Hi all you 3770K + UD5H owners. This thread is for you! I'm hoping we can all share best practices to getting our rigs working as well as possible. I would like to propose that as a measure of general performance goodness, we share our GeekBench (64-bit please) scores. I'll start.
Mine is 14,768 and I have 2x8 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM. This is not overclocked in any way.
My mobo came with F4, but I flashed it to F7. I have played around with a number of BIOS settings and, so far, here's what has given me the best performance (differences from defaults):
M.I.T.
> Advanced Frequency Settings
> > Advanced CPU Core Features
> > > Intel Turbo Boost -> ENABLED AUTO
> > > Hyper-threading Technology -> ENABLED AUTO
> Advanced Frequency Settings
> > XMP Profile -> PROFILE1 (Your RAM may also have a 'Profile2' to test)
> > Performance Enhance -> TURBO or EXTREME
System
> ATA Port Information
> > [Disabled any unused ports]
BIOS Features
> Intel Virtualization Technology -> ENABLED
Peripherals
> VIA 1394 Controller -> DISABLED
> xCHI Mode -> AUTO (NOT Smart Auto)
> PCH LAN Controller -> DISABLED
> Init Display First -> IGFX (I'm using the HD4000)
Power Management
> Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN -> DELAY 4-SEC.
Using these settings, my GB score is 14,768 and my Geekbench/GHz rating is 4,219. Tonymacx86 has (had?) a similar system that scored 14,842 at stock speeds giving him a GB/GHz of 4,241. I think this is because his RAM has lower latency than mine.
I very much hope that nsbikes shows up here and shares what he has done with his system as he also has a very nice score, albeit overclocked. Regardless, his GB/GHz is the highest I've seen so far at 4,375!
Anyway, let's see what we can do with this setup!
EDIT: Added firmware version info (F7)
EDIT: Changed title of post
EDIT: After better analysis, it is best to leave the Advanced CPU Core Features set to AUTO.
