Preview to some weekend fun

[Zeus]

Dumo, i hate to burst your bubble, but do you have any idea why that validation is rejected by CPU-Z? Unknown CPU maybe?

[msimax]

Dave and I are home, the guys may still be at it. We had left around 7.

Overall the day was a blast with Chew* manning a dry ice rig, msimax running a an ln2, and Dumo and myself tag teaming a ln2 x4/gtx 295 system that was very responsive and very fun to play with.

I won't spoil anything, so you'll all have to wait for the pics and vids to be posted later on.

we didnt stop till like 3~4 in da morning

[msimax]

im gonna have to invest in some better ln2 pots

[G0ldBr1ck]

Any noticable improvment over the c1 ES chip with the c2 ES?

[chew*]

Webspace is finally back up.... Enjoy next time it will be your fresh install that gets abused ( It was industrial espionage/sabotage )


So I started out around this speed, Mind you I was not under LN2, this is all DI, home made pot.

System specs
Gigabyte ma790GP-DS4H
AMD AM3 x4 PH II
PC P&C 750w quad
2x4850 reference visiontek
OCZ golds 5-8-8-24 ddr400 SPD (running 5-5-5-15 1066+)
36g WD raptor boot
320GWD aks Bench Drive
Homemade DI pot









There is a little inside competition going on between Msimax, Dumo and myself.....when limited to phase or DI. The race to 25K 06, So I cranked up the heat a little more Almost 25k.



Somewhere along the line of chasing that 25K my motherboard changed my memory timings....didn't realize till I started looking at saved pics







At this point I realized That none of my CPU-z validations were saving (enjoy ) PLan B





I think this is a DI WR for an amd chip..


One last run with PI 1m.

Yes, without a doubt. msimax could tell you more with that as he's played with both now.

What did I do? F7 wasn't working for you? Worked for Dumo and I. You have to make sure the cpu-z window has the focus, then press F7 on the keyboard, and assuming your keyboard is transmitting the keystroke it should deposit a validation file in the cpu-z folder.

Time to go and unpack the car and post my pics I think!

All validations even at stock 2.4 gig show up as corrupted...and refuse to validate Etc my 5.2 validation is gone.....Most likely due to bluescreening attempting that 4.3 on air with the 720 BE and TRUE, Even reinstalling Cpu-z did not help, most likely the registry is/was screwed.

Not a big deal. Would likely get rejected for Unknown Cpu anyway. I would have taken a screenie though had I known.

Aww...my bad man. Serves you right for eggin me on though! I had to try!

All in good fun man Next time Ill let you try with your own drive at colder ambients Fwiw although the same model motherboard it wasn't the board I did it on. Sometimes that makes a diff. My board is extremely tough, could be a cut above the rest.

Some pics from the day:
First the victims..
Three very sweet chips:


And the players;
Our host, chew*

Enjoy

Dumo

msimax;



First shot at over 6GHz;
( I think this took Dumo 30 seconds to get to! )

The guys at work:

60 litre's of LN2

Some Superpi 1m

[Raiderman]

Dang....either that refrigerator is reaaaally small, or msimax is reeaaally big..
I cant see the top of my fridge!

msimax is a big GUY..and a good one..

Awesome thread! Thanks for the virtual tour into the OC Highlands! Great work.Glad to see AMD has got a winner.

[systemviper]

EAST COAST ROCKS

[freeloader]

Some very nice results!

[chew*]

This is just the beginning, running 3 systems at once although sounds nice in theory is rather hectic.

Future plans are in the works and next time I think we will focus on one system as it just makes life simpler.

I however think if there is a guiness book of world records for the most hardware and people overclocking at sub zero temps in a 6' x 10' room we would be #1

I just got my hands on ddr3 so hopefully I can delve into this department as buying high performance ddrII at this point in time doesn't make much sense. All my results were done on a low budget set of OCZ golds.....

I'm forgetting my manners;
My thanks to you and your Mrs. for having me down.
Was a great time and a day I'll remember.

Don't have to thank me the TRUE was more than thank you enough and will be put to good use. Glad we could finally meet up in person.

The Mrs. well No one could ask for someone more understanding and patient. The kitchen is "her space" without her help and patience, yesterday would never have happened as I was a tad short on funds.

I must say that the stars of this show were the cpu's, they are very very resillient and can take quite a bit of abuse......as for some of the reports floating around.....I was cranking 2.2-2.3v to my golds.......and we pushed up to 1.9v ( we ran out of volts ) into the cpu's and everything still works fine......

[Raiderman]

Behind every computer geek/techie/OCer, there is a very patient Mrs. I know my wife puts up with alot from me...."What did you buy now?", "ummm, computer parts."

[chew*]

It appears that 3d run would place me as 17th in the world for 06 2 x 4850's I'm just getting warmed up, next up LN2, and if needed voltmods and chilled cards



Enjoy, Fresh install seems to validate fine now.

[msimax]

one of my reserved settings

[chew*]

reserved for T - 3 weeks and counting? POT should be here by then, I will give it a go as soon as it does to see how it handles the load.

Holy e! That's some pretty wild voltage.
