Awesome man! Can't wait to see your results with LN2.

Ya im jazzed like no other!

this is going to be my first time benching i7

i have had the chip for a while but could not afford the board until now :(

i hope i dont blow anything up....

*********

I will be benching both the i7 920 and the i7 965 in this competition , think the 920 can compete with the 965? we will find out!

D0??? ... and LN2 - this makes any other on comers to give up for the Clocking comp I figure...

maybe...

[V2-V3]

I believe the contest is open to ES chips and all methods of cooling including LN2

[HawaiianSupermn]

I believe the contest is open to ES chips and all methods of cooling including LN2

It was stated "Offically" allowed.

Looking good V2-V3, carnage awaits :up:

[V2-V3]

I wont be on LN2 for a few more days, but this chip has a lot more headroom on AIR. one thing holding me back is RAM my DDR3 is not overclocking friendly... :(

The weather here has been rather cold, somewhere around -10c Im thinking of taking the rig out side for some good ole chilled air overclocking!

[Jor3lBR]

Awsome V2! You setup just make me laugh so hard at the competition nick name:

"NCIX/Asus Average Joes" :rofl::ROTF::rofl:

[V2-V3]

I didnt have any of the hardware until Fugger announced the event!
had to run out and buy all new i7 equipment, could only pay for it by selling my PC Gaming equipment.

Stuck benching on a crappy old CRT that makes my eyes hurt.... (Borrowed from parents basement)

sold the 22'' LCD for the Liquid Nitrogen Fund :)

I lol'd @ the AMD Phenom II equipment I forgot about in the background :P

LN2! btw, how much did your LN2 pot run you?

[V2-V3]

LN2! btw, how much did your LN2 pot run you?
LN2 pot cost me $500.00 USD

the big tank of LN2 (180L) cost me $250.00 per fill :(

I cant wait to put this i7 on LN2, there is some serious performance inside this chip just waiting to get out!

[drnip]

Very nice!

[HawaiianSupermn]

How long have you been running that tagan 1300w psu and what do you think of it?

Thank you, LN2 will set this chip free!


How long have you been running that tagan 1300w psu and what do you think of it?

I have been running the Tagan BZ-1300W for over a year, it has been my best overclocking Power Supply never failed me :)
although it could use an aggregated rail with large amperage.


Very nice!

Thank you drnip

[HawaiianSupermn]

Whats the deal with two psu(s)? You running the gpu's off the ultraxpro 750 and the Tagan is carrying the cpu/mobo? Are you having to ballance the load on the second psu with hdds and stuff?

Whats the deal with two psu(s)? You running the gpu's off the ultraxpro 750 and the Tagan is carrying the cpu/mobo? Are you having to ballance the load on the second psu with hdds and stuff?

I was using each PSU to test if the higher amperage single rail Ultra 750w would have a benefit over the lower amperage multi rail Tagan PSU

There was no noticeable Overclocking difference on air testing, but i believe the CPU will require a much larger rail on LN2 when it is pulling 1.7vcore @ 5GHz +

[Slovnaft]

FYI on the PSU, CPU alone pulles around 400W during Vantage CPU test at 5ghz 1.68v.

Thank you for the info Slovnaft, Much appreciated!

I just observed 650 Watts of power being consumed by the system
1.2888Vcore 4.350GHz :)
WPrime 1024M 8 core load 65c

that is an enormous power draw from the cpu!

Don't forget I had to buy the motherboard and RAM too!

now im broke and hungry..... lol

[V2-V3]

Just put my new Core i7 940 CPU under LN2 for the first time, after about 5L of LN2 and 30 minutes later I reached a nice 4.6GHz on a 210 Bclk

Temperature was -85c on the IHS and CPU Core voltage was measured at 1.63v

I believe this chip has a lot more to show :)

This weekend will be a blast as i use the i7 965 XE for pure memory MHz and the i7 940 for CPU MHZ over 5GHZ!!!! :)

Ya i cant believe i was able to get this RAM clocked to 1133.3MHz on a 1T command rate!!!!! just crazy!!!

ill post pictures of the LN2 system

[V2-V3]

Haha, cant wait for the 965 and 920 on ln2. Should be a good competition with excellent results. Keep us updated!

Core voltage above 1.600v resulted in very unstable benchmarks.

not really as much voltage as i would have liked!

With liquid nitrogen cooling I was able to cool the chip down to about -175c during load.

cold bug boot was about -140c


and here are the frosty Core i7 pictures:

I love good competition, lets see what is Dominator GT can do!

I am too. All the good stuff is sold out. I have been looking at the Kingston HyperX 3x2 GB DDR3 2000 cas 8. They are Elpida chips and only $245.99 at the egg. Just wish they would get them in stock. I had to settle for the 3x1 GB verions at cas 9. Don't know if they are Elpida chips though. Will find out tomorrow.

ya, DDR3 Tri channel kits are way expensive :( and the hi performance low lat kits are just insane in price!

let me know what modules they are :)

[TheKarmakazi]

Nice results! Are you using setfsb or just booting at those speeds from bios?

The $245.99 was a price misquote that sold out instantly (I was luckily able to get one of these kits). That is actually the price for a 3x1GB kit. I think you will be waiting a long time for Newegg to put them up at that price again. Also the Cas 9 2000Mhz from Kingston (http://i4memory.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2142&d=1230651681) are Samsung HCF0 chips

They still show it to be that price and I just purchased the 3x1GB kit (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104082) for $119.99 last Friday. Who knows, I can't call it. I heard the 3x1GB were Samsungs but wasn't for sure.

That kit you link to is HCf0 also... HCF0 based kits are much cheaper. If you can bin a good pair they are actually comparable to the elpidas with cas 8 and cas9 clocking (but elpidas win with cas7)

The Kingston elpida kits are much more expensive and its $245.99 for 3x1GB and $529 iirc for the 3x2GB kit (at launch maybe slightly less expensive now). The sheer limited availability of these chips right now ensures high prices. Elpida cant get enough of the "good" hyper IC's out to even meet demand.

[Mpetrosino]

Nice clocks! Keep up the good work. Buying more hardware are we?

Thank you TheKarmakazi,

Yes I have been working in the bios for overclocking and booting into windows, currently I am only posting stable clocks that pass WPrime 1024M.

I will use SetFSB at a later time if needed :)

I guess im just old skewl and love overclocking in the bios too much :)
My friends say I spend more time in bios than any Operating System :)

Nice clocks! Keep up the good work. Buying more hardware are we?

I could really use some better RAM but im broke again and kinda running out of things to sell :P

Very Nice I have to get me a dewar and give LN2 a try.
Keep pushing it

Hell ya!

If you need help with insulation/ vmods or hardware let me know, check Ebay for some Dewars you can usually find a 20 or 30L at a good price.

Been there and done that, wait a minute I am there now. Keep up the great work man!

LOL, its scary to think that i catch my self looking around for what i can sell just to buy a few more Liters of LN2!

Wish I knew what I was doing or what to look for in the area of ln2. One day though. Thanks for the info on looking at dewars at ebay. That is a start.

That kit you link to is HCf0 also... HCF0 based kits are much cheaper. If you can bin a good pair they are actually comparable to the elpidas with cas 8 and cas9 clocking (but elpidas win with cas7)

The Kingston elpida kits are much more expensive and its $245.99 for 3x1GB and $529 iirc for the 3x2GB kit (at launch maybe slightly less expensive now). The sheer limited availability of these chips right now ensures high prices. Elpida cant get enough of the "good" hyper IC's out to even meet demand.

WOOT WOOT!!! Sending my Samsung versions back as the egg just got the elpida versions in. Only $154.99. WOOT WOOT!!!

very nice!

now only if i can get the Girlfriend to understand Elpida DDR3 modules actually qualify as a kick ass Birth Day Present!!!

Better hurry as they will prolly be sold out in a few hours!

Pick up some welding gloves, and a stainless steel coffee the thermos while you are at it!

you could always fly out here to Idaho for some LN2 overclocking :)

HAH, not with this board. 03, 05, sure. 06, MAYBE. vantage? hell no. R2E's buck is too primitive for any heavy load high transience benching. or maybe i should say that nelly is too consumptive.

also, can you just post your D0 results? i wanna see =D

hmm I managed 4900MHz on Vantage and 06 with the R2E,

D0 can do 5GHz+ with not too much of an issue!

I will see if i can post more D0 Results

[chuchnit]

Nice CPU V2-V3. Keep pushing and show those 5ghz 3D runs.

I ran out of LN2 last night and am waiting for my new 180L tank to be delivered!

I am itching to put the 4870x2's on LN2, they are all V modded up and are just screaming to be overclocked!

Dude, that setup is destined for some screamage. Git er filled and dilled, I wanna see that x2 combo blow up some spots. :yepp:

My NL50 Dewar (180L of LN2) comes in on Friday morning, at that time I will be overclocking through the weekend! like a mad MAN!

[chuchnit]

I can't wait for the screenies that are coming with that D0 chip :D Are you gonna concentrate on any certain bench? Ya know for a WR or just run them all?

With D0 A world record is in reach! I have already validated 5.4GHz on the D0 but I do not know if they are allowed in the competition.....

Im going to boost mt 3Dmark scores on HWbot first

going to focus on the 3DMark 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006

For vantage I will need to use a pair of Nvidia GTX 295's

I would focus on Super Pi but i dont have the best tweaking skills.

I am a master when it comes to WPrime so i will blast through 32M and 1024M benches for pure 8 core performance!

how is the dry ice benching going?

Sweet. I'll be keeping an eye on the leader board at the bot :) DICE is gone and will be a while before I'm back at it again :down:

seems your w3570 results got lost in the old database, any new benches with it?

more scores to come!

Updated my scores with the march 30th validations, I guess the site had some data loss and my updated scores were lost :(

almost 32K. nice job.

[eligray]

How much do you pay for the 180L dewar?

[V2-V3]

How much do you pay for the 180L dewar?


I pay about $120.00 USD delivered for 180L of LN2 right now, Price keeps going up :(


almost 32K. nice job.

I had 4 cores disabled :(

3DMark 06 really benefits from having 8cores over 4 cores!

next 5GHz+ run with 8cores! and CFX 4870X2 900Mhz Core and 1000MHz RAM :)

I will have 2GHz DDR3 triple channel as well :)

before i was not running 3 sticks

dood that's nothing, my local airgas wants $3/L !!! :rofl:

[V2-V3]

dood that's nothing, my local airgas wants $3/L !!! :rofl:

when i first started i was being charged $5/L and + $40.00 delivery/pickup fee

[Gautam]

dood that's nothing, my local airgas wants $3/L !!! :rofl:

If you're really in Boston, you're not looking at the right Airgas. ;)

[eligray]

I have 5 airgases within 20 minutes of my house. Only one sells LN2. They want $5/L :(

There's a Praxair that charges $2.50/L for my 25L Dewar. But even ~$64 after taxes is a lot when you're making minimum wage :(. The guys were nice last time (my only time) and gave me ~18L when I paid for 5L. Any tips on getting/asking for a better rate without sounding like a :banana::banana::banana::banana:? :)

[Gautam]

I hear that it's bad on the west coast. :-/ Something about them not actually producing LN2 there but rather transporting it from the east...I never had to haggle. I went to an airgas in Massachusetts and got $1/l the first time, and every time after that. I also went to one in South Carolina and it was $1.25/l, first time, and the same every time. :shrug: You might want to make sure that you're getting industrial grade and not medical grade...it should be a lot cheaper.

Thing with airgas is though, if you call up the number you get on the website it goes to some central office which will quote rates that are much higher than the ones you'll actually get. Pretty often if even you call the local branch up, they'll tell you a much higher price on the phone than what they give you when you walk in. :S

yup, I lapped the CPU and my Thermalright True copper 120 extreme with 1500 Grit wet sand paper!

spent nearly 4 hours lapping and my arm is killing me!!!

up to 35K 3dm06 with i7 975 at 5100MHz
pix soon....

wooot wooot

mobo?
os?
ram?

i can't wait ...

Forgive my relative ignorance about i7. Is it LN2 for 5100mhz?

[SlickSkyline]

Nice work V2-V3 , I saw from picture that you use Thermalright in that position on the motherboard , I like to know if this is the best way to put the cooler for a low temp ... or if you have some tips [ links ] in how to put that cooler for best cooling I will be happy.

Thanks and keep the good work.
