yep gb suck with high bclk...this however should shine with an unlocked multiplier...
its a known issue with gb x58 extreme....the pcie bus is whats limiting the high bclk runs...i tried pcie @ 102mhz and it would crash LOL
gb plans on releasing x58a--------revisions but i don't think they will come out..
yeah somethings wrong with my raid0
i'm using the intel controller on my motherboard...dunno what i did wrong..it sucks :|
its plain jane setting up the raid0
So this is for real? Damn lol. I got one of my best Xeons in there. Time for a CPU swap :S
@jcool
when you said 450mb/s was that 32bit or 64bit os?
Vista 64...
well i haven't done i single interesting score, this "new" 3520 turned out to be a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: under cold, or it's my limited skills idk.
one thing i know is that it seems to be cold bugged for dice every now and then i got the "FF" no boot. To boot i loosen the pot and turn it a bit and it booted right away.
i just poped in my old 3520, with the pot direct on the die. I haven't had a single FF no boot problem with it so far, just BSOD but that was expected :D.
i also experiment something wierd while trying to get a 3d score. when i pushed the cpu above 4600 my fps dropped dramatically(more than half) just like it was in slow qpi or something i have no idea. I wonder if anyone experiemented something like this
I'll focus on 3DMVA from now on to at least make a score worth it. i'm running it 751/1235 @4850 as i'm writing this
fps drops because of pcie very high...i suggest lower pcie...til scores are higher...its a pita to do so...you'll lose alot of cpu mhz but its the problem with this 21x multiplier...
my max validation at 5.4fghz was using high pcie...i lowered it to around 112 to bench 3d....
im not sure what pcie you are using...
i hope this helps :)
get the 3570 :) low bclk :) and high multi :D
stop teasing me with the 3570 :)
they are so damn expensive here in Canada
i was using 115pcie, if i have time i'll pop the other 3520 into the mobo to verify it
i'm now using 112 and it seem fine, so i guess this is it
thanks
233 blck failed, back to 230 to AT LEAST make a screenshot of something

The last few days saw contribution by many people! :up:
xoqolatl has posted a new record for a single HD 4830 in 3DMark Vantage, Chew* has posted a 06 run with 2 x 4870X2, our youngest member BeepBeep2 has pushed his 5600+ X2 some more and of course, long time no see on hwbot, PcCI2iminal has posted results for all his new toys. Thanks to all of you, we are approaching 6650 points! :clap:
I only need HD4870 (not tried yet) and HD4890 (been there, but SF3D dethroned me with his miraculous bios) cups to be the Vantage King of HD4800 series :D
This is great work by all involved. I'm jealous since I haven't been able to do much lately. I hope I can get back to posting some scores soon.
good job guys...wish i could bench too...i'm kinda tired buying dice..my cpu is sorta acting up :) time to give it and myself some rest
Very nice guys.
I will set up for more PCMark05 runs, but still need a lot of HDD power to get the 1st and 2nd.
One thing I don't get is how this result is done with such a low hardware spec and speed:
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm05=1987222
What else you guys suggest me running with my current hardware that could get us a few more points?
That's DDR3 and probably Acard power for ya... it's not always the highest Mhz that counts, though it helps :)
What model card do you have?Quote:

don_dan thanks for the update :D
chew will that uberbios work wit a sapphire vaporx ? :D
Most likely only dual 6 pin cards and reference design.Quote:

Besides, my card was non-reference PCB without Volterra or split power planes for Vgpu and Vddq.
EDIT: Sapphire VaporX is non-reference pcb with single PWM controller and wont work with reference card bios.
youngpro was playing with the bios of vaporx...and i'm sure chew* has all the bios tools :)
Yeah your right, I'm so frustrated.Quote:

I will probably have to get the Acards.
Best combo for me:
- OS: Win Vista32 nlite + all SSD's in Raid_strip 128k + Ati Tweakforce XG Catalyst 9.6 or 9.8.

