Will resume testing tomorrow on another OS trying for higher clocks in Superpi 1M and 32M and Wprime 32M and 1024M.
I found found some old runs from july I saved to a usb key and forgot about them.
tonight I was going through them and cant believe what I found. its been sitting there the whole time. I remember just scewing around with the mem slacked so I could see what the 655k max cpuz was.
2x 6ghz wprime runs. And they couldve been a lot better. look at my mem. I never submitted during a 655k tpower i55 session.
better late than never.
Memory doesn't affect Wprime scores so much.... Strong scores especially 1024M! Glad you found em! :up:Quote:

Also what else beside 3dmark2001 and SuperPi will get me better results than W7?
TIA
EDIT - Daniel already PM'd answer - thanks!
PMed ya. :DQuote:

Guys, Hardwareluxx is getting really really close. :shocked:
Been noticing. I'm not worried about them unless they pass 17k and 10th place then I'll have to get some more chips. :p:Quote:

What happened to JMax-Hardware? They are at 16622.70 now... Keep pushing it out guys! 10th is closer its been in a long time! :up:
Luk997 posted some great scores today pushing his three GTX 480s in single, dual, and triple SLI mode to the max! Very strong 980x clocks on water and GTX 480 overclocks!
Great work! :clap:
Very nice scores luke997! :clap:
Benching is so much more fun than modding, right? :ROTF:
PS: Thanks for the update Daniel! :up:
Haha ;) yeah, at least till I burn this CPU :DQuote:

But hey, I can't complain too much considering it's water :-)
Yeah, better be careful, it's a great clock for water cooling, don't challenge your luck. :)
Or get some LN2! ^^
Hardwareluxx had a team session this weekend, they passed JMax.... :rolleyes:
Our team member SteveRo has broken the PCMark 05 WR! :clap:
You can congratulate him here!

Big props to Marco André as well for taking two golden cups in the X6 1075T category. :up:
Great work SteveRo and Marco Andre! :up: :up: :up:
Guys with gt220's I need some help here. I cant do this all by myself.

Well I just signed up... maybe HWBOT is a bit out of my league, not sure. I figured SuperPi was a simple enough benchmark, but I find myself a little baffled. Am I supposed to write down the checksum? I can't copy it because there's another window in my way, so I'm not sure what to do. I'm just trying to find out my ranking with a Phenom II X4 955 at stock.
Is there like a list of programs that I should download? I'm thinking benchmarks, specs, heat/load monitors, etc... that are commonly used for benching.
Hwbot is temporarily down again but no worries. Just the domain name is this issue.
Need your daily hwbot fix? http://62.182.59.107/ :up:
You can find the download links for all the benchmarks on the page I linked, apart from that you only need CPU-Z, GPU-Z, MemSet/CPU-Tweaker + a program for changing GPU-clocks, many options available for this. I'm not using a temp monitoring program when benching, it either passes or it crashes... :yepp:Quote:

Sick speed, namegt! Congrats for taking down the AMD 1M WR! :up: :up: :up:
Amazing job NameGT! I am getting some more computer crap for the October single core contest but before I go any further I need to apologize to the team.
...
About 2 months ago I was benching a 665k on my th55xe and tpower i55. PcCI2iminal did a submission for wprime 32 and 1024 at 6ghz. During my benches I took a shot of the screen with my powershot so I could use as a reference while I was clocking. Well I forgot his shots were on my camera and days later when I was submitting scores I accidentally uploaded the reference image thinking they were mine from the session. Since I was also using a biostar board I got confused. I couldn't find screenshots I saved off my hard drive so I assumed it crashed before I could take any and save my results so I uploaded just the pics from the camera still thinking they were my scores. Then 2 nights ago don_dan and chew brought it up and I was accused of cheating. I know it looks really bad but I had only good intentions. So that's the story. I’m sorry to my team and I will be more careful. It will never happen again.
It was an honest mistake and I’m sure it will make some of you guys laugh at me. I’d rather you laugh and call me an idiot than a blatant cheater. I would never put the only thing that brings me this much joy in jeopardy. Although this might be amusing that for the last 2 months I thought I was a wprime genius on 655k and only until 2 days ago I found out they were actually PcCI2iminal’s results.
Its funny but its also very serious. I need to be more careful. I don't want to be called a cheater. But more importantly I don’t want to ruin it for the XS team. You’re welcome to start flaming me.
I probably deserve it.
bah that's what I'm up against with my Phenom 955 haha
Glad we got all that sorted out, I never noticed the results and I should have earlier. :up:Quote:

Thanks everyone. I can only hope the admins are as understanding you guys and give me the benefit of the doubt. I am going to make it up to my team. I think I have a good chance of making some good team contributions this month.
If you had a buck for every mistake you made, you'd be a millionaire... unless you're willing to make mistakes on my behalf.Quote:

Its crazy. I'm kicking myself in the balls still.
Mistakes happen, now enough yappin and figure out a way to tag along with msimax next trip up here or some other means of travel.
I will whip you into shape really quick :) :up:
Brian is right, give yourself a break. No harm was done and the issue was taken care of. It's all good! :)
Now get back to benching! :up: :D
PS: Thanks!
Okay thanks guys for being good friends. the ups man just left. this is what we're dealing with:
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...h/IMG_2845.jpg
these are for the single core contest for oct.
the boards I have are 1 intel p5k3 dlx. its old. Its buggy as hell, posts half the time and im trying to flash the bios atm.
for amd boards I have the trusty TA790GX A3+ and the TA880GB+ should be here tomorrow. I need to get my os's set up tonight and then figure out why pc2005 never completes the tests.
I just read your post Alv,Quote:

you made me smile BZ bone. I was so down about this. It really affected me and I'm just grateful to have you and the rest of the boys to support me. I really thought I was gonna see a bunch of mean posts telling me "we want you off the team" and "we cant take chances with this guy." its been totally the opposite. I'm really glad you guys are being understanding. it means a lot to me. :)
I just want to come back this month with some heavy points to make up for it all. :up:
Hit me up on MSN/AIM if you need any help ( especially with my only Asus love, the P5K3D, treat her right and she'll show you her bright smile :D )
man I remember back in the day you and I sold our souls to this board and those early micron D9 kits. ;)

Hey...buddy, things happen !
Let's forget the bad & strive for the good ;)
I can see the goodness of brotherhood here in XS, nice, very nice !:clap:
On behalf of the team I would like to thank hwbot staff for the following.
In lieu of recent events I just want to thank the hwbot staff for bringing this to our attention, and handling the matter both quickly and professionally whilst also being understanding and a big :up: for great communication in this matter.
Thx guys.
Going out to get 55L of LN2 for the 980x 3003B475...
Wish me luck!
Good luck! :up:Quote:

LN2 is here are waiting. Prepping OSes and insulating in the morning then BENCHING! :D
Thanks for the update Daniel.
The laptops were fun to test. Actually still have some more CPU testing to do. :up:
push it! :D :D :DQuote:

Here's what I was able to get today... I'm sure there's more clocks in the CPU though still feeling it out.
Superpi32M, 1M, and pifast next. :up:
Kneaded eraser is good for "low" temp benching, as in temps being hold nearly statically in the -70 to -90C range.
For any kind of long term benching with seriously low temps ( -120 and higher ) kneaded eraser is only going to cause issues, it's going to get moist, and in an hour or so you'll be having water dripping in every corner of it.
Ah fair play
Even in the -30 to -40 range I sometimes get bleeding, but othertimes I don't, not sure why
Haven't got that cold yet (sadly :( ) so I guess I'll just have to find out.
I was at -182 for a few hours with this chip... The room was pretty dry(basement that is temperature controlled) so the condensation wasn't so bad. It did get wet though. :down:Quote:

What are you running Linuxfan ?
Was running a lapped Q6600 G0 with some Crucial Ballistix D9 mem in a EP45-UD3P rev 1.0 board but had a CBB. Wasn't sure where the hot gas bypass valve was so I just had to shut 'er down. :(Quote:

Will either test out the Q6600 on Cascade, Q9450 for the gold(and hope it doesn't CB at -120oC) or slap a Ceader Mill CPU in my DFI P35 T2R board to try for some 7ghz+ CPU-Z action on LN2(either the 347, 356, one of the 631s or a 651). :up:
Too much to do and too little time. ;)
Try lowering the CPU PLL Voltage ( sub-specs ) it may lower the CBB & CB.
In the most recent stage of the ASUS 1156 Overclocking Championship, two of our members entered Top 10, chew* and FUGGER came in 5th and 7th respectively. Zeneffect made 15th place in this stage!
Good luck for the next stage! :up:
In HWBot's OC Challenge October, thanks to some excellent submissions by chew* and G.Foyle, the team is currently ranked 2nd in the overall ranking, while still holding the record in the 3DMark Vantage stage. Nice work! :)
it appears in overall standings, we have beat out to oca guys for the time being as well. :yepp:Quote:

Seems like the chip doesn't like to be overfrozen, didn't get much farther with clocks than my runs with the EP45T-UD3LR board and the SS unit. Seemed like it had a coldslow or something though, results started getting super slow at high speeds. :shrug:
Might try on air tomorrow and see what I can figure out.
Cascade runs great. :D
me and chew this past weekend. massman wont let me submit in the oct. contest with his card. but for the record.
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...870_9827_marks
The score Chew* got was higher so it wounldn't make a difference at all if you posted that score.Quote:

Why don't you try some PCMark sometime with your three SSDs? I"m sure that'd be fun. :D
It's not just massman just the rules, you could submit to contest but not for HWbot points......but for contest only highest score counts.Quote:

I almost killed my chip trying to match your chip for core clocks and still shy of 100 mhz :(
Your ram being higher on your 5850 means little in vantage, when we pretested the 5870 was worth over 500 points more stock versus your 5850 card clocked ;)
Plus i'm willing to kill my card ;) would hurt far less than if we killed yours.
Good job guys :up: I can't wait to be back for more PCM05.
So I bought 50l of LN2 today, and finished installing OSs and insulating the first board about an hour ago... The first board I wanted to give a spin was the Commando...
I entered Win with the pot mounted, but still at ambient temps, pulled it down to 100°C, everything was fine, so I rebooted at higher voltages. SetFSB'd my way up, crashed, CPU INIT error. :rolleyes:
After heating up to about 70°C and unmounting everything it worked again, so I started again, pulled it down to 150°C, and used SetFSB again. At about 5.3GHz it crashed, CPU INIT error, and now I can't get rid of it. So far my LN2 session is a complete failure. :(
I'm open to new ideas...
If I can't get rid of it I'll stop for today, and try the REX tomorrow.
Right when I thought I had figured it out, CPU INIT again. Every second crash results in this stupid error, then I have to heat up to less than -70°C, then it will boot again.
I learned a lot today, and burned only 7 liters... could be worse.
try putting all voltages and temps on the board on ignore :up: let me boot colder. Also booting with the highest speed possible is key to getting the furthest while using setfsb. Good first run man :) You will learn to love herQuote:

I hope all this will help to get rid of that error. :shakes:
I read some threads about that error in the past hour, but it seems like there is no real solution.
-123c man o man that is a sweet unit.... time to crush that chip :up:Quote:

Hope you get those commando LN2 issues figured out Daniel. It can be a real PITA to get stuff up to speed and figure out settings.
No one?Quote:

Ill try it again.

Click for high frequency! ;)
At first I spent some more time with the 347, and managed to get up to 6785MHz, but after changing chips it turned out the 352 is a lot better.

NameGT posted an impressive AMD 1M score and the team broke 15800 points today. :clap:
PS: We are back in the lead in HWBot's OC Challenge October! :up:
Nice run Don_Dan you hit the 7s! :D
I gotta try my luck with a few cellys and P4s when I get back from vacation....
Does anybody have a 980x they'd like to sell? Need a retail chip. :up:
ummm if you wait a while no need to buy one ;) unless its for 2d.Quote:

I didn't want to change CPUs yet again as the air was very humid today and a lot of ice was already building up around the pot, so I tested some other stuff like Maxxmem and max FSB, but I just couldn't burn more LN2. Since I have to return the dewar tomorrow morning, there was no other possibilty than pouring it away. :(
I was very sad to see the rest of the LN2 go to waste, but the giant LN2-cloud that was wafting through the garden was a nice view, I've to admit that. ;)
I'll post the results tomorrow when I had a chance to look through all the screenshots, unfortunately WPrime did no longer work when I was on LN2, and when I noticed that it was already too late to install another OS. It doesn't matter much for the E6300, but the E8400 will have to be revisited in due time.
:up:great work with the e8400
i wanna see you freeze some rams :D
To freeze memory first you must have a purpose, second you must have an imc worth the time.Quote:

I downloaded RealTemp 3.6 in a .rar and even after unzipping, all .exe's aren't compatible with the 955BE? What's going on here?
Are your running it as admin?
Yep, it just gives me a dialog box saying AMD Phenom II X4 955 is not supported.
