water. 🙂

Yeah, wanted to type "times"... - but I think because of the "efficiency score" this competition is really exciting! That's why the CPU doesn't really matter... actually getting lower SuperPi times with lower CPU frequency should be more efficient... - and that's already about fine tuning! That's how we can learn from this competition... :cool:

Very well thought, HiVizMan!

@ Chino : I am not sure about the temp it was 67 degrees celcius i believe

@HiVizMan:
are you going to keep a "running" score board, so we can see who is in the lead? Might give me some more insight in the score you are going to calculate and hopefully can do something with that to try to improve..

I think, he does, Henke... the thing is that right now Chino's submission is the only valid one... - that's why I was curious about your 32M results...
