I should be able to pick up a couple global points with my 5870 in heaven! :)
congrats daddy-turd! NICE JOB!
Ive been having nothing but trouble in DEC contest.
so far the 370 board is just spinning fans so no go
socket A. the 2 nf7 i bought on ebay for 3 bux plus 15 for shipping that I thought I could fix was a no go. so i have a 3200 barton here that i have no idea what its capable of/
754: I found a 754 nf3 ultra DFI on ebay with a busted cap and I have 2 mobile 4000 and a ddr booster but Im too scared to mess with the cap. I need you help guys. I want to take it off one of the horse crap nf7 and solder it on but its a jap cap and not sure how it will play/
939: got some dice today to try on the dfi infinity on my 170 opteron. pain in the ass. this bench session took me 5 hrs. I had to stick dice pellets on the sb because the cooler was broken. and out of 3 sets of ch5 they all sucked do to board limitation.
the only kit that did anything was the 2x256 kit of gskill tccd. and I managed to fail yet again. just 23sec from top 5.
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...in_49sec_110ms
sucks.
478 someone else has this one so I wont bother.
all in all i forgot how crappy dice is to ln2 and how easy it is to clock a clarksdale and submit a score with a simple pin mod.
this is a nightmare. I wanted to make you proud guys but I feel like I have no help here. I have 4 stages I am trying to do on my own.
Update from today....
Benched a bit with the new SS unit and tested the Q9450 in the EP45-UD3P board.
SS unit runs great. Thanks to Gray Mole for the beautiful unit!
It ran -42 to -44oC with the chip idle and after about 7 Wprime 1024M and 32M runs it dipped down to -39oC but I never saw it get warmer than that. :up:
Finally got efficient scores in Wprime with that CPU so I can get a 5th place in 1024M with 4074mhz(508FSB). Problem is, I couldn't get over 511FSB it would crash at 511FSB right after the 32M run. Tried bunch of voltage settings and I think its maybe a setting I'm missing or the mobo? :shrug:
I got 525FSB on the EP45T-UD3LR with a warmer SS unit last time I tested this chip so I'm going to throw it on that board tomorrow and see how it goes.
After I get Wprime cleared away with this CPU I'll hit Superpi32M with a properly tuned OS for some fun.
Here are some pics of the SS unit in action today!
Hey thanks for the 'honorable mention' :)
I love building them, but I don't get to play around benching so it's great to see it in action! Especially that your benching for the XS team :D
That one saw about -37c at 260w testing, and was good for around 320w max, so you're not really pushing it too much just yet. I think it'll work fine with what I estimate a 6 core at for load, and hopefully one day we'll see that too :)
Looks good, though I think you should chop up an old case into a 'benching frame and just bolt it to the top of the cooler :D would look great painted black to match, and make your life easier with the mobo.
Hope you like that line too, the blue light's even prettier in the dark :ROTF: though I guess that's not really what you were getting it for ;)
That's great though, really good to see it get used. Should take a kicking and keep cooling for a good long time :)
Gray
Mr Linuxfan keep it up, your SS looks very nice also!
You could run Heaven DX 11 on your 5870, but Heaven doesn't need many cores, so disable HT, clock it up and assign it to 4 cores. ;)
3DMark 11 is not ranked at HWBot yet.
Thanks Gray! :up:
:up:
Tested the SS unit for about 6hrs straight and it worked beautifully again.
I must have hit around 260w load because this time I was able to make it drop down to -37oC after about 5 Wprime 1024M runs in succession on 4 cores at 1.8V CPU. :D
Got 2nd place in Wprime 32M and 1024M, just couldn't manage to beat the guy in first. Really makes me embarrassed too because he's on air apparently with his chip... I guess its a "cherry" sample. :p:
I got a higher FSB with the EP45T-UD3LR board though maybe its my settings somewhere. :shrug:
One more picture to show the tubing with the light through it.
Sorry that the pictures haven't been that good, trying to work on that and get better lighting in here soon.
Pushing Superpi32M tomorrow. Got a good fresh OS ready.
Congrats to Aerou on winning the Gigabyte Core contest and making insane 2-Core Wprime scores with his 655k getting 2nd and 4th globally! :clap:
My chip turned out to not be good enough for the 4x catagory, it was definitely a tough contest. :cool:
http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6...mber19th20.jpg
Nice going guys, a special congrats to Aerou for winning the 2 core stage of the Gigabyte Prime Challenge and for posting some xtremely nice scores! :up:
It's great that we're well past 17500 points now too! :clap:
@Linuxfan: I want to see you push that REX! :p:
http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/623...mber20th20.jpg
chew* and msimax have benched together and posted some nice scores for the 4850 category! :clap:
Aerou has pushed his 655k to 6660MHz and there's more left in that chip! :shocked:
Last but not least Zeus and eRazorEDGE posted two scores for the 5870 Crossfire category of Heaven DX11. :up:
here is something from me without any points!!
still not using the SR-2
Nice points everyone!
