El_Capitan Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I got a hunch its more to do with the "tightness" of the boards bios... if the boards is geared for overclocking the looser the BIOS is... We're talking computers still, right... and not women? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 yea....but I see what you did there I could always try doing this on the server too... Its an ECS 785G / 955BE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
90sgamer Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) We're talking computers still, right... and not women? +1 I have never heard of this before... and it doesn't make a lot of sense. So... making a board more geared for overclocking involves reducing the CPUs overall performance in it via a "looser" BIOs? Are you sure you aren't talking about RAM timings? I'm just confused. Even if that was the case, I really, really doubt it would effect your handbrake fps that much.

Waco Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 nope those were tested... all good no errors.... I got a hunch its more to do with the "tightness" of the boards bios... if the boards is geared for overclocking the looser the BIOS is...thats wht I think the better boards are having a lower than normal score.... I plan to try and get a cheaper Biostar board to put the 1075t in and try it....and then swap in the other CPUs as well I think you've officially lost your marbles.

dr_bowtie Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 no not really... I learned this back in the days of DFI... the SLI-DR boards were the highest clockers but the poorest performers stock... To get to high clocks the board must Auto generate values to different things like Actual board frequencies, NB frequencies and then of coarse ram... I benched many boards and I found at the time an Asus little mATX to beat the SLI-DR in almost every aspect other than Overclocking potential... the Asus actually scored better at the boards Max of 230mhz fsb than the SLI-DR did at 280mhz fsb.... Make sense yet? most of you that dont swap boards and do side by side comparisons wont see it... most of the time I just build another rig and pit it against what i already have... this is how I found out the difference...this is where Synthetic benchmarks really dont tell real world performance like real world applications we use like Handbrake...

Waco Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Sure, but that only accounts for a small difference (a couple percent at most). You're talking about a difference of greater than 50% without taking into account that your CPU has 2 more cores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 no... it was much bigger than that on my initial testing back in the day... I am thinking its something still done... I'll have another board on the way soon to test the theory.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Between the same chipsets though? Have you tried taking the HDD from the first system and sticking it into the "slow" system? The hardware is close enough it should boot without any issues. You might try turning off Turbo Mode as well - I've heard it causes all sorts of issues on older chipsets (throttling when it shouldn't, etc). It's also possible your board is throttling due to overheated or overloaded VRMs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 taking the hard drive and swapping it and seeing what happens is the next plan. I know for a fact my board isnt over heating and throttling... her board gets twice as hot and almost hitting 80c on CPU temps... so heat isnt a factor here... Turbo is OFF on my CPU...

Waco Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 There's got to be something causing this...I'd be amazed it if were something in the BIOS unless there's a weird setting in there somewhere that's messed up. No manufacturer would release a BIOS with that much of a performance deficit...especially not on a high end board like that. That'd be like selling the board and telling people they'd be faster with a tri-core in another board than a six-core in this one.

dr_bowtie Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 well if you look both the MSI-890GXM-G65 and the Asus M4A89GTD-pro/USB3 both do it... with the Asus being the worst and its a much higher clocker... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Can you narrow it down using some CPU-related benchmarks? IE: Sandra or something similar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
