Really, it's that good huh ? Well, that's nice for Gigabyte I suppose

Remember your words, even if Bills offers you the BloodRage for benching (maybe block = 230

) you won't accept it

U broke 30k in 06 sweet!!!!!

**lior307** · 12-08-2008, 02:44 PM

I Checked your Result again and i don't understand : CF-X just gave you 1200 Points more in 3D06 than one 4870X2 ??
Shouldn't TWO 4870X2 Cards give you al least 5000-7000 more points in 3D06 than Using One 4870X2 Card ??

Also How much Power this takes from PSU ??Or wall ?? (if you have VoltCraft please tell us) .

**giorgos th.** · 12-08-2008, 02:50 PM

if 2 cards gave me 5K-7K more than 1 card it would be a WR.......hehehehe....
BUT 06 CFX score i made is very very bad.....

i expected around 31.2K - 31.5K....
i dont have any Volcraft sorry,but i`m quite curious to buy one and monitor the W..

It's Just weird that i Have QX9650 and ONE Card (at the Moment) 4870x2
And i can do 24-25K 3D06 (QX@4.6ghz)

Seems people are getting beyond the learning curve on this platform. Very nice results.

**jcool** · 12-09-2008, 02:40 AM

Very nice benching and cpu! Nice to see a retail one for a change

**giorgos th.** · 12-09-2008, 02:43 AM

Thanx guys..........
with the Pooooower of Graaaaaayskull...........

**dinos22** · 12-09-2008, 02:50 AM

dude you're freaking me out

are you benching on a cascade or SS here

great results

**giorgos th.** · 12-09-2008, 02:56 AM

both dinos.........

the last update with 3-4 results were on cascade after 2-3 hours.....

**dinos22** · 12-09-2008, 03:02 AM

so your SS is almost as powerful as cascade
faints

i wish my rotary SS is as strong as that
guess it needs tuning and a better CPU

**giorgos th.** · 12-09-2008, 03:09 AM

oh no no no.........
we had terrible problems with OSes and these results were just to get an idea.....and to see if there is a cold bug/cold boot....
it`s just that my 965 was playing nice at my SS too (-45C load)...
i still have results i haven`t posted......f.e. Vantage cpu score ~30K....
i believe with a set of fresh XP/Server2008 and a weekend free we could do some good damage....

**jcool** · 12-09-2008, 03:27 AM

Lol, I'll be happy if my SS holds at -26C when loaded up with this monster CPU... It's a bit too weak, tuned for high loads tho not cold temps (~280W)

**giorgos th.** · 12-09-2008, 03:49 AM

mmmmmm it`s hot hot hot.........
in Vantage cpus the cascade dropped instantly to -88C.......

**jcool** · 12-09-2008, 03:52 AM

You recon it eats more than 280W at around 4,5Ghz? If so that would be bad... very bad indeed

**giorgos th.** · 12-09-2008, 03:59 AM

never measured the "hunger" of the cpu.....
but i guess somewhere over there....

**jcool** · 12-09-2008, 04:08 AM

Yeah well I'll know soon if evap goes above -20C it won't hold

If only DFI would get their move on with releasing their X58 mobo.. you can't insulate any of the otehrs properly for 24/7 phase IMO.

**giorgos th.** · 12-09-2008, 04:11 AM

it depends what you use for insulation....
with armaflex it`s very difficult....
with coal rubber it`s a piece of cake....

**jcool** · 12-09-2008, 04:23 AM

Yeah I use armaflex.. coal rubber? Never even heard of that

Thing is, I really run 24/7 so my insulation has to be perfect. With just armaflex and neoprene gaskets, my insulation has been perfect for almost a year now (no grease on the CPU or socket) so I'd like to stick to that method

**giorgos th.** · 12-09-2008, 04:26 AM

this is what i`m talking about....

**jcool** · 12-09-2008, 04:37 AM

Lol nice

Where can I get that stuff? Does it go by the official name of "coal rubber"?

Easily removable? Thanks for pointing this out to me.

**giorgos th.** · 12-09-2008, 04:39 AM

here in Greece i asked for rubber for coal......
in store with art stuff.....
easy to apply,easy to remove and not leaving the slightest evidence.......
