intel burn test question

i am only getting 16-20 gflops with my cpu. is that normal?

i went into my BIOS and enabled 1 core per compute unit (you know what i mean sorry ive been awake for 20 hours) now im getting 31 gflops at 2.6ghz

It depends on how much ram you're using. Use maximum for a more accurate gflops but that does sound very low. I get 101 with HT on, with HT off it would higher but I've not tried.

Here are my results. 

edit: tried setting it back to stock settings and it would dip into the 12gflop range

yes even tried running stock and same results even less flops

Had a look on google and your chip should be somewhere in the 63Gflops area. Definitely an issue somewhere I just don't know where it could be, seen others running with a voltage of 1.55 volts... How does that compare to yours?JohnF111

stock settings on my cpu are 1.2 something volts. tried 1.36 and still same results. this is so frustrating

Hows ya RAM, just tweaked mine got and my Gflops went up to 103acanofcoke

my ram is running stock the only thing i have OCed is the multiplier and raised voltage. (1866)

Isn't the FX series the one that Windows released a couple of patches to fix performance? Have you installed the patches? I don't think they appear in Window Update.

Patch 1

Patch 2

I doubt they'll miraculously improve performance by 600% but you never know, it might be the missing link. Install the Schedular patch first, then the Core Parking one second(It's what the internet says anyway).

they do not.. they got pulled from the line-up of windows updates... however they are still availible for download... I would post links to them but for the life of me i cant find them at the moment

Thats interesting I'm getting 120 GFLOPS but my time is almost 400s, might have to do with me still running tons of things. I'll try it later and see what I get

So i have to email microsoft to get my cpu working right?

edit: so i recieved the emails but one of them wont open and i tried sending it again through the website but it gives me an error when trying to open the email.

edit: when i tried to install the fix it said that it is not applicable to my computer

why can i not install the hotfixes?

user error?

normally if you've downloaded it, and then run the file, it will pop up a windows update like screen, check system compatibility, tell you if you need it or not. etc.

it says it doesnt apply to my system but clearly it should

Try a different benchmark to see if it's just burn test or actually your CPU.

If it runs fine everywhere else stop worrying.

i tried my old 9500 2.2 phenom and it scored the same as my 4.6 8150 (21gflops) :/

I guess what im trying to say is why does my cpu score WAY lower than other people with the same CPU?

Might be worth giving the socket a blow and reseating the CPU. acanofcoke

I only use 4 cores because of my overclock. i tried each individual stick of ram plus a completely different set of 2x4gb. to no avail. seriously why are my computers always having weird problems that are unexplainable... ugh ugh ugh

IBT readings are unreliable. A simple voltage change in bios can either raise or lower the rating.

But that is a very low rating. If your not having issues with games or what ever you do... I wouldn't worry about it.

I have the same CPU just clocked lower at 4GHz and I only get 75 GFLOPS, any idea whats wrong?

Ram? I have faster ram / in quad channel. I dont know the rest of your specs

I have 16GB DDR3 quad channel RAM but running at 1600 Mhz. you think that makes that much difference? Well, at least in this test...

Yes. I dont have any programs that use all 8 cores. and with half of them disabled it actually improved my FPS in alot of games

Yeah some tests (especially in physics calculations) cache and memory spead play a huge role. But it shouldnt be THAT big of a difference. Try some other cpu test like that cinebench and let me know what u get

It was the best amd CPU out at the time, and i was building an AMD rig/ nvidia GPU

Lol i didnt even look at any reviews and i wasnt into the forums at the time. although i had been years ago. I got the best CPU according to the tech specs. obviously the times have changed. and with it overclocked im on par with 2600k
