Preparations for Las Vegas XS OC event

Hi all!

Last Monday some XS legends (Macci and Sampsa) visited my place and we had full day of benching. We prepared our systems for XS OC event which will be held in Las Vegas in January 10th.

We tested 3 retail AMD Phenom II X4 chips and there is few improvements in those.

- There is no HT3 cold bug. Now you can use -190c temperatures with HT link above 1GHz. We used ~2GHz.

- Northbridge overclock much better now and we managed to push it up to 3.4GHz.

Systems were:

ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe
DFI 790FX Dark
Corsair DDR2 memory @ 5-5-5-18 2T
2x ATI 4870X2 VGA's (Stock voltage, stock bios and 800/950 clocks)
Thermaltake 1200W PSU (Max power use was ~850W)
Kingpin Dragon F1 EE for LN2 cooling.

Crew: Macci, Sampsa, SF3D and Linnea (my daughter)

Here is some photos of session:

My NDA will end in 2 hours from this post :up:

woah sweet 5.6+ghz 3d benching!

must of taken a while to cut out the juicy bits :D

ya missed a bit ;)

















j/k :D

That 300C belongs to who :p:

Really nice work guys :D

looks like we have a new bencher in the fold?:p:

can't wait to see the numbers guys.:clap:

3.4G NB clock is quite amazing :eek:

Have fun at CES!

gimme gimme gimme

Oh, Sampsa, any reason why you're using your amp meter??

Looks awsome guys and well done AMD, whoever had a hand in the creation of this chip should be awarded ;)

I'll check back in 50+ min for the unedited stuff.

:up: :clap:

Git er dun homie :D

WOW!
Good news can't stop coming! First NB at 3.3GHz, now 3.4GHz and no HT3.0 CB! Well done AMD!
Can't wait for NDA lift, but 40k+ in 05 on AIR GFX is quite an achievement no matter what CPU used.

SF3D aren't you afraid letting your daughter to play with LN2 :p: I'm sure she did that 05 run for you guys :D

Looks like '09 is going to be an exciting year! I can't wait to see these un-edited scores.

err... what happened in that 06 screen..? 2 core at 5400mhz and 2 at 5600Mhz...???

seems to be good scores anyways ;)

You can adjust each core speed separately with AMD OverDriver program... :)

Happy to seem 4xxxx in 05 :up: have fun in Vegas :yepp:

Oh man.. I have to be Xtremely boring now :(

We still have to wait 7 hours :cool:

We will update pictures from airport then :up:

Hail team Finland! :bows:

How much is Macci part of AMD's return to the bencher community (in the upper segment of absolute scores that is)?

Is it just a coinsidence that after he was employed by ATI/AMD that now both GPU and CPU's are kicking ass? :)

Hey nice setups Petri. Your daughter watch the 3dmark very attentively :D

Have good time in Vegas guys :woot:

excellent work

i thought this CPU was looping Crysis at 6GHz
surely you could bench it at such speeds too :)

look at the snow outside....man wish we had that here :D

How were you cooling the northbridge and mosfets?

And what temps did they get to?
