[Team.AU] 1st LN2 test AMD 965+Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5+Corsair 2250s> 1M SuperPi:10.125s

....here we go first LN2 session is over 10L got chewed up and now I got some idea of the clocks and how this beast behaves......... :D

This is very exciting.....going back to AMD and all....I am now hooked :D

These CPUs love cold it's amazing. I was literally battling this F1EE to get some ok speeds out of the chip but for longer tests like 8M or 32M it was already evident that i may need to start looking for a better tuned CPU pot for these.......I did some pretesting on air and SS so i knew roughly what the RAM and board could do. I was planning on benching the Asus Crosshair 3 as well but as luck would have it the board died.....SADS or something else...who knows, i just wish i could at least try it on LN2 lol before it :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ed out lol

Always good to chat to someone while benching new gear....chew* was onhand and he got a dose of dinos22's entertainment during the session lol :p: :up:

Anyways here's the test setup and some piccies :)

Test Configuration:

• GIGABYTE 790FXTA-UD5 F2 official bios
• AMD X4 965 Black Edition C3 week 44 retail
• F1EE CPU pot
• Corsair Dominator GTX 2250 DDR3 2GB modules
• PCIe nvidia 8400GS
• 1200W Antec Quattro OC Edition PSU
• 300GB Velociraptor
• Windows 2003 Server

Giga is very fast in 1M. It trails a bit in 32M so gotta work some more on it i think...just as well as i couldnt get speeds i was happy with anyways heh...could be teething issues with new board/bioses i donno but once i get it strapped to a better pot i'll do some proper 32M too :) .... best part is it's still alive w00t lol :rofl:

I wont have much time to do more LN2 testing until i fly out to Adelaide to bench together with my good friend youngpro mid January.....we are going to rape this CPU hard lol :rofl: and my priority is superpi first and then whatever else ppl want to see at the event we are doing :D

Evil chip heheh

...stay tuned :up:

:up::up: Great work dino
Congrats man
waiting for 32m ;)

Hi hiwa thank you :)

Awesome result Dinos!! Do you think the chip has sub 10 seconds in it?

we'll find out at our OC event in January ;) :D

waiting for 8 M !! and sub10s AMD superpi 1M

In karate kids sensei's voice "beginners luck" :p:

J/k man nice work :up:

nice! try next run with superpi tweaker, maybe u can a bit better score or in RAMdisk :). And u got WR AMD in 1M superpi, nice began with AMD :-D (to time was 10.130s)

edit: ah sorry, your 1M is only the same score as WR :), u are 1.-2. :)

wow great job :)

not much left to get sub 10sec :eek:

:eek::up:
Go for sub10s :D

The pic with you and the setup is soooo funny:rofl:

It looks like a pokemon or something! :rofl:

Awesome job! Like the 6667 clock frequency, evul cpu.

Congrtats there buddy !!!

Now show us 8M )))

My FXT mobo is half alive after estrerday OC session (.

congtras dinos, waiting for sub 10 D:

AWESOME DINO! Great stuff! What's next? :p:

1m WR, Well Done!
Congrat.

I thought you were supposed to be fishing? :p:

With your efficiency, sub 10 should be doable at below 6.8 :O

Great work Dino! That is a nice CPU for first try with AMD.. might do the landing from Intel a bit more softer :)
That Gigabyte board seems to do very good job as well!

Waiting to see more results!

WOW dude, great work

6667 Mhz on AMD.......................... Evil CPU :shocked::shocked:

Great scores and I'm happy Such great overclockers turn to face to AMD :)

thanks guys
yeah G this chip is supposed to be able to do past 6.7 1M i just gotta strap Venom on it and we'll get a sub 10s with about 6750 or so if we can manage that clock :D

First to sub 10's, would be sick Dino. :up:

lol it's bloody chew that got me into this 1M business lol
i hope i can get some equally nice 32M....we'll see i guess heheh
thanks Enjoy

with LHe is possible about 6.85GHz superpi run think

lol i dont have $20Ks for a LHe tank lol :p:

Very good job mate ;)
That CPU rocks and with some more tweaking there will be sub 10s...go for it !!! AMD is alive !

this new gigabyte board seems to be a good step upwards from the MA790FXT-UD5P. new standards, better layout, etc.

i think this board has gone a little unnoticed by the masses as the name GA-790FXTA-UD5 much resembles the previously mentioned MA790FXT-UD5P.

That Akasa looks like a good deal, the stats measure up well to alot of the other fans. I just wish it wasnt so ugly. Any tips on the OP edit?

Good job m8 :up:

Great job Dino :up:

Awesome result.Congrats

F1OC is over.... just noticed the site updated with scores. Some mixed emotions about this competition to be honest...it really lost it's "charm" for me after XS pulled the plug but with all the fighting and BS i dont blame Charles for doing that

Here is my final score for F1OC 8M SuperPi round and a W.R. for AMD CPUs :)

I disabled a couple of cores in CPUz....it went a bit funny lol! It didnt help me with frequency but i did get a slightly better wazza and gained another 0.3s so that worked out well i guess :)

This was my second session and i changed over to my gold pot......this was a first "proper" test for this pot hence i decided to install the probe etc. For those who haven't seen much of it i made a quick video a while back when good people from Thermolab made me and a few other overclockers a custom gold(plated)en LN2 pot heh > YOUTUBE VIDEO..........it held the cpu nicer than F1EE but i still need that Venom strapped to it, i reckon, to try and nail some 32M runs between 6555-6600......from what i saw, so far, it's going to be very nice fellas :D

Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5 board is really very very good so far. It's held up to some serious torture and water all over it......efficiency was there i cant complain :up:...just gotta work out now how to setup Gigabyte EasyTune on my SuperPi OS as i had to revert to my "all round testing OS" for final results :)

R.I.P. to one of my Corsair Dominator GTX sticks...in fact my BEST stick was lost in first bench session...not realising until i tried on the second session :(:(. The ONLY thing i can think of is condensation but i still don't know how as i packed the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of vdimm slots with vaseline.....CPU pot is a bit too close to dimm slots on AMD boards so running -187C for hours will eventually freeze a large area around the board too as anyone benching AMD would know i guess :)

These Corsair Dominator GTX 2250 sticks are MONSTERS......For the final benching session with 936MHz 6-6-6-18-1T andn 4680MHz NB i only use 1.7vdimm (DMM measured) :D :yepp::D

This is serious!

Awesome Dinos, shame about that super ram stick.

And eh...Athlon X2? lol!

lol yeah when i dropped two cores CPUz thought i was on some Athlon lol
does a CPU like that even exist hahahah

thanks :)

Dino, in this video I shuold understand that real overclocker is in the backgorund playing with a car :D:D

nice score, too bad GTX2250 is dead :(

he's 2yo and learning fast :rofl:

:clap::clap: Congrats dino damn fast 8m
very good efficiency

waiting for ur crazy 32m :up:

Congrats Dino for your very fast 8M and your Athlon X2 :D

no 8M WR for amd cpus , wr is this
but still hell nice score

oh very nice
who did that?

Gyrock
Check here :)

Gyrock is the record holder then :)

Congrats dino and with THE GOLD POT! It finally makes a worthy appearance!

shame about the GTX module though :(

Grats Dino, sucks to hear about that stick of ram. :(

I think maybe the vaseline needs to cover the entire PCB under the spreader to be completely safe...

cheers guys
yes i think you are right
too bad corsair RAM HS is a PITA to remove without pulling ICs lol