Congrats to you Mr Tiltevros - nice sandra for sure!
When do you get your SDR-2 back?
I got my 3rd abit nf7s and was able to install windows so I am hoping to have some decent 462 results in stage 1. I went across the bot and looked for abit nf7 results to see what cpus the guys had for spi 32 and stumbled across this beauty.
admins beware. its a simple mistake on the submitters part. He just selected the wrong board. just thought you might want to make him aware of it. :)
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...in_22sec_770ms
I gave up on the 370 stage because the board is just not going at all.
as for my 754 I have mobiles so I shaved off the brackets so they would make contact but on both boards I get a post beep and shut off immediately after. any ideas?
no post at all. its so strange. I have 2 of the best chips for this damn thing and ln2 and the good ram and the board is holding me back.
oh man and that abit nf7-s2 and the 3200 barton. that was a match made in heaven and I had the os installed last night on it and it was going so smooth and I flashed to TICTAC's bios cpc disables and it all went well. i reboot and get in the bios and see the amazing options including multi up. I go 2 multis up and reboot and no post. no matter what I do it seems dead. ive tried all the ram differnt slots / kits, cmos, delete key and power up. no post at all. that 3 nf7 this month.
as for 754 I figured get the best boards and that was the chaintech vnf3/znf3 and the dfi nf3 and 4000+ mobiles. this would be the ultimate setup paired with the ocz ddr booster and my vintage collection of tccd/nh5/ch5 I thought i had this stage for sure.
got the chaintech insulated and I was adjusting my rods just with ice in the container. the mobiles are tricky because the contact area is bare core and very tricky to mount. well something went wrong somewhere down the line because its not posting now. I have 2 of each chip.
I have a netflix acct and hate waiting for the dvd/Br to show up. so I bought ROKU player. Its amazing. its 79 bux little box and you can stream your netflix movies wireless. so the other day i was looking for old kungfu movies and came across some old jackie chan movies. there is this one called "thunderbolt." its jackie chan as a rally race car driver and it rules! he can drive man. anyway in the movie chan's car crashed in the try outs and hes out of a car. then the next day a girl who he found her lost earing at the beginning of the movie comes in with a trailer with 2 identical fully tweaked rally cars and 25 sets of expensive racing tires.
she says if you crash one you have the other one to finish the race with.
this is what we are doing. I never really got it before and when people ask me what overclocking is I tell them its like taking the governor off your car so you can exceed the intended speed. but its much more. were racing computers. and I know you guys have known this for years but I never felt this way.
anyways. I feel like that babe came here with a bunch of boards and 2x everything but I ended up crashing all my cars while driving to the tryouts. I didnt even get in the tryouts and crash them at that time. I crashed them all before even getting to the racetrack.
I wish you guys would kick my ass right now. i deserve it.
Heres a list of the hardware I have:
1. stage one amd socket A
nf7 (x2 vanilla) ************DEAD
nf7 s2 **************DEAD
3200+ barton
2. 478 (not participating in this stage)
3. 754
dfi lanparty nf3 250 gb ************* DEAD
chaintech znf3-250********** DEAD
2x mobile 4000+
4. 370
Asus CUSL2*********** DEAD
pentium 3 1.4 (x2)
5. 939
dfi infinty dagf nf4*********board limited
biostar tforce 6100
opteron 170
WOW what a depressing post Trans. All that dead hardware and only 1 result to show and its not even from the pile of dead hardware. Sorry to hear that dude.:(
On the brighter side, you can still try to improve on the 939 stage if your still up for it. With those clocks you should be able to shave ~ 30 seconds of your time and even more if you can tighten up your ram timings.

is the zotac 580 amp edition a reference card with a tweaked bios?
stevero
nice acard christmas lights lol, what did you replace your sata controller with?
merry christmas team.xs
Merry Christmas Mr Hondacity, Currently using an areca 1880-16port great card but only supports acards at sata150.
By the way, I am starting to make some progress with a 920 D0, strange CBB I can only run sub zero two channel not three - odd.
This is not on the bot yet because I am just getting started (I know I can do 4800) but this is the #1 920 and #7 4x core in pcm05 - :D -
http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/6...15920pcm05.png
The Zotac 285 is a reference card and I'm extremely disappointed with its clocking abilities(or disability :rolleyes: )
Anyhow the Orange PCB 480 has been great so far. :up:
:shocked:
You're cooking up something big there I see! #1 PCM05 with the 920 is a big achievement already!
Let me know if you need to buy my W3570 for 5.3ghz+ on Cascade to get #1 in 4x PCM05. :D
Merry Christmas Team XtremeSystems!
Hope you all have a fun weekend! :bounces:
2 extra GOLD CUPS for Christmass :D
Congrats, well done and Merry Christmas Mr Tiltevros!
Yes, that is an achievement!
Wow - 50 gold cups!
Much congrats and Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Xmas beloved competitors, don't forget the team trailing you :p

Nice work guys, still pushing hard, even in the last week of the year! :up:
jesus steve you are tearing it up! great work :)
steveRO is the PCmark master, Nice!
my classified is dead apparently(no post code, no nothing), i just hope the didn't 980x went with it
Thanks MK, your classified - take the battery out and let it sit, maybe even over night? bake it?
man TA i cant bear to read about your bad luck....dont worry, with your ingenuity you will overcome i am sure of it :)
Hey guys...
Please let us all observe a minute's silence in memory of Jon Magoon, known as loonym on the forums, who lost his fight with cancer a year ago... :(
Thanks.
i already experienced the FF no post bios chip problem before yerterday, it was completely different. The post code led didn't even light up last night
but after an off night
+ half a dozen cpu reseat> that bring the lcd post code back
+ messing 15min to pass the ff code
=i'm back baby!
everytime my board haven't runned for a while i get the ff bug, i usually get it to boot like that: only 1 stick of ram no cpu cooler and i push the bios chip and it's a succeful post. This board is now a real PITA to boot. But once it's warmed up i never get the ff bug again. I contacted EVGA yesterday about my no post code...i'll grab the opportunity to tell them about the cold boot problem to see what they think
anyway now i can at least make a few runs of maxxmen for the country cup!
Don_Dan :(
im No9 in SisoftSandra WR's :D trying to understand Wprime 32m and 1024m but i dont have a clue how to modify my OS :S so any ideas guys? im at 3,68sec @ Wprime 32m and 102sec @ Wprime 1024m
I didnt know about Jon. Thats sad donny. as many hardware woes we have they are nothing in the big picture. this post puts everything in perspective. We all need to oc while we are still here. I know we are far apart and we are on this forums and on the team and pushing each other and I know to some its just a forum but this is my 2nd family and if anything were to happen to you guys it would be a sad day on so many levels. its important we keep together and stay as a family.

from the other night when i couldn't get it to post i still have a r3x in my shopping cart over Ne.ca :D
but as long as it's fine, i still love it and i don't think a r3x will bring much more than the classy for what I do with it.
@mk-ultra You should change your name to Aquaman. I had no idea! yeah screw the RX3 and just set the cash aside for the water bill.
not since boblemagnifique have I seen such amazing clocks attributed to water. :) thats awesome! Im sorry i never paid attention and just now seeing your scores and the fact that youre canadian. man i love the trailer park boys. \\
this guys is rad.

on another note I found out why my CUSL2-C wouldnt work with my cpus. see what happens when you dont do your research?
I guess I need to do this. anyone that has experience with this mod please lemme know. I'm thinking at this point I should just snap the pins off.
this is what I have

http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...ad.php?t=85990
this is a guy in the top of 370 stage and he has my setup.
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...in_23sec_156ms
QUOTE: random
First off my specs...
ASUS CUV4X-E Coppermine Socket370 rev1.05. BIOS 1005 Beta.
OEM Celeron Tualatin 1.0A.
Anyways... I started off by removing the three red pins. AN3, AJ3, and last but not least AK4. I know you guys reccomend against physically removing the 3 pins. But let me finish...
Next I put the tually in my board and it posted as Intel Celeron@ 667Mhz! By default, the board was running it at 66Mhz. I was surprised it got it right, but my board isn't that old anyways. I couldn't believe it posted on my first try!
Right away I went to the voltage settings and it was at 2.30v!! I was like holy crap, hopw is it running this high? When I went to select the voltage, to my dismay 2.30 was the lowest I could choose from! Highest being 2.90v. Temps were hitting low 60 degrees celsius... My hs/f is good but not at that voltage! So I shut down and let it cool off.
Next thing I had to do was get the default volatage down... So I took my motherboard out and flipped it upside down. Instead of nail polish, or IDE cable wires, conductive paint etc wrapping the pins on the CPU itself.. I just soldered a piece of 40 conductor IDE wire from AM34(VSS) to AK36(Vid25m) on the back of the motherboard. This was soooo easy compared to trying to wrap the damn pins on the cpu, which is what I tried before.
Having done the soldering, I put the board back in and went into the BIOS to check to see what my voltage choices were...! I was shocked... My voltage choices were now 1.25v lowest, all the way up to 1.55v! This was great! I could now choose 1.5v if I wanted. So I put the FSB at 100 and voltage at 1.5v and botted into windows xp. No problems, ran everything... games, prime95, sisoft sandra burn in for hours. Everything was perfect! But now I wanted to overclock... Maximum of 1.55v was not going to get me far at all... Got me to 112FSB but that was it.
So I proceeded to solder another wire to AM34(VSS)... this time it was AL37(Vid2). Having soldered that... I went into the bios and could now select voltages from 1.55v ~ 1.95v! I knew this was perfect.. I am now running at 1400Mhz, 140x10, 1.65v STABLE. I'm going to try for 1450 and 1500. I'll let you guys know how high I can get this chip. Although I'm pretty happy at 1400Mhz.
This was my first mod of this kind ever, and I guess I'm extremely lucky it worked out so perfect. I wouldn't have been able to do it without all the great suggestions in this thread. Thanks everyone.
I'm glad to hear you're doing well! :)
PS: Looks like kagula323 a.k.a. BotSkill left the team... :(
happy new year guys hoppe the best for u and to ur families :D
Don_Dan can u help me OC my E5520 plz im really need some help here
Next rev coming soon? :D
Thanks! :)
I'm sorry, I'm not even too familiar with overclocking the i7 family, let alone two of them on the SR2. Did you check out this thread in the Intel section?
If you PM jcool I'm sure he'll help you out as well.
I heard it will be launched 1st February, but there will be a beta test server first anyway.
Here are this year's first great scores:

Good work Messers. Chew and Extreme Solid!
Just a heads up, looking forward to testing a GTX 480 in the upcoming weeks of this month, hopefully in all the 3d benches including 3dmark01 through vantage plus AM3 and Heaven DX11. :up:
MTP04 posted a nice 03 single card score yesterday, check it out! :up:
Thanks Dan but I still think its a low score for the setup. My GT2/3 are pretty low compared to other people with similar gpu clocks. Not sure if its my OS or the REX/E8600 platform being inferior in those game tests.:shrug:
Anyway it looks like my "good" rampage has taken a turn for the worse. I tested it again the other night and I just couldn't get it to bench past 600fsb:(. I have a second rampage that can still handle high fsb(630+) but the Fujitsu cap under the cpu is bulging so bad that I don't want to risk my cpu on it. I guess Sandy Bridge couldn't come at a better time for me.:D
Any guys in the US going to participate in the Hwbot country cup?
I tried to push vistageek92 a little so maybe he'll give us a Heaven score... :D
I've already motivated my fellow countrymen! :cool:
Just a guess, but the added stress of the GTX 580 might cause the motherboard to clock worse, maybe because some voltages drop? What's you PSU?
Or the REX is really dead. :(
Btw, good luck to those competing in MOA! :up:
In case some of you guys missed it, here's the Live Score Board!
you read my mind. I just posted something similar in the xs country cup thread in the competitions section.
We gotta get USA in this.
I think our best USA clockers are in MOA so that might be the reason we are so far behind.
someone in the USA must have a 580 and an internet connection.
okay lemme see what I can do. 3 days left in stage 1. I am limited to a gtx460. I am going to get Dr kim to unplug a gtx580 and tell him how to get it all installed.
USA XS Guys in MOA. we have all the usa boys on xtremesystems rooting for you. Just keep your beers down and your clocks high. 46 min left?
Usa trifecta.
32m moa
proud of you guys. who is the MC? why is he even in the same time zone?
Get Vince from the shamwow commercials next time. at least we'd be entertained.
USA needs to represent in CC.
THey did their part.
finally we placed USA. in HWBCC
http://hwbot.org/competition/country...?tab=stage%201
Your right, a stronger video card or running 2 or more cards puts a bigger load on the cpu and it may not clock as high as with a single card or a lower performing card but this isn't the case for me. I had the system benching with the gfx card before at 6.3ghz, a few weeks back, with no issues. But now I can't even get into windows, even at 6.2ghz.:shakes: This is with the Antec TPQ-1200 psu.
