3DMark01 Madness by Hollywood & der8auer (Hall of Fame inside!)

[der8auer]

Hello

Yesterday i met with Hollywood in south-west Germany for some 3Dmark2001 action Our goal was to gain two good SLI scores and maybe also Single-GPU.

Hardware:

2x E8600 (Q822A435)
4x Rampage Extreme
6x MSI GTX275 Lightning (vMEM, OCP, vGPU Mod)

90l LN2







First we set up a system using my best RE and my E8600 (pretested here: Link). I don't know what happened but i coudln't boot the system. The LCD poster just showed "PWR_OFF". So i had to use another RE which was completely untested. Unfortunately it was crappier than i expected

Anyway the System was running a bit later. We had no Software-Tool to raise the Voltage of two Lightning GPUs so we had to do the hardmods. Sadly we coudln't go over 1,35vGPU. Everything else above straightly caused OVP. But it was enough for 975 MHz on both cards.

Result:

12th on HWBot: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/2102137_

Link to the Screenshot of the Result


Later we tried to get a good single GPU result. CPU passed 01 at 6411 MHz and the GPU at 1350MHz. Unfortunately we coudln't do a complete run because we were unable to boot after a bit Anyway we know the components are capable and we can maybe do the run in a bit

And finally some impressions of the day































Maybe the Board didn't like the name of the settings?
