Haha, did you notice how the rankings were screwed up today?
I'm sure though you will like it. We're in front of Team PURE!



There are also some very nice scores to report, MTP04 is pushing 7900 GS SLI!

[Hondacity]

wooooo thanks for the update man...hwbot on iphone and driving is not a good combo

a big thanks to the tip man...that will definitely boost my 32m runs

woooooooo to MTP04!!! GOLD GOLD GOLD

I like it... Don't you like it too?


AH, RB has fixed it, it's back to the normal rankings...

i did scared the HELL out of me
i sawpped my new w3520 and no POST, just FF on the debug led. I though ok the cpu is DOA, put the old ones into the socket, boot...FF again.
OMG i killed my classified, removed the old cpu take a look at the pins and one of them seem a bit out of place, use a tiny screwdriver to pry it a bit put the new w3520 and f3-f6-f8 that's better

moral of the story, take care when installing a cpu into a vertical mobo
so far so good with the new CPU, i can install stuff i couldn't before like gpu drivers DOH!, also mkvtoolnix don't ask me why this one but each time i tried to install this app i had a BSOD. Now fingers crossed to see the bsod go away, i'm so tired of that .

i got the exact same batch i brought before see sig, i guess anitec.ca doesn't sell those much i should have asked to get one from the back of the shelf

[Hondacity]

lucky bastard

i think your xeon batch is awesome that 5.2xgHz with ht on is still a very good achievement

you're right it might be a good thing at least i know what to expect if it's close to the other one, i just have high expectation i guess i know it's not a bad chip. but that silver medal is killing me
i couldn't boot with QPI in slow mode it was staying on windows boot screen forever

I'll wait a few days to be 100% sure it was the cause of my bsod and i can sell it for very little money, it still clock good i did all my run this weekend with it, you just ignore ny bsod saying bad pool caller/fileinfo.sys/apc index mismatch

or i'll try to expose the die, either by removing the ihs or sanding it

i have my theory on what killed it or i should say damaged the IMC, on the bloodrage before g25 bios when you enabled XMP profile it was setting 1.85v vdimm automatically and I've booted like this a few times without noticing it. If all the warnings about the .5v difference between vdimm and vtt are true it might the cause.

new one "000012967 045BE 00010"
old one "000012967 040B7 00030"

EDIT:

when on auto, vcore of the new w3520
1.10 bios -1.080 DMM turbo off
bios = 1.15 with turbo on
old one was set to 1.2 by bios on auto, interesting, seems to run a bit hot tho for this voltage or i screw up when installing my CPU block(which might be highly possible seeing what i did earlier )

[Don_Dan]

mk-ultra, you have a nice sig image!

Hondacity, now you have to get a hwbot sig image too!

I added some stuff today, not many points but at least some golden cups!

[Hondacity]

wooooooooooooo

i can't post pics from the hospital..but kudos to mkultra and Don_Dan

wooooooooooooo

**ill get the sig this weekend

[Don_Dan]

i can't post pics from the hospital..but kudos to mkultra and Don_Dan

Thanks!

Here is the daily update:
Scores by mk-ultra and... me!

[mk-ultra]

no credits for me, it was available for the team on hwbot

can't believe i scored my first 3d point yesterday LOL
i can't pass 3dmark vantage @ 4.4ghz weirdest thing, it's not like it's that high, i'll look into this tonight or this weekend

hope you're ok hc!!!

[Hondacity]

@Don_Dan

thanks for the pics man..this thread needs it

@mkultra

woooo 3d benching is harder cpu and gpu must be stabe more tweaks

@TEAM

what is LOD tweak? LOL i'm noob

@mkultra.... LOL im working in a hospital....i work in different hospitals..luckily i they have free wifi

You got me worried too, good to know everything's fine!
The last 2 days there were no scores posted for team XS, so I didn't take pictures, but I'll do it whenever there is something worth mentioning.

The question is, who will post scores worth 50 points and push us over 7000 points again?

Concerning LOD... I guess it's time for another PM...
I will send you a PM tomorrow!

@TEAM

For nVidia cards.

Open RivaTuner>>Power User tab>>Rivatuner\nVidia\Global>>LODBiasRange, 15 is the highest value that will do anything using higher has no effect but lower can help with selecting the number you want.

After you enter the desired value in LODBiasRange go back to the tab labeled "Main". Under "Driver settings" click the expand arrow thing and select the green X with a purple background(DirectDraw and Direct 3d settings).

The slider labeled as Mipmap LOD bias adjustment is the one you want to play with. Before the changes under Power User it would only go up to 3 it should go to 15 now.

[Hondacity]

many thanks thebluemeanie1

[jcool]

Cool guys,

never knew there was a thread where you keep up with new entries

I guess I pretty much rocked wprime huh? Thanks to nn_step and his wonderful XSOS on the X5570's - no other tweaks whatsoever

Lol, I got 84 points and all are from wprime - guess I should start benching some 3D eh

Unfortunately I don't run on phase atm, or I could put up some 3D06 with 3x 4870.. the 975 ain't the best but it was/is good for 4,7 3D. Oh well, I'll try to go 3D someday.

Cheers to everyone putting up scores

[Hondacity]

welcome aboard m8,

yeah your prime sucks! LOL

you gettin a gulftown soon? 16cores? or was it 12?

[mk-ultra]

dual x5570 is brutal jcool!

i got 8th place and 5ish points for 1x 4870 in 3DMV, not bad for stock cooling , i settled for 4.5 for 3d bench. I don't think i'll be able to go higher on water and with the high temps
i wish i had some decent GPUs to bench

i received an email from corsair today, they shipped my DOM GT 1866...can't wait to get it back and to see how those "new" hyper elpida performs, then i'll put my new w3520 under dice with it.

but that chip is crazy, it hits 95/100oC on water @ 1.45vcore when encoding with x264, very bad chip for 24/7

[jcool]

welcome aboard m8,

yeah your prime sucks! LOL

you gettin a gulftown soon? 16cores? or was it 12?

Haha yeah, probably
Gulftown is 6 cores / 12 threads, and will run on both single and dual LGA1366 mobos. So depending on how many I can get, we may see some even better wprime

Are there any real tweaks for wprime BTW, apart from using the right OS? Server 08 and esp. XSOS seem to be real fast already (the Quad Opteron is on server 08). Unfortunately I can't get a gold cup for the 5570's, they are early B0 step and have no working Turbo mode (otherwise I'd get a +2 multi boost and destroy the 2 minute mark )

Oh well, some day soon

Anyway, what other benches give some decent points? Should I try for PC Mark or something? I do have an SSD etc, but IIRC PCMark is too stupid to use multipe CPU cores and GPUs right?

[mk-ultra]

most effective tweak and easiest for wprime i think is to boot into diagnostic mode

[Don_Dan]

many thanks thebluemeanie1

thebluemeanie explained it pretty good, are you interested in LOD for ATI too?

Hey jcool,
it's nice to have you aboard!
Yeah, some 3D would be very cool, you could get some serious points with your setup! Since you have an SSD you could test PCMark 05 and Vantage too. They use more cores, but I'm not sure if they use more than 4 cores. Besides WPrime, there is nothing that would profit from 8 cores unfortunately...

[Hondacity]

yeah ati LOD too thanks for the help Don_Dan (danke)
