LDBHE 3800 x2/Sapphire RD 580 results tonight

[chew*]

Ok guys just finished 3 loops of memtest before I started installing windows. Am testing all components prior atm on my RX 480 board that im way familiar with to get a baseline of what this hardware should be able to do.

Test config for baseline is as follows

sapphire RX480
LDBHE 0601 XPMW 3800 x2
2x1 gig OCZ plats ddr 400 (yah i know, Ill play with Bh-5,tccd,ballistix later but first want to test high density performance)
Seasonic s12 500watt
ATI retail X1800xt

First ill do stock elcheapo HS results then high end water(DD rbx brasstop with high perf nozzle,swiftech MCP 600,and a custom heatercore with 2 delta fans), phase will have to come later.

This should wrap up 2 threads as once I've tested the x2 3800 for those that were interested I will swap the above config into a sapphire RD580 board.

ATM i can't post pics of my board and please do not ask or pm me on how i obtained the board as you will get no answer.

Good idea to set a baseline. I await the results of both the 3800+ and RD580.

RD580 nice

chew* , plz test with online games ( CSS , BF2 ) if the board has the issue like this link below or not

Thx in advanced

[chew*]

I will test it but thats probably not gonna happen for a day or so. Need to dial the board in first and get a feel for it.

[althes]

nice chew patiently waiting

[Charloz24]

Sapphire RD580 great! Is this one you have in hand is a Pure Innovation style, like the RX480 was?

Waiting for results!

Suggestions: if you have a DFI NF4 mobo, that would be nice to compare overclock (like did you acheive better overclock, etc.)

[chew*]

This is a RD 580 which the RD means X fire. RX is single PCI X. As far as comparing it to DFI my RX 480 is just as good as the dfi nf4 board.

The only difference between the 2 is the sapphire actually boots up everyday with no issues........and is far more reliable and consistent. However if you want me to compare a board that i have to rub once kick twice install one stick of ram pray and swap 2 sticks to the other color dimm slots you can send me one for testing as i got rid of mine along time ago. Sorry for the rant, i still have a bad taste in my mouth from that experience.

Hey chew can you test how easy it is to overclock the ram? I can't seem to overclock any ram on my sapphire for the life of me. Also please test to see if a single vidcard will work on the top slot and if possible mark any performance losses. Sorry for the requests.

see if any improved from rdx200 cfdr

Ive been told there are improvements to ram Ocing and they made quite a few changes to the dimm mapping so we shall see. the video is one of my first agendas.

[situman]

I think this board will die or live by its PCI slot or lack thereof. Seriously, when people game, they want the best sound possible and lowest cpu utilization.

[chew*]

Well so far so good for the RX 480/3800 combo. Windows install was smooth as butter and its now priming at 2.5 gig stock volts stock cheap non heatpipe version heatsink. Since im trying to do this fast i will run for 1 hour dual sp 2004, this is not proof of stability but just more of a baseline. I will keep pushing it on stock cooler till it fails at stock volts. I'm not dumping volts into it on stock heatsink though sorry guys. I will reserve that for water. I would rather give you guys realistic speeds and 1.55 vcore is not realistic for 24/7 on this cooler. I will later pull my notorius 48 hour straight dual prime once everything said and done.

[situman]

ok its night time, show the R580 please

[dogsx2]

chew:Patience absolute. For me building a rig is like making wine the longer i take my time with it the better it is

Any chance of showing us the cheap bottle of wine while the good stuff is aging?

Cheap wine for you. *edit* updated with a 5 hour prime since i fell asleep. gonna turn up the heat a little now see how far she will go on air/stock volts then onto water and after that onto Rd 580.

[payne280]

are those volts right? 1.8 seems a little high for only 2.5ghz

[chew*]

are those volts right? 1.8 seems a little high for only 2.5ghz

which is why i specifically showed ati system manager in screen shot to show its stock volts and that cpu-z is bugged as far as vcore on this board...........Look at the top left and youll see its 1.35 vcore.......

[lv_dicedealer]

Thanks for the 'Boone's Farms', now for the Kendall Jackson....

[chew*]

LMAO dice. Ok so this is going slower than i planned. I may pass out on KB due to lack of sleep soon.

[situman]

kb acts as a spring, since it is spring loaded. It will cushion the fall and gently wake u up so u can finally test the rd580.

[s e t h]

i can't wait to see if the problem asus is having is only for them and not 580 in general.

Subscribed, i hope that problem is only with the Asus, i really wanted to use that Asus board, but gotta look elsewhere atm i guess.

Waiting for Sapphire to kick the crap out of Asus...

It most likely will
