SF3D OC party (E8600 = pifast WR + more)
Hi!
Some of my russian friends (NeoForce, Dedal and Donny) was having a holiday in Finland. We were preparing ourselves in my summerplace on friday. We eat and drink.. a lot :D (yes, that is 1L of vodka on the table for starters)
My friend Jukka is not in the picture, but he was having fun with us.
Here is the crew picture:

Next day we were having a really good feeling and it was time to do some overclocking. Intel Russia was very kind when they delivered us a nice E8600 to play with.
Here is the beauty (E8600 ES) (Thanks to Intel Russia)

Here is the best results from saturday bench session:
Superpi 1M: 7.516 / 6.158GHz ( I don't have right screenshot, motherboard is missing):

That was the day 1 with E8600. After great results it was time to celebrate those scores and we were in the city until the sun was rising again. After a short sleep we started to bench next setup. It was time to use my new revision of ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe, which was doing a lot better with memory than the previous rev.
In the morning we were sightseeing Tampere:

Here is the results from sunday:
Superpi 1M: 7.532 / 6172 MHz (My OS is not very well optimized :( )

Aquamark3 344.629 / 6045MHz / single GTX 280:

Then the best part of this sunday:D Pifast WR.. at least it was when I was benching :up:

[This board is really awful in superpi 32M :shrug: So I didn't bench it at all. 3DMark01 is not fast with enough with single GTX 280, so there was no idea benching it :(
Thanks my friends :up: It was really nice weekend and scores were even nicer! We will meet again in HIT 2008 in noverber in St. Peterburg
Special thanks to:
Intel Russia
ASUS Nordic (Kinc)
Tamrex for providing 40L of LN2
Thanks to you all for checking this thread! Bye!
The longest quote monster I have seen...

Yeah, but you got to admit ... Benching with friends while having some beers, a large pizza (I am chubby :D) and also discussing with them, is much more fun than benching alone ! :)
For example, benching SPi 32M takes you like 13- minutes (65nm dual cores on watercooling) ... what am I supposed to do in that period of time ? :p:
True. I have always overclocked alone and it is getting boring nowadays. More people, more fun.

I've a question, which bios did you use in the Maximus 2 Formula ?
Because with mine, it was difficult to reach high frequency, but FSB is allright (670 ready). Coeff 8x is okay, but higher no.
Thanks! you can see the bios from screenshots. High fsb and high MHz does not always go together like you know.
