My hunt is over

Well after wanting it for ages, things finally went right last night:

Socket 754 WR @ 40K, dry ice cooling (Chilly1 => CPU, Jason [old] => GPU)

That's my way of going out with a bang http://www.pirelly.nl/smiley/bigsmile.gif I hope I aquitted myself well :)

Here are a couple snaps:

I've had 181fps Car High before, but it just wouldn't give it up to me on that run. Also, as you may see I mentioned in my Compare URL, there is extra satisfaction in it for me because this X800 was labelled K.I.A. less than a week ago, but I've fixed it :cool: No small feat with my klutzy soldering skillz. Nice little comeback.

It's also pleasing to prove to myself that all this time spent learning on the forums hasn't been wasted..... that I really can hang with the big guys :gamer:

Cheers guys :toast:

Awesome job my Texas friend!! :clap:

I was asking you about your X800XT PE in the extreme mods section. I was wondering if it was still working.

Great job William... :toast: 40k with socket 754/x800 is excellent.
Way to go on not giving up on the card man....people give up way too easy. It takes work sometimes to get these scores. I'm impressed.

Thanks m8 :) Definately thanks to you that I didn't just panic and ditch the card, but instead tried to repair it. And what do ya know but it worked :cool: thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

Awesome score, but can you not get any more than 725 out of the X800? i had 675 on plain water.

Even though things got pretty frosty on the GPU, I had nary a problem :D I like to think that I insulate pretty well ;)

Truthfully I don't know. This X800 isn't as good as me last one I don't think (which did 756mhz 1.77v, didn't try more V's), but I didn't full finish testing this one. When I got it to 725mhz (at ~1.8v I think) I knew that would be enough and I didn't push higher. It may have gone further, assuming I could pump more volts into it (1.9-2.0v) :)

Thanks all!! :surf:

Heh heh, for sure m8. I remember when I was first pumped at 17.3K for stock AXP3200+ / 9700Pro / nF2...... IIRC I got that up to 17.8K before I moved on to A64 :D

Well I'm sure there are a few WR milestones left for Socket 754, but I wanted the biggest to be mine :p:

Thank you my friend Sorin! :) Yes, I do feel a little "funny" now that I have achieved my goal.... I will take my trip to Australia now, enjoy it, and then come back and start working hard in school I guess :) I don't think I'll benchmark anymore for a long long time (not seriously, I mean)...... it's too expensive a hobby and time-consuming. I'm just going to play some games with this rig, and of course continue to hangout at the forums :D I want to save some money for a motorcycle....

William ....already posted at FM, just had to stop by and congratulate you again on the world's first s754 40K!!!! :D
You know a year or two from now this could be a trivia question....."Who had the first s754 40K in 2K1?" was it OPP, was it Macci?
No it was twilius_basic!!!! :woot:
I'm sure Dave will set anyone straight that doesn't remember ;)
Enjoy the trip down under!! M8!
