Kinc and Shamino breaks 27,000 in 3DMark 06 with Mushkin and ASUS HD 2900 XT CrossFir

Quote:

---

After a not so fortunate start of the Games Convention, Kinc and Shamino have returned to their everyday life and started benching again with Mushkin at the Games Convention. Unfortunately Kinc lost his precious Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850, but luckily Shamino had another which worked "quite well" too. Sham's QX6850 reached 5119MHz (3DMark stable) on an ASUS Blitz Extreme. The memories used were Mushkin's new DDR3-1333 memories (we have some more information about these later).

The processor was cooled by Shamino's Dragonpot, which in other terms mean liquid nitrogen. The pair of ASUS Radeon HD 2900 XT, which Kinc and Shamino overclocked to 1175/950MHz, was also cryo-cooled, but with a pair of Mousepot rev4.

This brings Kinc, and Shamino of course, back to the top of the 3DMark 06 Hall of Fame, along with the Radeon HD 2900 XT. The new GPU-pots (rev4) with a thicker base really does wonders for the Radeon HD 2900 XT, and there might even be more coming. The new world record is 27,039 points and it might even get a tweak or two before the Games Convention is over.

There you go. :D ;)

Two of the world's best 3DMark overclockers get together and magic happens. :toast:

EDIT:
Forget the Source

Glad to hear after the huge setback they had coming in that they can still kick ass and take names. 1175MHz on the R600 core is rather crazy, it reminds me of Netburst with the rather high-clock possibilities of it.

awww kingpin is no longer #1 but soon he probably is again

And people think HD2900s suck :rolleyes:

Unless your only game is 3dmark05 and maybe 06, yes it sucks.

Congrats!

Hey its cheat using a memory that was not released yet! :p:

glad to see them back in action

and very sorry for the stolen Kinc's QX6850

lol yer basicly what he said.

Also good to see kinc and shamino can come back from the loss and still do what they do.

Maybe they just saw this:

Well done guy's on the wr.

just imagine if 3dmark let u use the 1gb cards with another 50% memory bandwidth

Grats guys on the WR pulled off at GC.

Looks like they didnt use Z9 based DDR3, most likely Qumonda parts?

Congrats! I wonder what we'll see with Penryn + the G92! :slobber:

Awesome, congrats guys.

Congrats dudes! 27k is very hard to break! :clap:

i wonder what will we see with 3ghz quad 10 + triple or quad crossfire r600

and now we await for kingpin or hipro or even fugger to beat the new record :)

the CPU Score was 7619 Marks... I know one of the three people I just mentioned had beaten this score not too recently.

Yupp, Mushkin uses Qimonda chips for its first modules.

I spoke to Saki at DreamHack, and he wasn't exactly thrilled, but they seemed to work OK at the time. Better things are coming. :up:

EDIT:
No they don't, they use Elpida chips.

Nice girls :) :pimp:
Even prettier than HW :)

lol get in there :P heh

why in the report the say 1175/950MHz and in the hall of fame it show 506 to core and 513 to memory ?

3DMark doesn't detect the correct frequencies. Check the description at the top of the ORB submission ;)

//Andreas

fantastic result guys.. :up: :up:

Just thought to drop in to congratulate bot Kinc & Shamino. Nice work guys! :clap:

Cheers,

Nick

the original info is maybe wrong-

The DragonPot is Vinces CPU pot design, and by the sound of things the GPU Rev 4 could be Jasons MousePots.

Congrats on the scores!! :D

Kingpin designed it, but Shamino owns this particular pot ;)

//Andreas

Those are some pretty brutal scores with those r600 :shocked:
Congrats! :clap: DDR3 improved the score pretty well :yepp:
r600 is a power hog though... required min. of 750w haha. Totally worth it.

Well done guys!! its like, omg.

Now the question is, can it run vista+aero? :O

Just barely ;)

I have to correct myself, the Mushkin modules use Elpida chips.

//Andreas

No pained chicks unfortunately, but here are a few more photos of Sham and Kinc benching session in Mushkin booth at GC.

Looks like fun

Amazing job guys! Congratz!

Me want more pics too! :D

The score has been removed after a "bug" was found. Shortly after it being removed, Kingpin set the new WR. Nothing against Kingpin, but something sounds really fishy...

No, it has not been established whether it was a bug or not. The only persons who were there to see it was Kinc, Shamino and Mushkin representatives. Yet many could not believe it was a fair score, despite thorough explanations by Marcus.
There have been many speculations and that I can surely respect considering the shape of the result and that it the gt1 score seems irregular for anyone who wasn't there to see the exactly what they did and how the performance scaled with the different tweaks. Since I have received an even more thorough explanation from Marcus I hoped that the score would remain, but after being pressured he chose to remove it.
I have the highest respect for Marcus and even though I was saddened by the removal, removing the score might be the best for the long run. He will take back the record soon enough, Marcus isn't the one to give up easily.

//Andreas

hehe little sham yet some much upon his sleeves, impressive!!:D

I guess Kinc and Shamino can try again.

I wish so, but Shamino is back home in Asia and Kinc is in Northern Europe.

However it's soon time for Kinc and crotale to team up again :p: ;)

//Andreas

Gratz guys.
Very impressive.

At the end of the day what is more important, a score or the respect of your peers? That's what separates Kinc and Shamino more than some other people I could mention. There will always be another day for "results" ....

Indeed, which is also why I typed "removing the score might be the best for the long run" ;)

That would be Saki, a great and very enthusiastic guy :)

//Andreas

We need someone to tickle Shamino before having his photo taken, he never looks happy. Anyone would have thought he was forced to play with this nice hardware :rofl:

Shame about the score being removed, but thanks for sharing the pictures :)

Good job Kinc and Shamino :up:

great result guys!

And I wonder if kinc and shamino took them back to their hotel rooms for some real crossfire action:D