Hm, that doesn't sound good, seems like the REX is about to die. :(
But it deserves a special place, it served you well for a long time!
And I see you already got yourself some new toys! :up:
All you guys going crazy over SB:

You guys make me want to play as well! :rofl:
transam good work with stage 1.
im joining stage 2....any tips?
its a country cup...
oh well...have fun
its fine..i never ran the damn benchmark myself lol
I can do stage2 / stage 4 RE is wrking with stt/ and stage 5 I'll ask somebody to help out here.
stage 6 no amd for me :D ..this is chew territory
stage 3 will be interesting... i think Fugger is doing igp
that makes 3 of us. I never ran Maxmem either.
I ran and got 1169. now where it says verification link in submit. where is that url?
oops I need to run 2:6 divider I ran 2:10
-------------------------
okay basically it goes like this. you need to be on the lowest divider. which means your mem frequency is going to be in the 600-700 range.
this means you need to run at 5 and 6 mem timings.
so your mem is running way below spec.
the only way to get high scores in this is to have xtreme cooling on the cpu and run high cpu frequency. I have a xeon 3540 and a x58 sabertooth.
the board is not insulated and I wasnt planning going to my ln2 spot. but this seems like the only way to get anything in this one. also note that you will be beyond 200+ bcklk so your qpi will need to run run lower to compensate for the increased qpi. thats all i have atm. Its a total pain in the ass. but what did we expect.
Yep, make sure you get all the right stuff in the screenshot too. Read the rules carefully and double check Trans am... :up:
Looking forward to seeing what you two got comin'!
I pushed MaxxMEM today for the country cup so the first US submission is up.
Tested today on air with the rig out the window in the snow. :D
did I do it right?
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...m_1026.3_marks
okay I benched again.
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...ram_1100_marks
is this better?
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...m_1166.4_marks
how do I get the url to make it count?
man I should just spray the board down and stick a container on it with some icewater and watch it go. this is my 24/7 rig and I dont feel like taking it all down for this. Or making an ln2 run.
I really want to score a 2500k and a GA-H67MA-UD2H or a BIOSTAR TP67XE next but the cold bug problem is making me hold off. I'm used to clarksdales and even this 1366 sabertooth its totally new to me.
all the new hdwr has me confused. like the 6950/6970 mod. that means nothing to me if I cant run cold on it.
same goes for gulftown. if there is no cold mods then there is no point. I didnt shell out 400 bux a month ago for a gemini and a slim vga pot from vince so I could keep it in a box in my closet. Are you dudes on the same page? Is AMD about to release some stuff? I would rather hold off on something I can freeze. its rad that intel can clock 5ghz on air on a 4 core and that would be my dream if i was 25 again and limited to h20. but I have gotten older and have invested a lot into xtreme cooling and i think its just a matter of time before someone like hicookie figures it out. I am gonna wait it out. I know a lot of you feel the same as me about this.
just got back....rods are missing...i got some spare long rods...sheet dremel time....thanks for the tips linuxfan...
jody's maxmem is freaky ...
im not to damn savvy with win764 so bear with the results..its sucks lol
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5...5/7d54c907.jpg
Wow, right when we hit 18k, someone leaves and we drop back to 17k and are now ranked 12th. Great. :shakes:
PcCI2iminal
I am pretty sure he switched just for Country Cup, at least that's what he did last year if I remember correctly.
Dude I have no idea how the hell this happened.
take a look. I saved the file from maxmem as proof this is no photoshop bullcrap.
I AM NOT JOKING DUDES> THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT!!!!
okay what I did was did maxed my uncore and tuned to 5-5-5- and lowered the cpu a bit. I got into windows and clicked maxmem shortcut on my desktop and it took forever to get to the start bench button to become active. Once I hit it the bottom bar was going along and it hanged around the middle and the screen went white except for the task bar. I couldnt see the desktop...just the maxmem window and then the desktop background came back and after a while the maxmem bar kept going again and I was expecting the no score or a really low one.
and then this happened.
I saved the maxmem file so I have proof. took as many pics as I could and made a screen shot. it happened exactly as described and I am dumbfounded. its rad though.
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...m_6235.5_marks
Nice! I knew you could get 1500+ with that setup! :clap:
@Honda: Time for you to get an efficient result, even if you work on it with air or water or SS I think with your chip you can pass my result just check my tips again and get it tuned with the right OS......
Lets see a proper score. :cool:
as a country team we got 2 points :D finally in the rankings...
hopefully our amd guys will do good....nf4? what the fluck is that? lol
