205k 3DMark03 with 6990's

[massman]

As I posted in the thread over at hwbot, last saturday the Mad Shrimps headed over to a local shop to host a local overclocking demonstration. Eight pc enthusiasts, who knew nothing about overclocking, were invited and were given a quick intro to X58 overclocking. After the intro, the gang spend a couple hours trying to push their system to get the highest Vantage Entry score. Pretty cool to see people who know nothing about overclocking still reach ~ 4.6GHz on air Vantage stable!

The second part of the day was a demonstration of extreme overclocking; explaining how insulation works, what to pay attention to, etc. All in all a very, very fun day! It's particularly ego-boosting to have people actually listening to your oc-jibberish

Oh, right. The purpose of this OC demo was not to have the best possible score (6990's tested the first time at the event) or being super-efficient, but just having a functional setup and showing the performance of a highly overclocked CPU.

Anyway,

SETUP:

- Intel Core i7 990X
- GIGABYTE X58A-OC
- 2x AMD Radeon HD 6990 (1x GIGABYTE, 1x Sapphire)
- Corsair Dominator GTX2
- Corsair AX1200
- Samsung HDD

THANKS TO:

- GIGABYTE for all the hardware and the LN2
- TONES for hosting this nice event for the second time
- LEEGHOOFD for trusting me with the GTX2 and PSU

SCORE:

That is insane. To think that only 7 years ago we weren't able to brake 20k mark.

Good job

Nice event! I think there should be more of these, it's a great way to get more people interested in overclocking. And it's good fun.
