Wooooot I got some LN2 - ASUS Maximus III Extreme again -.- (Gulfi 6+ btw also)

[SoF]

Hi together,

my friends from BenchBrothers made it possible for me to play with some LN2 for 2 days. Sorry if I keep it short, will write more the other day but I have 2 days of benching and 600km driving behind me (for a new dewar which I picked up yesterday before visiting Cottbus).

Some things I do know now:
1. My Gulfi can do 6 GHZ with reasonable voltage and temps (~-120°C)
2. My RIIE has some kinda bug at -130°C and let's me wait really long after sending it to coldbug.
3. I need RIIIE badly - ROG connect FTW!
4. MIIIE and RoG-Connect just rocks - never want to miss that again in the future
5. Benching 1156 is fun for moar - just 'cuz moar Wanted to crack that 6.500s so badly and I did after 3 hours of work


6 GHZ pifast on Gulfi quickly - needs more temp and maybe other things to pass 6 GHZ wall...wouldn't run much higher whatever I tried. Had 5950 running 32m for quite some time until I freezed it into mb-cb (I call it so for the moment) another time. Eff sucked REALLY don't tell me pls



quick AM3 with card under air and no special bios - wanted to get 400k with a "solution" like that but failed - had 396k btw but freezed while screening (you know for sure...)


The BenchBrothers filled the rest of LN2 in my new dewar - next beer goes on me So today I decided NOT to test Gulftown but to have some fun with 670 ES + Asus Maximus III Extreme as I just love 1m and the hardware itself (after Cebit ). Main goal was to nail down that fermidable 6.5s which I wasn't able to crack during Cebit 2010 on stage.

1m 6560 MHZ 6.485s Win 2003 Server



Took me quite some times, almost fried the board (during CBB it froze, then it warmed up again - you know what that means ) but another run with another pot also gave me #10 2x CPU on hwbot in wprime32m (I hold the only german flag in TOP20 - think germans are not good in wprime32m haha)



To make sure I really spend the last drop of LN2 usefull I went for CPUz - short before 6.7 GHZ I ran out of LN2 and the 671X validation corrupted :p It's ok but not the best chip around - I had a lot fun last 2 days, that's what matters

hey SoF thats crazy work!

I love the fact that you keep pushing it and then again kept to push it

You won't guess how many times I said to myself: KEEP PUSHING IT, specially after seeing screens like that "easy" Deciding for 670 ES today wasn't that easy but in the end I think I choose the right hardware to have fun with not so much LN2 left



And here is the point where you know "you clocked too much"

Sweet Gotta love your attitude I also detect just a bit of enthusiasm

Glad you didnt give up

Nice oven you got there

SOF, you reminded me to play Single Card 5870(without mod and LN2) AM3...

[hiwa]

dling dling SoF great work man

[sofos1990]

Nice benching there man!

[[XC] gomeler]

Very awesome! ROG Connect is SO cool, it makes the M3E THE LGA1156 board for me. Going to join you in the LN2 fun in a few days when I beat up on my retail 670

[Monstru]

Aaaaa...what's cooking, doc?

Nice job mate ...it might be a bit of a wait....too busy with my new 980x to bust out the 670 again for a while. And I might need a different P55 board to do it

[SoF]

Sweet Gotta love your attitude I also detect just a bit of enthusiasm Glad you didnt give up

HeHe thanks!

SOF, you reminded me to play Single Card 5870(without mod and LN2) AM3...

5870 on air or water and AM3 - it's just sooo funny Saw your great 980X and waiting for some 3D from you

dling dling SoF great work man

Thanks! missed your helping hand all the time

Nice benching there man!

thx!

Wish you good luck with your retail! Yeah that ROG connect is very helpfull I just didn't liked the fact, that the bios remembers everything what you set in it. So when I freezed the system I ended up clearing CMOS, loading bios profile and then rebooting every time (that way it was also easier to boot after CB because stock voltage boots a bit earlier )

Roasty-Toasty 670 ES for lunch

Nice job mate ...it might be a bit of a wait....too busy with my new 980x to bust out the 670 again for a while. And I might need a different P55 board to do it

Then I hope you got a good 980X and your tests are going well I'll be waiting

I'll add some pictures later.

[massman]

Chris, you make me feel so bad about the efficiency of my best 1M run.

Haha, so you know how I feel when it comes to pifast - tried on 670 also but not even 14.xx ... said to myself: "I just suck at pifast" and went for wprime

Me to...just picked up some LN2 today...I'm be posting a bit later

cool!

first, nice benching there! that chip seems good, but not insane...

about the rog bios remember thing, that can be disabled in bios I believe. Isnt that the rog sync thing under tweaking? I think so..

[SoF]

I always thought there must be a way to disable that but under ROG Connect Option there is only enable or disable. I will check later where that option is - need to change my bios profiles then Thanks for the hint

[zalbard]

Nice job, man!
Glad to see you are working on various platforms. Moar megahurts all around the hwbot!
Is ROG Connect so much better than EVBot then? I see so many benchers with RIIIE these days...

[SoF]

I am not sure if it is better but as it comes with all their new extreme boards and works like charm with a laptop I think people get used to it much faster than with evbot. also iirc you need to buy evbot additionally (what isn't that easy e.g. in germany) with ROG connect you can use just any system flying around your benchroom and start the fun

Here are some pictures as promised

Everything prepared - one just need so much space for LN2 benching :p


Setup freezed


Just when reaching that temp and doing my 1m I had a looong cbb and freezed the board

[jabski]

congrats on the nice results

[Miravo]

I like your Gulf, 6 GHz, great job

[imran7]

just asking.................
is there going to be an extreme edition processor for socket 1156???????

[miahallen]

There have been rumors of "black edition" Clarkdales...but nothing confirmed yet AFAIK.

[saaya]

Is ROG Connect so much better than EVBot then?

evbot = remote control
rog connect = use your laptop/netbook/pc to monitor and adjust voltages and speeds on the bench rig in real time via a usb cable and software tool

its obviously much easier and faster to adjust settings using a mouse, keyboard and a big screen vs a small remote control with dip switches and jumpers. i wanted to something like rog connect at foxconn a while ago but they said it couldnt be done, heh...
i really like asus for proving them wrong and bringing tweaking to the next level...

very nice results sof!
insane vcore... 2v on 32nm... weeeeee and i thought mia was crazy pushing 1.9 through his goofy

[SoF]

Hey,
having it all on the screen and tracking voltages correctly remotely is the best solution you can have. the big screen and mouse control is very good to handle while refilling LN2, keeping track of the system etc. when I had issues after the ice melting to water again I saw a very unusual spike in the diagramm and I immediatly knew it's time to shut down. That maybe saved me the board at that point. After 1 hour I was ready to go again without any issues
