Overclocking Forum Challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!

[njkid32]

I think this would be great to get involved in a forum challenge we could kick the sh** out of all the other forums who signup for this.

http://www.raymosbench.com/html/forums/index.php?showtopic=400

Good idea or no?

[Morgoth]

I think its a good idea, but I don't have any idea what chrystalmark is, I have AQ3 though

Well I turned it up to 2.9ghz and this is what I got..

If we can get enough people we can put a team together and RULE EVERYONE!!

Hey Guy's
Here's some of the forum entries (scroll Down to Forum Wars)
http://www.theraptorpit.com/html/forum_wars.htm

First thing to do is sign up your forum and start a "Forum Wars" sign up thread, you got a month to get all the players.
We will test crystalmark and drop the video scores because they can be cheated then add AM3 divided by 2 to CM for individual scores...
Problem everyone is having is AM3 is dead and we dont know if shes coming back so we will use 3D01 instead if needed...
And Let's see who's the Baddest of them all....
Bring it on!!!

I also have all the Sign up thread links at www.theraptorpit.com
so you can see what each team is up to leading up to the start (Sept 23rd)


Btw... as far as testing CM is the best test I've found so far (but they need to fix the vid) (win+L is the cheat when the OGL test starts)
Good Luck (your gonna need it)

[saaya]

the idea is not nice, but why do we have to go to another forum for it?

[flewpastu]

Oh and flewpastu I dont think you want to mess with the guys here! I am little compared to them....;) ... yeah i've seen some of the rigs in here . there are some top notch Hardware ........ it's still gonna be fun . hope to see ya guys join in

[njkid32]

... yeah i've seen some of the rigs in here . there are some top notch Hardware ........ it's still gonna be fun . hope to see ya guys join in

Well we are going to work on doing something. If we dont do this one then we will organize another one. But we are still undecided. Good luck!

[shogan191]

I pm'd one of the older members here telling him about it a couple of days ago. I hope Xtreme decides to join in. Should be nothing but fun. Look forward to seeing what you guys can do.

[cowpuppy]

:cool:

[EvlUndrWareNome]

Awesome, especially with the talent here

[njkid32]

:cool:

NICE scores! I am also going to start posting my 3DMark03 scores along with the CrystalMark score. Just to get this going and if we decide to run with this.

Edit: I just saw a thread at PC Perspective talking about this challenge. So it looks like they are in as well..

[A Scream]

I'm in... need my graphics cards to come lol.

[Vapor]

LOL....cowpuppy, I'm diggin' the RAMDrive action. Otherwise I'm not sure if this is a good competition for lots of people--why would we go to another forum just to compete is a *SO-SO* competition?

Its funny I saw a post on extremeoverclocking and they are saying that they want to take on XS.

I post over there but this is my true home.

[D4nnyOcean]

I'm up for it. Now that I'm finished with the Gran Prix I can now put a Pelt on my Prescott and see where that takes it.

[.sentinel]

I am up for it.

[Raymo]

Here's a quick Link Webpage with all the forums and sign up threads, rulz, forum entry thread and current listing of entered players in 4 days

http://www.theraptorpit.com/html/forum_wars.html (Bookmark this & or put it in your sig if you join)

Remember... pretty much everything is done here... if you want to taunt the others go ahead (We @ TRPF expect no less) all players will be listed with their Vital Stats (CPU/Speed VGA type)
then... when the war starts you guys will have to verify your own scores
meaning, you need to elect or appoint a few Cops to verify your score and check up on the competition to keep them honest. you will need to maintain your own list... I'll copy yours and then update mine at the site (simple huh?)
I hope you guys enter

I think he meant the RAM Drives should be outlawed not XS!

[BB mods's]

Ill get with FUGGER later this comming week..let's do this the right way ;)

[Vapor]

I suppose I could give this a whirl....with and without a RAMdrive, I'll submit whichever is legal (don't expect any sort of tweaked run from me though--I'm running full visual themes and all--just spent 2 hours workin on it).

BB: any chance of 5GHz 840 action?!

Not bad for a light dothan with a 9800xt eh?

EDIT:: Forgot to show the rig

http://www.snt-systems.com/Uploader/uploads/benchtest4.JPG
She's a mess but iv been changing hdd's and ram all night trying to get the best out of it..the dothan is a 740 belonging to Illmatic..shame it's a poor clocker,he has a 750 on the way to me..ill freez that and slam a x850xt pe in there along with my 15k rpm u320 drive's ;) no need for a ram drive this time.

[eshbach]

if XS officially participates i'll throw a system in the ring ;)

[[XC] leviathan18]

yeah if we are in officially ive become expert OC for a compo after the GP xD sad this one doesnt have 3dmark03

[waddupmm]

Count me in, that is if theres any open spots, and it doesnt require an abit motherboard..

[Ugly n Grey]

I'm going to pick up vid card today, I want in on this...I even dusted off my water cooling stuff....

[[XC] leviathan18]

which vid card UnG?

