Custom Memory Limits

[Conor]

Greetings PI Community

I've just upgraded my production rig (6 core AMD overclocked to 4GHz,
16GB RAM etc.) and I'd like to take full advantage of it's power with
PI. My main gripe is the apparent upper buffer size limit for operations
such as image integration. Is there any way of pushing the limit up
further than is allowed? Perhaps a command line argument, or a setting
in a configuration file?

I'm running Arch Linux x86_64. Many thanks in advance for your comments
and answers.

There is a preferences dialog that allows you to change the buffer size. Take a look at the ImageIntegration interfase.

BTW, how did the overclock result? Do you have the 1090T? I want to OC my 1055T, but since I never did that, I'm not sure what to do Is a 450W power source enough? Do I need another cooling system?

Hey Carlos

Yeah, I've seen that buffer size in the dialogue, but there's an upper
limit. I have the 1075T, overclocks like a dream. You'll definitely need
a better PSU. I've got a Corsair 850 HX. Corsair do great PSUs - the
output voltage is rock solid and stable. I have a pretty heavy duty water
cooling system with a separate cooling loop for the CPU and GPU. I've
heard many people talking about OC'ing the 1055T to 3.8GHz on aircooling...
That's fine if you live outside in Siberia, in my opinion. I'd recommend
going with water cooling but perhaps try small overclocks on air cooling
to get to know the theory behind it.

(Sorry for OT...)

My issue still remains. I've only been able to push the buffer size up
to 1 gig. Anyone have any ideas?
