HW we used



Some DICE action for 3dmark


Link to ORB http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8863345



Some LN2 action for SuperPI.


that's when the cold bug kicks in.

We were unable to finish 3dmark2001 with LN2 on proc. Also LN2 on GPU didn't gain anything, we couldn't even complete at freqs we did with DICE.

I tried to run some 3dmark05 benchies and stumble on a strange problem. First part of the first test loops again and again and again. No freezing or reboots, just loops. It helps if I lower the clock considerably, but that's not the think i would like to do. I think it could be some driver issues, anybody with a same problem?

Wow great! Congrats, that is really nice!

Wasn't the clawhammer's based fx's cold bug free ? Or it's the x1800 cold bug what are you referring to ? I don't understand too good...

[zbogorgon]

the both act wierd at low temps, -85 and less.
If i cooled proc at less than -90 i got lockups, optimal is -85, i got proc at -110, but i couldn't even get to bios, so i had to wait .

Hmm, strange I thought ClawHammers 130nm don't have cold problems at all.

But 47K is nice score

I second that, that's why i asked... It's the first claw with cold bug i see... Maybe i haven't seen enough...

[zbogorgon]

i don't know, but i am quite sure that it has problems with low temps, i tried more than an hour and everytime i got to low with temps, superpi failed, wins locked and so on. I got bench stable with DI at cca 3450, when temp droped below 95 it blue screend immediately. And i got well insulated, when i got tired with LN2 i just put in some DI and continue.

Looks very good. Has anyone broke 50K with one of these cards yet...?

[Calderbrae]

Man, just like that and you are on the ORB front page.

:thumbsup:

[ReD.SkY]

Amazing!

[afireinside]

Awesome stuff Congrats on the nice scores!

I have a clawhammer that cold bugs as well. It can't break 340 htt on dice. With my original crappy tube I had 345 htt but it warmed up to fast. Very odd. I think all A64s cold bug to an extent.

[ugp]

I think everything will Cold Bug to a point...lol..just some more than others...

[JamMasterJay]

Awesome! Keep on Clocking

[Fixxxer]

Awesome!

Nice clocks!!

[Xenom0rph]

Nice to see someone OCing a FX55, everybody uses FX57 nowadays :/

BTW awesome results

[G H Z]

Nice runs

[SIOUX]

Very nice GPU clocks

[MTP04]

Real nice work there zbogorgon I havent seen 900+ on the core 3D stable before.

I hope to put a FX55 clawhammer under dice later on today aswell, hope she likes the cold

[nachthymnen]

Congratulations for the results!!!
Impressive 3d2k1 run and impressive GPU freq.
Also very good memory.

[UTF Nightmare]

Congratz man.
Memory is indeed nice clocking Only Trfc 16... could be better. But nice score and MHz

[zbogorgon]

trfc really needs to be 16, if i set it to 15 i can't get pas 250, at 14 won't even boot.

[UTF Nightmare]

Yes I know what you mean. If you set it only 1T lower it wil cost you like 5MHz or something.

I reached this on a lower Freq as most tight timings with these sticks

[nachthymnen]

trfc really needs to be 16, if i set it to 15 i can't get pas 250, at 14 won't even boot.

trfc 16 @ 278MHz I think it's good...my OCZ VX stop @ 271MHz
Very good memory and very good SPI time.

[UTF Nightmare]

trfc 16 @ 278MHz I think it's good...my OCZ VX stop @ 271MHz
Very good memory and very good SPI time.

Can reach 280 @ Trfc 12 here @ 3,77V

[zbogorgon]

i have here some BH6 mems, 2x256, with proper cold outside (like in finland they could reach 290.
timings: 2-2-3-2-7-13-2-2-1-2-3684-1-enb-increase-0-7-3-6-Fastest-4.5-16-enb-16-7-dis , voltage at 3.80v
i didn't have tweaker at that time
