CES 2010 Benching

[Gautam]

Finally got to make it to CES, big thanks to Fugger for putting on such a great event. Got some benches here that went down and made it to my USB stick.

Don't be deceived, I wasn't actually benching Clarkbar. Cpt. Planet was pouring, Shamino was doing everything else, and I was standing there complaining about stuff and bashing Clarkbar. k|ngp|n's Venom container works as awesome on this setup as it does on Phenom II, the temp stayed stuck at about -185.4, wouldn't budge.

Then we went to chill at Fugger's (and by "chill" I mean chug monsters and bench), and naturally discovered that the Clarkbar had died, as all of them seem to. (I'd use extreme caution with vcore above ~1.8v unless you're below -150, even if it's just for a minute) So due to that unfortunate turn of events, we switched to Mikeguava's E759 X58 Classified and Core i7 975 courtesy of Fugger. Ditched the wussy heatsinks for LN2 on a single 5870. Mikeguava, Shamino and I beat on the rig for a while and ended up with some good results. The MSI 5870 is a screamer, though seems to have memory throttling issues even past 1220, so we left that alone, which was severely detrimental to vantage and 03...:-/ I cold bugged the gpu while trying to save a screenshot of the single 05, so just imagine it in your head. Same as 03 but two clicks higher on CPU.

Dual GPU 3DMark05 49593 - Core i3 540 @ 6516MHz + 2x 5870 @ 1036/1224

Single GPU 3DMark05 46018 - Core i7 975 @ 5660MHz + 1x 5870 @ 1350/1200

Single GPU 3DMark03 108643 - Core i7 975 @ 5597MHz + 1x 5870 @ 1360/1200

Really hope I can make it again next year, between meeting up with everyone, trying to shave down my lap times, and the benching, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Impressive bclk on Clarkbar Sounds like everyone will need half a dozen each to run the HWBot suite.

That 975 is a beast isn't it LOL - were you using the GTX for the mem? what mem speeds were you running - I ran that GTX up to and past 2200 C7... looks like we were probably using too little voltage at the event for the speeds? I was very nervous about killign the cpu so I played it safe - looks like you went all out on the volts LOL

What's the secret of 1600mV limit on AfterBurner?

[ViViD]

Wow Great Work
280 For Bench Is Too High

Break Some WR m8

[thijs]

the MSI 5870, was that a lightning? :O

[BenchZowner]

What's the secret of 1600mV limit on AfterBurner?

I think it's not possible, but if you set "Unofficial Overclocking" to enabled, and use another application to apply the Vgpu, if you open Afterburner it reads the proper value, but you can't make any adjustments.
Hopefully I'm wrong here, one of them folks should clarify that

[emertX]

I wanna know that too!

[Hazzan]

wow looking soo good ..........

[chispy]

Great Numbers Big G , sorry to hear about your clarkbar dying so fast ,
good benching there bro , PUREly done

[aslanwas]

nice job, thx for sharing

[hiwa]

who want break 50k with 2 gpu ?

Great work for sure guys and very nice 975 there, seems you guys had a lot of fun

[Gautam]

50k was indeed the goal, still out there for the taking though

That 975 is a beast isn't it LOL - were you using the GTX for the mem? what mem speeds were you running - I ran that GTX up to and past 2200 C7... looks like we were probably using too little voltage at the event for the speeds?

Yeah it's a sweet chip. I don't think 1.6-1.7V is dangerous at all. Often times it doesn't help though. For the record, Mike set the vcore that time, not me. (Though I was thinking of going higher...) No GTX's, just recently RMAed 2000C7 GT's...around 2200C7 mostly yeah.

the MSI 5870, was that a lightning? :O

Normal retail storebought 5870. Regarding the vgpu I'll comment later if I can...

Great Numbers Big G , sorry to hear about your clarkbar dying so fast ,
good benching there bro , PUREly done

Peter's chip and he did all the ocing on the cpu front

[youngpro]

really impressive results on this platform, i bet your dominating the track gautam, id guess you are fairly light and you would be flying!

[Gautam]

No way man, I sucked pretty bad, even more so since I have the "weight advantage" lol. It's like with my benching, I was trying to go tighter than the car could handle, sliding everywhere.

[LardArse]

Peter's chip and he did all the ocing on the cpu front

right... blame it on poor petiee....

please bring Kingpin's gift, the venomous pot over

[Gautam]

Wha? Just establishing that it remained in the "right hands"

[3oh6]

you knicked the Venom...nice

[Oliver]

wicked work, the team shows how its meant to be pushed

[Harshal]

I really need to make it to Vegas next time to enjoy the NY OC session

@ Guruji, good to see you kickin it hard for your age :P

[Planet]

Was alot of fun benchign with you Gautam and Peter. Wish we had some more time and more chips though certainly would have broken 50k.

[Gautam]

you knicked the Venom...nice

Yeah lets all give the G more crap shall we I think Fugger has the Venom for the record, that pilfering bastage.

[Afrokalle]

Nice benching guys

seems like you rock CES i wish i could be there to see how you kicking the stuff...

Sweet i7 975 you have there