[Frisch]

Me and my 9700pro will enjoy the autumn of life and hug eachother as death is just around the corner.
All she would give me in her last days was sadly 68000 in crystalmark, but she complained all the time about how bad my machine were.
I have learned never to argue with an older lady as it only gives you a bad karma.

[Ugly n Grey]

which vid card UnG?

I'm willing to pick up an 850XTPE for this. Can't hurt, I can always sell it later. I even dug out my old DICE tube I made to OC my (no laughing guys) Pentium Pro years ago....I'll slap another tube together for the vid..... I'm normally too lazy for all this work, but this little contest has me horny...

Frisch if you want to borrow a 9700 Pro until you replace your PC, let me know, I'll ship it tomorrow. It's stock but easily modded upwards...no charge offer, PM me...

[[XC] leviathan18]

x850xt pe is the best single card for 3dmark01

[chew*]

Count me in njkid32 if theres still available space.

see sig for system ATI powah should do well in 3d 01 sandy will do 2.7 on air memory good for 500 and I might break out the secret weapon if it arrives in time( Liquid Frostbyte Revisited by chilly 1 should be here friday :) ) if not ill fire up the 3x120mm fan and rad asetek waterchill setup.

Here's a dry run 300x9 333 memdivider(ddr 490) x800xl still at stock

[ex2cib]

i wouldn't mind doing this, but would have to go download all the benches somewhere else.

i do have a problem with crystalmark. ive attached a SS of scores, had it on the wrong tab. system's in sig. i looked at the OGL tests, and on 3 or 4 of them i get a score of 0 for some reason. i have no idea why its doing that. 6600gt that with no overclock @ all on it, or 550/1100. i never really pushed it much.

i only ran this at 2800mhz @ 2.5-4-3-7 timings with tccd.
max would be maybe 9x315 @ 2.5-3-3-7, if i dont corrupt windows again

any ideas on why the OGL test would be screwing up? everything else looks ok, except for that, drivers downloaded from nvidia.

[chew*]

@ ex2cib actually your ogl scores dont seem to far off for a 6600gt. Remember thats the video tests and your comparing your results to what most of us are getting with 16 pipeline ATI cards or even higher gt and gtx 20-24 pipeline cards. Im also curious if the video test has the same impact on nvidia cards as 3dmark 01.

*EDIT* looking back on someone elses 6800 gt i see a ogl score of 30k So it definitely looks like this benchmark favors ati (just like ati mark 2k1 :P)

[ex2cib]

ok, looked at the scores for OGL again, i wasn't thinking last time i saw it, the four 0's there are just placeholders, with the actual score for each test up top

the weird thing was on the 550/1100 run, i got 25062, and i just ran it again @ defaults (500/1000) and got 26349. only thing that changed in those tests was for one, i restarted. and i fixed my SLI mod finally. i may run it again tomorrow after a restart and 550/1100 just to check my scores one more time.

[I_G]

The three video tests are going to be subtracted from the CrystalMark score and 3DMark2001 will be used instead, unless the Aquamark server is restored, in which case it will be Aquamark for video.

woah...nice prize.

how much are gasket sets?

[chew*]

woah...nice prize.

how much are gasket sets?

Iirc they are very cheap........ its the adapter kits that are expensive.

[I_G]

woah...nice prize.

how much are gasket sets?

I just recently got two socket 775 sets directly from Asetek in Denmark and they were $34 euros, each, delivered.

[don_vercetti]

ok.

Well my X2 is now under water, so i'll be well prepared for any multi tasking cpu benches. Currently working on getting voltages nice and low, then start raising the speeds.

nice to see you here Don :toast:

[don_vercetti]

you entering too?

[K.I.T.T.]

Nah. need to concentrate on my studies more. School opens tomorrow :(.

Once I get my new P4 660 3.6 GHz CPU and finish my water cooling, ill have a shot at it ;)

[don_vercetti]

ok cool, hopefully it'll still be open by then.

I've got school again starting monday, won't stop me overclocking and tweaking though.

[eshbach]

i did a quick test run at 5.4ghz. i don't want to show my hand too early you know ;)

Im in too.

Its not divided into gfx classes?

Here is the kind of score that the PC Pitstop team will have in it's line up
154000plus (http://crystalmark.info/CrystalMark/09/ranking.php?ID=41231)
:stick:

[[XC] leviathan18]

ive got 2 6600gt in sli mode and my video scores sux big time against all the atis and i kick in 3d mark 03 and 3d mark 05 with these cards

little advise run 2 times the hdd test the second time will get you little more score....

if you guys have any kind of optimization please tell me

[Gryph]

It is a team competition and on Crystal Mark ALL of the video scores are being tossed out. Your personal score will be a combination of CM and 3D03. Atleast thats what I can figure out by reading a few forums threads.

Gryph

[InSanCen]

Sorry guys. Got to pull out.

Have other things to do, and the GF is mental about the prospect of another competition (Even though I won summat in the last one)

She wins over you guys any day (She's a hell of a lot prettier too, I'll bet! ;) )

[carmelo]

I think I wanna join in on this ... I better read these other posts and see whats going on .. any advice ? Need to finish up some business math. work, but once thats done I'm in.

[shogan191]
