Hello fellow ROGers,
While I was playing around with tweaking/optimizing my ROG Rig (
http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?18970-Optimizing-my-temporary-ROG-Rig&country=&status=), I’ve got poisoned… I realized that it’s a lot of fun pushing the hardware toward the limits, running benchmarks, comparing results with others… :cool:
In mean time, I also realized that I have a lot of components laying around, leftovers from other builds, some brand new stuff I never get to try or use them… Between others, a while ago I bought a test bench with the idea to test my setup before I would build in a case…
So, taken these together, I decided to go on the benching way… I’m opening this thread for primarily learning and posting my results – but, maybe others could use some infos from here…
I definitely will need to learn – so any comments, suggestions are very welcome! For now, I will leave the X58 platform and try to learn some other ones. I’m planning to use Asus mobos and graphic cards, at least for posting here… I want to do CPU and memory tweaking mostly from the BIOS, for the VGAs will try GPU Tweak and maybe something else too (if I feel that is causing lower limits).
For benchmarking, I will use mainly some of the software from hwbot.org (and will also submit there). I already made submissions with wPrime 32M, 1024M and PCMark7, will continue doing these – additionally, will use the SuperPi (32M) too. For memories will continue MaxxMem and Memory Clock. For the graphic card will use 3DMark11 (Performance) and Unigine Heaven (DX11).
So, that’s it for the introduction of this thread… presenting my TestBench will be the next… then I already have my first “vicitm”… :cool:
Please, let’s keep this thread a tool of learning for everyone… Remember, I'm doing it for reaching the limits...
🙂 and not for everyday's use... It’s about my TestBench (if you’re doing something similar, open your own thread)… but constructive comments, suggestions are very welcome… Thanks and enjoy!
