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.

Oké on it.tomorrow hope to get nice score.there. Later mates. I am glad I joined I like this!

[Henkenator68NL]

Hey guys,

Couldn't help myself to give the SuperPi 1M another try .. I improved the score just a little bit !!!

To 7.161s !!

😄



This scores some nice points for the Team !!

Later on I will have a go at the 32M

Tada

[Zka17]

Good job, mate! Just don't forget that you will need to run the 32M with the same CPU frequency to have a valid submission for this competition...

[Henkenator68NL]

Wow thats good that you mention that .. I did forget about the fact that it has to be the same cpu freq. !

Thanks mate!

[HiVizMan]

I do have one request. Please guys I will be very disappointed if folks sand bag. If you are not sure what that is let google help you. I find the practice to be despicable.

The score board will be a live score board, and what the real aim of this thread is meant to do, is provide a platform for all ROG Supreme OC members to learn from each other how to bench 32 Mil. And I fully expect that the first score that Chino posted will be improved by him quite considerably before the end of the contest. As I expect all who participate to improve hugely during the contest submission period. Now the only way to do that is by submitting so we can have a base to work from. Submit and improve. 🙂

Well I googled ... but the meaning if that expression eludes me, ofcourse my English is not as good as yours, being you're native language.. Please explain

[HiVizMan]

LOL - sorry about that. And you might be surprised about what some folks have as a first language. 🙂

There are many very sad people in the world. For them it is so very very important to win. Makes no difference what it is but they feel they have to win. So when there are on-line contests like this some folks do not want to put up their scores until the very last minute. They are scared that people will see what they get, and will then try harder to beat it. Those kinds of people think that if they show what they have done it will reduce the chance they have of winning.

What that does is make contests very boring, that is why this is a challenge. Not a contest. The challenge is to learn how to run Super PI and gain knowledge in the tweaking, set up and management of a 2D benching system. You compete against yourself as much as against anyone else.

Once we have some entries on the leader board, I will start putting out some tweaks and best practices for 2D benching. And we will see how peoples score will improve. It is as I always say about the journey and not the outcome.

Hope that helps.

Oke here are my first submits for the Challenge.

Super Pi 1M: 7.232s

Super Pi 32M: 6m36.742s

I hope I have every point checked if not let me know !

[HiVizMan]

Thank you. Will update the leader board in the next two minutes 🙂

Updated and you are the new leader my friend.


It would be nice if you listed your hardware, make and model and stuff like that. Have a look at the second post of the thread for an example. But it is not the end of the world if you don't want to. 🙂

Here is my first attempt:

Hardware:
CPU - Intel Core i7-3930k @ 5000MHz
Mobo - Asus Rampage IV Extreme
Cooling - Water cooled: Swiftech Apogee HD, XSPC RX360, 6xCougar push-pull
Memory - Corsair Dominator Platinum @ 2133MHz

Picture of the system:



SuperPi 1M score: 7sec 737ms



SuperPi 32M score: 7min 43sec 196msec



Note: This is just my first attempt... like a starting point... - I'm about to start tweaking the memories! :cool:
