Those into computers and more specifically benchmarking should be familiar with Super Pi. For those who are not familiar, without going into a detailed explanation, Super Pi is a computer program used to benchmark your system and the results can be compared to other users who run the program on their computer. The faster your computer, the lower your score will be.
This is all fine and dandy, but for the obsessive overclocker like myself, it means spending hours tweaking your system to get the absolute best score possible. I created a Forum Thread at OCIA.net over a year ago for readers to post and compare their Super Pi scores with each other.
One of the guys who does reviews for me, Silenze, currently holds the #1 spot in the forum with a score of 13.235 seconds on the 1M test and has held the spot for over four months. There has been some new posts lately and Silenze casually made a comment about his score, which of course I took as a challenge!
I spent some time earlier tonight trying to better my score on the test system. I strapped on a 92mm Vantec Tornado fan to the heatsink (very loud, comparable to a hair dryer), added a 120mm fan to cool the chipset, repositioned the 120mm fan mounted on the Tech Station to blow over the motherboard instead of the lower hard drive rack and attached a CoolIt RAMfan.
Room temperatures in my apartment have been really hot lately, around 75 f and since my window unit A/C is broken, it will stay that way. Anyway, after a good bit of testing I was able to push the Core 2 Duo processor from its stock speed of 2,400 MHz up to 3,640 MHz. I also tinkered some with memory timings. For now, my best score is 14.140 - good enough for 2nd place in the forum thread but still .905 behind the top score. That doesn’t sound like much but believe me, it will take a lot of work to even get close to that… and I don’t really think I will be able to close the gap much more with this processor
