XS OC Party @ CES

[Movieman]

Screw the booth babes I just want pics of how much drool was hanging off of dave's chin when he saw the booth babes........I could use a new avatar

No booth babes, but there was Jasmine acting as hostess.
To say she was a '10" would not be properly describing her.
Now imagine a young lady, perfect figure, beautiful face and add in a pleasant outgoing personality and you have just an idea of who she is.
She handled herself with a poise beyond her years.
The best way to say it is just a nice person that your glad you met..

Had a great time last night! Thanks to everyone that helped put on the event. Met a ton of really great people! Here's a few pics I managed to grab:



Great pic of RA1D and fugger (with Craig from CSX making an appearance!):


Hard to see, but the CPU was at 6300MHz:


Me and RA1D with Eric and Angela from Gigabyte (great people):


Dave with his Kareoke prize:




Jasmine and I:



Meant to get more pics, but instead I got more drunks. Thanks again everyone!

Do i see a SLI bridge?or is it crossfire?

IF so what board what benchez? Give us more info!!!

Those are HD 4870x2s, look at the signature stub heatsinks near the CrossFire bridges.

Man that was a great time !!

It was really great meeting a lot of people that I have only seen posts of. Charrles had a top notch event at his place with some amazing benching being done by amazing people.

Thanks !

My ears are still ringing from Movieman, all ear plugs had been used up, worn out and tosssed before I came. Was great meeting Dave tho !!

Thanks to all the vendors that made this possible also !

Looks around, realises I left my BAN HAMMER back in New Hampshire!

( Don't listen to his BS, his mouth was flapping in the breeze also!)

[Oliver]

sounds like you guys had a blast , and for sure seems like someone got their rigs pushed after the KPI model...

great work and cool backup by the companies

hehe Dave is a really cool guy and it was a pleasure to met you my friend

A few more pic's

Ok some pic's coming up

The big tent outside durning the day.


The cold stuff


They had 2 small tanks of Liquid Helium


The crew durning the day getting things tuned up with LN2. That pot would take a full thermo of LN2. They would pour it non stop to keep it filled up. Temps for these tune ups for -190c, about as cold as you can get with LN2.




Jake from EVGA was there inside having fun with a Core I7 965 setup. He was rather board here and I thought I heard hi, crying under his breath... I want to play with Liquid Helium, we are only -80c here ! ... soob... soob. Just kidding Jake


The over head screens as it started to get dark


The dome outside at night. I told them... This is Vegas you guys need Lasers !


And they are starting to get ready for the Helium




These here are at -230c which was as cold as they could go. Breaking 3DMark05 records with a 45K+change run





So with the setup they were using they said that they need to develope new pots to get even colder. It was pretty wild, I had to leave the tent a few times because of all the Helium in the air, you could smell it and it would get to me after awhile. They said the night before it filled the top part of the dome and started to change the sound of the speaker setups they were using.

So with these new AMD chip you simply cannot get them cold enough. You could pour LN2 by the gallons and these chips still want more. They ended up with a CPUz run of 6.8ghz I think it was. But final WR was run at -230c and 6.3ghz.

Intel was rolling inside with a 965XE setup and had some problems at first but Jake from EVGA managed to pull some good numbers out of there on LN2, I think it was 5.3ghz that I saw, he most likely got a bit higher as Jake showed Franswa *sp from Intel how to run this setup. Good Job Jake !!

It was a great event !

[msimax]

oww crap 6.8ghz on amd,i guess this is what happens when you grow up and confront your childhood bully

nice work AMD cant wait till am3 comes out i wanna pay with ddr3

[dinos22]

nice to see Fugger in a suit and tie for a change

looking good there Charles

did you lose some weight as well buddy

[tajoh111]

Fugger looks so wasted. Good thing there a monorail and an ample supply of taxis.

[before]

On the Intel side was rather mild clocks of 5.3ish Ghz,

Thanks Charles, Mike, and all the others.

Well; we did much more than 5.3GHz.

I did nearly 5.6GHz @1.5v (if I'm not mistaken it was a little less than 5.59GHz) while bob was pouring the pot (at about -95C). Only suicide BTW; stability was hard to find over 5.4GHz. AFAIK, the chip was yours.

PS. I'm just realizing that it was the WR... Hopefully, the valid might still be on bob's HD. lol But I didn't care about that... I'm definitely not a WR guy.

Yeah I thought that you guys did higher, I was just not in the room when you did. Very nice on the 5.6ghz !!

[Fr3ak]

It was "only" 6.5 GHz for CPU-Z as far as I know The 05 WR was taken down by 6.3 GHz.

Amazing job, Team Finland. Seeing the system boot into windows at -245C seems so unreal, yet it is happening.

It was great meeting new people like grandpa Movieman and seeing familiar faces again.

The event was as perfect as it could have been, well, with one exception: The location could have been a strip club

Many thanks to everyone involved, especially Fugger, AMD and Team Finland.

It was great talking to other people that share the same passion.

Oppainter is such a great entertainer. Too bad I can't list everybody present at the event, the list would be quite long. It has been a pleasure

I took a zillion pictures that I will upload when I get back to Germany. Here is what the board looked like after about 2 hours of benching with liquid helium:

[cydoo]

congratz guys!!!

very very impresive :d

6.4Ghz for an AMD processor!

amd returns

how many time for 7.0ghz?

[crazydiamond]

is there a reason you guys used the DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH instead of the reference/gigabyte 790gx's ??

[Sly Fox]

Not OC related sadly, but did anyone happen to catch this guy: http://www.viddler.com/explore/engadget/videos/189/

You have to wonder how much caffeine (or other perhaps less than legal substances) this guy was hopped up on.

[phelan1777]

A little eager?

[THRASHER2]

Congrats Guys

**LONG LIVE NV OC PARTYS**

[Conumdrum]

When the results get formally posted/reviewed, please post some links up?

[64NOMIS]

More shots. Still culling. Thanks to Christian who picked up my camera and shot a bunch of these. I had a great time...more to come.

[SoF]

just wow - this looks like a blast you had there. AMD scores are just going insane, like the temps Can't wait for more pictures

[Drwho?]

congratz guys!!!

all the world records, except 3Dmark2005 are intel ... even with 6.3ghz ... the phenom architecture really need a new design ... hehehehe ...

As Dirk Mayer said in 2005, frequency is not what only matters, the performance only matters ... it was followed with Hector agreeing .... hehehehe

by the way, it was very fun, thanks to all, and i hope that every body saw that the AMD guys and the intel guys were gentlemen, we expect you guys to follow our example, we had drinks together, and spoke friendly (without breaking any NDA). The war is only in your imagination, let's keep the olympic spirit ... bragging is allowed ... but respect is a must.

[informal]

Yeah Francois,just wait for 6 core Istanbul for desktop,lets see how 8 threads in 965@3.46Ghz go against Deneb at 3GHz with 50% more cores .

Oh and those -240C temps are insane .How about that,a retail chips with no cold bugs and no *dirty tricks* a la "disabled temp sensors" and similar .

You missed that 3D mark 05 run by Bob , 05 world record does belong to Intel
