Can I use something else for dry ice?Just for transport
You can use pretty much anything. The supplier I usually use just hands it to me in a cardboard box. :lol: I put it in a beverage cooler, can keep it for about 2 days with little loss.
^Exactly, you can find some absolutely crazy prices on Ebay. Usually about $300 USD + shipping here for a 30L on Ebay, but if you watch long enough you can do a lot better. I got my 40L for $125 shipped, now it's military surplus and well used, but for that price I don't really care. Hell even if it's lost it's seal, the price is unbeatable, and anyway, we'll find out about that tommorow I hope. Besides, their's always a chance no matter how much you pay, that the dewar has lost it's seal, so i don't think it's anymore likely on mine than one that I would've paid $350 shipped for.
Problem is shipping to Sweden. All on ebay is located in the states what I can see. Im seriousy thinking of buing alot of normal thermoses and have em in foam mold for transportation. It last very long in em and would be easy to use for benching. Just pop out another 2.0 liter thermos as they get empty.
The other solution for me would be to get deal where I get a 200 liter preasure dewar deliverd here wich gets swapped when its empty and dont have to pay to much for shipping and rentals for the preasure dewar.
A question please...
I have not understood.........Are the ati oc in cross with control pannel?? I have 2x2900, p5k3, galaxy DXX...The cross is enable and it works but when i up frequency in ati overdrive the score don't change.....gpu at 750 or 856 don't change.....is it possible??
Thx
You can only OC in cross fire by editing the BIOSes, but only a few people are given access to the tools needed.
RaBit is a ATI card bios editor. Ver2.2.1
Hope this helps
I've heard that flashing with BIOSes not made with AMDs tool will brick your cards.
I have been following this thread and i find something very wierd. I have no problem overclocking with my 2 cards using control panel. The score scales very nice so i know that it is working fine. One thing is im using 1 sapphire and 1 asus card. Maybe thats why it works for me?:confused: Nope sorry i was wrong overclock is not working for some reason it scaled up the other day but was not cus of the overclock. I just ran tests again and u guys are correct no effect. I will just leave this post here so peeps can compare.
maybe asus has a different bios ... in "ati overdrive" the max that i can set for memory is 900 mhz .... :( ( 2 x club3d 2900xt )
Last 5 liters of ln2 testing a new QX6700 from the same batch as my late one. This p5w64 also likes higher fsb.

Hey Kinc, you have buy a new P5W64? When i have rma mine, i have got the same surprise, the card was overclocking at higher FSB, or it's the same rev. ( in real i have never see another rev on this board.. ) but the board cut down faster for the problem of pwer off, when i reboot.
Question have you look about the P5k64 WS? http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...92&modelmenu=1 it's the Workstation Quartet version of the P35 chipsets, only thing i don't see is the Crosslink on it. so can assume the board is on 16x 4x, have you some info about this one? (like allways the Asus site is not clear about speed of Cfire mod)
Yeah I bought a new that worked for about 10 mins before it died the P5W power circuit death. Then ASUS traded a p5k premium for a p5w64 with a local shop in Finland for the Assembly event. So thats the board im using now.
P5K64 has a 16/4 config :( What I want is a p5k premium with crosslinx :D
OoO... too bad...
Hahaha, anyone know a good head shrink for overclockers? I'm going crazy here. I finally get the cpu to run the cpu test at 5050MHz (14x361FSB) and in canyon flight it freezez becuase of the graphics cards. After that the system blue screens in the win boot, every boot. I dont know how much more of this I can take. I have seen the same feeze a million times since I started benching 2900XT on ln2.
Conclusion: 2900 is very sensetive to condensation.
haha I could not resist forgive me....:D
Dr rra here
Let me see if I got the symptoms all right ..You say you keep flying over the grand Canyon and its freezing and you also must be upside down as keep seeing blue screen each time before you get the boot..and youve seen this dream from the bench a million times
Well I recomend 20L LN2 twice a day after meals for next 5 days and all will be well again,if not call me lol:rofl:
Is it bad when your dreams starting having artifacts?
Yeah :D White or black ones, bricks or like snow? We Need to analyze this :)
I have another problem, that I cant stop thinking about frame rates at a certain points of a benchmark and the total number of renderd frames.
Talking in my sleep; "153 fps in the beginning of gt1, oh a total of 8620 renderd frames, sweet". "Over 200 fps when the hatches opens on the ship in gt3, thats super sweet". "What the.. 5300... I should have above 5500 frames in gt2 at these clocks, what is this!?" (3DMark 06)
Hmm your girl have not kill you so far? if i will do this in my sleep, for sure i will sleep alone. :D
But i know this, perfect like we remeber how was the fps when canon door open in GT3, when the head of the dragon close is mouth, when we look how much at this point...
Yeah, it's good to know if the run is good or not, same deal with CL in 01 ;)
Finaly I think I know how to pass 26k in 06 on p5w64 :)

