Looks like our friend MrIcee is back in action with his new DFI 939 SLI mobo and has maxxed it out.
Great work as usual Randi :toast:

Wow, nice round number all over these screenshots there :D ! Awesome work.
Great work by MrIcee.... only thing I noticed wrong is that he spelt GSkill wrong in the second screenie :D
He is not the first hehehe

overcrash86 did 520mhz.
Thanks Eric:)
Just an update, I've been Priming this puppy since 8:30pm last night at 500HTT/250Memory with OCZ PLatLE PC3500 BH-5 installed at 2-2-2-8 1T. At the 16 hour mark of Prime I ran a 16M SuperPi successfully. At the 16 hours 45 minute mark of Prime I ran 32M SuperPi successfully and Prime is still chugging along.
I'm taking screenshots along the way, I'm not sure what else to throw at it, it seems this board and Winchester love it at 500 Mhz HTT.
My only wish is that the Clock Generator could be pushed above 500Mhz as I'd love to find out how high this baby would go and sustain it.
Randi:D
EDIT:)
Just found the latest clockgen, let the fun begin. I was using the version that shipped with the board which only allows up to 500Mhz:rolleyes:
Yep, and I did slip and misspell Gskill;)
that looks fun...... now is it actually the clockgen that cant go higher? or just a bios/program limit?
do you mean the physical clockgen on the mobo or the program? :p

Nice numbers there, Randi ;)
But can you honestly tell what is the point of all that "HTT chasing" ? Besides the fact that 500HTT looks nice, is there any other benefit to running it this high?
Aren't 416x6=2500Mhz DDR500 6-3-3-2.5 (divider120)
or
357x7=2500MHz DDR500 6-3-3-2.5 (divider150) same ??? I think they might be ;)
But anyway, good luck on getting it above 500HTT :thumbsup:
Yes, that is seriously and sweetly so insane :toast:
Thats some insane speed, congratulations dude :)
I am loving that screenage, even though it isn't the first 500MHz HTT I've seen. w00t! :toast:
On a personal note, I need to upgrade very soon. :p:
Let me tell ya a little story:)Quote:

This is way back at Icrontic. We were the first over 170, 180, and Eric, DDTUNG and I were the first to eclipse 200 on the AMD platform, and by that point we used that to enhance our 3D benching.
This is not purely about the bandwidth produced, because of course it can be ascertained that at the same CPU Mhz, a BH-5 270Mhz 2-2-2-5 1T will outperform 325Mhz 2.5-3-3-7. Not always tho, depends on the bench.And at 250Mhz the bandwidth is certainly not incredible, but used as an illustration of stability among many benches.
Although I was unaware of some of these guys going over 500HTT, I wanted to illustrate the stability of the achievement, which I still have much to post with Prime, SuperPi etc etc. But the fact that THIS is a plateau that few have achieved, and even fewer have achieved in stability tests.
FSB overclocking is just like total CPU Mhz overclocking, or trying to attain the highest bandwidth(at highest 1-1 FSB/Mem overclocks) such as you do and run stable 16M and 32M Super Pi's.
Its an achievement and goal for all who can accomplish it in whatever their niche is.
Certainly if others had achieved this from this forum, it would not have been asked what significance it has except "HTT chasing".
Thank you for the kind words otherwise my friend:)
Randi:D
The new clockgen allow up to 600 mhz :)Quote:

@MrIcee,
I want you to understand that I really appreciate and can't stress that any more, how important part in "benchmaking history" you play...
Don't you think that maybe not many people are interested in achieving super-high HTT because they might know that it just doesn't benefit the system as far as overall performance compared to lower HTT but same mem speed?Quote:

I've always been very sceptical about that as well as posting record braking Sandra Mem BW benchmarks. That just didn't make enough sense to me as 3DMark runs or SuperPi did. But maybe I should just try and see what is the hole hype about :)
I understand that, sir...Quote:

It's just if I had to rate certain benchmarking records I would put 3D as first, then SuperPi (although, I would love to see sth more than 1M), then probably HTT and suicide CPU speed shots. But that's just me... Not sure If anyone else shares that point of view.Quote:

but still nice bm :toast:

Its all about the Thrill of Victory.
It's like when you see high CPU screenys that are just sreen shots and nothing more. A lot of viewers dig it. Although in MrIcees case he has made this benchable.
There's nothing at all wrong with showing off 500 HTT benchable.
OPP
Thanks OPP:)
I guess you hit it on the head, benchable. That has always been the keystone to an achievement. What the heck is a screenshot if its not benchable, especially a bios screenshot:rolleyes:
Back in the day screenshots were laughed at if you could not back it up with stability tests or at least benches. Thats why today the hobby can sometimes be a farse, which is a shame. Its nothing like it used to be back in the Icrontic days(that time period), when enthuisiasts demanded results for an overclock or FSB achievement to be legitimate.
Same thing with 3DMark benching, it used to be if you could not run the ENTIRE bench you were not taken seriously, because the measuring stick was the ability of your system to remain stable thru the entire benchmark. That has also majorly gone by the wayside.
Randi:D
That's exactly what I'm trying to say...Quote:

Some time ago I tried to show a difference...
I posted full set of benchmarks with my Winnie / BH-5 @ 276x10 6-2-2-2.0-1T. I would soooo like to see more stuff like that, seriously...
Just making sure... Randi --- respect!
Nice, but the WR is 543 MHz by Jeffchen :)
Well thats an american world record then. :banana4:
:toast:
Ahhhh...The Icrontic days....With OPP as our fearless leader, DD as his trusty caddy, Mr. Icee (was and still is) the voice of reason, Joe trying to keep up but
making too many blue arcs with power supplies, and mbrock chasing my tail. Those were the days**sniff sniff**. Congrats Randi! :cool:
Good to see you around Joe:)Quote:

Did you get your new rig up and running yet?? Keep in touch and keep me abreast:)
Randi:D
Good Job ;)
GJ Randi, nice to see some benches at that speed. Guilty as charged as a screen shot junkie. Maybe you are referring to the other 500+ FSB guys. I always put up some brutal pi benches though and for scrutiny I post patched and unpatched. After the last thread on running full benches and we took a head count and not many had full benches posted with all the tests run. Im proud to say I was one of the guys who ran the whole test.
Cabojoe is a name I have not seen in a long time, good to see you around.
mricee is user 85 and cabojoe is user 84, thought I would post that stat. Im just a few away at 90. Opp has us beat at 57. He was a tab bit quicker than us on that day :lol:
you right! congrats MrIceeQuote:

How are those 6600gts coming? (That's the last thing I heard you were up to...)
PS. Where are the XR forums coming back, what's the deal with them? :)
Kool post removed, PM sent.
keeping thread clean.
congrats randi!!!! :toast: :YIPPIE:
Nice work Mr Icee, glad to see your mug around here again.
Great CERTIFIED work! ;)
Congrats
A great achievement.
:toast:
wow, 500mhz fsb :slobber:
Again, thanks guys:)
I'll soon have some more pics to post running Prime95 with the BH-5 installed instead of the G.skill with tighter timings. I primed for 16 hours and ran first a 16M SuperPi, then a little later a 32M SuperPi while Priming. This board and chip are just phenomenal stability-wise @ 500mhz FSB. Please note, that the LDT is running at 2500Mhz:up:
I did run it for a bit at 510Mhz FSB last night, but need to make more adjustments before I can 100% stable. No luck over 510 yet tho, but stay tuned:D
Randi:D
Yes, those were the days indeed :cool:Quote:

Hats Off Randi :toast: A nice screen shot is one thing, but making a benchable HTT record is another!
This isn't much different to me wanting to bench real gaming rigs versus pure bench rigs. The overl:banana::banana::banana::banana: translates into "real" performance you can use and sets the bar higher than bansi runs allow.
*sigh* I miss the old days. I still have the crystal orb ddtung sent me for making the top 5 on 3DMark01 as a member of the Icrontic 3D team as a memento of that era.
Glad to see you back and running hard Randi!!
Great scores
the good old days... :)Quote:

Man, congratu-freakin-lations. That is insane lol. I can't imagine the time it took to incrementally get that thing up that high. That's ridiculous. Good job :banana:

Thanks for some history lessons :)

Thanks for taking time to help put your achievement into perspective for us. You really drive your point home regarding xtreme stability when you mentioned snapping off a 32M SuperPi while deep within a Prime run. :eek:Quote:

VERY nice MrIcee, this is so nice to see...that there's always someone pushing the envelope in one area or another here at XS. :toast:
As promised, I have the 16M and 32M SuperPi stability testing(after running Prime95 16 hours) posted up in a thread here
I am now working on attaining the highest stable and benchable1-1 HTT/Memory utilizing the G.Skill PC4400 LE. I had hit 370Mhz previously but have not been 100% stable. I've started at 350HTT this time and will incrementally increase once stability has been achieved.:)
Randi:D
Great :up:
Hmm, but: doesn't Prime decrease its priority when there's another application running (especially stressing apps ;) )!?
I mean, I know it's fully stable... it's only a thought...
Cause once I was looping 3dmark01 for 11hours+ running Prime in the background, Prime was only showing little progress after shutting 3dmark. :shrug:
you sir, are an ANIMAL!Quote:
