All depends on if my fairy godmother is good to me and feels i'm deserving.

I just reached into my pockets and all I pulled out was lint.

Yeah, those cards are insanely expensive...

I hope you get two cards when the first supply shortage is over, you absolutely deserve it!

Thanks for the PM by the way.

Weird, the only possible difference can still be LOD, have you tested different values yet? Might be worth a try.

johnksss' runs are great, 16th 3D Vantage global on chilled water is not easy.
I just compared his runs to the ones around his scores, it's so extremely tweaked.... He can easily make up for an extreme lack in MHz by some other tweak. I wonder how he's doing that.
I have to admit, my experience with 3D Vantage is rather limited, the only time I ran it was on my laptop, and while I'm holding every WR for the 9200 GS, someone managed to beat me in this benchmark with lower CPU and memory MHz....





Could also be related to PCIe clock. Have you tried higher clocks, 110-112MHz seems to be the sweetspot from what I read, though I'm sure the i7 guys are able to help you out.

Winter will hit Europe soon, just get your PC outside and solve your cooling issues!

if its lod...then i'm gonna try it ...i think i found a good utility for it

that vantage gold on the 8800gts320 must be mine...bwahahhaha *wicked laugh*

Have fun and make some great runs!

You guys might want to check this out, upcoming changes at hwbot.

i think i like the changes

i pray your moma be good to ya

[thijs]

strange, been fiddling with the B2B settings on the evga E760 for a bit now, but dont get any of the changes everyone is on about?
Or is the 'auto' on the Classified good already? tried 4, trying 6 now, but i thought lower was better..

//edit so 6 was 0.5sec slower, trying 3 now

[TheGoat Eater]

getting a classy 760 , P6t Deluxe, and x58 platinum platinum to blow up (LOL) ... my w3570 should be back in my hands tomorrow - testing the i5 750 still... blew up another P55 Board (UGH) so I think I will step up to GD80 this time

[Hondacity]

tge thats awesome get some good superpi 1m number @5.4ghz

and yeah better superpi32m

[thijs]

so, LN2 is almost gone, was not really huge succes, but ok. first time LN2 -> was fun!!!
only had 15L , and i think 1/2 liters were gone within a few min due to the fact the dewar was cooling down,
dewar is ok though, so that's good.

I had high hopes that the classified would boot higher then -80 / - 90 , but still same problem with last time benching, it has coldboot at -30 :S
it's really cpu / mobo combination, i know the cpu has coldbug of -115 , and previous cpu on current classified didnt had any low coldboot issues.

Turbo did work thank god, so i could bench a bit. but i had to run dual channel, think the low temps had odd effects on the IMC, because i saw no frost or what ever near the channels.
And i couldnt use memset either, because it didnt found the 2GB that was missing. so had to run with poor timings.

BUT! great fun anyhow, had a 5.4ghz 32M run, 06.53sec but the tube was to cold and the cpu had nothing to do anymore after the run, so i got a BSOD

Hope my results do yield some points!

Hey guys,

My new toy arrived and I wanna share some pics (if you guys don't mind), hope to bring some points with this bench station I'm building for the Ln2 tests:


1900g Ryba Rev4 LN2Pot


The station is not ready yet but here are some specs and pics:

Tech Station Specs:
HSPC Tech Station
Dell UltraSharp E153FPb 15" LCD
Ikea computer desk w/ wheels
PSU1_OCZ ProXStream 1000W SLI (f/ CPU)
PSU2_OCZ 520W PowerStream (f/ VGA)
PSU3_Bentec 250W (f/ pumps and fans)
Pump_1 MCP655 (vga loop)
Pump_2 TTP500 (NB loop)
Rad_1 Thermochill PA 120.3 (vga loop)
Rad_2 Swiftech MCR220 (NB loop)
DD 4870x2 blocks (x2)

* Rear view






Hope to move this station outside and bench with temps around 0oC

[Hondacity]

woot nice setup man...

we love the pictures... post em here

[thijs]

Submitted my results, although the cpu-z submit seems to have gone wrong, contacted massman about it.
the pi_fast, i dont know, perhaps the dual channel really made it alot lower? the xp wasnt to great anymore, quite some bsods, so times must have gotten worse anyway.
but this is really mad, ill have to redo those

[billdavis]

so far my i7 960 is benching 5012mhz on SS

SS and scores will follow

[Leeghoofd]

Nice Joriber go for them gold cups with that LN2 man !! Hopeing to get to Ryba aswell for such a pot...

