Benchmarking at Dreamhack Winter 2006!

Here at the annual Dreamhack Winter, there are alot of good hardware, 8800gtxs, kentfields and motherboards.

There are two exhibition booths where there is benchmarking going on, Techsweden.org and Nordichardware.se/com. Here at TS elmor, Gogh and Stoolman are playing around with some serious hardware, and 210 liters (!) of LN2, and over at NH we have crotale and Kinc.

crotale and Kinc started with the Striker and SLI wedneday night/thursday morning, but got problems with heat on the chipset, as the analog pwms are warming up the chupset thru the heatpipes. With air on the cpu they could get some extra fans in there and get it to work, sorta. They will fill you in later I suppose.

elmor, Gogh and Stoolman are testing some cards atm, and Marquzz are modding another one. They have run some 3dMark01 and scored 87k singlecard so far, atm they are tesing one card and modding another. They have a total of 5 gtx-cards we think, you'll find hardware everywhere.

Some pictures are posted below, and links to Techsweden and the forum for picture-threads.

Have no idea what kinc & crotail brought, but I'm expecting some nice results soon :)

About the lan, it is oficially a new world record now, more than 7700 computers connected to the switches this afternoon (CET).

Nice, looks like fun. :D
btw. huge event :slobber:

nice party there, and kinc bench over night?lol

A little update: http://www.techsweden.org/index.asp?mod=artiklar&ID=20

Yep, well at least i had. Until they needed the 5th 8800gtx :(
Back to 79gt again.

On my wish list: 8800GTX!

They are still sleeping, no bench yet today :(

http://www.techsweden.org/forum/view...=173504#173504 Kinc and crotale. They got ~1420 nature, and good in the other tests.

Stoolman is playing around with single gtx, 950-975 core atm. Elmor is playing with kentfield, he is replacing the cpu with anotherone, 4,8 wasn't enough apparently.

:eek: 1420 fps nature means a 5GHz+ cpu and monsterclocks (900MHz+ core and ~1200MHz mem) on a 8800GTX SLI setup.
Getting a good run with that rig has got to result in 100K '01 easy.

Bring it on guys!! :toast:

Really nice, great pics :)

thanks

Like the :banana::banana::banana::banana:load of pics, great work Techsweden + Nordichardware :D

Wake up kinc, time to bench! :D

DH is over, NH is out of LN2 to i think.

We (techsweden) was bored so we filled our display case in LN2 smoke :)

I got loads of them to. Just need to get some rest and edit some pictures.

HUGE event :toast:

awesome!!!

Good Times :woot:

Under natten till fredagen lyckades man med bedriften att finslipa det nya 3DMark03-världsrekord Kinc slog till med för ett par dagar sedan. Det nya världsrekordet i 3DMark03 lyder 85 023 poäng och är med andra ord drygt 800 poäng mer än vad Kinc lyckades klämma till med i början på veckan. Resultatet kom till tack vare en betydligt högre klockad processor, närmare mer bestämt 800MHz högre klockfrekvens.

Which means that they've achieved the 3Dmark03 record with 85023 points. Together with an EVGA i680 and an X6800@4,8G'zzz. I guess you all know what GFX's that were used.

damn this collection of hardware and ln2 looks like we'll have some records very very soon.
gl on further runs almost 90k single card should be the highest 01 with one card only, or am I wrong?

No WR for Techsweden this time, except for the highest count of Intel Extreme-edition cpus / m2 for non profit organisation (4x x6800 b2, 2x x6800 b1, 3x qx6700 b3) and most consumed ammount of LN2 in one day (180L in 24 hours :eek:)

We had a hard time dealing with the evga-board (NordicHardware aswell) and we decided for running 01 even though I though we could have some nice numbers in 06 with ~900/1200 + kentsfield @ 4780Mhz. We were limited by fsb (~320) and multi (max 15x) for kentsfield, and with X6800 we had a hard time over 4.9ghz.

Even though we didn't get our expectations fullfilled I still had a great time and I really look forward til next year. For now the aim is set for the Swedish Overclocking Championship running through all december :toast:

hi

can you post some pics of the vcore mod of the evga?
i have a different layout, that the guide from vr-zone

thx

I wish they did lan-parties around where I live. I really envy you guys!!!!

Hehe, such parties are fun but don't drink too much alco :D or you will end up with more dead hardware :p:

Dreamhack is strictly no alcohol :)

We have no clue what happened, it just started to smell when we booted the system at one time.

Blander: Post a request in the mods section with a close up picture of the vcore area of the board. I don't have the board here.

it's the same as quake III IMPRESSIVE :)

Ouch I feel sory for that card

Seems like u all had a great time :D :D :D :D
