After spending some time going over Y-Cruncher VT3 test results, 2 days ago after speaking to a few people over on OCN about test sizes, i began using different size tests to see how it effects VT3 result.
and iv'e cracked it after spending 12 hours straight then left PC on overnight downloading a game i'd not installed yet, then yesterday morning 8 am began testing different sizes again.
if you look at each test size then check HWInfo Virtual Memory usage as well as page file it increases when i increase the test size, also if you notice as the test size goes up the score drastically reduces, and its nothing to do with not being stable or clock speed, L3 Cache speed. test size must be kept below that WALL or you'll get 1.05-08 every time and you cant measure that. its not an official reading.
its simply VT3 running out of ram (Headroom) and dives into page filing, when it does this your score will be 1.05-1.08 maybe 1.1, this is just how fast information moves from your hard drive, as it the slowest speed, that's what you're seeing. Background tasks, open apps, windows itself, if test size is say 20gb or you use AUTO and get 1.05 you seeing that WALL, reduce test size
Every system will have a WALL if it hits that wall its using PAGE FILE, rinse and repeat until your score goes up, iv'e found on my system 16-18.5gb test size gives best results before diminishing returns and page file dips in. these are all shown in screenshots
On top of that i'd got a message from a dear redditor just after i'd done 22+ hours of Y-Cruncher over 48 hours on the same boot, saying this 8500 profile WOULD NOT PASS P95 LARGE for longer than 20 mins, unfortunately i had already closed HWInfo down but believe me this is still on the same boot