Looking good :)
If you have no mishaps 2900 will be at the top of the orb once again. That quadzilla is scary though :doh:
sweet :D and that's with some r600 cf action :D cant wait to see some r700 benchy :D
Another P5W64 dead, R.I.P.
Alot of ln2 and days of benching but no improvment. I think I'm done with 975X now :D
Will be teaming up with Shamino starting this tuesday at Games Convention in Germany. We will be running Blitz and Striker for the event, should be plenty fun :)
hope something like that will be broadcasted by giga2, but i think it wont :/
Why not try a different i975X board like the Abit one?
What temp have you begin coldbug? Is there some zone to take care with insulation?
@kinc
Your sig predicts some serious damage bro :D
Added som capacitation to the cpu power circuit on Blitz Formula today. It helped me alot to get the clocks more stable when running quad.
But for some reason I cant get the orb to reqognize the driver so I dont get the validation for whql and FM approv. So stopped benching til I know why it is like this. Have e-mail Nich at FM about it.

Very nice 06 powa Marcus. :) P35 with two cards is every 3D bencher's dream. I wish Asus actually bothered to sell this board in the US. :(
Awesome :)
What clocks is the vga running at?
Nice really nice, like allways.. :D
Bad this problem with FM, what driver is not recognised?
X38 insome weeks.... he he...
Seems like WHQL checking in windows somehow got turned of. Tried alot of drivers none worked. Then tested another disc wich worked. So atleast I know what it is know.
Will have to make a new win config in Leipzig. Need to get packed now to catch my flight tomorrow. Atleast I think I know now what setup shamino and I will start of with at Games Convention :)
Card clocks on this run was 1170/930MHz pcie @ 150MHz
Nice :up:
With a better CPU you can get the Worldrecord
Any news yet on beta 7.9 and crossfire oc in overdrive?
Loc.o, there's a hotfix released by AMD/ATI for ther Bioshock demo, i download all of this right now, writen like 8.401.1, it's certainly based on a beta 7.9, but i have not more info about this.
Very good Kinc, you broke the 26k in 06
I see you finally got things right with the QX6850, too bad about not getting first spot though. Best wishes to you and Shamino at GC!
Very nice:clap:
I see that blitz work fine in cross
Im sure you guys have heard about Shaminos and my adventures here in Germany, but all that is history now. :banana::banana::banana::banana: happens. Atleast now we have a good consolation score :D

We have one day left and about 25 liters of ln2 so we will do one more run.
Damn!!! Good Job!! It's time go after 3DMark2003!!!
:D :D :D Holy *** (censored, he he)
What have you do man? incredible :D :D :D Congrats this a pefect wr...
Great
Please questions
Is the blits better p5w64 to work in cross?? The p35 have a cpu score low...it is a bug.
Thx
Efficiency at max! What about the GT1 score, what made you gain so much?
really interesting to see you have use DDR3, he he i have not see this on first look?.. nice :D
nice work kinc :) hope u got some back-up , im seeing vince warming up again :D .
Thats it, no backups for us ;) We were seeing so good SM2 scors for 2 days but it wasnt until the very last miniute that we finally got it threw the complete thing without looking or crashing. Changing to new retail 2900s made a world of difference. So much better clocks with less voltage and cooling.
Regarding GT1 fps. Me too was suprised about the gt1 fps, but we had it on all of the runs for two days after changing to extreme. Just no complete one until the very last minute. Hopefully sham will be able to run a campare when he gets back home on a fresh install with the same setting we used.
I will be running again in 10 days. I'm pretty low on hardware atm, very low actually :(
So the combo Extreme/DDR3/2900 CF should give the boost? Have you got info about the impact of thight timings on GT1?
Thats what did it yes. Ive always felt like tight timings help gt1 since it is the most memory dependent test in 3dmark 06 aswell as in 3dmark 05. But with 2900CF in 06 I would say that crossfire perf has the biggest impact. It really scales the fps in gt1 nicely as clocks go up on the gpu and gpu frame buffer. But as eveyone else I trhink it is strange that it has scaled pver gt2. But something was wrong with our rigg or the windows install (driver/3dmark06/etc.) we will now soon. But it sure doesnt feel that way since we had this perf in gt1 all along after the switch to Extreme.
Great job Kinc. Just one question for ya, 512MB cards or 1gb? And assuming that you have tried both, which do YOU prefer?
well, 1gb are khmmmslowermmm
Nice work with 2900xt's... wondering what would be 2k5 score?
wow nice score! :D :shocked:
Can anybody tell me what diameter (from corner to corner) has 2900xt's core ?
Is that right that core is on the lower high level than shim ? :rolleyes:
http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3546/2900xtxe1.jpg
I just want to make ln2 pot fitted for those cards :D
Thanks
Regards
Peter
Yes you are right the core is lower height compared to shim..
I m sorry i need all unbuild for this, and right now i m too Busy piotres...
Testing a new motherboard with a "new" QX6850. Aircooled by a Thermalright 120 with a Delta 120. Looking very good so far :)

4333mhz on air!:eek:
What's the ambient temp in Sweden:D
Really great chip:clap:
kinc who knows man if that :banana::banana::banana::banana: wasn't stolen in germany maybe you would never see that CPU :shocked:
crazy nice CPU
hey kinc can you please look at this thread since you know your ATI cards and 3DMARK01
a member of my team is scoring unusually high scores with single card in '01 (almost 95K :shocked: )
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=158220
just trying to figure out what's up
Back to Blitz :D (for now ;) )
Since all my conroes are gone and this is the only one I have. I'm stuck with it. But I don't think I mind that much really :D The cards are aircooled running 850/950MHz.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3441068 (crappy winxp with whql problems)
http://www.kinc.se/05.PNG
It will probably do 5.6GHz for 1M and 5.52GHz in 05 in the end. I ran 5.50 in gt1 and 2 but it froze because I tried to push the cards on air. New try tomorrow.
http://www.kinc.se/5gh.PNG
this qx used as dual is impressive;)
is 1.864v that i read cpuz is really??
:shocked: :shocked: :shocked: 34.5k with VGA on air :up:
Race to 35k!
:D I know a good surgeon if you want:ROTF:
Congrats Kinc :up:
This is a magical Blitz - this mobo can do anything :)
Already I tested this mobo ( retail ) and is nice, very nice. But in Poland price is too high :( for me and my team mate. Impresiv performace, good stability and crosslinx :D
Martin.
No your not you could send it to me. :D Awesome results!!! :shocked: I can't wait until you get some cooling other then air on the cards!Quote:
Since all my conroes are gone and this is the only one I have. I'm stuck with it.
Nice going. :)
Do you remember how your mems where set when running theese benches?
Looking good ;).
Sweet CPU :D.
Keep pushing it.
One of the cards has turned very bad. Max I was able to run at this point was 1000MHz core. Score is pretty good anyways :) Motherboard is ASUS Blitz Extreme.

Congratulation for this WR. :up:
Jason is going to power up his cards again, I think :D
Nice battle :toast:

Grats on 35K
:toast:
woah 35k has fallen! congrats Kinc :D
Congrats Kinc on being the first to drop 35K! :clap: :clap:
Great benching :shocked: fantastic to see 35K go down - would love to see a bit more detail of the set up used. I know you can not share the GPU bios that the select few get but share the settings that you have on those cards. Clock speed / mem frequency and all importantly the voltages used. Surely those are not NDA as well. :clap: :clap: After you hard time in Germany I am pleased to see how strong you bounced back from that adversity.:yepp:
Gratz on 35k Kinc :clap:
Wow........congratz kinc :cool: :up:
Damn, you just smashed 35K.
