6.6GHz 06
nice

Oh yes, and we managed to pass the CPU tests at this speed (all cores):

(click for full screenie - low score / bad run though)

3DMark06 score at 6600 / 4840 + 2x4870 @ 800/930:

we passed 06 at 6.6GHz close to 10 times during this session (some runs at default GFX clocks). the setup was solid as a rock on LHe. the OS could use some tweaking though...

picked up a pair of M4A79T boards during lunch break and Vince prepared them both with coating. Vince set up the primary rig with Aaron's LHe "Muy Frio" cooler, I prepared the backup rig w/ Vince's new Phenom II pot. Since the main rig turned out to be a perfect setup we'll have to save and use the backup rig at some later date

highest CPUZ capture (with good old mspaint -method!):


we had 7025MHz on the screen for a few seconds but didn't quite manage to capture it for screenshot / validation.
we also saw 7088MHz briefly - need to dig it up from the video camera

the LHe Grande Finale was one of the coolest if not the coolest OC session I've ever been a part of. Great Teamwork, Great audience, Great results and we even managed to get some proper music on at the end of the session

it's very easy losing faith when you are on your 6th or 7th setup all tired and tryin to get something going hehehe
