LN2 4850 and gx2 - gold cups inside

:welcome:

First I must say that SB hasn't lived up to my expectations. Benching 5,5+ GHz on air only needing gpu sub zero did seem awesome but my crappy cpu only manages 5,3 with over 1.55 vcore. It runs too hot for air. A bad board doesn't help. Even thought of taking a break from ocing and wait for BD instead :rofl:
But luckily I changed my mind and benched the sh*t out of these gpus I had lying around.

Rig spec

• i7 2600k L044B692 - 5340 max :shrug:
• Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 :down:
• Corsair Dominator GT 1600 cl6
• In-Win Commander 1500W
• Dimastech Benchtable Easy
• F1 EE
• EVGA 9800XG2 with tek 4 pot
• Slightly modified XFX 4850 with ryba (?) slim pot :D

Insulated mostly with eraser like this:

Fav benchmark? Maybe, it's a pretty relaxed one :yepp:

This card doesn't have cold bug, really nice to work with.

I still need to learn how to bench 05... too slow for clocks.

Vantage
9800gx2 crashed twice in GT2 so no vantage score completed.

A favorite but had too little time and cpu isn't good enough. Only gx2 for now.

So that's it, around 250 hw points and lots of fun right there :)
Thanks to elmor and kinc for tek 4 pot and TiN for his awesome guide on how to build a 8800GTX zombie.

great work, loving that zombie.
too bad for the crappy CPU :(

hey man great scores!

The cold slow bios is shared! Its on hwbots cold slow bios thread go check it out :)

Great scores! Congrats on the big gold cups! :clap:
SB CPUs aren't always 55x+ :p:

not bad dude :)

Beware, you may want to try and find a stronger 2600K. I'm going to see if I can get a 9800GX2 and beat some of your gold cups. ;)

Sounds good, my gx2 is still alive! :) Only one gold with it so far though. Better SB and bios would be nice to test, now I had cold slow at -50.

After flashing the coldslow BIOS I'd be interested to hear what the CB of that dual GPU card is and if you can get higher clocks out of it. :)
What voltage did you run on it? Guess I'd need mods too to get it this high without OVP OCP stuff...

I did vmem, vcore, ocp mod. But that vcore mod is no regular Fb-pin mod, it's wise to adjust as high as possible with software (1.30 v) and then use hardmod to get up to 1.5isch. I used 1.45 V to get 1015 core stable @-45.

Amazing work and dedication Marcus. Love the mods!

Thanks, you should try some of your good 4850s too. Just need a good vrm and some time :yepp:

Good job! The scores are really good and that VRM looks damn serious! :D
