Preliminary Conroe SLI testing 7900GTX Air

[gocchin]

My GPU mousepots and C3's don't arrive till Tuesday so last night I tried some SLI on
the P5W DH with the 7900 GTX on air w/ Stock cooler and NO mods.

E6700ES B0 clocked at a conservative 4200mhz under ice.

Not bad for a start.

CPU: Intel Conroe E6700 ES QLLO B0 w/ Mousepot
Vcore: 1.65
Memory: OCZ PC2-8000 XTC 2gb
PSU: Powerstream 600w
GFX: Stock XFX 7900GTX x 2
Mobo: Asus P5W DH Deluxe unmodded

[BlackX]

Nice start ;) keep going :toast:

[gocchin]

Thanks guys, let's hope UPS shows up early Tuesday morning :)

[afireinside]

Nice :D Gotta love the basement setup. Why don't you insulate the mobo aroung socket? Don't want to bother with all the caps?

[Celcius]

Awesome, especially that aquamark3:D

[NickS]

That is a SICK AQ3 score! I just about shat when I saw that.

Very Nice Work Sir!! It will be fun to watch your progress!!

[gmod]

Very nice man. Can you do Stock 01 bench for me..No cpu or video OC...Thanks..

It also looks like you have just enough room to slide in a Sound card the the last pci...I was very worried about thanks for the pics

[Dynasty]

[guess2098]

@gocchin
any cold boot problem with P5W DH?

very nice job up:

[gocchin]

Denny, no cold boot problems at all. Using 0065. I didn't try any other bios but at -70C no problems booting up. :)

Vdroop is pretty bad on my board though... need to put in droop mod... :)

[ZX7891]

those scores are just insane

[vengance_01]

Just like what everyone eles said..... WOW :woot: I check this thread on tuesday when I get home after work

[SIOUX]

Nice work as always Gocchin:toast:

[Andrewv]

amazing, Futuremark's hall of frame waiting for you

[Micutzu]

Nice runs there, gocchin. I see you've used some insulation this time :D.

[Gautam]

Oooh! Painfully close to 72k and 50k. :D

[gmod]

I know its a pain for ya. But I would really like to see a completely stock 01 score from ya..Since this is basically the same system I will be getting. And Iam not the talented Ocer most of you guys are here... Thanks

[Gautam]

Here's some fodder for you my friend. CPU very relaxed on a Mach II unmodded, cards on air. Conroes sure know how to lay the smack on this 5 year old benchmark. :p:

With Conroe + SLi, WR in 3dmark is to easy.

Ouch, looks like one of my three AOpens. :D :(

Result of condensation?

Result of condensation?

Yup and it was a day after I had already dried the board out and went back to air. Ran a few 32m's on air and shut down the system but didn't turn the psu off... in the morning it was like that so the pcb was obviously still damp. :( Oh well things like that happen.... :rolleyes:

[gmod]

dam dude that sucks. I feel bad for ya.

[gocchin]

No worries... when we go extreme things like that happen. It's all part of the game. :D

Good attitude Tario :). As long as you don't repeat the same mistakes and get wiser from them. Nice work with the conroe/gtx :toast:. Keep pushin.
