[giampa]

our compliments,

great Team...

[dinos22]

thanks guys
compliments from admirable benchers are most welcome and mean a lot to us

we'll do our best to keep up with some of the teams here who are exceptionally strong. We are still trying to "make friends" with the right people regarding LN2 supply and pricing....this is our biggest hurdle and it seems that a couple of things have happened since we announced the team which look good already

[BeardyMan]

dinos, you would do that for me? lol






nah bad idea, the idea itself to see a hairy legged/(assed ) man in a tutu wich is coloured pink...ewwww

[Gautam]

Bet you're stoked to finally let that cpu of yours stretch its legs dinos. Big clockin going on here, grats guys. :thup:

[kayl]

The 77k in 2k1 singlecard 8800GTS on a 4.8GHz Kent and GPU/VRAM clocks so high the result is very very weak even if no LOD was used at all. Can you provide the screenshot with the results table so we can examine the FPS of partial tests.

For instance, Moonman had 80k+ score on a 4.56GHz C2D E6700 & 8800GTS @ 751/1053: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9239093

tiborrr its only the 320Mb card, the above score might have been a 640mb card. THe score i entered was number 6 on hwbot, so no bad for no vmods. Vmods and some more tweaks and it would have done alot better.

[tiborrr]

kayl: Yes it was 640MB card although memory doesnt play great role in 2k1, sometimes 320MB edition is even faster due to lower density of memory chips (mem controller has to address half less memory than on 640MB card) and lower latencies of memory.

Is your GPU A2 or A3 batch? With cooling abilities you guys have there you should mod that video card, tune the LOD appropriatelly and try to hit 85k+. I just wish i had variety of cooling you guys have there... :/

Must have been jolly good time anyway!

lol dude can't compare apples with oranges


gautam >> fark yeah >> just need to get more LN2 next time and run 32M tweaked so 8.xx category

[jugeen]

Dinos, now we have two Saayas. Have you had plastic surgery?

Had so much fun at the event, and like most of us i've had little chance to jump online let alone post any results. Spending this week back in Adelaide with the family so not much time for computers.
But here you go, one of our proudest moments from the weekend:

Team.AU
20,040 3DMark'06 Single Card
Pro, SLi_dog, T_M

QX6850 retail 0724 - k|ngp|n's F1
XFX 8800 Ultra retail (vGPU/vMem - no OVP mod) - kayl's semi-solid
Gigabyte X38T-DQ6 (no mods!)
Team Xtreem DDR3 (cant remember specs sorry)
CoolerMaster 1000W
Western Digital Raptor

PS - whoever said the F1 pot hold down system wouldnt ice up must be joking!

Load temps on both pots were amazing, the F1 holding the CPU at about -70C base and kayl great GPU tube a respectable -62C!
We were limited only by vid OVP, but 940MHz is crazy for DICE

I'll have much more material to post later, RL is calling me for this week

[hipro5]

It's very nice and makes you feel good too, when many benchers come together and benching, laughing, having good time......
Things to be remembered in the future for sure....
You guys did great.....

Ahhh........and dinos PLEASE replace your avatar man!....I just can't laugh all day long M8!.....I'll drop down from the chair by laughing....

[Victorshen]

[dinos22]

you are right George

getting together and benching with buddies is great

we had a good time

[scotty1991]

Congrats guys, One day when im all old like you guys and can afford more than air coolers, ill come on the hunt for team.au , you inspire me, haha, and i intend to see you all at the next sydney event i guess. Keep it up

Also, bl to pro on getting those 2900XT's stolen the day before atomic live, im sure they would have given epic results.

[youngpro]

yeah it really sucked having the cards stolen, vmodded, insulated, ready to go!

oh well insurance has given me two new cards that look like they are fairly reasonable =)

[T_M]

Following the Atomic Live event on Saturday, the team made our way in a van up to Moloko's garage for a Sunday of beers and Yorkfield fun and games

After much buggering around with the buggy chip and various configurations of cooling, for 3DMark06 testing we settled on DICE for both CPU and GPU.
We didnt tweak very much at all, as we were running out of time and people were getting restless.

Team.AU
20,211 3DMark'06 Single Card
#2 in hwbot rankings

QX9650 ES - Kayl Frozen Cascade
XFX 8800 Ultra retail (vGPU/vMem - no OVP mod) - kayl's semi-solid
Gigabyte X38T-DQ6 (no volt mods! only vcore read and a very dodgy cap replacement after i broke one off the board)
Cellshock DDR3 (cant remember specs sorry)
CoolerMaster 1000W
Western Digital Raptor

We were limited only by vid OVP and a buggy CPU/mobo combi, but 940MHz is crazy for DICE

a few might want to see this,

we accidently pushed this cap off the board trying to remove the ultra, thinking it was pci-e retention mechanism,

we needed the board then and there, so we quickly attached the cap with what we had handy, seemed to work well

[T_M]

Oops, seems i made a mistake about the cooling we used for the Yorkfield in the 20,211 score above.
Went back thru my photos and found this video of the run:

I've editted my post above to read Kayl Frozen Cascade as the CPU cooler.

Heh heh, yeah that was a bit of a "WTF? Panic!" moment. Good job on soldering it back on by the way

That's got to be one of the most ghetto mods I've ever seen and it worked great. It still cracks me up

[T_M]

Was going to attempt at catching Hipro's 21K score last night, but suffered another motherboard failure on the mosfets yet again
Now ive no DDR3 board worth using and will have to go shopping tomorrow.

unbelievable man


i will get mine soon and push it on LN2 with some new DDR3 sticks i'm getting.......looks like i'll have to bench quick before mine blows up too

lucky nothing else died

was your board modded

[T_M]

Totally stock board aside from stupid mosfet cooler (the small one with pins) removed and Crazycool also removed.
vCore read was soldered onto the rear side at the choke leg.
Failure occured while idling/posting, so load wasnt the issue.
