AMD Phenom II and Dragon Preview Event - Invite Only

[dng]

are you familiar with where the event is held in relation to the chicago ogilvie metra station is? google maps it looked like it was just 10-15blocks east and 5 blocks north of the station so i figured we'd just grab a cab. does that sound reasonable? thanks

yea take a cab. i don't know if there's an el stop near this place. i'm taking a cab from union station too. it's about 10-15 minutes from where i work, so probably less than that from ogiivie station. see everyone there if you're going to the chicago event.

Well we are sitting at the bar at ogilvie, probably grab a cab in an hour or so and head over

Ahhhh told my friend to guess 4.0 max air oc and he won a 4870x2 outta it I only got a 4850

Wow, dang that must've felt like a rip for you. Congrats to your friend though, free 4870X2... I would kill for that Still, I would settle for a free 4850

Anything interesting you are allowed to inform us about from the event? Or was it similar to the one in San Fran?

6.0 crisis run on ln2 was new high, I guessed that too but cpuldn win again. 1.56 volts for 4.0ghz on air like 1.9 v on 6ghz ln2 run. No temps recorded from windows

Ooh, that's the first figure I've read regarding voltage and OC'd PII. So it's about a 16% increase from stock voltages for a 33% overclock if my maths are correct (1.56v/1.344v = 1.16, 4/3 = 1.33). Anyone have any idea what voltages would be safe for PII or can draw any voltage range comparisons from PI and PII?

I'm guessing that 'cause an Intel Q9550 has stock volts at ~1.21v and an acceptable max voltage of ~1.47v, that the PII will have a voltage range of maybe 1.344(stock) to ~1.6v? All guessimation!

[crazydiamond]

Yes they said feel free to talk about what we saw so I give u voltages. And I believe I overheard an amd guy saying the air runs were well within pII's limits

Edit to add u gotta member they onlyhd 30 min. To get
max oc outta 5 random cpu's so they were far from tweaked n fine tuned

And to add (might be made up might have heard it from the horses mouth ) something like around 3.5ghz 24/7 with stock 1.35 vcore on air

of course. boston is much easier to navigate...
anyone else attending boston?
i'd never even heard of this place before. but thenagain i don't spend much time in the city.

well I didn't get an email back but not all news is sour, I may be going with someone else to the boston event. More info to come.

Movieman hopes to be going.

I also have never heard of this place, but then again I spend most of time around the bars when I go into Boston, so my range is not too broad.

ill be attending the boston event... see ya guys there.

yeah im not to familiar with that area of Boston, i just know where fenway park is.

u guys meeting up earlier anywhere?

did the crysis bench loop on 6.0ghz or single run?

[dinos22]

did the crysis bench loop on 6.0ghz or single run?

was a demo already run?

[crazydiamond]

Crisis bench needed 2 make 2 passed in a row to be 'stable'

[G0ldBr1ck]

was a demo already run?

I assume thats where this came from...........

6.0 crisis run on ln2 was new high, I guessed that too but cpuldn win again. 1.56 volts for 4.0ghz on air like 1.9 v on 6ghz ln2 run. No temps recorded from windows

was a higher than 4.0ghz oc attempted on air or was 4.0 the max they could get?

[tbone8ty]

here is a video of where the event in oston is going to be at.

looks like a cool building lots of windows...green themed!

They coukda got higher on air IMO but that was highest they got in the time frame. Not much higher but they really only had like 5 min. With each chip and they had to make 2 crisis passes

[Daveburt714]

Hey CrazyD, Gratz on the show and the 4850!

Did you pay any attention to what Mobo's they were using?

[crazydiamond]

Gigabytes and reference amd boards

who did this bench you?

[chew*]

i'll be going dino, you can pick my brain saturday morning

[dinos22]

i'll be going dino, you can pick my brain saturday morning

nah man
i will be picking my own brain on Sunday (your Saturday)



i want to know NOW heheheh

[crazydiamond]

I didn't run the benchs. The 2 finns and 2 guys from amd had friendly comp. Dino read the thread u seem lost

[dinos22]

just a bit lost with your posts atm

[TheBlueChanell]

I am on the train on the way home from the Chicago event on my buddies iPhone. The guys from team Finland where able to run the crysis bencark loop succesfully @ 6ghz and complete a session of 3Dmark.

The event was awesome and it was cool to chat with all of the AMD guys.

I'd like to thank Simon and XS foe the oppourtunity to attend. I will post more later when I have a in and it's easier to type.

I won a Phenom 2 and my buddy won a killed nic.

[dinos22]

did you guys see any 3DMARK scores damn it hgeheheh

[G0ldBr1ck]

congratulations on the PHII Mattskees, and thanks for the info.

[crazydiamond]

Sorry dino I'm on my bb storm keepin it short. Its same setup as san fran details pretty much except the finns got to clock at chicago preview as well as amd guys.
