ASUS Superweekend - Nice Hardware!!!

Hi all!

Once again our nordic team (elmor, kinc and me this time)
was invited to do some extreme overclocking by Kinc.
We gathered in to ASUS office in Kista, Stockholm.

Main idea is to have fun together and do some sick scores.
So far, everything have worked well and it have been perfect event.
Jon and I have to be grateful, that we have this kind of person as Marcus as a friend.
He makes this possible with ASUS, so thanks about all of this.
We also need to thank Thomas Melzer from Intel sweden who is giving the best support we can imagine.

So the setup we use:

ASUS Rampage III Extreme
ASUS ROG Xpander
ASUS GTX 580 Direct CU II
Intel Core i7 990X retail CPU
A-Data memory
Antec HCP 1200W PSU x 2
SF3D OC Inflection point + 4 x Kingpin slim's
Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate

Here is some pictures:

Here is the Vantage score we got today:

Finally see a retail 990x running WRs. :D
Great work! :up:
Must have been very challenging and fun to keep all of those potted chips running!

Very very nice... wish you guys were over here... some bench sessions like that..... would be killer....

Look forward to seeing some more....!!!

Gratz! 1200, sick...
Did you test the cards individually?
Best on top?
Any cold issues with the cards?

All cards were prebinned and able to do 1500MHz alone. The slim pots were really on the limit with load coming from GPU's, so that needs to be taken care of, before some really high frequency runs are coming out.

Great results!

How much Retail 990X did u tested before u found this one? :D

I smell some backups if I see Heaven at 1200MHz Core and 3DMark03 just on 980MHz :)

I think 03 won't scale too much with core frequency with 4x580, starting to get CPU bound even at 6600mhz

6470 is at the limit with 4 GTX580 crushing over the QPI.

GT1 still is CPU only. We saw that when hitting 2000 FPS with only one card below 1000 GPU clock - it was all done by that insane sandy of suicidephoenix ;)

But GT2, GT3, GT4 are lovin' VGA's ;)

Great benchin'! Maybe ASUS should invite you also for Cebit next time - I'll clean my seat for you, as I am constantly failing at live shows since 2 fairs now :p:

James is right. With 4 580's you will not scale anything, if you go higher with vga's. It is purely CPU test in this 4-way case.

I would have loved to see the SLI system of stummerwinter together with that crazy sandy. But it wouldn't run good so we couldn't see a full run with 2 highly clocked cards - would have been interesting to see the final score as 2x 580 GTX on air already gave like 188k easy.

We just need to wait SB-E and hope that they do 6.5ghz easily :D
Then we will see some scaling in 4-way as well.

Too bad you did not get that setup working well enough with SLI.

1500? Holy superbin Batman! :D
They scale well with volts right?
Niiiice cards!
And pots, what's next? Full card length pots?
And I think the next gen dualgpu cards will need pots that resemble a small bath tub :lol:

Maybe that's just cause theres no beer at events... :D
I'm sure if there was you'd follow the same routine as at home and do well ^^

Was the SLIM's mapp torched before pulling down?

Yes, they were prepared during cooldown. The main card in 4-way SLI produced such enormous heat, that they were just unable to keep good enough temps.
There was sticker "insane" on it, so maybe it explains :)

This issue should be fixed soon with new units, as soon as they are ready.

Thanks for posting in :up:

Clock and vgpu wise, it's also a step up versus earlier 4 way pushing.
