Great work hoss331, SteveRo, Linuxfan, G.Foyle, andressergio, Nugz, In-Fluence, MSIMAX & chew*! :clap: :up:
Got a little busier over the weekend, and only for less than a handful of points from the now thrashed E4600 (had up to 1.8v on air for those)! I've got a few 'niche' things to be aiming for now - finally got a half-decent e8500 ready to put in and am intruiged what the FSB capabilities of the EP45T-USB3 has (this is the cpu to do it on too). Along with a disposable E7500....more to come ;)
Nice work everyone! :up:Quote:

@ Mr Linux - much thanks, tonight I plan to focus on 06 and 01, my nearterm goal is to get the top 50 achievement. :DQuote:

Keep going guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put foot to ass!!!!!:up:
Dont'cha worry, we're coming for ya :)
Happy Days :D
Amazing what an inexpensive chip can bring for boints. Nice work team XS.
Our member G.Foyle was able to win the first stage of the AMD 'Eyes On The Prize' Target Challenge @ hwbot! Congratulations! :up:
He did not only take home a great amount of honour, but also a MSI 890FXA-GD70 and a MSI R6850 Cyclone 1GD5 Power Edition /OC! Have fun! :)
Lookin' good guys, keep it up:

Wow Mr. Foyle, much congrats!
Thanks guys :up:
Tested X5687 all day today burned almost 40L of LN2. :D
More stuff coming...
Maybe I'll take more time tomorrow and test three or more C2D chips... I need to.... :up:
Yes - wow! - you're tearing up wprime all over the place - looking good, much congrats :up::up:Quote:

Will try to test a few today. :up:
We are going to break 19K very soon. Great work everybody!
Love the LN2 580 runs G.Foyle! Hope to join you there soon with a nice '03 and Heaven run!
That sounds great, looking forward to seeing some C2D scores again! SB is sooooooooo boring. :rofl:Quote:

Keep them coming guys, and we'll break 19k in no time! :up:
Now that for a few months a 300$ chip can earn globals, and lots of them, I'm going to start binning 2600Ks :) Just a week more of tweaking this 5400 chip, then I'll hopefull have a better one.
Go for it! Looking forward to it G! :up:Quote:

You know guys as much as I like to see you Push it, i'd like to see you Push it in various categories not all the same or all those points you have worked for will be for nothing or next to nothing in the near future.....
Of course I'm speaking from the team point of view ;) It won't effect your personal rank.
Or, you guys who push the same hardware as Brian need to push harder and beat him in every bench. :up:Quote:

Beating me doesn't really matter, team total is still team total.Quote:

Good point. :)Quote:

Guess i should start modding the cards I'm only using on air then ;) and actually bench 580's.Quote:

http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...x2_22sec_494ms
those are what i got on the chip so far. pretty good start, i think i degraded the chip quite bad though.. it doesn't want to boot in at those previous settings to save its life! :)
Nice another AMD guy :up: I have a source for older chips when the place comes around, it just came last week, they had trays of older chips. If you want i can help source them for you.Quote:

Planning on getting another ud5 unless someone can talk me into something else - mobo from where? - I have no clue. :confused:
Any suggestions re the mobo I have now or a new mobo is greatly appreciated, thanks! :)
Not gonna be able to get another board for a little bit. Imagine march sometime.Quote:

idk how you guys can run 1.6v+ on air.....my cpu shutdown because of temps @ 1.5/1.55v under water. I've checked contact and it's fine
also it looks like it tops at 54x :(
could be worse i guess, I tested many sub 52X.Quote:

ok now bad news/good news
good news:
temps are sorted i guess <75oC @ 1.54/1.55 for 5.4ghz
bad news:
cannot touch bclck, 100.3=blinking cursor
Can you go higher with 53X?.........Quote:
Originally Posted by mk-ultra
yes a bit more, but i still run into the 5400mhz barrier, so i haven't mess much with it
i'll try it under SS tomorrow or later this week to see if i can improve, then i'll start benching it 2d/3d
Thats what I hear. :)Quote:

Hey man it isn't that bad. These things are still fast at 5.4. The best one out of 7 2600Ks for me was 5.3g. :rolleyes:Quote:

