Here is what I could manage after a bit of playtime ;)
Just curious as to what our resident overclockers and tweakers think of it???

 
Excellent tweaking....but u can always raise the bar more :)

our score @ 4680 Mhz was 9.672s ...so at 4599 Mhz 9.812s seems quite well tweaked. But from the screenshot ...I think 9.7xx is possible :P
 
Hmm just to see i ran the exact same speed though my windows install is now seriously dirty with AV / loads of games, daemontools, and god knows what running. Guess what time came up..........:P

:P

As usual i did stop Antivirus live protection which continuously scans the system. And shut down the torrents.

High priority was selected to make sure that SuperPi gets the processor time as there are over 45 processes running in background.

Fresh install numbers after DFI comes :D
 
not even with the SSD. iram may boost the scores a little. I was going though the hwbot scores. and all the scores in the 9.7 range are over 4700Mhz. Actually all scores in 9.81 region are also 4.7G+.

dont flame me for this statement but IP35's has some sort of bug they say which makes superpi run faster. Funky I think you will be able to prove this statement right or wrong once your DFI comes.

It cant be called as a bug but yes, if you want faster time for same clock, P35 is the way to go. From the looks of it, clock per clock P35 is faster than, X38/X48 and good old P965 as well.

Also it depends and varies on the board. IP35 is very good board. But even plain P5K series is able to match IP35.

I will be receiving DFI soon anyway. Will surely check.

Hehe nothing to flame you :)

Well the thing is that the Abit P35 series the chipset timings are quite tight when u compare to the P5K/Maximus Formula.In fact there is diff even between different BIOS. Some BIOS gets a bit better but doesn't scale much on FSB...while on other its slower but the FSB scale higher.

Funky is right with the timing thing of the P35 being faster than X38/P965. In fact the asus P5B deluxe scales higher in FSB than the P35 series frm Abit in many cases.

As of the 9.7xx at 4.6Ghz :P...may be a 9.799 should be possible :)

I dont have the E8400 with me anymore ...otherwise would have given it a try on the Tiny XP with a RAM drive :)
 
So all the things settled now?? I think I can say no "major" tweaks used by anyone here.. its da board which is making the difference. Also that my run on MARS @ 5.5G is as good as it gets with that board. :ohyeah:
Reason being it was meant to be used mostly with quads and quads require loose internal timings for clocking as I have experienced with Gigabyte X48 and X38 [both supporting FSB 1600 based QX9770]. :cool2:

Hmm, how about a PP of 44500? :P The board helped ya get down to 45100 level, maybe some "major" tweaks required now?

This is one of the prime reasons that even after subcooling the chipset, its difficult to push FSB on the IP35-PRO :) We found out about the IP35 Advantage couple of weeks back... and therefore used it for the max run, instead of the QuadGT (which was better clocking, but not by much) because even after heavy tweaking, it gave PP of 45700 (compared to 46500+ by others... "major" tweaks?)

Wats dat Kido-PP?? :)

@Harshal- Sorry.. Cant edit the thread.. :(

major tweaks would mean better ram timings and less windows services(by 10 different means maybe), which i think no one would know better than you(atleast in India, :) ), and i am sure you already tweak this much.

there are limits to that. Specially 1M runs. You can save few seconds by closing all unnecessary services when doing 32M run. but 1M will hardly give ya 0.0x difference with all the tweaks in the book applied. With 1M you wont drop your time by say 0.05 seconds all of sudden with any tweak for that matter.
 
In India, I think Darky and Appo has so far pushed it to 9*582... not sure if some1 else managed to match them or cross that :)
