I don't even know why it died lol.
Sorry about that. It was on the stock cooler ><

Massman even made a newspost about hitting 400k views! Check it out! :up:
Keep the OC spirit strong, XS, and looking forward to seeing more action from the team!

Thanks, I'm very happy! :)
On Saturday I'll be going to the Asus ROG Camp in Berlin, so far it has been a great week and I think Saturday will be no different! :yepp:
Keep me updated on the CFR binning! :up:
Half the world lurks this place :D
Congratulations on this achievement guys :toast: , well done !
I'm back from ROG Camp, it was a perfect combination of delicious food, nice people and great hardware - to make a long story short it was great fun! :)
Asus brought a few M5Es and HD 7970s and five 3770ks. stummerwinter pretested them and chose two for LN2 testing, the other three were pretty crappy ( ~1.45V @ 5GHz 32M ). Originally some setups should have been build using all the components so everyone could try the hardware on air, but SoF and stummerwinter prepared their systems for LN2 and somehow everyone gathered around them. :D
SoF ran GTX 580 triple SLI and stummerwinter tested both CPUs from Asus under LN2, later on he switched to his personal CPU but all three were facing a CB at -120?C, so after switching CPUs, memory and PSU he had to change the board. I was pouring LN2 for SoF on his setup, and apart from some other scores he managed to set a new triple card Unigine Heaven DX9 WR. Well done Chris! :up:
After about two hours of benching SoF had to stop benching and thaw up, so I grabbed a M5E, the three CPUs that were left ( two 3770k and one 3570k ES ) and some memory that Asus brought and tested the chips for their IMC capabilities. We knew we were off to a great start after the first 3770k gave us "23" at 1200MHz. :rofl:
After switching CPUs to the second 3770k I was able to boot 1200MHz but 1300MHz ended in "55". I asked for some of SoF's memory and chose a GeIL 2400 CL11 kit which had Hynix CFR for sure. Switching the memory made booting at 1400MHz possible and also running 32M at that frequency. Trying to boot 1466MHz ended in "23" again, but I got 1449.1MHz through BCLK tuning.
The 3570k was a bit better, booting at 1400MHz was fine and I got 1452MHz through BCLK tuning. After booting at 1466MHz gave me "55" I switched memory again but even with some G.Skill 2600 CL10 with Samsung ICs I wasn't able to boot at 1466MHz. On the 1400MHz divider I got 1450MHz. Neither of the kits was able to boot at CL12. :shrug:
These are all the validations I made:

Thanks to Asus for the great event! :up:
Yeah, it was great to meet other overclockers and bench a bit, there should also be a lot more photos coming in the next few days. :up:
This event was hosted for the first time, part one was held in November, part two last weekend. I hope it will be done again in the future. :)
Nice stuff Dan!
Thanks Sam! :)
Hey George,
You made the news at HWBot! :)

The article for the Asus ROG Camp is up too. Check out some pics! ( Click on the second pic where it says "Bildergalerie" )
Seems like I managed to post in the entire wrong section somewhere further up in the forums, so I will C&P the whole thing into this way more suited thread as it seems:
Hello fellow combatants! :D
I know I am probably the most inactive member over at Hwbot, not having uploaded a single score for like 3 years or even more, but my plans are to do some benching every now and then again. Due to several reasons, I just left the team I originally founded and at which I did my part on reaching global #1 a good while ago (team PC Games Hardware that was). Now I joined the team where everything started for me back in the days, XtremeSystems.
Link to my Hwbot profile: http://hwbot.org/user/fr3ak_2/
Due to my lack of infinite money, I am not aiming for one of the top spots, but give me some more time and I will be back in the game of silly numbers and mass destruction of lifetime again :)
On to conquering the universe and beyond! :toast:
Oliver
Welcome back, looks like you've found the right thread now! :D
Don't worry, I've moved your thread to this section too. ;)
for now, im not benching. too much work when Im at home, and right now... im in the Czech Republic on vacation. I will post up my findings for Heaven + AMD/ATi when I get back. Ive found some very interesting "tweaks"
Welcome to the team Oliver!:up:
Hey guys, please note that the Aquamark3 HWBot Wrapper will be updated soon!
Massman has posted the stages for the next Team Cup:

It will start on February 1st.

I've got a 7 GHz 955 so should do well.
There might be some more changes to the stages as the hardware limitations are still discussed at the HWBot forum. I'll make a thread when the limitations are fixed and the competition is listed at the front page.
The stages have been updated again:

not sure why 3D efficiency is so off.
Wow, she's a keeper! :D
