Summer is over now and it is time to start benching again

This summer was really nice, cause I had three OC events. One here with Russian overclockers and AOCC 2008 in Hong Kong and MSI OC event in Amsterdam.

I didn't have much time to prepare before these runs, so they are my base scores for this autumn.

I bought this E8600 from local shop and I wasn't too lucky, but not the most unluckiest either

Setup:
ASUS Rampage Extreme
ASUS 4870X2 CF
Gigabyte/ Club3D 4870 CF
G.Skill DDR3 2GB HZ (6-6-5-15)
Thermaltake Thoughpower 1200W

First I tested, what this setup can do on aircooling. CPU did 4.8GHz with 1.46V (real) and cards ~852/1050

Setup on aircooling:


I got 129K in 03

Then some pictures:






Then we have the scores:

This chip did 1M at 6.4GHz easily:

Aquamark was bit better with dual 4870 than 4870X2 if we look the MHz efficinecy:



01 was fun to watch, (except Nature) with dual 4870. There is no tweaks at all, cause there was no point in that (850/1050 used):


3Dmark03 was nice to test with these new cards. No bugged scores here (850/1050 used):




05 is one of my favorites, but this time I had some troubles with GPU/mem clocks (800/970 used):




I had only 20L of LN2, so I had to make it quick. I had to test all 2D and 3D tests, so there was not too much time to bench one particular benchmark.

Now I will start to tune this setup and try some different cooling for the vgas soon

Thanks for checking this thread!
