Haswell Preview Benchmark - Page 44

If I had to pick, I would trust HWMonitor more than I would Speedfan. HWMonitor does a much better job of identifying hardware than Speedfan, which makes me feel like the product is better.

Plus, it's a low-functionality version of a product you can pay money for.

If your board is ASUS, there's a few neat features in AI Suite I might suggest you try (and a number of features I recommend you annihilate, equal to the number of total features minus the aforementioned few). One of them is the Overclock Button, which will give you at least a reasonable start. The other is yet another source for CPU temperatures.

Try CoreTemp at http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/.

I really like CoreTemp a lot. However, it freezes/BSOD's on both my haswell's and none else.

EDIT: Well SCREW that I rebooted this haswell and it works... not on the other one, though.

... very nice except for the two failures in your stress test. I was wondering why you were showing us your 50% load temps. The maximum temperatures are probably legit though. George, what were your specs again? Did you ever get a stable Haswell?

Why two Haswells are at 4.0GHz, DDR3-2400. Temps are upper 70s on one, low 80s on the other.

My 2-3 BSODs a week went away when I removed Windows 8 and replaced it with Ubuntu.

That's nice

What voltages for 4.0 GHz?

IIRC, its around 1.22V. I wasted a lot of time raising voltages trying to get Windows 8 stable. I haven't gone back to see how low I can go and have Ubuntu remain stable.

Settling for 4 GHz at 1.18V... diminished returns from RAM bottleneck.

TheMawn · 2014-01-30, 06:26

BTW have you run Memtest86+? Never discount the possibility of RAM being the culprit. Prime95 is essentially a RAM stress test if the RAM is the bottleneck.

Has anybody tried a system with Iris Pro/Crystal Well 128MB cache? Seems like it might have potential to keep everything in the cache - and even more so for smaller prime tests, probably.

Problem is systems with Iris Pro are hard to come by. Systems that are well cooled are harder still. But this Brix Pro looks interesting.