54 is definately a good chip - there are a lot of 52 and below.Quote:

Your chip is for sure well above average, :up:

Since I'm dead in the water on SB for the moment maybe I'll fire up the x58 UD7/W3520 and test this memory a little better.
As you suggested before, one stick at a time and what app's? :shrug:
I wonder if the memory controller will limit me? :shrug:
Nice Dragon skinned mobo job Elano :)
You might be able to run 1100mhz or more memory depends on the CPU I think.Quote:

Awesome scores MTP04! :up: :up: :up:
Nice score Yotomeczek, I'm sure you can get some more out of the card! :yepp:
Good work Messrs MTP04 and Yotomeczek! Nice scores guys!
Thanks Mr Steve and Dan. I hope to get some ln2 in the coming weeks.:)
Hope that works out well man! :up:Quote:

Ok, thanks for the info. I used both conformal and eraser on my REX, witch was my first board prep. Went ok, the board didn't die :rofl: The Dragon stuff just looks like its really easy and fast to apply, the eraser takes some time for me to do.
I usually do both conformal (brush on, let it dry, preferrably overnight) and then eraser over that with shop towel overall - is this overkill?Quote:

I think if you did the conformal right and covered everything, you really don't need eraser except a tiny bit around the socket.Quote:

If you haven't done it yet, please check out their thread in the Xtreme Overclocking subforum.
M4E P67 Rev3 board is on the EGG! :up: :D
I will wait for the giga boards!
Whats special about the Gigas now?Quote:

Mostly its just that I don't want to learn the new bios yet, also giga's seem to be getting better efficiency in SB, why I don't know.
Take a look at the top 10 of mark01 for the 580.
The BIOS is actually easy to work with... I was able to figure it out really fast. Basically you have to turn on turbo multis to OC(regular multi changing doesn't work so it seems like the board doesn't OC if you try that ;) ) then all other settings are same as giga...Quote:

'01 needs tweaking... tweak out both boards with one system and the efficiency should be on par again...
Rumor about '01 perf. on Giga versus Asus... Tweak everything then find out. ;)
P8P67 Pro rocks, I'm sure the M4E is awesome too.
Your choice. :up:
I have a M4E on the way but will have giga too so if I have time I'll test '01 difference fully tweaked for ya man. :D
If the giga boards are not avail by Monday it may be hard to resist jumping on the M4E (if there are any M4E left by then that is) :rolleyes:
Yeah hope the Gigas come out soon as well as the rest of the fleet of Asus boards... :DQuote:

They didn't last 15 minutes,

Got home 20 minutes later and it was gone ..... :(
O well, really need 2x 16x lanes anyway, but if it was there I would of had one ........ :rofl:
Sounds like I hit it at just the right time. :eek:Quote:

My board is scheduled to arrive Wednesday. :)
PCmark Vantage or 05 steve?
Does anyone know the fix for "Automation error" in Wprime, running on Win7 64bit, running as administrator or compatibility mode for Vista or XP did not fix it.
Good morning Mr. Tilt!Quote:

As I have my cascade back up and running, I plan to post a new W3520 run to the bot tonight or tomorrow. :D
I received another memory kit today, one stick is physically damaged ( knocked off two ceramic caps ), the other one is looking fine but showing errors in Memtest after a few minutes, then it locked Memtest and it wouldn't even boot up a second time with the stick installed. I don't even dare to try the second stick in my REX.... :mad: :mad: :mad:
I hope all the other stuff I bought on ebay recently arrives in working condition, I think I'll take a break from ebay now.
That guy had 100% positive feedback by the way. I hate these :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana:s...:shakes:
Sorry for the rant...
I am 5 for 5 on the nvidia cards that I bot via ebay over the past couple weeks - I consider myself very lucky!
Yah, it's not that bad, I've literally bought 100 things on ebay in the last few years, and I've only been burned three times so far. Once back in 2007 or 2008, and then two times in the last 6 months. Once with a Celeron where a SMD componend got knocked off and this time the defective memory kit. It's just too much in a short time for my liking. It was never anything really expensive thank God, only like 15 or 20 bucks.Quote:
