tried two llano chips and had a question Mafio, should I be able to max clocks on a single stage or do they scale with cold?

my ss runs about -50.

one things for sure they do clock memory very well.

They scale with cold. With the way they clock on air, the guys doing 6 GHz definately aren't doing it on SS/DICE.

I figured, the first on does about 150 htt clock benchable, but still maxes around 4320, still have to test the other one to see if it is any better.

I am liking the A75M UD4H though, first Gigabyte board I have bought in a while that has given me no problems.

[Mafio]

hey l0ud_sil3nc3, MAYBE you could be able to max locked llano CPUs using just a single stage but if you have an unlocked one you need for sure more cold than SS or DICE.
grab some LN2 and have fun.

BTW, i moved on (ok not exactly ), my faildozer chips are just a complete epic fail.
killed two out of four and the best of them can do 7 GHz or a bit more...so to not completly waste the LN2 i did some hardcore oldschool action with DFI NF4 ultra-d, opteron 148 and a set of corsair.
CPU and RAM LN2 cooled.

p.s. beware of not pushing too hard with that giga, a friend of mine killed 3 or 4 of them...mosfets use to take fire on that mobo.

About Llano: if you care for performance watch your RAM channels. When pushing hard one channel may not init properly and it will show up in CPU-Z, but will not be used - check if available memory in task manager is correct.

I guess it I all ready knew the answer deep down inside, moar cold and moar volts

I too have heard the mosfets are so so on the UD4H, but I can't wait to see the fireworks show if something catches on fire

very useful information G. I guess this makes sense because Froxic was talking about scores being higher with lower clocks (3.6 faster than 5.2).

[BeepBeep2]

What G.Foyle said about Llano is true about BD too.
What froxic said, if results weren't halved, might mean that something laxes bigtime and makes a performance hit...

In other news,
I am out of things to overclock that are worth more than .1 HWBoints with normal water cooling...

[Hondacity]

my subs suck lol. e8600 could do 6g but ov_enable doesn't work for some reason. hence nothing over 6g lol

[Mafio]

bench for the lulz not for the boints

p.s. hey boss, i did the maxmem you were asking for.
RAM air cooled at 280 MHz 2-2-2-5 1t but result sucks.
got 640 pt, maybe 650/660 pt is doable but is impossible to match the 800 pt the 2x512MB kit get at these settings.

p.s.2. i got a gold cup with the opteron 148 in ucbench

[Don_Dan]

Is this the same chip that did ~6GHz for UCBench?

Not bad, 2x512MB would push the score for sure.
Unfortunately BH-5 are hard to find these days.

Nice work guys!

Congrats to SteveRo for reaching rank #6 in the OC League and to Hondacity for the first 800MHz DDR2 validation of the team!

[BeepBeep2]

I submitted some 3DMark06 but they don't show up as it won't calculate points.

[Hondacity]

its a huge problem but the hwbot staff are downplaying it. just keep track of it.

[BeepBeep2]

Well, confirmed that I will be going with 25L LN2 for the first time on friday. I'm low on insulation materials but I have enough to wrap the pot well. Looks like white rice will have to be my savior again. ...though it can get messy.

If I can't get LN2 setup then I'll be doing DICE, either way I'm gonna do sub-zero for 3D with these 5770's on air.

[Mafio]

wow, looking forward to your results beep.

[BeepBeep2]

Yeah, if I have to make calls and get prices matched to IMOG's .50/L (+ rent) though. (Should be no big deal, I'm going the same place he does)
We're a bit tight on cash, I've got about $50 of my saved cash to blow on LN2 + rental. Maybe I can get 35L even, but I have to make sure they rent. If not, 25lb DICE is the backup. It costs a good 2-3 hours to go to AirGas and back.

I'm sure my dad isn't too happy with the cost of my hobby... ?

[Mafio]

well, that's a good price for LN2 IMHO.
here i pay 1.2 € per liter and i have my own dewar...the LN2 men here don't know what the word "rent" means.
tell him that buy 30 liters of LN2 cost alot less than go clubbing and many other things the guys of your age usually do during weekends.

[BeepBeep2]

Bad news.
No dewar rental under 200L...but they offeered to sell me a 40L dewar for $300 which seems competitive. Do I have $300 to spend on a dewar right now? Of course not.

IMOG has something like 3 dewars, but he uses them constantly and benches for OCF. I could beg big to let me pick one up to borrow for a few $$, I guess...

Otherwise I've got one other store to try, it is opposite south of this one.
EDIT-
I.M.O.G. from OCF killed his 2600K so he is allowing me use of a full 50L dewar for $40.

Interestingly enough, the people at the most recently contacted AirGas said the only size they rent is 160L delivery filled. You can't buy any of any size there locally either. Apparently the "small ones are never seen again once they give them out a time or two."...I find that interesting as they should have all contact information of the people they are dealing business with, no?

[Don_Dan]

Great work Steve!

You've come a long way in the last 3 years!

[SteveRo]

^^ Much thanks Capitan!

[Don_Dan]

You're welcome, Master!

[Hondacity]

Thanks DD for the Tool

here's one for yah

First LN2 run of my life...
...
I need to push harder. (After I dry everything out and try again, condensation on ram slot kept dropping memory channel and BSOD/reboot)

Chip does 3D benching at 6.1.
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2321697

214xx I think was best single card HD5770 score. Of course, I think 22K can be done. CPU score just over 11K

I also had a 10.700 exact 1M score at ~6420. However froze when going to save screenshot and no backups. CPU isn't a strong chip on air/water so I think I'm managing okay. Takes 1.64v on water to bench 3D at 4.35 GHz and max 32M is 4.5 exact at 1.64v water.

I'm completely spent. 50L dewar weighs more than I do, scrawny 16 year old 125 lbs...dewar probably about 140 full.

[Hondacity]

wow 6g on amd...sweet congrats breaking that feat.

I don't have much else to show for. You guys have any tips for insulating ram side of board? I can keep everything else completely dry, barely even any frost on the pot. Just the ram slots on the board down there get wet after a while and were too much a b***h to clean up.

You guys can preview this though:

Fresh OS (OS is FUBAR corrupt) and re-tackle tomorrow. With ROG connect I should be able to bump up CPU to 6.2 for 3D and drop to 6.1 for CPU tests.
