hard reset, ensure all non-essential programs are closed, run this, and post your result nyandood;

feel free to submit benchmarx of any other kind as well i guess lol

Any ideas? y/n

lol when i first ran this benchmark almost exactly two years ago, the 970 was the standard to which all gpus were compared, which put my pc with its fury comfortably in the ufo range

once they made the 1070 the standard, my pc became just a battleship :'(

Quote from: Snowy on August 19, 2018, 05:34:26 PMWD Blues aren't the fastest drives. Is it at least a 7200rpm HDD?

it is, but userbenchmark compares the performance of components within a single model, not to all other possible models/types of that component

so my wd blue is significantly underperforming compared to other wd blues, not compared to hdds in general

i can't think of any good reason why my particular wd blue would rank so poorly vs. other wd blues lol, i mean it's the very same device as all the others and my use of it is p. typical as far as i know

yeah i made certain that no non-essential programs were writing/reading, and i even ran the benchmark several times and the result is quite consistent lol :'(

i'm not sure what could have changed because my much earlier benchmarks with this same drive show it significantly outperforming other wd blues:

benchmarks are never perfectly consistent, for example something like windows defender deciding to flare up in the midst of a cpu run could artificially deflate your score

but that's why it makes sense to run a benchmark several times and get an average lol

MBD: Lenovo 90H50000US (http://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Lenovo-90H50000US/99079)

Overall this PC is performing as expected (52nd percentile). This means that out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 48 performed better. The overall PC percentile is the average of each of its individual components.

With a brilliant single core score, this CPU is the business: It demolishes everyday tasks such as web browsing, office apps and audio/video playback. Additionally this processor can handle moderate workstation, and even light server workloads. Finally, with a gaming score of 83.9%, this CPUs suitability for 3D gaming is excellent.

68.3% is a good 3D score. This GPU can handle the majority of recent games at high resolutions and ultra detail levels.

16GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows and it's more than sufficient for nearly all games. 16GB also allows for very large file and system caches, software development and batch photo editing/processing.

Windows 10 is the most recent version of Windows, and the best to date in our opinion.

n that test after getting it stable at [email protected]. I brought it back down to 4ghz, but I'm wondering if overclocking it is messing with multi-thread workloads? that's where I'm losing the most of my score.

try setting it back to its default frequency and running it again, it's possible that you've overclocked it just past its sweet spot

Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on November 23, 2018, 10:33:12 AM
4.4ghz is about as high as zen+ gets, yes

zen 2 is being manufactured by tsmc though, and their process is ostensibly superior to globalfoundries'

if that fact plus the node shrink allow for frequencies closer to 5ghz, it would massively erode the advantage intel maintains over amd presently

5ghz might be a little optimistic though lol but here's hoping

On a related note, a few days ago I managed to circumvent Intel's artificially imposed overclocking restrictions and boost my i5 6500 to a very stable ~4.1ghz.

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/12307676

QuoteUserBenchmarks: Game 79%, Desk 69%, Work 51%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 - 94.6%
GPU: AMD R9 Fury - 82.2%
SSD: PNY CS1311 240GB - 86.7%
HDD: Toshiba X300 5TB - 109.4%
RAM: Unknown 3200 C16 Series 2x8GB - 106.8%
MBD: Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5

From an average bench of ~70% to 94.6%. Oh my goodness. goowan

that's a free a 25% performance boost, which makes it about equal to the 7700k and puts it ahead of the 2600x, which is just nuts for a 2015-era i5

in put me in the top 1% of 6500 benchmarks lol

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Intel-Core-i5-6500/Rating/3513

and that's with intel's standard cooler, which is terrible

in light of this, i yesterday ordered a 212 evo which should hopefully allow me to clock it even higher, apparently some 6500s can get as high as 4.4ghz which would be AWESOME

But it's simply absurd that Intel deliberately sabotages is own products so massively just to make their most expensive processors seem more valuable. Is it really necessary to handicap a fine chip by as much as 25%+ just to create more pricing tiers? SocksDood;

it's total bullsh@ that beyond skylake they've made overclocking non-Ks completely impossible and that there are so many cpus forced to perform well below their potential

it actually costs them money to develop chipsets and software that strictly forbid overclocking and they're only doing that out of pettiness and spite

jesus fuck; incel's business practices lol

What's truly amazing is that even at that speed, even with that awful cooler, it's still well below 80°C 99% of the time. sillydood;

but yeah that's why i bought the 212 evo, the stock cooler is definitely inadequate and i don't want to accidentally create a bomb lol

Quote from: Snowy on November 25, 2018, 05:58:57 AMwhat was your avg temp with that oc on a stock cooler?

(https://i.imgur.com/AuwRGWo.png)

it averages around 54°C, but during stressful benchmarks (one of which i had just run to answer this question, so really the average is lower than 54°) it can breach the 80° mark, as you can see, which is why i need a new cooler lol

Speaking of which, I'm seriously considering returning the 212 Evo ($20) and getting one of those unsightly cream-brown Noctuas ($60) instead. smithicide;
Title: Re: PC BENCHMARX THREAD
Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on November 28, 2018, 08:05:22 PM
amazingly enough, the noctuas actually outperform many water coolers by great margins

(https://i.imgur.com/eaXJ3bq.jpg)

and then there's the 212 evo second from the bottom of the list

if i want to keep it overclocked it can't be much higher than 80° at full load, so my only real option is noctua lol

the 212 evo actually came in today but i'll have to just ship it right back

2013 sillydood;

and upon researching it definitely is obsolete, newer benchmarks suggest the 2018 h60 is vastly superior to the older one (then why on earth did they stick with the same name???), on par with and perhaps even superior to the noctua for about the same price

had i been aware of the h60's massive upgrade i would have considered it, but i've already received the noctua (in fact i've had it sitting here doing nothing for weeks smth;) and rakuten has a nonexistent return policy so w/e i guess lol goodjob;

anyway i'll finally install it sometime this week and see just how far i can push this 6500 nyandood;

oh yeah, more than two years later, the answer IS:

(https://i.imgur.com/2YvIJrv.jpg)

A tremendously respectable 4.48ghz. I've had it running stable at that frequency on air (Thanks Noctua™!) since shortly after Christman 2018. n_n

intel's inhumane choking of the 6500 locks it at 3.6ghz TOPS, but unlocking it with some simple hax got me a continuously solid 24% performance enhancement for over two years now :3

My record with this humble i5, however, is over 4.7ghz. sillydood;

(https://i.imgur.com/CPQkwoR.jpg)

was not at all stable at that frequency though rofl, could barely finish the benchmark and then insta-bsod when launching chrime, but i only wanted to test how far i could push it

lmao i've been saying this for well over two years now and the general ddr5 rollout STILL hasn't happened, year after year it gets delay after delay

it looks like it might finally be coming this year for real this time but i simply don't give an arse anymore

launch day ddr5 will be ddr5 at its highest price, lowest performance and lowest stability, it'll be years before it's a genuine dollar-for-dollar upgrade over the extremely fine and highly-refined tuning of mature ddr4

There's no doubt that I underestimated my needs (okay, "needs") when I first built this PC nearly five years ago. The humble i5 6500 and the rest of my build have served me well all that time, though I have been feeling the itch to upgrade for over 2.5 of those 5 years. At this point I think my current PC has earned a comfortable retirement. dittodood;
