ASUS RAMPAGE EXTREME
E8500 / E8600 @F1
NVIDIA EVGA 9800GX2 / GTX280 both in single card @TEK 4.0
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 1800CL7
SILVERSTONE 1KW

E8600 has coldbug around -100c, E8500 can do about -125c
This board is sick.

Still testing and tuning with E8500 (your never getting this chip back dude :D )
Lobbies are getting up there..

Thanx for the board ASUS. It kicks ass.

nice results :D

AHAHAH you owned me to aquamark, now i need to bench it again :D

damn, impressive results. pt1t had the WR for a couple of hours and bam, no more ATI WR for aquamark.

FAST RUNS! 6ghz 3d is insane.

Congrats with the aq3 wr Vince...

Sweet work and RE is just keep pushing it with f1 pwr...

Keep tear it up...

:up::up: congrats vince that's crazy am3 score :D

They named it well. Have you done anything with TweaKit?

Great numbers Vince :yepp:

You finally discover the wonders of very high bench in your favourite game :D

Not yet but looks cool. I guess something like this can be a game changer for 3d benching. Max out your cpu for each game/cpu test. Adds a new element to 3d overclocking. Testing it with 9770C1/GX2 :D

@PEDRO
I don't use enhancer, but I'd imagine the score would be higher with it too :up:

nice runs Vince :up:
btw on the last pic what did you fill into that F1? looks like some milk :lol:
btw2 could you tell some fpo of the chips? im just curious.

great scores Vince :toast:

OMG!!!
39.8k '05 with single card:eek::clap:
Amazing Vince!!

It's actually Ice :)

:eek2:










:bows:

Nice!!
I like to see finally a X48 high fsb with mem in 2:3:clap:

amazing sick board and Cpu.... the score also crazy and its still damn single card :up:

And the new 3d markable cpu speed recoird goes to....
6G's the playing ground now it seems :D :up:

The man does make one sit up and open your eyes when he posts.
I don't even get into this end of the hobby but I sit here going :shocked:

Damn nice work, Rampage rocks! :up:

Woah!
Awesome runs Vince ( as usual :p: ).
Nice CPU, and a very nice AM3 run ;)

Damn, looks like I'm going to need a Rampage Extreme ( hint Vivian, hint :p: )

Its a nice board indeed with that FSB, but is it even worth to buy this when Nehalem is just around the corner.

If you're a hardcore bencher, you don't mind the next few months.
Actually, you might want to wait, but you can't and eventually...you'll purchase another board :D

Many congrats to awesome scores.., board really looks good! :-)

now you have to sign the board at the SB area where it's dedicated for a signature and sell it on ebay for more than you got it :up:

Probably got it for free;)

Damn vince, if it's not you everybody will go to ATI :D :up:

Impressive work Vince!:up: Congrats to AM3 WR!:)

What NB voltage was needed for 638fsb?

Way to go Vince that AQ3 score is downright sick - hats off to ya :D

Raising the bar to 6GHz 3d proof huh? Looks like that 8500 is even better than that 8600 you got there.

Awesome benching again mister. :toast:

Awsome Vince! :) :toast:

Glad to see you like the board. Give TweakIt a spin next time you bench 06 or Vantage (we need R700 now!). I only tested on air so far but it is nice to be able to run game tests 100MHz higher than CPU-tests.

Amazing results!!! Congrats!!!

Nice board, Crazy results. :up:

:shocked: Impressive Vince :up:

Damm vince... why you don't let me know this...

That avatar cracks me up :D

Mobo is fast and clocks like holy hell. Most of these benches just pushing cpu clocks. Alot more effeciency to be had on some 3D and especially 32M.
One of the screenshots is my highest :D
R what? never heard of it...

Didn't think of it :shrug:

Only thing about TweaKit, will scores remain publishable with speed variations during a run ;)

Not in 01 but in all others yes, tested with 100MHz on air in 06 and it works. 01 I know will detect it and make it invalid.

great scores, Vince! congrats! :up:

Nice scores Vince! :D

Nosfer@tu wanted to make a point, a different one.
He meant that he might get hardware for free, but it's not just like that.
You get free hardware to test/review/beta test or overclock with, but there are expectations from the manufacturer, and "targets" to reach and surpass, etc.

e.g. I get free hardware to review, so you might say "Bill is lucky, he gets free stuff, etc"... but behind the scenes, things are a bit different.
It takes me about 200 hours of work to complete a "complex" review ( testing, troubleshooting, measurements, overclocking, photoshooting, modding, and review text composition ).

.., have to second that.., I also have the opportunity to test hw.., but it sure is not free.., my deal is to review and to produce results.., often in a small timeframe.
If I really wanna mess with hw (modds of different sorts) I have to buy it.., in the deal is also to take care of rma´s on customer side...

Margins for dealers on hw is not the happiest of situations.., they have to fight hard to earn a few bucks.., they also take huge risks with hw today.., the stuff barely hold a month.., then a new gpu or mobo is advertised...
Having some left on the shelfs maybe a lot of money lost.., nobody wants the old stuff...
But hopefully everybody can take advantage of what we do.. :)

.., and ofcourse its fun.., its tons if fun.. ;)

I like the sound of that :D

This e8500 is a decent chip.... working on 645fsb/6.1ghz+ for this bench:
http://overclockingpin.com/pifast-e8500.jpg

Nice job vince :up: keep it up! nice 05 :O

lovely cpu's vince, dont kill them yet :D

that 8500 is a GEM man! great work!

Wow!!!:eek:
Amazing E8500 man!!:eek:
And this board?Awesome!!!

Is the actual Pifast WR?

it's same as NewBeetle score :D

nice chip Vince ;)

I have to say that deadlines are no fun especially for me w/ my anxiety problem :rolleyes: as they expect a certain result results in a specific time frame and I'll be damned if I am going to crew up a good thing that I got going so needless to say I miss a lot of sleep then and a lot of my time is taken up... though not as involved as BZ or other reviewers I just need to get results in a specific time which can be hectic :rolleyes:

Though like fubarswe said it is a lot of fun :up:

To be honest Mark, this board raises some serious ethical issues with submitting legal results to the orb. I wonder what futremark will say about begin able to change your systems speeds for different tests?? The benchmarks are clearly not designed for that. Doesnt this make the results incomparable comparing this platform to others?
Are they going to make all results from this board illegal like they do for the nvidia physX drviers?
Lets see if alot of these people crying about NVIDIA physX drivers in vantage being illegal will ALSO be crying about the XFire results that get put up with these boards in all 3dmarks where cpu speed has been manipulated mid run.
I am running 9770c1 on the mobo now for single card 2006 with GX2. Let's see how much of an advantage tweak it gives wehre it will count the most.

so.., its 6Ghz now :-)))) Nice work and I look forward to more ofcourse..!

6GHz 3D benching! What a godly E8500!

Awesome work Vince!

congrats... i gotta say, the heatsink makes the board look mighty sexy :D
congrats on the scores, nice fsb clocks :toast:

Great results always, k|ngp|n-san. :toast:
Competing with PiFast is very happy and very honored. :D

Very nice results Vince :up:

Really love to see Aquamark score it very impressive :shocked:

need more, plz keep pushing it :D

this going right to my sig :D.

héhé , it's the better E8500 among the 10 that I tested :)

I am very happy it is still better than under my caskade

Congratz Vince :clap:

Come on Gautam , found the good mb and broke the news WR E8500 :D
