E8500 at Mini-Cascade - EVGA 790i & 9800GX2 Stock : 110K on my fav game :-)

[Pedro Rocha]

I've been quite busy in my work, with no time at all to play my favorite game..

Bought a E8500 Q746A that seems to have some potential and specially don't have cold boot like the other I tested...

This quick run have been done in my good old Mini-Cascade for very pratical reason: the rotary cascade makes to much noise to bench a night and wake my wife and neighbours

Setup :
- E8500 Q746A cooled by the Mini-Cascade (-90ºC evap)
- EVGA 790i Ultra SLI stock
- EVGA 9800GX2 Stock
- Cellshock Blue "Pedro Rocha Edition" - thanks Saaya
- Silverstone 1200W
- Some old school tweaking


Here is a photo:



First let's how far it goes in SuperPI 1M at -90ºC



5.500Mhz - not bad, this CPU seems to have potential


Now the first run in My Favorite Game - with very low OC on the 9800GX2: only 750MHz GPU's - 1140MHz Memory ..

Here is the result:

Near 109K for start ..not bad


Hope I can find some time tomorrow to put on the big rotary cascade to see how far it can go in 2001 and 2005 ..
