Release CPU stress test


One thing I did notice is the pandora getting rather hot in the area between the nubs. :unsure:


Anyone else getting that?
 
Takedown: yes, it gets hot. That's not surprising with a cpu stress test. Mine reached temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius (while room temperature was around 20; it was also charging though). Nothing to worry about.


Updating the aggregated info:


- original (CC) Pandora: 778 (onpon4), 928 (TrashyMG), <936 (Linux-SWAT), 946 (Googer), 956 (PokeParadox), 957 (Fahrstuhl), 967 (Takedown), 969 (ZXDunny), 1006 (Ian J)


- Rebirth (GC) Pandora: 956 (apersonthinks), 985 or 989 (TrashyMG), 999 (_wb_)


- 1GHz Pandora: 1175, 1178 (foft), 1214 (kamui_kun)


So far, the median is 956.5 MHz for the original CC Pandora, and 987 MHz for the Rebirth one.


How do you get the OPP 3 and OPP 4 numbers? When I try the test, it always goes to OPP 5.

Change your max OPP.


Set Max OPP to 3 then run to get best OPP3 speed then..


Set Max OPP to 4 etc...

- Rebirth (GC) Pandora: 956 (apersonthinks), 985 or 989 (TrashyMG), 988 (ParadisoShlee), 999 (_wb_)


- 1GHz Pandora: 1166 (foft), 1214 (kamui_kun)


Original CC model average so far: 942 (based on 10 data points); if you remove the two extremes (onpon4 and Ian J), the average is 954.6; median=956.5


Rebirth GC model average so far: 982.5 (based on 4 data points); median=987.5


1GHz model average: 1190 (based on only 2 data points)


It looks like the average GC model is 30-40 MHz faster than the average CC model. The variation in the CC models seems to be larger: 228 MHz difference between slowest and fastest, while this difference is only 43 MHz for the GC models - but then again there is less data for the GC models.
 
Busy testing at the moment... CC 256mb Pandora. Currently sitting at 981Mhz @ OPP 5 ... and still dropping... Will post final results when no more errors are detected for at least an hour.


When I tested at OPP3 I started at 650Mhz and left the house for a couple of hours... when I returned it had obviosly peaked and had started dropping - except that my unit had completely *frozen* at 845Mhz... why did it do this? I had to hard-reset.


I restarted the test at 845Mhz... it climbed to 849Mhz and froze again.


That's when I changed maximum OPP to 5 and maximum allowed Mhz to 1010 ... I started the test at 1000Mhz. It climbed to 1007, then dropped down to 1002 and froze as before. So I hard-reset and changed maximum allowed Mhz to 1000 and started the test again from 1000Mhz.


It hasn't frozen yet and has now dropped down to 980Mhz.... still testing.


So my question is - How do I go about testing for OPP 3 and OPP 4? Should I, seeing as my unit froze at 845Mhz on OPP3, then set maximum allowed Mhz to 844 and test from there?
 
CC 256MB Pandora here.


OPP5


I started at 950 based on my own previous experiences. It quickly reached 997 before starting a gradual decrease. After an hour or so it's now at 982Mhz. It was dropping every few minutes but seems to have settled here for the last 15 minutes or more. I'll give it another hour and then post my results.

you forgot to add mine.


at OPP5 it was over 1000, But I don't like going beyond that so I didn't experiment to find the exact value.


For medium activity use I find my Pandora is stable at 900 MHz at OPP3.

My unit also dropped 1Mhz every few minutes untill it reached 985Mhz... then the gaps got longer to about 10-15min. It's been sitting stable @ 980Mhz for about 19min now.... Here's holding thumbs it stays there ;)


EDIT: Darn it! Just dropped down to 979Mhz after staying at 980Mhz for roughly 32Min!!!! Drat! :)


EDIT EDIT: Down to 978Mhz after 24min @ 979Mhz... and on we go...


EDITEDITEDIT: Wierd... It dropped to 977Mhz after only 3min!? o.o

Notaz' test first goes up, and then it goes back down. So it's quite possible that it goes over 1000 first, but then goes back down a lot (e.g. mine goes to 1050 or so before it finds the first error, but then in the more thorough testing, it still found an error at 1000). This is why I cannot include your number, because it's likely to be higher than the actual safe speed.

Yes, if it froze then it's clearly not safe, so you should try lower values.

Onpon4: did you test at OPP5 or OPP3?

Ah I see, my mistake. :)
 
CC 256MB Pandora OPP5


After another hour I've dropped from 982 to 978Mhz where it's been stable for the last 20 minutes. I'll give it one more hour and leave it at that.


ToaD


EDIT: Another hour and I've dropped to 976Mhz I'm going to give my Pandora a break now ... It deserves it :)


I may try OPP3 later
