RIIIE X58 + HyperX - Finally I get in 3GHz club!!!

[SF3D]

Hi all!

Was having difficulties in other benchmarks etc, so I decided to test this HyperX kit from Kingston. Usually people test memory on P55 or P67 platforms, but why not give a try for X58



I used ASUS Rampage III Extreme and Intel Core i7 990X cpu for this small session.
Memory was cooled with ln2 and there was no pot around them.. just some aluminium foil and paper Temperature was unknown for the same reason.

Here is random 1M run with super latencies :


Here is the end result:

It was fun at least!

Thanks Kingston! Thanks Jimm's PC store and ASUS!
Thanks Asmola for the help!

This deserves some pics of the setup! I want to see a tinfoil LN2 container!
Great RAM clocks, good job!

[Hondacity]

x58 must have been tougher than lynfield..grats!

[chispy]

Nice hardware!

[runmc]

Are you selling the ram pots?

Short video coming later. There you can see it.

It is, but not that much really. There must be some other resons why people use other platforms.

Nice hardware!

Yes it is. Nice hardware allows you to do nice things
Surprised?

Are you selling the ram pots?

I don't know are you serious or not, but answer is no. I just sell my CPU pots which does not fit on memory, if I am correct

Well, I could send people a few pieces of toiletpaper and aluminium foil and make some money out of it, but then again...

It was Xtreme overclocking in every dimension!! First we "wasted" almost 20L of ln2 on 3D tests but that result compensated our bad luck.

Dont remember the name of that thermalpaste we used with DCII 580, but i believe we wont try it again..

But after all, it was good learning for me!

[Leeghoofd]

Nice work there lads !! easier to clock with 1Gb dimms then with 2Gb version I presume ?

Thanks for all the help Atso! Well, you really saw the downside of overclocking.. when things does not work, they don't

At least we put something out

Thanks! I am not sure does it have any effect.. maybe. I hope I can try again with better equipments.

Sitä samaa sinnekkin!

nice clockage dude
charles will ban you if you dont put aida64 bandwidth shot LOL

lol odakle iskopa Zadar

[PatRaceTin]

wow 3Ghz for X58 not easy

[_mat_]

Just wow! Didn't think this would be possible with X58 ... not even close!

[SonDa5]

vtt must have been up there.

Does i990x give more options to lower nb speed ratios than non xtreme intel cpus?

Thanks Dino!

Maybe you can translate your conversation

wow 3Ghz for X58 not easy

Well, I think this was clear evidence, that people have not tried it before

Just wow! Didn't think this would be possible with X58 ... not even close!

Thanks Matthias! Hehe..now we know more

vtt must have been up there.

VTT was 1.55V cause I can not kill these CPU's.

Vmem was 1.95V just in case and that was it

very nice results !

one cool thing on x58 is that you are not bclk limited like you can be on p55.

[D0m|nat0R]

Good job SF3D and HyperX

lol Petri he is being a bit cryptic dude i think its a joke about some nightclub in city of Zadar in Croatia, not really sure myself LOL

Thanks! Your CL8 result is one of the most impressive ones there have ever been

Good job SF3D and HyperX

Thanks!

Ok.. interesting. I hope he did not see me on our eurotrip last summer
