I will be crunching again in memory of Jon (loonym) as it was his passion and I hope my effort will help someday to find new treatments
Got the UD7 board in this morning, going to test it tonight on H2O outside in the cold with the W3540 and 5970... We'll see what I can do! :)
This is the saddest moment in a while.... Jon will not be forgotten. :(Quote:

You lucked out on that monstrous ruffus man, I would love a unit like that!
3d03 5970's scores "fixed", 05 scores "fixed" sort of, aquamark fixed well I saved to usb, bad idea but it moved me no ranks. 320K is a heck of improvement from my 240K........all done in vista ;)
Very impressive scores with your AMD setup and the 5970 on some nice air clocks! :up:Quote:

320k is much much better but you would be pushing 400k with a i7 system on LN2.... ;)
Nice LN2 S775 CPU run there MTP04! :up:
Jor3lBR, I see you're pushing hard for every gold you can get again... got the X3380 Superpi32M beat today! :up:
Now I guess you need to get the Pifast and Superpi 32M records back with the Q9650.... :p:
@chew
Awesome Aq3! I need to learn the ropes for that bench with ya :clap:
@Linux
Yes I know DDR3 board incoming to get those back I got DDr2 very close on that pifast I did 18.70 against his 18.63 I guess I can squeeze in those 7ms but DDR3 at 1800Mhz would be much easier.
Sent you a PM! Keep pushing! :up:Quote:

Are you using prioaff for PIFast already? Or pause line in PIFast to set priority and affinity through taskmanager?
I probably will need that pause line cmd (haven't used that one before) but prioff only hurts on quad cores.Quote:

Interesting, I always thought switching between cores made PIFast run slower.Quote:

We should convince hoss331 to join the team, total domination of the Q9650 category. ^^
Well I'll get those 2 last ones soon enough just need time :up: Same for the Q9550 I will get all but Cpu-z unless DDR3 can give me a top frequency boost or a lower temp coldbug.Quote:

Did you notice AndreYang and nickshih went back to TeamTaiwan?! More than 3200 points with only two members. Crazy...
Anyone know why they left PURE? I guess it's only a temporary move.

Great work by MTP04 pushing old 65nm Core 2s to the limit on his REX. ( I gotta get one too :D ). :up:
Very nice work thebluemeanie1, scoring almost 55k in 03 with a single 9800 GTX.
Xtreme_Solid has to push some more! :yepp:
A big congrats goes out to Jor3lBR for breaking the Q9550 32M WR yesterday! :clap:
HWBot is recalculating points again, I think we gained some. :)
To the guys that were in Vegas... Brian, Ryan, Charles, Dave and who else. I want to see pics and scores!! :D
Thanks for the kind words Don_Dan and yes if you haven't owned a REX yet and your still benching socket 775 cpus, then I strongly recommend getting one.:D
The SuperPI 1M E6300 run I submitted is garbage and should be quicker for the clocks. I think my OS got damaged from all the crashes I ran into while I was trying for max fsb, I'll probably rebench later on.
About time, wednesday im getting my 15L and 18L filled with some fresh new liquid nitrogen.
Going to bench my 5770 for the last time, but first time on LN2. last time with dry ice on the 5770 i was limited as hell by the temp, so i expect to get 1200+ core. my cpu can go alot higher then previous 5ghz vantage and 06 ( 200 / 300 mhz higher ) , combination of both, with the new 9.12 catalyst should make me reclaim my beloved gold cups!
Going to try to bench aqua / 03 / 05 aswell, so need to try a bit tomorrow if i can get a decent run going on AIR, never really ran those benchmarks actually. o well, lots of fun inc!
Pushed another 5870 on air in Vantage and maxed out at 1064/1272... got a better score than before though my CPU on H2O is still limiting me! :up:
Hopefully I'll get the cascade running again this week and really push some 5870 scores across the board....
@thjis:
Run all of the 3dmark benchmarks! Looking forward to it! :D
Nice work! Almost 100k in 03 is sick! :up:Quote:

Too bad Smoke joined OCClub a minute ago, they gained 1500 points and two ranks.
Just 1020 points to go into top 10... Let's make it happen! :D
Gotta recruit another bencher, run multiple gpus for team points, push past 300 hardware points for the team, and get on cascade.
There is a little new year's resolution. :rofl:
I'll try to get these goals accomplished this and next month. :D
Hope to see some more results from billdavis and xoqolatl with the new 9.12 driver on their 5870s! ;)
I can't get LN2 temporarily, and benching HD5870 on dice is not fun after you've tried LN2 on them.
I'm going to bench some older GPUs on dice soon.
EDIT: Congrats thijs, you have been mentioned in The Overclocker! Go to http://cde.cerosmedia.com/The_Overcl...bb6e3e3558.cde, page 29.
I still need to freeze one of my REX and the E8600 to get some big points. I'm back to work so probably won't happen till next week :-(
About the server updates: is it just me or after those reviews they mess up with your gold cups. This is the second time after an update that I get Gold Cup results demoted to Silver with less points and there is no Gold result, I still have the fastest time :shakes:
Haha, nice. im e-famous! hope break the record today, but the LN2 truck didnt show up yet :down: , i expect 1250 +- on the core.Quote:

Some nice scores by Linuxfan, pushing his single 5870, and TheGoat Eater, who is using Charles' cherry 975 to score 365k in AM3 with a single GTX 275 Lightning!
Xtreme_Solid is pushing harder now and is earning some points! Good work! :up:
Yeah, it showed up. only had a few hours unfortunately, so no time for tweaking. ran everything at 5.1ghz , i know it can go higher, but i didnt had the time nor LN2 for it ( ln2 reserved for something ;) ) .
I got 1250 core with 1.3V @ -90 ( msi afterburner read out ) , i think 1300+ core is possible, but again, i just rushed with settings i knew. my aqua is really poor, so no point submitting that, something went wrong there, i had 2 core affinity, perhaps i should have turned HT off? dunno.
Ill submit my results tomorrow, i should've benched on xp pro for 06 , W7 didnt really work to well for me, with alot higher clocks and such i got similair results as previous run @ 5ghz and way lower core. i did get vantage gold tho, ill submit them tomorrow! :up:
Pr@$r1g vantage performance and mine are not there ?? I think we got like 3point togheter for our friendly competition for 1xhd5770 overclocking with vantage performance.Might be able to get my cpu running @ 4.3ghz on air break 13k in vantage and get in the top 10 just behind pr@$r1g and get even more point
Just got some hardware points today... Just a few more and I'll have 300!
Still on water, going to try to get the cascade running tomorrow. :D
Watch out chew'! You should to get some more globals... ;)
Nice submissions today Jor3lBR!
Back to my third place... First time since rev3.
Gotta get back to benching, you are catching up :D
Ehh no 5870 = no globals for 3d, taking a diff path atm.Quote:

I dont really understand, everyone ( including gautam ) seems so hyped about ati + win7 + 3dmark06, but i cant really produce results that go with their findings.
I only got 200/300 points more from previous run, which was on xp. and that was with 9.11 ( dunno if 9.12 gained in 06 ) , and was almost 100 mhz lower on the xp then the W7.
Weird. anyhow, i hope to bench vantage alot higher tomorrow aswell, i know it's capable of almost 5.2ghz, but now the trick is to run it when it's needed :)
Umm i think its vista ;) not win 7.Quote:

i know on vantage after 1350 or so mem it stops scaling, even lower fps, but i dont really have hundreds of liters laying around, so it's a bit randomish and gambling what will work. tomorrow ill focus on getting my cpu as high as possible, and rerun 06 and vantage to the best i can with the limit LN2 i still have ( 20L or so ) , my 3540 is hungry for ln2!
Yah XP will smoke vista in cpu test but the 3d weight of the tests carry far more punch than the cpu score does.
I find win 7 trailing a good 500 points end score behind vista on my AMD rigs. I think you might find win 7 usefull for aquamark and 03 but a properly tuned vista can match it ;)
so its now a 4 man race fromn the same team for the top spot in vantage performance hd5770 x1 ??? Damm, why i am a poor student. WOuld be nice some ln2 action with my hd5770, i am sure it would love it. For my i5 750, it look like its the only thing that can get me some 5ghz + i think with the bad chip i have.
Lots of results put up today including a wr and some more killers! Great work everyone! We are past i4 memory! :up:
wow excellent results ....just looking at the numbers.you guys are hardcore:up:
:welcome: to the new members btw
I forgot to welcome the new team members... :(
:welcome:
Looking forward to helping y'all as much as I can with your overclocking and effeciency! :up:
EZ now!
Just had a good bash at some more Q9650 benching yesterday, no #1 spots taken (yet), but I had a pretty good bunch of runs....
1st - managed CPUZ of 5013 this time, was actually looking at 5040 but didn't save the CVF in time.
2nd - Got a PIfast score up which earnt me another 5th place
3rd - Superpi - managed a little improvement and got 9.407, seems like a bit of a big step to reach the next highest, but I'm up for having a stab at it.
4th - Managed to complete a SPI32 run, and just pipping Andressergio for 5th place
5th - wPrime32M - This took some tweaking, but not as much as 1024m does! A nice little unexpected result for me, which I may improve on, but I'm happy with the results so far.
So, that should earn us all a few points, hopefully I'll be able to earn some more over the next couple of days. I'll be putting up improved wPrime32, and 1024 times, along with PCmark.
I hope I've become a worthy contender :D
I think it's only 3 guys! ;)Quote:

