Just post the screen shot harjun, there is no point of posting a screen shot saying its something its not. You could have saved yourself 10 posts of grief and 10 post I've had to read.
It only used one core though and I had a fair bit of other stuff running, so that could be much faster.
I've had a play with overclocking and a couple of voltage increases today and last night. It's standard speed is 2.2GHz. At 2.46GHz with a Zalman CNPS9700 it idles at around 37 degrees and maxes at around 55, so I can push it a bit further I think.
I think that shows its a load of crap. Anyway, that 20 second screenshot said 3.0Ghz when you recalculate for speedstep. So i don't see how 200Mhz could possibly = a 4 second drop in calculation time.
but i'm on my laptop and i'll proove it when i get my Thermalright Ultra Extreme next week...when i don't have to run it over 75 Celcius...its dangerous, i put it on 3.2Ghz...but it went till 80C after it finished the Pi calculations....i dont wanna do it again
Then why not post the screenshot? You said that you had a screenshot of it. To be honest, I don't belive you one bit that you got such a low time.
Just stop posting, or something.
It will make some difference but not as much as booting into safe mode. Then you've got no extra processes running so superpi takes full priority. Safe mode dropped my time by a couple seconds.
