SF3D OC party (E8600 = pifast WR + more)

[SF3D]

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 (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:



Donor and Dedal is trying to break the ladder:




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 setup for saturday benching: (Maximus II Formula, DDR2) NeoForce got the honor to bench this great setup



Here is the best results from saturday bench session:

Superpi 1M: 7.516 / 6.158GHz ( I don't have right screenshot, motherboard is missing):



Superpi 2M: 19.266 / 6GHz (Random run..)



Superpi 4M: 46.219 / 6GHz (just random run...)



Pifast / 6077 MHz. (This was WR at that time of the weekend ) Congratulations to NeoForce



Aquamark with GTX 280 / 6053 MHz:



Max validation 6.2GHz:

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:








Then was the benching time

Here is me preparing the board (remember to check the sitting posture and wall behind :



After few hours of benching (P5Q3 Deluxe):



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 Pifast WR.. at least it was when I was benching





[This board is really awful in superpi 32M 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 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!

very well result congrats did you try 3dmark over 6ghz

[fasttruck860]

Nice fsb on both boards. Congrates on the record and nice scores all around. What a holiday, booze and ocing.

[dinos22]

wow you guys had a nice team there
i love the place you live at
so tranquil

good results but the board seems to be letting you down
try biostar as you can use PL9 up to 650 at least
it will be very fast

[SF3D]

very well result congrats did you try 3dmark over 6ghz

Thank you! My P45 board is not good with 3Dmarks at the moment. I have to test my motherboard much more before next bench session.

Nice fsb on both boards. Congrates on the record and nice scores all around. What a holiday, booze and ocing.

Thanks! it's not a holiday if there isn't booze and oc

wow you guys had a nice team there

I got my board just before these guys arrived. I didn't got any time to check subsettings or GTLref. PL 9 would have been nice.

The summer place is ment to be a place where we can chill out and forget every bad thing in our lives

[M.Beier]

Nice run
Though, as always, I insist, its not WR before release of HW, but hey; thats soon

EDIT:
your debug, where did you get it? I cant find any basic ones in DK, sadly!

[ZoLKoRn]

Very nice well look like very funny time

[Gautam]

The rules of extreme benching are being rewritten as we speak. Congrats guys on showing us what real benching is going to entail in the days to come, so much for wimpy 5.8's and wussy screenshots at 6g's. That's the standard now. Can't wait for these chips to retail.

It's in the HWbot now. I got the second place in oc league

That debug card is from Russia. I can't find any from here either.

Very nice well look like very funny time

Yes, it was a funny weekend

Yes. These chips are insane. 6G is nothing . If our motherboards would not have limited the overclocking, scores would have been better. I think we will soon see some sick Superpi / pifast scores

[Charles Wirth]

Nice chip and board, thanks for sharing the pics.

Grats on 6Ghz

[George_o/c]

Great job SF3D ! Congarts on the WR too

The summer place is ment to be a place where we can chill out and forget every bad thing in our lives

Yeah, but you got to admit ... Benching with friends while having some beers, a large pizza (I am chubby ) 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 ?

[ataruz]

Congrats. Nice Setup and Nice pictures

[Zannema]

Congratz for WR my friend

[Traxman]

Really nice benchs !

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.

[MARCO74]

Nice run end great chip.

[BenchZowner]

Very nice guys.
Congrats on the scores.
Looks like you had some real fun there as well

And SF3D, nice place man

[Nordling]

As it is a pity that at me is not present while possibility to go in Finland

[hey]

These 8600s rocks!!! but of course have a good job on it! congrats

[loopy83]

I want such a 8600
Nice results.....

and nice pics of your holidays.....

[Monstru]

You guys seem to have a lot of fun, in beautiful places and with nice o/c toys. Congrats guys

[Solarfall]

SWEET CLOCKS+ numbers.. heheh damn petri !!!! how many motherboard do you have :P:P:P:P

[xt0m]

Nice results, bro - wish I could've stuck around for the meet
Looks like you finally found someone who didnt chicken out of going to the top of the tower, lol

Are the bridgy/latter pics from Vähäjärvi?

See you again some time before Xmas

[Nosfer@tu]

Amazing results.
Amazing Team.

Amazing Weekend

Love to see teams or just cross country benching
Everybody is having so much fun

[SF3D]

Nice chip and board, thanks for sharing the pics.

Grats on 6Ghz

Thank you! &GHz is quite easy with 10 multiplier.

Great job SF3D ! Congarts on the WR too

Yeah, but you got to admit ... Benching with friends while having some beers, a large pizza (I am chubby ) 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 ?

True. I have always overclocked alone and it is getting boring nowadays. More people, more fun.

Congrats. Nice Setup and Nice pictures

Thanks you!

Congratz for WR my friend

Thank you! I think it will be beated badly soon

Really nice benchs !

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.

Nice run end great chip.

Thanks! Chip is great!

Very nice guys.
Congrats on the scores.
Looks like you had some real fun there as well

And SF3D, nice place man

Thank you! I like this place too

As it is a pity that at me is not present while possibility to go in Finland

Maybe next time you will come too

These 8600s rocks!!! but of course have a good job on it! congrats

Yes, it's not just walk in the park, when you are benching over 6.1GHz

I want such a 8600
Nice results.....

and nice pics of your holidays.....

Yes thank you!

You guys seem to have a lot of fun, in beautiful places and with nice o/c toys. Congrats guys

True! Maybe our preparation was the key this time

SWEET CLOCKS+ numbers.. heheh damn petri !!!! how many motherboard do you have :P:P:P:P

I have enough motherboards Maximus II were NeoForce's own board.

Nice results, bro - wish I could've stuck around for the meet

See you again some time before Xmas

Thanks! The dock where Dedal and Donor are jumping is in my summerplace 30km to the west from Tampere.

Amazing results.
Amazing Team.

Amazing Weekend

True, True, True. This is nice hobby, cause it is so international

[gandalfone]
