NEW AMD SuperPi 1m WR LIVE at G|C Germany!!!

[SoF]

You just made into Slovenia's most read overclocking website:

Congrats SoF!

thanks for the article and gratulations

[jonspd]

nice guess its about time to upgrade my amd rig again

[Eldonko]

GJ guys, congrats!

[CntdwnToExtn]

giggity giggity!
very nice. AMD pawa

[FatAlbert]

SoF, it's your photo ?



I've always thought you look like that





jk

[SoF]

haha yeah but the look is anyhow slightly the same if you ask me

[Mechromancer]

I can't wait until you get your hands on a 45nm, SoF.

[knopflerbruce]

that's insane, hopefully 45nm phenoms will be like this consistantly.

The sad thing is, a stock e8400 will easily spank that pi score. Before you guys go bashing me about this comment, I'm running on an am2 dual system currently and intend to upgrade to deneb because it's much cheaper than going with yorkfield and quite frankly nehalem has not impressed me at all for desktop use. And yes I know pi is not representative of real world performance, just making the comment because I find it both funny and kinda depressing at the same time

My superpi-record is with a lousy E2140 And I've OC'ed... a few AMD chips in the past.

...but I think it's got plenty of charm to have those 20s runs The Intel chips stop before they've started

How much better did this 9950 do on the SB750 board compared to SB600?

Super pi is not all , when will we see a fast Intel system with 4xgfx cards?

[Particle]

^ or fast at SPEC rendering, apparently.

Exactly

Wow great OC. Congrats

First of all: Congratulation for this wr. If I was you I would have been given up at a certain point. But you didn´t and took the wr. I´m proud that I had the chance to be part of it.

Last day was fun, we had Foxconn Avenger with E8600 2x4870 LN2 ~5.7gig and on the other side A79-S with 9950 4x4850 running 03 "against" each other.
Intel 83401 - AMD 83447 or sth like that. It was 46 points ahead for the AMD rig that is what I remember for sure. I really was like

Yes, that was quite funny.

I was running FOXCONN Avenger (P45) @ 570x10, memory 5:6 with 6-5-5 and 2x 4870 stock cooled. I got abbout 83.3k in 2k3 in vista and SoF managed to get 83.35k in 2k3 with 4x 4850.

There we made some jokes:

"Your rig is faster than mine."
"Why?"
"It´s already running gt4, mine is still in gt2."

Only disappointing fact was that I couldn´t run cfx on blackops, for what I was prepared perfectly. But anyway, it was a nice time and a very nice experience.

TY good job on the cans bro'

haha yeah that one was too good

really too bad we couldn't run 2x 4870X2 on any board, but next time in october for sure

[cdawall]

damn and i just sold my phenom

[saaya]

glad you had a good time sof
thanks for the fun time at gc man, was really nice to have you there

haha... do it make much heat? , so -25c is about max cold that works ? , have your tryied lower htt/bus speed?

they sure get hot man, sof said the 9950 was blowing at least as much ln2 as a qx9650 at 5.5g ... well, after all its 65nm vs 45nm... plus k10 gets really really hot if you push up vcore from what ive seen while intel 45nm heat seems to scale more linear and slowly with higher vcore

the sad part is that k10 doesnt care about cold and high vcore...
if theyd scale up to 1.9v and like at least -50 then wed see 4.5 at least i think, maybe 5g...

[saaya]

it worked on the blackops, remember?
it really sucks amd couldnt send us any cards to upadte the bioses to add 4870x2 xfire support... we just bought 2 cards in retail in taiwan and are updating the bioses now :/

but even then, remember what everybody said, ocing 2 4870x2 cards in xfire isnt exactly easy or fun :/ i really hope they improve their ocing support in future when they release new cards...

Yes, right. It sucks that they didn´t send even one card.

Disappointing thing was that there was no blackops on sunday to work with. So I had to run cfx-benchmarks at home (would´ve been cool to show these 137.5k 2k3 and 40.6k 2k5 with stock clocked cards to the crowd).

But anyway, having a "battle" between 2 totally different systems was a lot of fun. And working with Avenger, too (now there has to be a bios with cfx-support for it ).

but even then, remember what everybody said, ocing 2 4870x2 cards in xfire isnt exactly easy or fun :/ i really hope they improve their ocing support in future when they release new cards...

Yes, well said. Yesterday I tried cfx and with overdrive I could overclock gpus and memory from card one and only memory from card two. Gpu clocks from card two weren´t set.

Since the beginning ocing crossfire is a pain in the a**.

Hmm sound wierd... Can it still be somethings that hold the cpu back, maybe i need to get one and try it... i want to see a try with high multi like 22 and <-200htt and see if that help with -50c .

Or new bios or something..

[SoF]

I will try 200HTT with as much cold as possible very soon. I still have to take AMD clockspeed record down that's why I was allowed to take the system home (and to buy a 3rd 4870 and do some more 3D, right saaya?! )
but I have the feeling not even one of the Phenom cores I have will do that no matter what I will try. MAYBE 4100 cpuz is possible on the first core but no more. unfortunatly I will not have time this week-end so give me 5 days for some privat things until I fire up that rig again with dice and a different pot

[AliG]

I've always wondered, is there really any reason why amd's l2 is so slow compared to intels? I mean its not like having an l2 is a new thing, I see no reason why they can't get that down to like 4 or 5 ns from 14, that would finally give them the chance at winning a super pi stock record

[SoF]

honestly I don't have a clue about cache speed.
For all who are interested in the stepping - it is JAAFB AA 0811MPMW

[LardArse]

Owsome Sof... congrats, you have done Macci proud!

[SoF]

thanks man Macci's new wallpaper I guess (ah no more likely the chicks pouring LN2 like every 2nd around here now HAHA)

[hazeme]

Awesome results
