I7 965 - RE2 Extreme: First Results on the Mini-Cascade - 5.2G Spi32m and 3DMark 2005

[Pedro Rocha]

Tanks to Duniek I receive 2 1336 mounting kits for my Cascades..

First I want to see how far can my I7 965 go on the silent Mini-Cascade (2 Vapochill 404a Compressors)

Setup:
- I7 965EE 3835A538 - Vcore 1.52v
- Asus Rampage II Extreme
- 3 DDR3 Sticks Cellshock 14400 - VMem 1.80v

SuperPI 1M @ 5.200Mhz- 4 Cores + HT

SuperPI 32M @ 5.100Mhz - 4 Cores

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/I7965_5100_spi32m.JPG


SuperPi times not optimized and keeping vcore and unclok mem speed low for now...


Also did a run of the hard CPU test on 3Dmark2006 with 4 Cores + HT enable...

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/I7965_4800_3Dm06CPU.JPG

Not to bad - this sure will improve in the big rotary cascade and with more VCore..

Hope will pass Vantage at near 4.9GHz


That's it for now ...

;)

[T_Flight]

Impressive! Most Impressive! :)

[George_o/c]

Great stuff Pedro :up: Nice 1M run, for a not-optimised one ;)
32M yeah, has a lot of room for improvements :)


Hope will pass Vantage at near 4.9Mhz

I hope you mean 4.9GHz :p: 'Cause that would be a disaster (an i7 cpu that can't pull off Vantage CPU test @ 4.9MHz, is absolutely non-acceptible :D)

4.8GHz 3D Mark 06 is nice :yepp: Maybe 5GHz+ on your monster cascade ?

[Pedro Rocha]

32M yeah, has a lot of room for improvements :)

Heheh ..sure 4.9Ghz :D

Thanks.. corrected

Sure there is room for improvement in Superpi times :yepp:

[Pedro Rocha]

Well not bad, it pass Vantage CPU Test at 4.8GHz in the Mini-Cascade:

This bench is really very hard for the mini-cascade - evap temps droop from -90ºC to 65ºC :eek::eek:

Seems I need to mount this setup on the big rotary cascade - 1366 mounting kit assembled ..let's see how far it goes since the noisy rotary hold much better the load on quad cores

Heres is a photo of the rotary cascade evap with mounting kit

Finally here is a WPrime 32M with 8 threads

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/I7965_5000wPrime22M.JPG

That's it for today ..;)

[dinos22]

wow dude -90 to -65 :shocked:

looking forward to your runs man :up:

[George_o/c]

Oh ... hadn't seen that bad-ass dual stage cascade of yours on action, for a long time ! Nice wPrime run Pedro :up:

Time for some 3D Mark testing now ... :yepp:

2k1 though, isn't getting any better with these CPUs :(

[massman]

Always nice to read your threads, Pedro :up:

[crustytheclown]

Great great chip you got there...
Try tweak your 32m run and maybe sub timmings and you're there.
Keep us updated

[SiuL]

Very nice PT on power

[Kabauterman]

Very impressive Predo!

realy nice CPU what you got there

but not so good Pi Performance :) must tweak more ;)

[giorgos th.]

Nice work there Pedro....
we have the exact same batch my friend...

[Duniek]

nice scores for firts try :D

[Pedro Rocha]

OK, CPU still is on the Mini-Cascade, here is some 3D Benchs with 2 Stock GTX280's ...


3DMark2006

Compare link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9024420

Really love that 9119 CPU Score :D


3DMark 2005

Compare link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=4617123

More than 40K - not bad for 2 stock green cards :)


Aquamark

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/354KAquamarkI7_5100.JPG

No problem runnig this bench at 5.1GHz even with 4 cores + HT;)


As you may already know - 2001 it's not a game for I7 - 180.xx drivers does not like Nature at all

Next I will do some Vantage - need to install a clen Vista and the 3rd GTX280 for Tri-SLI, let's see how far can it go

:)

[Oliver]

thx for updating again Pedro, sweet work 4 sure

[SoF]

wow this looks great pedro - interesting reads about 8 threaded heat :D :D :D show one 01 only please...just to know how bad it sucks ;) 1m is also not a good game with this platform but 32m is killer :clap:

[Hyperhorn]

Very nice clocks, haven't seen many 5.2+ benches on i7 so far. :)
Would be nice to see a tweaked 32M-run. :yepp:

[Pedro Rocha]

wow this looks great pedro - interesting reads about 8 threaded heat :D :D :D show one 01 only please...just to know how bad it sucks ;) 1m is also not a good game with this platform but 32m is killer :clap:

Hi my german friend :)

I think it's not only 32m that is a killer with the I7 - better check this :

:D:D

[SoF]

oh buddy I totally missed this is '05 280GTX SLI record :eek: sometimes I need a little slap to realize it's time to change :D (oh man for our US friends - hope obama reads this :rofl: :ROTF: )
good to see you on top again :toast:

[tiborrr]

Congrats, Pedro! :up: Strap a mini cascade to one GTX card and the real cascade to your i965 and then run AM3 :)

:D:D
damn dude
wish i had a 5GHz nehalem heheheh
nice going with '05 :D

[purecain]

brilliant chip.... looks like you had some fun... so many new toys to play with.....

[giorgos th.]

Sorry to spoil the thread but i`m very very happy atm with the performance....
Pedro remember?same batch here...:D
load temps ~ -44C...simple phase change cooling here..
1.275Vqpi,1.84Vdimm..
CAS +1 from what cpu-z reads in each test..

[mongoled]

There is something I cant understand, Pedro Rocha is using a mini cascade and is hitting -65C on load and clocking to 5.2Ghz. Giogios is at -44C and is just closing in on 5Ghz

How can someone on air be benching at 5.0Ghz :confused:

Cherry picked CPU or not, looks like there are other reasons for the 5.0 Ghz clock

Or everybody is getting bad overclocking CPUs, LOL, which I wouldnt believe is the case.

-- EDIT --

Soz for the offtopic, just noticed that Omega3 in the other thread is on LN2 and he is just passing 5 Ghz, that air clock just aint normal

[Harshal]

Man congrats on those numbers.. nice HWBOT damage as well :D

@ Dino... I am able to run till -86 after which system shuts down!! 06 and vantage CPU tests @ 475X with -75.
Too bad chip goes back on Monday :(

[Bullet92]

Congrats Pedro, that's one good chip.
Nice 3D damage , keep it up :D

[Pedro Rocha]

Heres is some improvements..

CPU still cooled by the silent mini-cascade :D

Superpi 1M at near 5.3G

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/Spi1m5276.JPG


And a better Superpi 32M

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/SPi32M-7-19.JPG


Not specially tweaked, need to learn a lot how to tweak superpi 32M with the wizzards from Team Japan :)


Also did an Aquamark run, result seems quite nice considering I'm using 2 stock GTX280's with very low OC (only 700 on core), here is the result:

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/363KAquamark.jpg


And 41K in 2005 - quite a respectable score for 2 stock cards :yepp:

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/41093-2005-gtx280sli.jpg


This retail seems not bad considering the cooling (evap temps around -88ºC load on superpi and lot worst on Vantage cpu test).

Just for fun, also I did some 3D action with 3 9800GTX's in TriSLI, I will post results later ...

;)

[Bullet92]

Yeah Pedro.. you have to learn some serious 32M tweaks and go to sub7min :D
Very nice result you've got there...

Waiting for 3way SLI results ;)

[Nordling]

I Waiting 3way SLI too, it's realy good cpu Pedro Rocha!

[Pedro Rocha]

Seems my CPU really likes the 29 multiplier :D

Here is some results with CPU in the mini-cascade (evap at -88 on spi / -75 2006 - but very silent) :yepp:


Superpi 32M @ 5.200Mhz

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/SPi32M-7-13-5200.JPG


PIFast @ 5.200Mhz

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/I7965_PiFast-5200.JPG


Even run 3DMark 2005 @ 5.200Mhz :D - result with 2 Stock GTX280

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/41480-2005-i7965-5200.JPG


And now let's how it goes on 2006 with CPU test that is realy hard for the mini-cascade - max with 30x was 4.8GHz and with 29x I can run 2006 at 4.9GHz :)

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/30426-06-i7-4900-GTX280.JPG

9262 CPU test :D - hope it can also pass Vantage at 4.9GHz - maybe it will since the CPU test load on Vantage is similar to the load produce by the 06 test ..


What is killing my scores is DDR3 - do not have any fancy new Tri-Chanell kit, I'm still using 2x2 + 1 Cellshock 14400

Hello Corsair, need your help :D

Where is the best I can get for these old sticks:

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/I7965_ddr3_1970-1t.jpg


This weekend gonna try Tri-SLI let's see how far it goes..

The CPU seems quite nice for a retail :D

:cool:

[AndreYang]

wow~~~nice. I still cannot believe your chip is so good.:up:

[T_M]

Great chip and a great cascade :)
That 32M is going to go crazy when you tweak it up and run tri-channel

[giorgos th.]

your chip seems to be going better and better?
i wish mine goes the same....
currently stuck at ~5100mhz...

[SoF]

wow that most impressive 965 retail chip there :woot: tri sli will be fun to watch :D

[M3kk]

Nice man, try it with the big cascade :D.

[KELL5]

Great results pedro :up:

<< waits patiently for TRi SLi results :)

[wildtigon]

nice result with Vapo ichill cooling :)

[MarcusFoX]

Awsome
