ASUS and Intel Nordic OC weekend

It's this time a year again, when overclockers in the Nordics gather to test out what the new technology from Intel has to offer. This year it was scaled down and only had 5 participants: Sampsa and SF3D from Finland and Kinc, Crotale and myself from Sweden.

Most of the results are not publishable due to NDA but several world records were broken. I did a quick run with an i7 setup + HD5870 single card though which seems to be the WR in Vantage for now. Big thanks to Intel Nordic and ASUS Nordic for making this possible!

Score:

It was fun weekend, but like elmor said unfortunately we can't publish the most interesting and amazing results we ran during the weekend due to NDA we all respect :(

When we walked in to Intel labs, we all signed NDA for Gulftown. We benched those monsters whole weekend and results are more than impressive. We haven't seen anything like that anywhere so far.
It feels a bit lame to post this here, but I guess it was needed.

This was very good event, but I have no screenshots to post ;) Without NDA I tested only few 960's with elmor and one 975.

Thanks Thomas from intel and Marcus from ASUS! You guys rock!

Will add some screenshots and pics later..

Does the NDA make any sense when a guy named shamino already showed what Gulftown can do?:)

You tell me :shrug:

Breaking NDA is not just a joke in some cases. This might be one of those cases, who knows :rolleyes:

Yeah, sham already showed us what Gulftown can do but that's only one Gluftown showed. We've to wait and see what have SF3D and Elmor done. Seems that was a pretty nice event with a lot of fun.

Waiting for pics :up:

Here is some pictures. I did not found too much screenshots to post, but at least something.

We totally focused to something else, so dont even bother to judge those screenshots you will find later :D

Here is a nice preparation factory. Just throw cards to them and you will get them back fully modded and insulated :rofl:

Phase Elmor: Making cards naked
http://www.aijaa.com/img/b/00756/5084025.jpg
Phase Crotale: Naked, but not perfect. Must mod them!
http://www.aijaa.com/img/b/00874/5084038.jpg
Phase Kinc: They need something more sexy to wear.. LN2 pots + black stuff
http://www.aijaa.com/img/b/00568/5084042.jpg

End results can be seen above in the thread :rolleyes:

Here is one shot of 975 CPU and only screenshots to share :eek:

Max 05 with it:

Looking forward to seeing the Gulfie results...
Sorry for my slight disrespect or lack in knowledge....

Is the "poor" frequency on 975 due lack in interess with the Gulfie around, or just no luck?? I would have expected 400mhz more considering its at a Intel location with plenty of stock *hopefully*

Br,

Really nice results and photos. If you have more photos please post them. How much ln2 did you have to play with? :O Looked like alot :P
10-18-2009, 08:56 AM
SF3D

We had a bit over 200 liters of LN2 in there. These were the photos that can be published without issues, so I don't have more.

Swedes did very good teamwork with the VGA's. It was cool to watch it :)
