Asus Commando goes wild, again

[Moonman]

Still have some "hopes" for DDR2 based system so I've been playing with new Commando and the only memory that it likes. D9GMH

Little pretesting with snow in Nanok's rampot Pot temp around 0°C.


Then a little harder approach. SS cooling rampot, temp of rampot@-50°C, I guess that ram's temp was around -10°C to -20 °C
Flour power to insulate. Was PITA to clean, but it did it's job flawlessly.


And the final results.
Pifast
1st place in Slovenia


SuperPi32M
1st place in Slovenia


Actual voltages. To vcore add 0.36 V, measured on a capacitor near socket.


Tracers stil working. After a day in a freezer and a rampot clamp.

Thanks for watching

[WaterFlex]

Commando rocks again.
Well done mate

[Moonman]

Thanks mate.

And yes, still not forgotten board. New BIOS, solving a nasty bug of "forgetting" the vcore value that was set if you reboot your system and make a change in bios. Not funny if you try to boot at 550 MHz FSB and it auto sets the vcore at 1.56 V with aircooling in a warm room.
Have to test if it's faster than previous version.

Commando 1901 BIOS

The best board for 1M PP and no 1M result?
Anyway, congrats on the 1st places in Slovenia and glad to se "The Legend" again in action

[Moonman]

I already have PI1M result with Commando under LN2.
But will do 1M with dual channel now and try to get a good PP

Hvala sosed

[Borys]

Commando never will never die. It's very good mobo for benching. I have P5b Dlx for benching :]

[OC4/3]

Nice benchie there

[tiborrr]

Splendid overclocking there, Grega!

I'm sure next time we will aim for sub 8min!

[George_o/c]

Great job guys ! Nice to see again old Commando on action

[TheGanG]

Good action Moonman, what DDR2 do u use? Brand/Model

[Moonman]

Tnx guys.

Memory is Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC6400

[TheKarmakazi]

nice work moonman! how many times have oyu had the board under LN2?

[Moonman]

Tnx!
This one is still waiting for a LN2 run. I hope that with LN2 on NB it'll be able to complete a SPI32M run at 625 MHz with memory @5-4-4-12 and SPI1M above 635 MHz.
Previous Commando had 2 sessions but I seriously think that with i965 we'll need a Wolfdale with 11x multi.

[ruggero]

wow,you have a tolotto for ram?
Any bench sub zero?
How much?

uhm,I prefer the homemade,the cu is the best I think for subzero.

I will try with the LN2 bh-5

sorry for my bad english

[freaksavior]

sorry to bring a thread out of semi retirement.

How well does the flour work to insulate the board?

[rene19831]

Nice action with this board Pifast rockz with an E8600

[TheGanG]

sorry to bring a thread out of semi retirement.

How well does the flour work to insulate the board?

CPU area is insulated with art eraser gum. Flour is just for Dram sector (may be soak in?)

[denice25]

Congratulations man, Great Job!!

oh okay

[Turrican]

awesome result bro.
commando power.

[fng77]

The Commando is a hell of a board. It never stops amazing me.

[Moonman]

Tnx again guys!

@freaksavior
As TheGanG mentioned, had no art eraser so used flour. Worked flawlessly, no moisture in the "wrong" places but a bit messy.

Last run with Commando
SPI1M, LN2


2k1, CPU cascade cooled, GPU water cooled

Good ol Commando at it again. I really enjoyed my board, was a beast.