chew* running 05 on his AMD setup with four 4890s @ 1050/1150!
I have some new hardware to play with, I finally got my Phenom II X4 965 from Simon, yesterday I discussed what board and RAM to get with chew* and today I bought a UD5P and some memory. I saw someone found Hyper on 1333C9 Kingston sticks, so I even had someone from my preferred hardware shop look through all Kingston ValueRAM sticks for some Hyper sticks, but no luck. :(
So it was down to either G.Skill, Corsair or OCZ for some Hyper sticks. OCZ is out of stock, the only guaranteed G.Skill Hyper kit is the new 2200C8 kit, and for the Corsair I'm not sure which kit uses what kind of Elpida ICs. Finally I decided to buy a Corsair Dominator GT 2000C8 dual kit, that was way cheaper than the G.Skill kit. I'm not gonna pay ~300€ for two sticks... :rolleyes:
I will setup the system later today, wish me luck, this is the first time I'm using an AMD CPU, a quadcore in general and DDR3-memory... :cool:
Sorry I couldn't do any more runs, got swamped with work.
I do have two Gulftowns incoming tho, ETA tomorrow or Monday...
Question is, can I use them to bench? Not really fair huh?
damnnnn
can i have one gulftown? :D
PLSSSSSSSSS
Ehhh that score sucks.
I will be working on all my 3d results over the next 30 days. See if I can grab us some serious points......we hit 168K 03 prior but never saved a FM submission, won't make that mistake this time.
For team members being existing active members more than 6 months and using ATI and benching 3d If you need a bios I will help you via PM, all others need not apply.
Here`s another record:) despite having huge problems oc`in this card. I tried every tool there is to oc this card and nothing works. This is drivin me crazy. So i had to run this with card at stock clock settings. I must be missing something, just cant see it. Only the second ATI card i`ve ever owned so it seems a little strange to me.

Tried AMD GPU Clock Tool? it worked fine with our hd3850x2 sample iirc, it was soo long ago...
Yes, tried it, wouldn`t even load up. I`m wondering if it doesn`t like my board, running on Striker 2 Formula.Quote:

i agree with Don_Dan
bench them :D------------AFTER WORK...we need to feed the little ones :)
i see the i960 all over hwbot...and its not yet even released yet...:)
i wonder now if the gowns(gulftowns lol) have nda?
Oh, btw jcool, do they have an unlocked multi? :D
Almost everything is under NDA before it's released, that's why I was surprised when Shamino showed some numbers.
i just bought another nvidia card WOOO :)
i hope i can get some points wit it :)
Which card did you buy?
jody's 295 :D i was waiting for it :)
pure's members have been selling alot of their hw....i bet they're going to get some huge deal nvidia+ati+intel hehehe
i wanted to buy otti's pot too..but ummm it costs like a new proc LOL
Nice, I'm sure you'll get some points with that card.Quote:

I hope I find some time to use it in the next two weeks...
jcool, I saw they are limited to 19x in the Classified thread, so the same stuff the AF guys are talking about, do you have the same source, or are you their source?
i was asking for stummerwinter's pot :D
was that suppose to be "summerwinter" ?..hhehehe
its almost 5pm :) yey i can go back to sleep :)
Haha, no, stumm = silent, mute, and winter, yeah, you guessed it! ;)
So you want the top of the line pot... I asked for it too, but went with a smaller one after I heard the price. :D
It's 1am here, I'll go to bed now. Night!
Heres another one, 1st in 01 with 3850X2. Wish i could get this card to clock.
http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=899403
vendetta dump the bios for me......I will take a look at it.
I would say so as long as you check the box on hwbot for hardware which is not available through retail channels (eg. cherry picked samples, ES, hardware under NDA, etc).Quote:

He had discussions about cherry picked CPUs with hwbot staff, because he gets his CPUs from Intel, after that he refused to post his results on hwbot.Quote:

Hondacity, I'm glad it worked! Show some 32m runs!
i'll do a comparison..with my normal tweaked os...then use this tweaker :)
ahhh that explains it...girl fights lol
Okay buddy, here you go...Quote:

CPUs are in, first bummer is they won't work in my DFI :(
Missing microcodes. So I'm gonna try them in the GB next.. but it's the old Extreme that can't even do 210 BCLK so not much joy there.
I do not know whether they are unlocked, it's possible with the right bios (I guess I would need a classified to be sure). Right now there are 3 different batches out, and nobody really knows which ones are locked or unlocked. They don't work on most motherboards yet anyways, to date only Gigabytes and the evga (classified only?) will work.
i'm in 4th place temporarily ...............:bounces:
i got one more bag of dice :)
I got tips for:
1. dice
2. overclocking core7 with ht-on
3. nvidia cards g2xx and g8x
pm me guys, i'll be glad to help :)
after a good single card run today ...
drying up the cpu is vital :)
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5...5/P1020830.jpg
Nice going on hwbot mate! :up:
I'm have setup my system, I'm installing Windows right now.
First impressions: The BIOS of the UD5P feels good, and the Dominator GT are pure hardware-:banana::banana::banana::banana:... :D

Big thanks to chew:up: and loony:up: for being so helpful and patient.
Squeezed a little more and passed a guy with dual acards in raid_0 using my super talent mlc's :D Raw cpu and vga power.
Crabbed the 2nd place on the Q9650 category with 23.5k:
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm05=2088267
I think that with a little more I can get around 55th or 56th global without Acards!
Thanks again guys.

Jor3lBR has hit second in the Q9650 PCM 05 category as already mentioned above! Very nice! :up:
Hondacity and mk-ultra have made some 3D runs, and the latter was able to achieve a new WR in 3DM Vantage in the 8800 GT 256MB category! :up:
I made some easy points today by running some 2D benches at stock settings, just trying to get some information about the system and to know how stuff works on the AMD platform. I'm back to 20th in the team too. :yepp:
So far I like my new system, it's running very cool and working with Phenom II and DDR3 is fun. :)
koolance is best i think with dice...the base is heavy...just right for cold for a long time...and the cylinder can hold dice for 10minutes without adding dice..the mounting is also superb..you'll love the giant knurled nuts and the zero effort on the base plate..and koolance support is great...Quote:

i've msg'd otti too...but his price is a little 500$ ..id get them...if i want stummerwinters records :)
Don_Dan
Thanks for the update :)
Mk_Ultra nice 8800
Nice run Jor3lBR!!
Sorry it took so long for us to get on the same page and really glad I could help.
Hondacity:
Could you give me some tips on overclocking i7s? I have a little bit of experience with the i7 920s and 950s, but can use some help with voltages and setting for getting past ~4.5ghz HT.
I have a really nice rig coming in this week to test and I'd like to get some nice benchmarking in with it... ;)
Here is the hardware it has:
i7 975, Evga Classified, 2x GTX 295s WCed, 2x OCZ Vertex SSDs, 2133mhz ram, ect....
The watercooling setup for this will be a dual pass triple 120mm fan radiator with 6x 98cfm fans....
Thanks for the help!
i'll send you a pm linuxfan
Yesterday the team was at 6627 points, now we're at 6835! Where did the 200+ points come from? Who joined the team? That's really cool! :up:
Did you notice that the Xtreme 3D-Mark Team has been renamed to Xtreme HWBot Team? No new members have been added to the user group though.
I joined the XS HWBot team yesterday! :)Quote:

Chew*, I hope you read this, what's under the 363_HS below the Southbridge heatsink? SATA controller? It's getting freaking hot!!
Raid controller......disable it :) Real men bench with no devices...seriously I use IDE alot on this board.Quote:

I tried 3 different OSes: Vista_32, XP32 and XP64. I get results all over the place.
gt4 mothernature run was prolly bugged... :D
Thanks for the reply! Actually I'm using a 60GB IDE drive and I have disabled LAN and audio controllers already, but I'm not sure about the HDD controllers. What's the name of the raid controller in BIOS? I want to disable it but I still need the blue SATA slots for a SATA CD drive for Memtest86+. Is it possible to disable only the white slots?Quote:

Hey guys, I'm currently the owner of the PCMark 04 WR in the Phenom II X4 965 category. w00t :D
That's what I think too, but I submitted first and after I got results I posted here, was on my way to remove it when Honda answered my question.Quote:

Yes, only 03 is bugged like that. As far as I know there is no way of fixing or avoiding it... :(
Ok I'm getting kinda discouraged what's this 800x600 resolution and what's the problem with it on my PCMark05:
2009-09-21 17:55:43.0 - morontt: reported by user due to possible cheat (resolution 800x600 - verification link)
2009-09-21 18:02:38.0 - (crew) Massman: reported by crew (800x600 resolution?)
:shrug:
I'm using an old VGA monitor so 800x600 is the best resolution for me, now whats the deal here?
nothing wrong with it man...you have the verification link to it :)
Yeah I don't get it... Massaman said resolution? That would never give me extra points. :shakes:Quote:

A PCMark 05 score by Jody ( 3oh6 ) was also reported for the same reason, but never blocked, and the issue was discussed in the -> Validated scores still wrong? thread in the hwbot forum.
Your score wasn't blocked too, right?
On a sidenote, with how many posts we're getting in this thread I wonder how we could do without it before! :)
Hey guys, as I don't see any other Gulftowns on HW bot yet I will refrain from posting up scores.
Also there's that. I don't have unlocked chips anyways ;)
its a valid score man...you'll get the points...Quote:

Yeah, though you would get points immediately when the NDA is lifted.
You can still prepare some scores and post them when the NDA is lifted.
Whatever you do, please run some benchmarks and post one or two teasers in this thread! :D
OMG, XS brain control? We're thinking along the same lines... :rofl:Quote:

Me neither, this thread is great and people here are the best :up: I'm new to most of tweaks on these tests so this thread is surely an amazing tool.Quote:

Great work with your GTX 295 Hondacity! That CPU clock makes a difference! I hope I can get 29k 06 /39k 05 this week with a single card also... ;)
thanks linuxman
i just got the cards this morning from jody from team pure, lol run 3d06 and 3d05, then submitted it...lol
i'll prolly get a waterblock for it..or read the ati reviews..lol
its not tweaked yet...i just added 100mhz on the gpu and some on the shaders..i didn't even bother with the memory lol
...im gonna have fun tonight :D
***classified users use the latest bios :) its really good with high bclk on cold boot
Cards? You are definitely going to get some points..... I know there is a lot more points to get.... Go for it! :DQuote:
