CPU on idle.

Intel new user here. So might take time. Few questions:
-BCLK default is 103. Should I change to 100?
-CPU voltage I set to manual but CPU manual voltage is auto. Do I need to set both voltage the same?
-AI Overclock tuner is manual.
-EPU Power saving mode is disabled.

My question is how come cpuz show as above? Shouldn't it show:
-Multiplier x41 as I set.
-Bus speed is 103
However, it is multiplier x41 during stress test. Is it normal like this for Intel cpu to downclock it self during idle?

-Don't exceed 101? Mine is 103...

-Should I just leave to 103 or can change to 100?
-So, how do we know how much for the vcore? Or it's try and error?
-Is it okay if I let speedstep on? Or would it affect oc'ing?
-Power management is custom, based on high performance but I surprised somehow Intel can auto downclock.
-AMD ex user so I'm abit slow with Intel.

-Out of topic, Legend86 is superb. The thing that not superb is Airpak are damn late delivering my parcel.

LoL... Thanks for the highlight. Read it but just want to be double sure.

Added on July 30, 2012, 12:51 pmEyh, for Intel cpu, is the stock voltage is the minimum for the cpu to work or I can reduce the stock voltage for stock clock like I did with AMD?

Start at 2000, sreenshot at 2347. 3 hour plus, nearly 4 hour while I post this:


I think enough for tonight. Lazy to try further. Will turn off generator at 0000 later. I'm sure tonight fuel are consume a lot than usual. Will check the temp at daytime because my ambient is high during daytime but cold during night time as I in jungle. Maybe if the temp are acceptable during daytime, I'll try to push further. Personally, I get more than I expected and I'm very happy with it.

Am I part of the list?

What ya mean 2/8 gb RAM stressed? For CPU stress test, use small FFT right? Or should I use In-place Large FFT?

Added on July 31, 2012, 7:45 amAnd based on RealTemp, what's wrong with the different temp. Especially the first core. Is it related to TIM apply method? I'm using the one that provided with CM Cooler and I apply the vertical method as I read at Arctic Cooling.

Okay, aku akan cuba nanti.

For CPU+RAM stress test, is Prime95 large is the best or Linx? Mind to share me what value I need to set for Linx? Linx and IntelBurnTest are the same right?

If I use Prime, Large or Custom? If custom, how much should I set.

My internet are freaking slow. Loading 1 minute if youtube take me nearly half an hour. Sometime bearly an hour. What to expect from satellite internet. Kay, thank you. Will try now.

Added on July 31, 2012, 12:48 pmWhy I get this with Linx:


Current date/time: Tue Jul 31 12:46:57 2012

CPU frequency: 3.400 GHz
Number of CPUs: 4
Number of threads: 4

Parameters are set to:

Number of tests : 1
Number of equations to solve (problem size) : 28171
Leading dimension of array : 28184
Number of trials to run : 20
Data alignment value (in Kbytes) : 4

No runs is allowed for C:\Program Files (x86)\LinX\linpack_xeon64.exe: not enough memory

I choose all memory, problem size is 28171.

How about this one boss? I can't set above 6000mb for ram though available memory is > 6000mb. Error regarding not enough swap will occur in Prime95. So, I just set to 6000 mb but seems like I'm stressing only 7.1gb of memory. How to max out?

Regarding the Linx, will try back again.

Added on July 31, 2012, 5:37 pmSeems like I misread the Prime95 as I wake up from sleep. Can run with 6500mb memory, and load is 7.58gb of ram... Will continue tonight... Hopefully stable. If yes, the I will push further.

But I can't run Linx boss. Same error even though I close other apps. Am I doing Linx wrong or my oc is not good? Now running Prime95 for 2 hour stressing RAM and CPU till I'm unable to use my PC. Now my memory comeback while I was oc'ing my AMD where during stress test, PC is unusable.

Good enough? Then it's a great news for a newbie like me. Hopefully my next gpu also golden chip. Hehe...

Do you means no Aero etc? Currently all AV, and other unnecessary apps are close and stopped.

Okay, will try tomorrow boss. BTW, Prime95 started at 1730 until 2130 RAM and CPU fully stress, working fine. I lazy to take screenshot as opening apps will make my system lag due to low memory warning. Now need to off generator. Have problem... I thought can Primed until 2300 tonight.

Thanks for the advice boss. Hehe... Tomorrow will try. I wish I still working at city instead of at jungle now. So boss, you run Linx then no need to run Prime?

Added on July 31, 2012, 11:21 pmBTW boss, I just try to execute Linx just now. Only able to run at 5120 memory. Is that good enough? Hmm... Will try revert to stock setting tomorrow and try max memory.

-Linx run at 1300H. It's very warm in my room. *phew!*
-Idle temp at night is:
>Core 0 32c
>Core 1 39c
>Core 2 34c
>Core 3 35c
-Linx finished. (Memory "All")
-Run in "Diagnostic mode".
-1.165v in bios.
-Load line calibration "Extra high"

4.5ghz


Another Linx session. Run since about 2200H.
-Linx finished. (Memory "All")
-Run in "Diagnostic mode".
-1.180v in bios.
-Load line calibration "Extra high"

4.6ghz


No problem for 4.6ghz, Prime95 and Linx. Haven't try IBT yet. However sometime my pc crash during gaming or difficult to turn on. Based on stress test tool, it's stable. I run the test for 3-4 times. However, I won't say it's stable since my 4.5ghz doesn't have any issue. Will try further at September and see how far it can go after holiday.

How to check GFlops? Actually, my OS is SP1 (pirated ). Will try again later. Thanks for the info mate.

I mean how to check GFlops for non SP1 or SP1? Or the value/ score specifically. Sure, and passed Prime95 and Linx but no screenshot of Prime. Prime run for 5 hour. Why not 24 hour? Because I'm using generator for electricity. About which stress the max, I leave that one on another side since it's still debatable. Some will pass Linx, fail Prime95. Some past Prime95, but fail Linx.

And for cooling, check my sig. I say it's the best cooler. Good cooling with good clearance. The reason I didn't pick Noctua, because I'm afraid of space clearance. And seems like very difficult remove ram even if the fan removed.

So, are you saying that Noctua is better than my current cooler? Or what you mean is, time for watercooling? There is this review where CM Hyper 612S perform better than NH-D14.

Yeah, I also been wondering this. Another thing that unfinished debate is OCCT vs other apps.

I don't think it's the best value when combo with 2 Gentle Typhoon fan. Hmmm... Let's see how the cooler performance later when I stress my CPU with the right way.

I guess this review are not that spesific:
