What are those things under the bench table?

Look like just HDs in security racks.

Thanks for the thread Petri and great photo's.

Ive been out for the past week traveling and finally back home and well rested.

Everyone (general preemptive statement) - Lets assume the processors and GPU's we all get are exceptional for our use, no need to degrade any bencher for having better access than others if they have worked hard to attain such a part, this goes for all the top guys seeded parts by their sponsors, this makes sponsors unhappy as well as casts bad light on those with such parts. I would hate to have people bag on the top guys for being supplied cherry parts.

Working on Cebit now and would love to combine forces again for another OC event in Germany.

Are you talking about the 3 units there ? Those are ACARD 9010 RAM Drives if I am not mistaken. I have one here and they are very nice

Will there be a new thread up about Cebit OC event Fugger?

I'm planning to go there this year.

I think my joke was misunderstood, I was just making a pun given the fact that the CPUs were physically stored in bins. I was most certainly not attributing their scores to cherry picked parts, nor was I trying to rag on them. I've just never seen so many chips sitting in one place.

I hope I could come to CEBIT event too. Las Vegas was great, thank you for that

Yes, that's correct. Those are ACARD ram drives. I saw those first time under that benchtable.

Don't worry. We know.. we know

Unfortunatley that is not what I mean, I am sorry if it was interpreted as degrading the guys that worked really hard there. All top benchers use cherry picked hardware, it is very hard to be the first without the best hardware, and that takes no glory away from that guys that are doing it. On the contrary, testing to find the best is hard work and it takes lots of time and determination. There si no noubt in my mind regarding the tremendous work the guys put into this event, and they fully deserve our respect and appreciation for that.

What I was trying to point out is that I am unhappy that a truly good Phenom II chip takes lots of pre-testing to find and there are chips out there that bearly come close to 6G. I was expecting more from AMD then just a great fabrication process, and no cold-bug does not help at all if your chip does not scale with voltage how it should (and that is the case of many of these chips). Also performance is far from what we have expected. So...my pun was intended for AMD, not for the guys that worked hard and got really good results.

[Aerou]

guys, you MUST come to CEBIT. At least I would have a real reason to come ...

[Thunder Boy]

Hey Guys!
This is a very important mark in OC history, Liquid Helium..
5* for the inovation and pics!!
Thats realy nice work and thats great results to AMD!
No Cold Bug or boot?
Congratulations, I love that!
Have a nice Benching days

SF3D great job, very cool

Wow.

Have you guys seen this? Really cool video indeed!

Yes, Insofar as a hershey bar dropped in the sand on a hot day is the same as one pristine and in the wrapper.

Simon, what a great video! Great job

[SF3D]

Cool video Simon! Luckily our interviews were not in it

We didn't thought about consequences of our actions -->

lol and as usual the youtube comments are pretty silly, im not surprised at all

It has no seeds

[Lightman]

Great video Simon!

I love the little joke in an introduction text .

Good job!

[64NOMIS]

Put the blast shield down and use the force - the minin@va torrent seed count is not reliable - plenty of seeds, just que it up and trust in the force.

Kudos on the video

[64NOMIS]

Glad you liked the disclaimer. Even the Lawyers laughed.

It was an honor to work with the legends and a pleasure to collaborate with the XS community.

I cannot stress enough the human factor in extreme OC and events of this scale. It's difficult to capture on film. The only things preventing utter failure were the spirit of the team of overclockers and the coordination of everyone who made the event possible. The encouragement we received in the preview events inspired us to make this most extreme attempt with LHe. It was literally at the Chicago preview event that the idea for AMD to attend the XS event and perform "The Experiment" was born. The team had less than a month to make the event a reality, and a three hour window with 500L of LHe to make it history.

[Lightman]

Good to know Simon!
I like inside stories of how things are done. Sometimes people don't realize how one small decision can build or destroy big/great things.

BTW after 1h of downloading of that torrent now I have 30 seeds!

LOL I did have it up for awhile and was recieving nothing. Thanks I will try again

ahh now its going My the force be with you !
