50k Netburst done + more benches (955XE @ 6GHz+, single X1900XTX)

I invited Kinc and Incido for some benching with Intel's 955XE and ATI's X1900XTX. We also fixed some 30 litres or so of LN2 to make it a little more interesting.

Spec:
Intel 955XE - Mousepot + LN2 (-140C)
ATI Radeon X1900XTX - Natrium Single Stage (-45C)
Asus P5WD2 - vcore, vdimm, vdroop
Corsair 5400UL
OCZ 520W

The first day, we tested how much the graphics card could handle when it comes to cooling. Chefnr1 container and LN2 for the graphics card and a single stage unit for the CPU. The card managed -50C which was quite ideal for the single stage cooler for the next day.

For day two we mounted the single stage compressor to the graphics card with temperatures at around -45C and a Mousepot to the CPU with LN2. We benchmark 3DMark2001 and 3DMark05 at 6300MHz and 3DMark03 at 6200MHz

You all know that the 955XE, as well as the X1900XTX, draws a lot of current and it definitely doesn't get any better when they are heavily overclocked. We measure a power input of over 700W into the OCZ 520W PSU during the Mother Nature test in 3DMark03.

:woot:

the new generation of Intel's chips are so powerfull


great job

Congratulations!!!:slobber:
Impressive scores and many tks for the good images...I have to test my GTX under DICE and I will use your pictures for insulate my VGA.

nice, some Intel power :D, but i think that there is some resere in GPU performance :D

Yeah there really is. We managed to run 918MHz of core at the sweet spot with LN2. The memory toped out at 927MHz at best though. We had to be conservative with the LN2, therefor we used a singel phase on the X1900XTX instead.

I see lot of you use single stage for GPU ocing, I use DI and think it's way better that phase change, plus 10° lower for sure. I got mine 890 on core, LN2 didn't bring me anything, i can get core higher, but couldn't get the whole bench thru.
But that 700W is just sick, I wonder what would be with CF system.
I had fx and two cards on my enermax, and didn't face problems with power shortage, but DC probably uses mush more.

Congrats. Very nice score.

Congrats , next time i hope to be invited:toast: :toast:

lol how did OCZ handle that 700W? Maybe using 2 PSUs would give better stability and results since 700W sounds way too much for ocz.

Anyway results are awesome

:toast:

Kiwi, its INPUT power, NOT efficient output power.

You are allways invited :)

ocz, if it is 65% efficient, it would give 455W, that should handle.

Really nice guys :toast:

Really nice scores, especially the car high. What intel needs now is a GOOD crossfire board. Anyone know if DFI has any plans to make an enthusiast socket 775 crossfire board?

wow, great scores with the x1900xtx, any crossfire-results coming soon?

I must have missed that

Gotta love powerstreams :toast:

maybe you should get a better psu or 2 psu together you might get higher clocks.

Great benching :)

:toast: congrats guys! That's some nice stuff. Try dual PSU next time. Even though you're not maxing the OCZ you really need 2. It caused long term instability when it was put under a heavy load on my daily PC. Air out the back was hot and smelled like it was about to explode. If you bench again try dual PSU it may help with the clocks.

OMG :O nice CPU u got there. 3k CPU score in 06 is sick !

Nice guys, very nice :D

50k with Netburst is really a

Congratulations to Crotale, Kinc and Incido :toast:

What this score with WinXP or Win2k??

With proper tweaked OS the first place of 2001 is possible with a 955XE - who will be done the first one to do achieve that ? - Croate or Fugger ?
The bets are open :D

neither AMD is still king

In 2k1.?.......I don't think so.......:D


Nice power Crotale....!.....;) :toast:

wow thanks for a good show.....6.3GHz dual core benching power....that's great

wonder if yonah will do OK..............anyone get them yet with those new mobos

if only someone would crossfire some X1900's and a 975 chipset, with a 6+ ghz 955XE... then it would start to get real interesting ;)
2003 and 2005 scores would start dropping left and right.
been a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time since I seen intel on top.
kinda nice to have a change again.

you're forgetting Dothans

Good to see you left me some room, Im gonna push X1800 CF first and should have and X1900 CF scores on the board by Wednesday.

Grats on the big 50K

who will be done the first one to do achieve that ? - Croate or Fugger ?
The bets are open :D

k|ngp|n :D

It's nice to see someone besides fugger/hipro sportin' intel power for a change! heh :D

great job so far, and I can't wait to see what crossfire could do on one of these setups.

Great score from Sweden there :)

Grats on 50k !

Thanks alot! :)

With crossfire 1st place in 01 is very realistic. We need a win2k version that can handle four cores, since Hyperthreading seems to help out significantly in lobby low. With win2k+dx8.1 nature gained about 20 fps but lobby and car got to far behind to compete with WinXp. The tweaking part seems redundant with two cores, I'm sorry to say. To much is left to random occasions, the same goes for 3d05. Gt1 varies a lot from time to time.

Fugger should have a pretty big head room with crossfire, the systems results do not seem to suffer as much as with SLI. We are looking for a Master card. We also know that this 955XE chip have some more give :D

Great... w00t @ intel :D

the cpu has 300-400Mhz left..? It would rock the orb.. :D

More like a 100MHz for 3D :)

nj man

:toast:

Excellent work on Netburst.

Rob,you're insane!

;)

263fps LH! :)

Yes, we were pretty close to the limit this time.

I'll dig up some more system performance to our next round :)

I hope you'll have fun with your new toys ;)

*EDIT*
Here is a little movie of the 50k run:

(Kinc at the keyboard, me pouring LN2 and Incido with the camera)

Eheh,i see the video.
It's great;)

Cool video guys :D If that would have been me pouring the ln2 I would have been so happy about 50k I would have poured ln2 all over the system before the score could save :lol: Love the part where you say "damn it's high"

woooww:woot: :eek: very impressive 2k1 score...

*imagines AFI pouring LN2 all over the place* D'oh! hehheh

50K 01 is INSANE

that's really a milestone go on diceing.. :D

good job man. Congratulations

Dam nice results there. Keep up the good work.

C-BuZz

Intel is caming towards AMD :D

Great video and again, congrats on the big 50K Netburst!

Cool video and great score.
Way to go!

wheres the video, i dont see it.

nice video, how it's done looked very similar to ours, termometers, calculator, we had transportable dewar, but the sistem was the same.

You guys... rock...

just wonderin'.. how did the cpu under the SS?

We ran it between 5.2GHz and 5.4GHz, but the main focus was to determine what the graphics card could do.
