I always thought the "system" was the NB temp?
If anyone is looking for a good deal on the SR2, Tiger Direct has it for $599 minus ($79) Bing Cash Back.

I'm not sure if any of them are NB-temp, I miss a better documentation.Quote:

I'm going to try IOH=1.4v soon, and I hope the cooling will hold.
Just wait till you see my next batch of pictures I post. You will for sure have a good laugh at my cooling setup :ROTF:Quote:

I am mostly concerned with my cpu-0 pwm temps as they stay pretty high 55-58c even with one of the asus mini mobo fans attached to it :shrug: I have ordered a fb block from Bei Fei and I will update with pics and temps results, both before and after :up:Quote:

I don't know how stable this is, but at least holds for CB :). Still testing and hopefully can get it 24/7 stable.
Breaking new personal record in CB 11.5 :)
VVT=1.33/1.34v (Idle/load)

@SR-2 owners
Can help to run the x264 bench at this site? You need to install Avisynth, download & run the benchmark. The protocol is described there.

Some interesting results for comparison
http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.a...tno=520&pgno=7 Results of different cpus
http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.a...tno=669&pgno=0 More cpus, including overclocked 1P Xeons/Gulftowns
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...45#post1386445 Intel i7 980x 3.8GHz
It'll be great to know where Westmere stands in video encoding. Please leave a link where you post the results. Thanks.
PS: Turn off ECC, as it will give poorer results for 2nd pass.
Has anyone with an SR-2 had a chance to run PiFast?
I will give me a couple minutes :up:Quote:

y-cruncher seamed to be better, here is the comparison screenshot:

Might be the case because PIFast is a single-threaded app... ;)Quote:

here's 80gb... :D

That's sick Fits ..... my rig uses at most 5 of the 12 I have in it while crunching. There must be some crazy memory intense apps out there, you know any examples :shrug:Quote:

yep... i've got OSX running on it... among other OSes.
Congrats man that is just pure POWA!!!!!!!!! :up:
I'm really looking forward to getting the board on water as the board temps are scary high for 24/7 load.
For the time being I have a floor fan on my test bench :rofl:Quote:

I've manged to squeeze a fan on each PWM, but there is no space for a fan on NB, between tow CPU-coolers. The CPU#0 PWM gets pretty toasty ~62'C under load even with a fan right on top of it, but I guess that's rated for high-temp and it won't cause any instability.
I don't know when stsytem2 (I guess that's NB-temp) gets unstable. It is keeping to ~47-49'C (Idle/load) and it means the heat-pipe is working fine to keep the temp pretty stable, but I don't know if it's too hot already. What kind of temp are you guys getting on System2?
My system is at 28c and system2 is 37c under 100% load crunching. CPU#0 varies from the high 50's to low 60's.
Could anyone here please confirm the minimum requirement to achieve full score (7.9) on processor in Windows 7 Experience Index?
Well after a little bit more tweaking I'm able to get in some runs of wprime 32m @ 4.94ghz on water which I think is rather impressive. The OS I was running was junk, so I need a new install. The current WR is 1.907 secs @ 5.07ghz. I was able to pull off a 1.96 @ 4.85ghz, so I feel with enough tweaking and perseverance I can get this done and get the gold cup back to where to belongs :D
Sniper, both my i7 920 @ 4.5 and my SR-2 with Dual X5680's @4.3 get 7.8 on the cpu and 7.9 on the memoryQuote:

MY 1600MHZ CL8 RAM scores 7.9, but both my w3520 @4.51GHz and 2 x X5650 @3.8GHz (and i tries up to 4Ghz) never could hit that, they are always at 7.8.