[emertX]

Come on!
Keep pushing man!

Did I mention the word "Aquamark" to you already?

5GHz on SS is looking good, how high can you run Uncore?
This CPU might be worth a try under dice or even LN2.

Keep the pics coming! This thread is the perfect place to post them!

I saw you made it into sub-7 32M which is great!

Did you mess with RTLs yet?

[thijs]

That was the entire problem, somehow i could only run dual channel, 1 channel just stopped working, dont know why, perhaps some moisture or what ever?
and due to the fact channel 'A' didnt work, i couldnt start memset / cputweaker, argh. im sure i could have tweaked quite some seconds of that score.

O well...

Can you tweak RTLs in Windows? I thought you have to set them in BIOS, I'm not sure though, I just read Raja's article...

Did you get channel 'A' back after drying out the system?
Losing a channel can also be a problem of getting your IMC under cold.

[thijs]

i could have done it in the bios aswell yeah, but i was affraid i'd get a hardboot if i swap memory settings.
havent assembled the system, it's laying to rest atm. and yeah, suppose it's the cold, but that's not good if i get limited by that.

did you tighten the pot too hard...i had the same problem...also check the pins inside...the cpu socket...

dude i pm you regarding coldbug..i'm not sure if you are already doing it but..please consider... no coldbug no fear

[billdavis]

ran out of time submitted some 05 and 06 but my 03 was bugged and vantage wasnt playing nice

here is how nice my i7 960 is

I saw your pm, thanks, i will look in to that. regarding the tightening, it was fairly tight yeah, always a bit worry that it's making lowzy contact, but perhaps that was it

it's just so frustrating the low coldboot problem, i already made a post @ evga, hopefully shamino will see it, and he can enlight me regarding this. it's mostly with 950 / W3540 from what i've seen.

[Linuxfan]

Yesterday I tried overclocking an i7 950 ES chip, that I recently picked up, it did horribly on the cascade.
Running on an Evga Micro-SLI motherboard with plenty of chipset airflow and voltage settings that should have made it stable at 4.9ghz with HT.
It ran 4.7ghz no HT for 05, wouldn't even run at 4.6ghz in 06 without or with HT, and I managed a 4.8ghz run in 3dm01.
Do you guys figure it is a really bad chip?
I turned on the mode 2 extreme cooling setting in the Evga bios... What does that do? I read that its supposed to fix the coldboot issue. How?
Wprime results weren't good either, I think I was able to get 4.7ghz or 4.65ghz with HT with a result of 5.3s...
Why does the CPU show the varible multiplyer, but the multi never changed? I had Cxx and turbo and EHS disabled....
Here is my 05 run with 4.7ghz... http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=924799

Would I be better off running a new retail i7 960 with a Rampage II Gene mobo?

Keep on pushing thijs!

dude i think most es cpus are a hit and miss...most suck unfortunately...

billdavis

dude awesome cpu...thats is potent ....for my 3570 to reach that..i need like 1.55v LOL

thijs

one time my mount was so bad.....i would FF with just 1dimm occupied....it was frustrating. go easy on the mounting...
when you mount try don't overtighten..just make sure the tim is firmly compressed ...twist lightly to remove air in between..i'm sure you know that..i'm just saying it

have fun guys...

Figures...
Time to grab another CPU!
I might have been able to do better with the retail i7 920 D0 I had yesterday if I could have gotten over 222FSB with the Evga Micro-SLI board.....
Didn't have much time yesterday so I was afraid to test it and get worse results....

If your benching 3d.......I could lend you a board and cpu legally.......I think you'll be hard pressed to find a 920 DO like this + it likes cold. I also have a board that has less of a bclk wall than the UD4P.....unless you feel like modding.

help me with the daily update

team.xs

yesterday big points came from some benchers....sorry i didn't get a screen shot...i forgot the benchers name too..crap

today..woooo we got some good numbers too pushing total points to 7783.....almost 78xx WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

thijs 5.3xx ghz for superpi32m wow..just awesome man...

no screenshots from me.......laptop sucks

The clocks are really nice, but remember to use version 1.55 of WPrime when you submit to hwbot!

Here is a screen shot:



We have contributions by thijs and billdavis with their i7s under cold, PcCI2iminal for the country cup and TheGoat Eater's Sempron 140 session.

Another score I saw yesterday was made by jakethesnake011, he has a nice collection of GPUs, 4870X2, GTX 295, HD 5870 and 5970.

We might actually reach 7800 points until the end of the year!
