Q9650 - 6 Gold Cups in one Day (conquering the HWBot HOF)

Hi guys,

This weekend I started my quest to unite the Q9650 'Hall Of Fame' and try to get all the 7 Gold Cups available for this hardware (Intel Q9650).

I did get 6 first places (4 this weekend) :up:. Now I have to pursuit the PCMark05 that I'm clueless :shrug:

All the Gold Cups where obtained with cooled water or the OCZ Cryo-Z single stage. Someday I have to put this setup under Ln2.

Now I only need PCMark05 (any tips)?

Hope you guys enjoy I had loads of fun! :yepp:

Thanks Sniipe :up:

I will get those soon how about a better vid card? I'm waiting so long for new releases that I'm using this old X1300...

ah well pick up a 4890 on discount, this has a 5% code for $190 shipped no MIR - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161276 code HARDOCPVGA685 expires 6/15 :yepp:

Nice scores, I was thinking of doing the same thing with my Q9650 the other day but never got around to it yet... :up:

Great work as always my friend :up:

Awesome work :up:

What were your temps like?

This was crazy to keep cool during this summer, rooms temps are high 33,5oC, especially by the end of wPrime1024m and SuperPi32m the Cryo-Z was working hard and I heard a lot of noise from the engine. I had to use a lot of fans to push the heat outside the Cryo's case, the higher temp I got from the Cryo was -20oC. Dunno what the temps on the cpu where like.

Nice work, but that 32m pi score won't stand long at the bot - the checksum is not there, and memory tab is also missing. Plus, I've heard they don't like photos as verification. At least I got some CPUZ scores blocked because of that:p:

Yeah I know I will redo that one normally. I never expected that score to be WR so I never saved SS's :up:

Nice work, that's a killer cpu.

Thats pretty good :up: I think my SS could hold it at -38C or so.

and that my friend is a perfect example of how much fun you can have with a pc....

great work man....:up:

Nice scores, well done :up:

nicely done! good luck with the last cup :)

For pcmark05 you will want to skip SSD's (unless you want to buy 10 of them). Easiest and cheapest way is to buy an Acard 9010, or a couple irams (both cost about the same). The person currently holding gold used an acard :up:

Acard rocks man for pcmark, also keep the Aero glass theme set ( makes 2d go bonkers) and for some extra punch grab a better vidcard to top it off, nice work !!

For the Pi runs can you disable a few cores ? to make the CPU even faster ? Also did you use OCXtweaker for Pi32mb ?

For Pi and pifast I run XP, Wprime and Pcmark Vista

nice results congrats :D

Well done , very nice bench session and congratulations for your achievements :up:

Thanks man I'll look into those, what type of memory you could buy to use with those Acard's with a nice speed?

Thanks for the golden tips Leeghoofd. I'll try to do that, problem is my board doesn't play well with ram at 1:1, funny thing... I'll try to disable some cores.

I never used that software (OCXtweaker) I read about it but I don't understand this part:
3. create in each subfolder some single files (waza0.tmp .....wazaxxxx.tmp ) , file count depends on Waza Size & single file size.

Waza Size * 1024 / single file size = count
Example : 480 MB * 1024 / 128 Kb = 3840 files

Than each subfolder contains 3840 / 8 -> 480 Files

How should I create those files and how many I would have in each folder?


@all the others:

Thanks guys your compliments fuels these sessions! :worship:

I would just get the cheapest ddr2 800mhz 2GB sticks you can find (it runs everything @ 800mhz no matter SPD/rated speed). You dont need to populate all the slots either. Just buy 4x2GB and place 2x2GB on each side. Then use the raid0 option, set it as your target drive for pcmark, and away you go!