I managed to up a few more scores last night. No 1st places, but a 2nd and couple of 3rds makes me a happy bunny :D Linuxfan - pipped you a couple of times dude, but your talk of cascade makes me shiver!
I just wanted to ask before I went ahead with PC mark - am I likely to need SSDs and a high performance GPU to get into competing with those scores, or is it based on CPU/mem benching?
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TEAM!
*edit
I have my pick on 3 E7500's which I'm gonna have a whirl on in due time. Looks like a nice little niche I could earn a few points in, unlike those with E8x00's. I might even get my MIIF back out for it if my UD3P can't hit 600+FSB.
p.s. thanks for the kind words Don Dan ;)
Hey In-Fluence,
Nice scores the Quad there! Take it easy.
PCMark05 will test the computer in general, one of my favorites benchmarks :D
So you will need a strong cpu speed, a stronge Gpu, a stronge storage system (2x SSd's up), and a stronge Windows tweaking ability.

It never saw that much vcore for more than 30 seconds, but very risky!
One thing that bugged me was the HUGE voltage bump between 1.60 (read ~1.56 in CPU-Z), and 1.62 (read ~1.64) and 1.64 (read 1.68), if it wasn't for that .1v jump, I feel I might have been able to tune some higher speeds.
I was really chuffed with how my reapers performed throughout - some old sticks that have taken a beating over the years, but couldn't loosen timings without it being unbootable, it just didn't like looser timings.
Anyway, I'll be back with more results in due time - Kudos to you all ;)
Warming up the cascade with some Wprime on an i7 965 C0 chip. Just passed 4815mhz at 1.45v. :up:
Preparing for some nice hardware points! :D
Glad to hear your cascade was fixed Linux! Now happy 2D benching :DQuote:

omfg, i had 7L left so i wanted to try vantage cpu tests, how high i could get, omfg, if i can get this to finish with a 5870, we are in for a ride :D
perhaps with a bit more cold / vcore i can reach 5.3ghz

Installing the 5970 drivers now so I'll run 03, 05, 06, and Vantage on it with the CPU at 4.8 or 4.85 and get my multicard global points up...
After that I'll try the 920 and w3540 and should get over 5ghz and improve everything...
I'm having fun with cascade. :up:

Thats a killer CPU thijs!
You have a 5870 now? You can sure get some nice points with that! Looking forward to some killer runs! :D
Nah, availability in holland is still crappy, thought i saw one today for 330EU, paid it, only to find out 15 people in front of me have more right to get it then me, i mean common, why do you put it up as available in the first place :( prolly just their system or something. so waiting to get it refunded, and then going to see. perhaps im going to do a hwbot rampage with 260 / 4890 or something, 100/150EU 2ndhand cards, or a HD5870. im not sure yet, 'budget' cards are fun to play with aswell.
I can sell and ship one to you if you can't get them there... :p:Quote:

Simple question:
Suppose that I buy 4 top of the line graphic cards, bench with them, and sell them after a week. How much of the money do you think I can get back expressed in percentage? Personally I think that you will be lucky if you can get 75% of your original payment back.
My OC project is on a hold for the moment.. I had a spontaneous leaking Apogee GT in my main system (the copper base plate has become spherical, so much that it is leaking from the bottom of the block itself, I don't know what is the cause, it has been running full-time for the last 2 years :( ), destroying my 4890..
But I do got a Ti4600 voltmodded ready for the HWBOT competition, including Asrock s775/AGP and a E5300 coming in tomorrow. The only problem is that my Philips 42" 8404 has arrived this week, and its very difficult NOT to play with all the time :)
Well, i see you live in holland aswell TRG, those 5xxx series you can sell for almost the purchase price, perhaps 10-20EU less then that.
So i wouldnt worry to much about that, it's a fairly save investment ;)
Yeah with the current top end cards you can pretty much sell them for what you paid and after fees probably end up with 90 or 95% back.
Sorry linux :D
Nice submissions!Quote:

Quick question to anyone. What's the best way to flash back to an older bios on my Rampage II Extreme board? I think the one I got messed up something, the i7 965 doesn't hit good clocks with it. :confused:
I like flashing backwards with afudos. Actually like flashing with it just in general.Quote:

After I pack well see if I'll have any time to flash it and rip out a few runs... :)
After my bout with my Q9650 and no funds for more memory just yet, I've been taking a look at my lappy, and the 8600m GT. I've managed 34,000 3dm'01 points with no mods which puts me in top place by over 1K for this gpu. I have the advantage of a proper 775 CPU in there, so I expected this :)
My question is, I can actually get a huge amount more out of this by installing 8600 GTS drivers using the rivatuner strap configuration and modded inf drivers. Would this still be legal?
I think it'd be fine but I can't remember if it would still go in the same GPU category if GPU-Z shows an 8600M GTS... ;)Quote:
Originally Posted by In-Fluence
Yes, that's what I thought. I guess it depends if GPUZ accesses the hardware directly, rather than the driver - I'll investigate. Mind you, if I wipe the board with top spots anyway I guess it won't matter! :D
http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/..._8600m_gt_ddr2
*edit: It uses a rom strap so it didn't work :(
On the plus side, I'm so close to 1st place on 3dm'03 I think I'll be earning us a small number of points :)
Seeing as this is a rarity I figured you guys would get a kick out of me torturing a chip on water, almost have this particular setup all figured out.
http://chew.ln2cooling.com/I7/LOL.jpg
Good stuff on H2O for sure. :DQuote:

Excellent water run! Do you mind telling us which ram you're using?
Run all of the 3dmark tests with its current BIOS then figure out whether after you flash it it goes in a different category or not. :up:Quote:

we are coming for you XS
bobbylite or splave?
dang! nice hardware thats good for like 500+ pts... all popular stuff.
like chess, we wait :D
I left my old team of which I was the creator and joined the xs team. If anybody feels like taking 5 minutes and look at my submissions, I'm sure with a couple tips I could get more points for the team. I brought a little 13 points or so, and wish I could bring more!
back home from taipei - though after being stuck in Alaska and 50+/- hours of travel I will be tired a bit more than usual so I will take some time ot get back up to speed
Hi chaps & lasses, just wondering why it's showing none of my points towards XS. I have about 40-50 but none are marked us as 'for xtreme systems'. Have I missed something? Can't find much in the rules...
It looks fine to me.Quote:

Ah, ok, thanks for clearing that up ;)

As far as I know, GPU-Z accesses the driver to determine which GPU you use. It's hwbot's policy that modded hardware belongs to the category it originates from, so this would be 8600M GT regardless of what GPU-Z shows.Quote:

All this is without the rom strap mod, so I could even get a thousand or so more! I guess making bigger gaps between 1st & 2nd in the category doesn't count for any lot more points does it?
What's more - I've just found out I could plonk an E7500 in my lappy, and probably get a significant increase there too!
Anyone know a way to find out which of the 8 timing sets apply to which 2D/Throttle/3D profile in NiBitor? I've managed to get some good memory clocks by loosening the general timings on-the fly, but I'd like to program them into the GPU bios, but I can't find any info on it for this card, and I've been meddling all day :/
Thanks for the hints - more to come ;)
While I perfectly agree that 4 ghz is totally possible, cooled by megahalem w noctua in push/pull, the fact is that I have many memory instability issues. Can't get the corsair dominator 1600mhz to run at 1600 mhz 8-8-8 24 without having failboots 9 times out of ten! Also, I don't get what you mean by all 3dmarks. I know I should run 3dmark06 too, but I didn't have time to install it and run it. Will definately be done soon, today or tommorow.Quote:

What's up with this new team with members merging from other big teams? Looks like some copy of team pure... :rofl:
I sussed out the memory tweaks which finally got me into 1st place with ease on every chart except vantage - just realised it requires vista, so will get around to putting w7 on my lappy in good time. Need to back up stuff first. Only worthy of a ~17 points, but they all count I guess :D
I'm thinking of upgrading to a 9600m now, just gotta find me a cheap one. If I do, then that'll be another nifty little mission, particularly if I get my hand on this E7500 :cool:
Just lost our PCMark05 2x Gold Cup to a Clarkdale... Have to bench the E8600 and E8700 to get the top again.
I will have a p55 soon to hit those 2d big numbers too.
P55 with YOU on LN2? Wow, that'll be dangerous!!! Go for the gold! :DQuote:

Yesterday they had almost 11k and were called "Overclocking Alliance". Today it's 7k and "Overclockaholics"... I wouldn't bother. We are The Team :DQuote:

Honestly, if you get the success you had with that Q9650, then you're onto a winner!
Just paid for a 8800 GTX to play with, got room for 140 or so more hardware points, which should be a cake with the 8800 GTX, hope she clocks well, deff going under LN2!
