    Vince is the X5680 clocks you are reaching about all that board can handle power wise, or would higher default muli or unlocked CPU unleash the beast? That's got to be a ton of stress on the IOH running such high bclock on two CPU's + 4 cards. Don't you just wish Intel would ship you a couple unlocked high leakage Xeon's just to see what you can do?

    Interesting MOD points, never seen those used on 580 before

    The higher multi is nice for sure as it should ease up strain on the base clock, but your also running lower memory/uncore in some cases so can't just rely on higher multi. In a perfect world, I'd want to run exactly how I am now but with one or more click higher on multi

    I hear ya, but I ain't listening. I say you need unlocked uncore multipliers, two clicks up on the CPU multi for CPU test and three clicks for GT's. Isn't X5690 supposed to be in the works around 990x launch?

    You want it all but thats cool I want it all too!
    Hoping these two beaten up ES's can last me until 5690, then I have to figure how to get two of those bad boys. My 5680 cpus are pretty solid tho. I'm always staying on the low end of voltages to preserve them for as long as possible. Benching them on the SR-2 is a great challenge and I'm very fortunate to have access to the HW that I'm using and try to make the best use of it thru effort. Pushing the hardware and enjoying the challenge of running a crazy system like this, thats SR-2 benching. It's unique.
    If your a nervous bencher this rig will devour u. I've had many moments like this these past few months chuch

    It's fun to "captain" the ship. 7+ pot benching is possible with all the help from other benchers/friends that were involved with every session on this monster. Fugger, gatman, Beaux, juicy, friends etc.
    and for sure none of the benching is possible if it wasn't for the hardwork Peter/EVGA put into creating it.

    hehe I just want to see what the system is capable of. Right now low multi chips are holding it back I think. I bet that rig could keep three of you guys busy at times. I'll tell ya what though, binning these Xeon's must be a big challenge versus 980x. You can almost bin 2 980's for the price of one Xeon and yet you still have to find TWO good ones to run together.

    Leave it to sham to create a monster that is more than one man can handle huh? Wonder if Hipro could swing it. He has benched insane amount of pots solo before.

    Yah well you can still get high memory/uncore speeds the old fashioned way through hard work when stuck on a low multi. My vantage rig is running a a lot faster than the screenshots suggest, those are just ending clocks.
    This one is for cool pushing some baseclock. Its not the limit, lost the ssd at 230 when I opened the program, so I shut down.
    It's pretty much untweaked, but it's correct scaling Had a problem getting some memory sticks to be recognized in bios always showed 2040mb dont know 100% why yet.

    Man such a hard one too, totally goes against instinct. Fight fight fight and then countless litres later realize you need to take a different approach, been there done that

    The worst part is that you make it look so easy, KP.

    I think you just broke a lot of will with that screenie.

    Freakin' cat like reflexes. I still can't believe how fast KP benches. Man on a mission is the only way I can explain it.

    Sorry but what are you talking about? GT? GTS? I though they used GTX (gtx580) cards ffs!

    Nope. GT stands for game test in regards to what Hiwa was talking about. With 980x there tends to be a huge difference in what mhz you can run the game test at versus the CPU test. CPU test is the last two test so that's usually the mhz you see in the screenshots. ~CPU test mhz or lower

    woot nice clocks big guy!

    are you getting 1 thread finishing slower than the rest on your wprime runs?

    1 thing i was very surprised with SR-2, even with 6 sticks of memory it is possible to push ram high and nice timings..

    do you find vantage CPU test is actually easier than WPRIME as wprime is 24 threads and Vantage only 16? I can bench vantage CPU test higher than wprime..
