Hello guys,

this Weekend our Team was guest on the nice Time 2 Frag -respawn-
much thanks to all Organisation Members!

Our plan was that we Friday recived the Dewar and test our Setup with GX2 over the night... Saturday we change the grafix gard to GTX 280
and in the Evening we have a little live overclocking show on beamer.

BUT...
Friday, we have some problems with the GX2...
nothing runs on LN2, so we decide to change to air cooling

good BUT we have heavy problems with water on the board...
we decide to go to bed and insulate the board in the morning.

Very good desicion!!!
XFX Board with P04 BIOS was the right way, CPU Runs fine @ 5,6 GHz through
all singlecore 3D Benches, 5,5 @ 06 and Vantage... :p:

Card goes to 770/1100 on air without any mods, like all GX2 :D

Setup:

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 C1 (1,98V idle)
XFX 790i Ultra SLI P04 BIOS
OCZ ReaperX 1333 6-5-5
BFG Tech 9800GX2 (no mods)
Corsair HX1000W
WinXP SP3 Tweaked


Big Thanks to Intel for the nice CPU, BFG for the great Graphics Card, Corsair for the leading Powersupply and Mushkin for the 4GB DDR2 kit for our winplay.

With GTX 280 on LN2 we cant recived good scores
in everey Benchmark card have much problems with the Voltage...

After the good moring we want to test HD 2900 Pro BUT nothing runs like it must.
CPU have some heavy problems, so we decide to flash XFX BIOS to P05V2 but it was the newst on XFX website :shakes:

very bad desicison! Board dosnt starts after flashing :down::down::down:
so we change to BlackOps BUT CPU runs not good, more than 4,8 wasn possible nobody knows why :confused:

we must cancel the live show, but we are lucky that we have some scores.
