how you wanna cheat? hehe

Of course, there is no cheat is allowed!!!

Its not hard to reach 4.5GHz for other platform(1156). Furthermore Super PI is single thread benchmark.

Clock per clock efficiency is not there!

By entering to this online challenge, you are agree to abide by the rules and regulations set forth.

Otherwise, take a cup of coffee and chill it and stay COOL!!!!!!

Less than 10 hours. Standby urs results!!

Who's already gotten results? I'm deciding whether I should try 1.6x vcore for this

---

Added on September 25, 2011, 9:36 pmoh question. Do I have to use the same settings? Can I disable all cores and just use 1 core for superpi?

This post has been edited by AlamakLor: Sep 25 2011, 09:36 PM

well..i believe superpi is capped at 4.5Ghz.

where most sandy can do that with all cores on

I'm not sure about that:

Added on September 25, 2011, 10:21 pmI don't think it is capped. At 5.1ghz I can't even make it to the Oc.net list. lol
