30-K 30-K 30-K 30-K 30-K!



Keep pushing!, and congrats on what you've achieved so far!

to have control over 3 pots is hard as hell, I feel your pain! hehe..

GREAT benching there AndreYang, that score is VERY VERY good.. take Hipro down by running 1200Mhz on those 2900xt cards!

[AndreYang]

That is really impressive, and yes that cpu is a gem.

Founded together with vince?.

Keep pushing it.

Vince also has one the same limit CPU.

Nice score buddy and really cold lol well done.

Were the cards volt modded, same with the mb modded at all?

Also i like the heat sinks on the card can u plz tell were u got them or brand cheers.

Cards mod Vcore. Mobo don't need any mod.

Cards' heat sink is kingpin's Tek9 3.0

[pumbertot]

man thats bloody awesome Andre, 30k you will hit for sure.

[blind_ripper]

Damn proud of you man!
Really awesome work Andre. 1200mhz+ should be easy on those gpu units if you feel like pushing the cards harder. I could do 1220mhz core all day 06 on just dry ice with a 2900xt(512). Mid to high 1200's on LN2. You will need that whole rig firing on all cylinders pretty soon...

seeing andre pushing these cards so easy i cant wait to play with mine this weekend , 2900xt single .

andre push those card's and take down that 30k !!!

[EXPANDER]

Good clock

[toddm27]

very impressive

[Oliver]

Vince also has one the same limit CPU.

Sounds really good .

Keep pushing it.

[EXPANDER]

DFI X38-T2R Motherboard super performance good.

Amazing Andre, you have all the best hardware now just go for the WR

at futuremark those CPU tests are just plain stupid 5.8GHz Yorkfield just 4 Fps

[NightRaven]

wow thats good going man

excellent cpu i must say! keep it up!

[binormalkilla]

Simply amazing. Great job man.
May I ask what voltage you have on the 2900xt cores? I run 1.35V for water.

[AKHandyman]

Simply amazing ... Great photos and nice work ... I don't think I'll try that anytime soon ... should have a disclaimer saying ... "Overclocking done by professional ... Noobs should not try this at home!"

[AndreYang]

2900XT 1.55V @ -100

[Fr3ak]

Very nice results Andre!

With a little tweaking, you can surely go for a WR or at least get pretty close to it.

MAN that's some voltage! How about your PCI-E frequency?

[systemviper]

that is just friggin unreal, you r a better man then i

great job

[AndreYang]

MAN that's some voltage! How about your PCI-E frequency?

I didn't adjust any PCI-E frequency. Could PCI-E frequency help score on X38 mobos? I really am not sure, but I will test again this weekend.

[zanzabar]

what kind of psu dose it take to do that

Well on mine I run 115, and if I set higher it causes instability at 950 Mhz on the core, and any lower it does as well AFAIK......I'll test again though tomorrow or the day after.
I've always found that it gives a little headroom for OCing the GPUs.

[AndreYang]

what kind of psu dose it take to do that

Thermaltake 1200W

I remember someone told me X38 PCIE doesn't help any 3D score. It's different between P35 and X38.

P35 PCIE 125+ help 3D score much, but X38 doesn't. Maybe we need to test again.

Oh I've never heard that it affected scores, but rather OC stability.....I'll test though. I can't get stable past 960 @ 1.35V in games...I freeze after about 5 minutes. I tried lowering the PCI-E to 105 and it didn't affect it, and I've tried higher too....

[divxwant]

greatest point 30k

[lukas69]

Great bench Andre

[blind_ripper]

vic push the pci-e bus , damn u should alway's push it !
X38 just hass pci-e 2.0 but the 2900Xt's are just pci-e so yeah oc'ing the pci-e bus will help u get more speed . the reasson why it helps on P35 more is that it only hass 16x 4x cf , X38 hass 16x 16x so u will see nice boost when u do oc the pci-e
