4x 8800gt

i need bridges


2 gpu sli 39594



4 gpu sli 45369



sorry for the small size

[msimax]

well my night is turning into crap i was gonna bench a 9800gx2 but after i installed drivers everything is crap i tried everything.. so i took it back




this is what i get after rebooting trying all the lastest drivers

Great work msimax!

I'm amazed to see 4 GPU scaling without bridges! It's pita that score is kinda low. I was getting 64k+ with my CF setup (but not on Vista of course).

Are you planning on getting another GX2? I'm curious how official Quad-SLI will fare on your setup.

i was trying to get another one but they sold out

i have a question for programmers on how to raise the htt limit in ntune. the reason i ask is because i want to get barcelona cpu but if my mb wont OC them in the bios then i need a software tool and ntune is the only one that works for me. the problem is at stock ntune will only let you go to 250 htt, but if you OC, that will be the max htt selectable and then you can only down clock from there


heres example


is there a way to edit the registry or whatever to raise that limit to like 300

or if your not sure just point me i some direction to start with THANK YOU

What board are you using to get Quad SLI with 8800GTs, and I though bridgeless SLI was only for back in the day with the lower end 6000-7000 series

l1n64

i even got sli option with just two cards and no bridge

[BrokenWall]

thats strange, I wonder if you can bridge the first two and last two then use the bus to connect the two pairs of cards for better quad sli

[LIKMARK]

You got any barcelonas for your board msimax?

[nosboost300]

whoa, i had no idea my board could do quad sli.. makes me wanna pick up 4 8800gt's!!! nice to see another person running this board, now i don't feel so lonely (not that i even received mine yet.. but soon enough )

could you do any 3dmark06 runs??

edit... just noticed your 1280x1024 monitor!

[s7e9h3n]

I'm not quite sure the board will run Quad SLI. However, dual-dual SLI should work fine.

scores went up but its not worth the hassle for me right now trying to rig 2 bridges. what im thinking about next is 3 9800gtx to see if that works but im busy now building my water chiller so hopefully that goes well then ill start looking at quads

[nosboost300]

niceee, if the 3 way sli works out for you, lemme know, i'd definitely pay you some money to make me a triple sli bridge for this board

hrmm.. i just realized our computers are extremely similar...

socket f... fx70's, ballistix, geforce 8... antec psu (only i'm on the 650watt trio )

lol, how fun, now i know who to go to for help :p

i was thinking of picking up 2 512 sticks just so i could stay using dual channel.. i won't be having an instruction manual, so i'm not sure which slots to shove the ram in to keep it that way?! gonna pick up 2x512 of some tracers once i get more money (i spent the last of my spending money on me lady.. bad move lol)

[msimax]

finally got my chiller going its the same design as modzilla's but with a bigger cooler tank
heres a example

this after 1/2 hour
gonna finish insulating the rest of the lines to get better temps!!

[nosboost300]

your messy desktop makes me sad!

and which cpu temp should i be looking at?!

and thats one sweet looking chiller,can't wait to see the benchies! i'll be back w/ my new toys this weekend as well

[msimax]

chiller working excellent finished wrapping the lines and i get good frost in about a 1/2 hour but the evap still forms ice with antifreeze and slx denatured alcohol so i know i can get better temps if i find something that can hold the temps down

im also getting bad checksum error on bootup so i have to see whats giving me problems with that i checked the insulation and its bone dry and i hope its not the bios cause its soldered

[nosboost300]

soldered bios?! is that board standard.. or operator error? lol

[s7e9h3n]

How is the bios soldered on your board? Gotta pic? My board's bios is removable .

[msimax]

the new ones are soldered

[msimax]

a big to modzilla as i only spent $185 on this thing

and im thinking about doing a phenom build while i wait on a rma

[msimax]

i think i will go with this board

[msimax]

*last pic*
this thing is great i started at 7pm turn it off with the pump still running at 8, and its still cooold. now i just need something to put it on

[msimax]

i had problems with flow when at cold temps so i got a better pump than my d4 hopefully

[msimax]

much better flow
