@ Beep

why do you have all that stuff blurred out in your screen shot?

[BeepBeep2]

Because I don't want anyone to see it.

I almost didn't post it at all, I know I can do better tomorrow.

dude those results are sick you should be proud of them, you did an awesome job

6ghz + benchable is good stuff.

[Dumo]

Awesome run there Beep

[G.Foyle]

+6G benchable in 3D is very good for a random chip Also that memory speed is very nice. Check if NB will go higher.

[Hondacity]

that cpu score is also good its like a 5.9 2500k. i wonder if boosts gpu scores too.

[ZenEffect]

use blue painters tape to tape off the ram slots... then pack kneaded rubber eraser to make an air tight seal. painters tape protects the slots from the rubber eraser.... and eraser protects from air.

[Hondacity]

if you have some spare pcb(no conductor)..you can cut it to length and stuff it in the slot. then put some eraser to seal it.

[BeepBeep2]

Hmm...okay.

Cold isn't spreading very much, I actually had more spread when I tried DICE the first time. Of course, totally different insulation (with foam gaskets etc) than before.

Just after the first ~1-2 hours of benching some hefty frost makes its way to the first ramslot. VRM/PWM side is completely fine I think.

[Hondacity]

you can use a fan to blow off the cold air going down if full pot. hang the fan on the one of the 4 threaded rods and point the air towards the sky/ceiling

Wow, I don't know why I didn't think of that...

Been trying to find a place to put put the fan so it would sit right.

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

Try eva2000, I would be surprised if he didnt have stacks of them tucked away somewhere.

Guys, how hard is it to find a 5ghz benchable 2011 cpu? Did 3960x ES overclock decently?

:P

[Hondacity]

I was gonna submit some good scores this month to outdo steveO.

but he's a machine!!! ahhahahahha

2011, just avoid gigabutt. asrock and asus boards are solid.

i'm getting the 3930k and the c2 versions might hit 5.4-5.8ghz depends on luck.

[aussie-revhead]

3960x no better? I was waiting for Ivy with great hopes but I think those hopes are dashed now ....

Honda your old 580 died the other night too, one too many high bolted benchies on water ...

[Hondacity]

3960x is too expensive. but it should do 5g easily

3930k c2 seems to clock well.

i dont bench on water. only on ln2 now. so i avoid killing hardware

[Mafio]

beep, 6.1 GHz through 3dmark 06 CPU test with such a low VCORE is really good.
congrats.

this WE i failed another time with faildozer and borked another CPU.

I ended up settling on 6.06 when I did it over. It seemed like every time I crashed due to instability I corrupted the OS, had to repair install 4 times.

Faildozer FX-8150 is up next, I have about 20L LN2 left.

[Hondacity]

try a different sata cable. if it gets corrupted again. reinstall.

i think matt is done with his faildozer and has plenty of ln2. give him a call

Well...okay.

[Don_Dan]

Thanks DD for the Tool

Did it help to get a higher frequency? Did you try another SPD yet?

Try eva2000, I would be surprised if he didnt have stacks of them tucked away somewhere.

I have 2x512MB but I want more...

Great work!


PS: Happy Easter!

[Hondacity]

the spi tweaker actually have the straps... i haven't tried it yet. will be concentrating today on the r7x comp.

[Don_Dan]

I know, that's very handy when benching 32M on the Commando.

Good luck!

Beep that is amazing! nice job buddy! that is impressive for your 1st ln2 experience. you will find its not so bad once you do it. after this you are not scared anymore. just dont do anything stupid.
from my experience, the hardest part was getting the container to make optimal contact. also always take your container off after you bench to dry out the socket area after benching. I grease my dimms and the 1st pcie x16 slot but its a pain in the ass to clean and attracts dust.

on another note, what are you guys doing these days as far as insulation goes?

My process in the past has always been the following:

1. painters tape for masking, cpu socket, dimms, i/o area, southbridge, sata, and pcie slots.
2. spray the board with conformal spray front and back (i use MG chemicals acryllic lacquer conformal coating in the white and green can.
3. put some balls of eraser behind the socket and the little holes at the top and bottom of the dimms. (back of board)
4. cut a sheet of 1/8 in frost king pipe insulation to cover the back of the board and poke your mounting holes through the cpu with a nail.
5. mask off the mosfets and the area around cpu with tape making an airtight seal.
6. put 4 cubes of the kneadable german eraser in the microwave for 30 sec so its soft.
7. stretch the warm eraser over the top of the board, around cpu all the way up to the dimms and to the 1st pcie slot.
8. cut a piece of paper towel and surround the cpu socket to suck up any condensation.
9. cut your cpu neoprene gasket and stick it over the papertowel
10. insert your threaded rods for the container and mount the back plate
11. wrap your container with a layer of paper towel and secure with a shoestring
12. wrap the bottom of the container with your neoprene seal and start screwing it on.
13. pour a little ln2 and start the board immediately go into bios and watch the cpu temps drop while you monitor your fluke temp sensor and compare to the bios temps and keep screwing it down 4x4 until its close to your sensor.
14. overclock until you hit a cold bug and have to break out the hair dryer until the damn thing posts again.

this has been my method and its all i know. then I was reading about guys just rubbing vaseline all over the board and instead of taking 3 hrs to prep it ends up taking 30 min.

anyone have a better method? what are the kids doing these days?


is anyone doing the 8800 contest this month? I have 2 8800gts cards but only one slim tek9.
