Hey guys,
Saturday we organized together with Kingston a live event named "Lab501 & Kingston HyperX OC Challenge". It took place in Bucharest and it was divided in two parts: first part was a press conference in which we benched live and tried to get the world record in memory frequency and the second part was a live contest between 6 Lab501 forum members which qualified online.
Hardware used:
CPU: AMD FX-8150 @ LN2 full pot
MB: ASUS Crosshair V Formula
MEM: Kingston HyperX 1GB DDR3-2544 CL9 @ LN2 full pot
VGA: ASUS ENGT430 1GB GDDR3
PSU: Corsair AX1200
Special attention goes to the RAMPot handmade by me from an old Nexus HDD mounting kit and KingpinCooling Dominance Pot. Contact must be perfect to achieve these frequency so that's why I used Gelid GC-Extreme between the IC's and RAMPot and between CPU and pot. Congrats to Gelid for making this awesome TIM !
It was not easy but after 1 week of pretesting and after 2 hours benching live with 2 camera crews from national television filming, the results started coming:
DDR3 Memory Frequency World Record: 3600MHz 10-13-13-31!
DDR3 Memory Frequency CL9 Record: 3479.6MHz 9-13-13-31!
DDR3 Memory Frequency CL8 Record: 3275MHz 8-13-13-31!
Voltages used:
CPU: 1.44v
CPU NB: 1.625v
vDDR: 1.95v
This Bulldozer can obtain some serious memory clocks when paired with the correct MB and BIOS settings. More info on HWBot submission.
Thanks to Kingston for great support and in the end some more pictures from the event!
