[Deanzo]

Hardware Records.

Ta

ATI and Nvidia Gigabyte cards ?

woop, only ATI graphic can join that.

[dinos22]

yes HW WR , I m waiting this contest to pu 6.3ghz to my qx ^^

?? QX
are you saying you have a QX that can hit 6.3GHz?

[Deanzo]

heh between me and Deanzo we could bench Xfire X2 cards no probs lol

+ the NB, We could have 6 pots going

woop, only ATI graphic can join that.

i still have it

[T_M]

Ill be benching dual x2's hopefully

[andre X_X]

if its not global WR's than i'll bring my X300SE and any other old vga

I saw in the first post it says it must be Gigabyte M/B and VGA.

So those old vga's would need to be ATI/Giga cards.

Is that right hicookie ?

[T_M]

correct, must be Jiga

what was your cooling in this work ?

[ARH]

Hi all

do yo u know which version of Everest Ultimate Edition will be used in the p45 contest ?

Yes must using GIGABYTE VGA. Hmm i will bring X1550HM, X1650

Maybe GB must define the chipset category, otherwise many many HW Records with old GPU will break

that's why gigabyte want you guys send the equipment list for freestyle first.
must be gbt HW and no such lowe end card, they will check the list

[Pt1t]

not cascade LN2 , -140°

Interesting, no low end cards, is that going to be the same for the cpus (ie: no low end old cpus ?)

why not just give us limitation to what GPU is minimal? for example, must be minimal a 256bit/256mb gpu's, any lower specs is not allowed. that would be easier for us to decide which card to use

[TraX]

S e t h & I have decided that the time has come to upgrade our GPU block. Last competition we swopped one of our old revision blocks for a temp probe (thanks JMax & Damian), knowing that we would have to re-design for GOOC.

We have used our usual approach to surface area & mass. The block is machined from solid copper base with an aluminium tube over. Total surface area is around 200cm2, and the mass I will need to confirm a little later. The block will fit tri sli setup as well as 4870X2's.

Please consider it open source & available for all. Any comments would be welcome

This diagram was to look for obstructions on the 4870X2's, it may be useful to some?

Since the interface is on one side of the block, i dont see much point in the second row of 'surface area' holes

[s e t h]

leaving out the second row would reduce the surface area and increase the mass...while the mass would be welcome the speed of the pulldown and loadholding ability would be reduced.
but yes 100cm2 of surface area would likely be enough and one can really never have too much mass.
we just went with 200 as we know it will be enough for DI and LN2 and considering the holes are so deep we'd rather be safe than sorry
an aluminium ES version has been built and tested perfect on DI.

if i had to decide which set of holes to leave out i'd remove the ones closer to the face as i find cold mass close to the core more important when using ln2.
the cold spreads through the copper very quickly and a more than half the time the block has eaten the ln2 and is running dry with just the mass soaking the heatload.

yes HW WR , I m waiting this contest to pu 6.3ghz to my qx ^^

and 6.8/6.9ghz for my E8600

[Harshal]

Looking good, TraX!!
Good Luck guys!!

[Mean Machine]

Got my tickets, I'll be landing in Taipei on Wednesday, 11:50. Looking forward to it, but I'm curious what'll happen during my two days in Bangkok prior to the event, doesn't look too tempting.

[T_M]

Plenty to do in Bangkok



Soi Cowboy


BTW for anyone that didnt know yet, the SuperPI test will be 1M, which to me is a bit rediculous given the recent discussions about lucky CPU's in benching competitions. At least run a test that uses some memory tweaking/speed!

[TraX]

Looking good, TraX!!
Good Luck guys!!

Thanks Harshall & thanks for the advice as well

[elmor]

I have the same flight as Mean Machine, actually the two days in Bangkok is perfect to reduce jetlag so it's ok. Looking forward to meeting many of you (some of you again ).
