Gold medalist, Sapphire 4870 1GB - R.I.P.
:hitself: :cussing:
Well got 3dmark 06 and 05 benched today after school. Got some really good scores using XP and pushing the CPU with Easy Tuner in widows to get it past 200blck.
http://hwbot.org/signature.img?iid=3...se&iehack=.jpg
If i had more time i would messed with some other settings and gotten better scores, and efficiency but i didn't. Also didn't manage to get 03 or 01 benched :(

Just a quick update from university:

Looking good, eh? :D
Big thanks goes out to hoss331 for pushing us over Hardwareluxx! :up:
Congrats ............... 10th in the World .....:party:
Nice Job XS :up:
think the battle for 10th place will go on for a while, so we need to get the points flow going right now to get a lead on them :D
For that i just ordered a new 5870! hoping that that one will be alot better, if it's crap again, ill return it / sell it and just wait out for lightings / matrix / Superoverclocked one's , although i fear for the price / availability.
Hope this next card clocks great on LN2! :up:Quote:

Oh sweet Mary, XS in the promise land :clap:
The 7600 GT XXX are fun little cards, but you'll need to mod it to really get somewhere. If you don't need the 5870 for gaming ( who's doing that anyway ) you should sell it while it's still worth a lot.Quote:

Sure just got finish ripping this blu-ray and the delta just went on the Q6600. The 920 I'm using right now is the C0, D0 isn't going in till the new rig is done.
Had my Q6600 up to 4.1ghz on air for spi1m but memory and I believe 400W PSU is holding me back:down:
Sounds like you are set with the q66! I'm betting the psu is messing you up...
Great to see your benching hard already! :up:

Which version of windows is better I'm using win7 on everything but is 32-bit or 64-bit better?
32bit is a bit faster in everything. :up:Quote:

Somehow i managed to get some benches off although I have no freaking clue how the cpu was operating like this, I have a feeling this was the cause of my IMC / 32m stable issues. Looks like i got some conformal on chip somewhere along the line :yawn:
http://chew.ln2cooling.com/I7/IMG_2211.JPG
None the less and this issue was still unknown to me until I tore down so I forced the chip to work anyway. :D
And decided while I was at it I might as well tell my 4890 that it wasn't allowed to coldbug.

http://chew.ln2cooling.com/I7/IMG_2208.JPG
http://chew.ln2cooling.com/I7/vantage%202.jpg
excellent vantage score :D:up:
silver cup ::clap:
Great benching :up:
But how do you impose your will upon a HD4890?
wut, we're 60 points behind again, this is blasphemy 111!1!1!1
according to my tracing numb, ill be getting the 5870 today.
hope to have a goodie now, els it'll go back just as easy as the other one did.
i have a few Liters of LN2, so i can make it cold once and test fast or so :P
//edit
and a phase thingything, i could go with that aswell, although changing the mounting
on that is more of a pain in the ass then well, imposing world peace!
Can't wait for those 8800s so I can help fight for #10 again...
Great work chew*, glad you got that poor 920 cracking in wprime! :)
yay, 5870 is here. lets see what she does @ air!
congrats on hitting the 13k boint mark XS, awesome work :)
Bios ;) + brute force.Quote:

Anyhow, doesnt matter if i use 1.4 or 1.5V , the limit is 1250core.
with the upcomming lightnings and such, it's not bad, but not good enough for what my goal / plan was with it. so another one bites the dust, and ill just wait it out untill the non-refs become available.
will the 5870 lightnings be in another category?
No, they won't get their own category.Quote:

Don't think the difference will be that big for most of the benchers on stock coolers...
heh, whats air cooling :confused:
What a diff a conformal free cpu makes :ROTF:
Water testing done, back to cold testing I guess.
http://chew.ln2cooling.com/Corsair%20GTX2/14.jpg
Obviously once review is done I will knock out a proper tweaked 32m run with a 32m tuned os versus the win 7 above ;)
LOL ............. Air cooling =Quote:

Alright guys, i have parts coming in, so i hope to get the team some points real soon. I got my mobo and GPU in, waiting on PSU and looking for a 920. You can check out the parts in my build log...i am hoping this board will be a good bencher, but i won't know till i try it out, we'll see if it can go past that 225blck with cascade. :up:
Should be good for 235 bclk.Quote:

Welcome! Thanks for the 8.9 boints. Bring on some benches!
:welcome:
You have a nice Q9550 to gain some points with I see!
If you can try loading a trimmed down new xp install for you CPU benchmarking.... It will give you better times. :up:
I dont have XP anymore.
Where are these trimmed xp installs everyone is talking about. Maybe ill load it on a crap drive and run win7 for everything else.
Here's a great guide to making one. http://i4memory.com/f78/building-sup...k-warned-3747/Quote:

Hope I can improve my 88gts 320mb clocks with the waterblock... We'll see!
I'm:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: for ya!
Looks like I'll be getting together with systemviper and doing some DICE and SS benching. It'll be my first experience with it, I'm so excited.
If you can get some dice on that 920 D0 with you should be able to get some really nice 2D and 3D runs! Have fun! :)Quote:

Tweaking all I can out of it anyway! :up:
^ ouch man, I got 2 here that are both pulling 737/1080 stock (vf900 and ac s1 rev2) stock cooler?
Just like mine, I needed really cold air to get to >750Mhz on the core.Quote:

Thanks Don_Dan... :D
Splave, its the Evga flavor with the little aluminum full body cover and a pitiful fan... Its running 33C idle and I have 133cfm fans around it...
I have a MCW60-R you can have if you just pay the shipping.
Have fun, and please tell systemviper to join the team as well! :DQuote:

posted all of my air runs from the two cards.... Clocked were low on all of the cards but effeciency and CPU speed partially made up for that so some of the runs were decent... Going to try both gts cards with the bfg waterblock on a 320 rad next. Hopefully I can get over 700mhz core on both cards then I'll be able to gain an additional significant amount of points... :up:
Wish I had a pot so I could get some dice or ln2 for these cards..........
Anybody have a gpu pot that I can borrow for a week? :rofl:
Thanks for the help Don_Dan! Keep pushing it to the Xtreme team!
7600 GT is still on the way so I hope to get 2nd in total points soon... :up:
See what I can do after i ship out my 2 pot's to get converted and get my third tek 9. they are getting fitted with the wider pour mouths.Quote:

As long as you are both present and benching I think the scores can be for whomever you choose.
Whatever you like to do systemviper... :)
Have fun benching together!
Well just messing around with my new D0 and it looks like its on par to be the same as my C0:mad: I think it may also be the board limiting the cpu but hope not for a evga X58 LE.
If you're hitting the bclk wall you probably need to change a setting or two... Don't think that board is the best for bclk anyway but you should get 225 at least...
D0 chips are different animals.... You need to play with the voltages... Sometimes it likes less voltage and is less stable as you increase the voltage after a point...
They really like cold too. ;)
i think i can leard a lot from this team.... :up:
for SPI is it better with HT on or off?
Im pretty sure its faster with it off.
Ugh this D0 is being a pain. It's such a high VTT chip I'm at 1.6V for stability on linX and holy hot its a hot chip. Definitely glad by the time I'm done it'll have 2x thermochill PA120.3, 2x MCP655, and the Apogee XT.
W0oT, W2G linux :D , awesome submission spree, we're back on 10th!
Awesome, Linuxfan :D Next stop: OCClub at 9th place!
Way to go Linuxfan! :yepp:Quote:

i think ill bench on LN2 wednesday, hoping to get the 05 goldcup, try vantage once more and perhaps look in 03 or so?
dammit were do you guys find those deals, all the older card i see are terribly overpriced.Quote:

btw good job yerterday!!!!
so anyone have some cheap 48XX or 88XX XXX for me ?
i need new hardware to bench/mod, since i killed my 4870 i don't have much to do. I managed to grab a gold medal this afternoon, but it wasn't worth much for points.
just a site her in the netherlands, called tweakers.net
alot of 8800gts / 8800gt's there aswell, but this one is a real cheap one :D
hope it'll deliver, i want that freaking 05 cup!
So I think I'm going to get a SS:D:D:D
Thanks everybody!!!
Gotta keep pushing when I get s chance...
Anybody know where a good guide to hard CMOS these 88 gts and gt carded is? Thinking that'd unlock some performance... Especidly on water...
Mk, can sell you my 88 with a waterblock for dirt cheap this week so I can get a gtx... Both gts cards if you like... :D
Haha, you're buying new RAM, thinking about buying a SS.... you're addicted after a few days, this should be a new record! :up: :DQuote:

If I get a SS probably just be the OCZ cryo-z its nothing great but something to learn on and make the transition from water to phase.Quote:

I can get one for $400 shipped. Compared to water financially it makes more sense.Quote:

2x Thermochill PA120.3 $200

So thats $651 for a ultimate crazy cpu waterloop and the lowest it can go is ambient...so it makes sense.
First of all welcome new members :welcome:Quote:

Don I had so many mishaps with LN2 and this board that I decided to tone it down and start from scratch again. Almost threw this evga board out the windows so bad it was...
I'm testing all I can with water and then will try nitrogen again later this month.
I won't keep any hopes though this 860 doesn't scale that well with volts maybe 5.1 or 5.2ghz for vga benching and maybe get closer to k|ngp|n's 4x cpu PCMark result...
Still waiting on a good Clarkdale too :up:
Good luck! :up:Quote:

I click on the 'make public' option but nothing happens:
http://yfrog.us/0cmvi0067z
new tab?
it did that to me too the other day, it says i wasn't using approved drivers, so no way to set score public
idk if it's the same thing for you
If you do get one then decide its not strong enough for your i7 I may be interested in taking it off your hands if I havent found something by then.Quote:
