Elmor,Kinc breaks 3DMark 06 World record with ASUS EAH3870X2 TOP and ASUS P5E64 WS Pr

Wasn't sure if I was support to post it here or in 3D, but here goes:

Maybe elmor or Kinc will post an update in 3D later on :)

Elmor and Kinc have been spending the weekend benching with ASUS' latest hardware and with the help of some exotic cooling, they were been able to move the bar another notch. With two ASUS EAH3870X2 TOP, which sports two AMD RV670 circuits on one PCB, they had four graphics cores working together to break the world record. In the end they were able to reach 32,601 points. They used ASUS recently launched P5E64 WS Pro motherboard along with an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650, C1 stepping, cooled by some liquid nitrogen.

The processor was overclocked to a mere 5.719GHz, which is 100MHz less than the previous world record, but still enough for them to break it. The graphics cards were overclocked to 990MHz, while the real key was the memory overclock that reached 1125MHz, much thanks to the 0.8ns Qimonda chips using ASUS' in-house design. The cards were air-cooled.

Unfortunately, the ORB doesn't accept the C1 stepping, which means the score can't be published there yet. We expect Futuremark to update the ORB with support as soon as possible. Until then you will have to settle for pictures of the system and the screenshot confirming the score.

INSANE!!!!:worship:

Killer vcore on that chip! I think the most astonishing thing here is the GPUs on air. Wonder if they could pull another 100MHz out of the GPUs on chilled water or if it's CPU bottlenecked. Congrats guys, fantastic ATI benching :up:

nice :)

strange the gpu's are aircooled :)

WR on air, beating previous WR on LN2? E P I C

Sick sick sick

The chip is really pushed to the limit, we are running 2V to it and at only -100C (coldbug @ -104C). We tested two C1 QX9650 and both coldbugged around -100C, seems there is no improvement with C1 :( Danger Den is sending a complete watercooling set so hopefully we will se a few more MHz soon :) Thank you!

sweet, keep pushing guys

what is the volts on the gpu's?

Can't wait to see the watercooled runs. Shame about that "low" coldbug, my C0 bugs out around -125C or so, I should feel lucky.

I imagine 1.55v to 1.65v depending on how well binned they are. That is atleast how my HD3850's respond for those clocks and air cooling :shrugs:

Amasing stuff ...me droooooooooools

The feeling after getting that WR round after over 4 hours of constant benching and getting many scores ranging from 32400-32500 :D

About 1.65-1.7v under load.

nice work Jon and Kinc...and GPUs just on air, very nice. wish i had one 3870X2 that clocked like both of those beasts do :up: :up:

air cooled...wow! whats that crazy white fan? (on the left of the board)

i think its just a really big fan

Nice run! Congratulations.

Huge GT2 there! What were the mem settings, PL and "strap"?

Congrats!
3870 X2 oc'ed to light speed on air :cool:

calling all king pin and fugger... please smash this score lol

man, and I was happy getting 2k 3dmarks with my aging system:D

Fantastic result!:eek: :clap:
2v @ -100 on the cpu is crazy:eek:

OT: Good to see you guys benchin with Dimastech Benchtable:D :up:

Holy shift guys :slobber: taking down the 06 WR with cards on air is just insane...great job guys :toast:

Good to see the information is up now...

Impressive work guys...

Looking forward to more orb damage...

Keep tearing it up.

Wow. Great results. And here we were all expecting the GX2 to have all the WRs broken by now. Guess not.... ;)

I wonder how far those 3870X2s can be taken on LN2.

Great work fellas :up:

My guess would be a high-rpm nidec server fan


Good job! :up:

wow! on air! and still none the less a good cpu guys! :)

owning!

Great score
congratz for WR
:up:

Futuremark fixed the ORB :)

7-6-5-15-48 1:2 PL6 266-strap. GT1 should be higher, we had about 103 fps on a good run.

Correct :)

good benching guys!! those asus top cards are _the_ :banana::banana::banana::banana: now.. :up:

i hope the cpu survives a couple of more days (or weeks :)) at that voltage :)

keep up the good work guys :)

IS THAT VISTA I SEE? THERE IS NO WAY THIS BENCH WAS ON VISTA, IT'S SLOW AS :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

/sarcasm

Congrats guys! Superb results :up:

Nice work. :up:

:clap: to k|ngp|n's F1.

you sirs are truly epic kings amongst all men.

Congrats! Very impressive scores. Wonder with all the new cards which will be first to break 33k?

Asus Ftw!!!
