Fun LN2 session at SoF's hood - R.I.P A79A-S - amazing Rampage death!

[SoF]

Hey folks,

well normally I wanted to show 6 gig AMD in Germany at this point but somehow things turned out a little different My pretested Deneb Systen 5.6 gig 1m @ 1.89V wouldn't run even close to it this time. Well but let's start positive into this session with a big



First we had to test CFX - running only 1/2 runs correctly somehow under air (Freakezoit from AF inspecting it -.- )



While Freakezoit was away Matti OC cared about the 790i...



...what caused some fun (he of course let the system alive )


Intel vs. AMD - this pic says everything



Whatever I thought



Cheer's to rene's Q9550 on EP45T-Extreme - 2 hours fun and some medals on hwbot



That's all we can say about 790i on DICE this evening



All the night benching with 3 systems in my hood. I had to warm up my AMD rig for like 4 times as it gave up totally beyond -120°C a couple of times. wasn't as fun as last time with the same components



next morning we started with 4870X2 + 4870



3D Mark 2003 - 113k - AIR - Intel E8600 - Rampage Extreme - E8600 @4450 MHZ





After sleeping I began testing the A79A-S for the last time. Maybe all the LN2 and hours of extreme benching and 1.8V was too much for it at last...



Last scores of A79A-S with LN2 - R.I.P.

4840 MHZ - SuperPi 32m - 16min 5s - 220 HTT- 2420 NB - DDR2 880 - 4-4-4-18-24 - Foxconn A79A-S



4840 MHZ - Wprime1024m - 241.504s - 220 HTT- 2420 NB Takt - DDR2 880 - 4-4-4-18-24 - Foxconn A79A-S (damn I made this CPUz mistake again )



4500 MHZ - 3D Mark 2003 - 102666 - 250 HTT- 2500 NB Takt - DDR2 1000 - 5-4-4-12-20 - Foxconn A79A-S



Some hw pictures of rene and myself before somebody accuses us of hw sharing 2x E8600, some 4870, 4870 X2, boards etc...missing here the rampage dying sometime later and the amd sys with 4870.



The "Blow-Out" of the day with mainly "Auto" voltages", 1.52 PLL and 1.44Vfsb... Luckily it is just the board after I tested everything else on EP45T Extreme. Another dead rampage for no reason again...



We had better days in our oc-history so I had to give my aggressions to some "defenceless objects"



All in all we still had fun and maybe rene can give the X2 / 4870 combo another go on his P45 DS3 he left at home with the LN2 left

Nice bench session, very fun Nice photos

LOL Impressive the RE with low voltage.......

[Lightman]

What can I say??

I wish I was there with you lot!!

Looks like you had great fun!
Of course it could be better with better scores, but still

Are you now getting another A79A-S or waiting for AM3??

[G.Foyle]

Looks like you had lots of fun

[Bullet92]

"WTF? I kill the windows :>" ....
I can stop laughing... good one.

Very nice pics and results. Sad to hear that it's dead
Seems to be a lot of fun there... good work guys

[natedog420]

nice benching and i love the nintendo. good old skool gaming

[dinos22]

change your upload site already man

[fatguy1992]

I can't see the pics either .

[SoF]

thanks all - really too bad we couldn't get out the scores we wanted with all that hardware.

@natedog420 haha good catch - I love that old thing. Actually I have 2 of them

@dinos that's so strange, nobody in germany has a problem with that and I've never seen that from the image hoster yet. gonna re-upload the images during the day elsewhere.

€dit: here u go dinos, hope imagehack works for you

hmm, to bad you killed your hardware I waited for nice 6ghz and fast 32M

I run it one time around 5060 32m to Loop 7 but shortly afterwards the board was dead. and I just recieved another 0841 GPMW - too late for the session But I am going to order a new board quickly

[T_M]

Nice thread

hmm, this can be bad clocker

[Paulo Jorge]

Great weekend and great results

Too bad for the Rampage

Cheers

yeah and it won't do high NB clock I think. I will get a retail soon I think after selling off some Intel things We had like 6 775 boards but only 1 AM2

[M.Beier]

Your crazy
Rock on man!

[SoulsCollective]

FYI I get the same error with the pics in the OP. Nice results.

[maxine]

I think rampage burns because the bottom of the mobo is hot and burns the neoprene...this Fujitsu cap is always hot...

[SoF]

When we took the pot off, the backside was cold as hell (you can see some ice around the burned chip on the pic) - CPU temp during blow out was -90°C so I doubt a bit it was that hot. But then looking at the picture - seems like the board set some crazy voltage while on auto ^^

[jesperme]

Nice results! to bad for the rampage board...

[kromosto]

cant decide what to get jealous about, the hardware you have or the fun you got.

also you give me the idea to cool cpu with beer. it might be better then ln2

[Nordling]

My friend - pofigist - has too damaged motherbord in such a way, but it continues to work till now

[Achill3uS]

bro you cant bench without a big mug of beer im sure about it now
nice photos and results anyway

haha the secret of all german overclockers thanks!

[TheKarmakazi]

Great results, and looks like a good time! Always fun to bench with friends!
