Liquid Helium benching - Las Vegas XS OC event

[SF3D]

Hi all!

This thread is a bit late, but Team Finland have been Xtremely busy last few weeks. We like to show you some pictures and final results from the XS party in Las Vegas 10th of January 2009.

First we like to thank Simon for taking care of us and making this event possible. AMD crew really did all they could to make our stay pleasant and overclocking as fluent as possible.

We had tons of hardware to play with and there have been rumors about handpicking. There have been some bad talk about 120 CPU's used to find these we used in the event. Yes, we had that amount of CPU's, but we tested maybe 10 of them totally. Those who were there, understand how little time you have to fully test some CPU under LN2. We did broke some DFI motherboards and the DFI quality seems to be the same it have always been

OC Crew in pictures: Macci, Pete Hardman, Sampsa and Me.

OK.. enough talk.. then some pictures.

Preparation Day:

























Then Day 2 and the LHe show












Then we have some results

Thank you for watching! Team Finland will be back

Wow the photos rock! This is some next level ish, I'm impressed.

Does that withdrawal device control the flow of the helium into the pot?

[tool_462]

Awesome!

I was in Vegas at CES but was unable to make it

One of my hotel-mates made it though and gave me a good report

[massman]

So much cpu's on one table ... I'd be happy as a child

[Donbe]

It's fantastic
In addition, I look very happy.

[<<HANNIBAL>>]

wow
that is a fantastic results
-242c
maaaad
doesn't the helium change your voice, when its in air condition?

[Brumi]

-242°c

Nice results! Congratz!

[Lightman]

Lovely pictures!
Once again Congratulations TEAM Finland and AMD


PS. I love that broken DFI pic. Who took the chipset

[Zeus]

Nice pics!

What happend to the bend DFI board?

[Serpentarius]

spectacular

[sponge bob]

what about 06/01/03 3d marks ? and super pi

[Benny Lodewijk]

Amazing !!!! Congrats for the 3DMark 05 WR

[gillll]

wow !! so fast ...

any spi numbers ?

[Solarfall]

congrats petri and sampsa for the impressive clocking session .. it must be something else to be benching with -240 + c temps .
btw did you guys cool down the pot with ln2 before bringing in the big guns ( liquid helium) ?

[jasonelmore]

Good stuff guys. It's nice to work with people in the industry and see people in the industry work with the overclocking community. Great things can be done if we all work togather. Nice Results BTW!

[inCore]

Good stuff, more benchmarks!

[FischOderAal]

So liquid helium really does a good job? I was wondering because I've never seen anyone using it before and the needed energy to vaporize it is far below liquid nitrogen (ca. 66 fold iIrc). Seeing how fast LN2 can run out using liquid helium doesn't make that much sense to me.

Or was it just for the *bling*, to show the Phenom II doesn't have a cold-bug?

Nevertheless: good results

[Fr3ak]

Nice pictures!

Is there a specific reason why you ended up using the 790FX instead of a 790GX? From the pictures, it seems you had booth boards.

[ZoLKoRn]

Amazing ! look like big funny and enjoy Thanks for nice pictures SF3D

btw. give me one DFI 790! please

[dexster]

super results ...

looks like you guys had a good time too
(beer bottles on benching table tsk tsk)

[DeDaL]

Congrats again macci, Sampsa and SF3D you did really great job

Team Finland FTW

[TheKarmakazi]

Awesome work Team Finland & AMD! -242°C is just <3

[scooter.jay]

Nice bet that was fun

[RPGWiZaRD]

Hyvin tehty pojat! Quad Core @ 6.5GHz and @ 6.3GHz benchable is almost unreal.

Who would have thought AMD would be able to whitstand -242C say 2 years ago, you'd be taken for a fool.

EDIT: I'll be holding a speech about overclocking in school next Tuesday, I will be sure to include some words about you and your achievements.

[NeoForce]

Great results!
Congratulations my dear friends!
