Now I can't wait till Tuesday!
Hope you have truck full of LN2 around the corner ...

I'm going to a event (Assembly) in Finland with ASUS next week and hopefully I'll have the pots by then for some live benching with em. We have orderd 100 liters of ln2 for the event so it should be all good

**Eightballrj** · 07-29-2007, 06:54 AM

Wow, those are gorgeous pots! Keep us posted about the event. Good luck as well!!

**Lane-k** · 07-29-2007, 07:51 AM

Wow.. reallly nice pots.. excellent... really, he have make a perfect work..

**G H Z** · 07-29-2007, 02:42 PM

Those are some beefy looking Mouspots, should work very well running without a coldplate.

**Nosfer@tu** · 07-30-2007, 12:16 AM

Now that is reall ART

I think 1300MHz for a singel card is within reach with these pots. Should be no problem really looking at how 1240MHz ran with my rev1 almost holding -80C with 1.55V. Well over 1200MHz should be no problem for Crossfire.

Wow nice..

It seems i can get the Asus Blitz, the 2 versions Extreme and formula, will go for the DDR2 versions, You can't get them Kinc?

I have enough of em

But I lack a QX6850 to run on em. QX6700 wont clock at all on those cards maxing at 4900MHz, really strange.

**MAS** · 07-30-2007, 08:31 PM

Kinc, can you get quad penryn system (of course if it will be able to hit 5GHz) to run 2x2900XT ? we're are waiting for >=26100 '06 score

My ASUS Blitz Formula, is not as overclockable as my other two ABIT AW9D-MAX mobos.....I mean that with the AW9D I can bench on ait 3Ds at ~4060MHz and with the Formula maxed out at ~4000MHz.... BUT Formula IS dumn fast, VERY easy to use, it boots EVERY TIME no matter what and I have enjoed it since I got it.....I'll give it a try under LN2 to see how it will react...

**ent** · 07-31-2007, 01:23 AM

Great job Kinc!

hipro >> does the lower clocks on Blitz are caused by bad Vcore section?

What was the CPu you have use.. ?

No I don't think so coz I've tested many VCore feeds.....

X6800 and QX6700....

QX6700 does on AW9D ~4000MHz 3Ds and on Blitz ~3900MHz....Though on Blitz it's MUCH easier to overclock/play with it....

**Lane-k** · 07-31-2007, 01:49 AM

ok.. strange.. it seems KInc is right with that, the "old" quad don't overlock same with it..perhaps QX6850 will go better with it.. but i can think to the bios imaturity.. I plan take one when i can..

The same thing for me with blitz compared to p5w64 on air. I had a difference of 100MHz. But as you say the perf is very good, a tight perf card indeed

And crosslinx works very good!

**Lane-k** · 07-31-2007, 08:14 PM

I can't remember what is the Cfire PCI ex on the Blitz?.. 2x 16x or 2x 8?

**blind_ripper** · 07-31-2007, 09:02 PM

2X8 would be great to see what 2X16 would give

**Kinc** · 07-31-2007, 11:03 PM

2x8, limiting the perf. indeed (but far better than 16/4). X38 samples is around the corner, will be very interesting to test with 2x16 PCIE2.0.

**Lane-k** · 07-31-2007, 11:25 PM

yes.. specially cause it seems the 2900 have been designed for PCIEX 2.0.. even if the card is not only designed for, the 8pin connectors and the increase when you up the PCI exrpress frequencies show they will really scale with PCI ex2.0

Agreed! Must see 2x x16 pci-e scores!

**binormalkilla** · 08-02-2007, 12:49 PM

What are you guys using in those screenshots to OC? Is that RivaTuner?

If u refering to the screenshots on page 1 , thats Atitool 0.27

hi

can you tell me how you oced the cards in Crossfire mode?

because i have got also two HD2900xt @ my Q6600

and i can not find out how to clock the grafik cards at crossfire mode

here some 3dmark06 benchs from me

Intel Q6600 @ 3407 MHZ
Asus P5B Deluxe
2x1 GB Gskill @ DDR2 946 5-5-5-15-2T

Treiber ATI 7.7 Final
Singel HD2900xt @ Default:

3DMark Score 12440 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 4647 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 5245 Marks
CPU Score 5152 Marks

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2628725

2x HD2900xt @ Crossfire Mode @ Default:

3DMark Score 17181 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 7011 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 7760 Marks
CPU Score 4932 Marks

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2628585

And here a comparison link where you can see that the grafik cards at Crossfire mode at different CPU Speeds

Q6600 @ 2,4 GHZ vs 3,0 GHZ vs 3,4 GHZ

You need to flash the cards with new BIOSes for CF overclocking to work right now.

is there anywhere the files or the tool/instruction to to this ?

because i think under water 850/1000 would be no problem for the cards
