sorry for my bad english

3 HD4890 will be impressive. Can't wait to see your results
I had a blast. Now we just need to get you benching a Phenom II rig, all you have to do is keep the pot full of LN2
Thanks man. LHe honestly is too expensive to use even for extreme benching. It was a lot of fun to watch, but I'd rather stick with LN2 and be more cost efficient. I think the LHe bill for the three days was around $5k
Me too! I'd settle with a smaller one, that one holds 900 gallons. I'll take a 200 gallon tank to start.
Thanks for the help piecing together that last 790FXT-UD5P. I really wish I had swapped boards much earlier, the ASUS BIOS/board was just slightly more mature and resulted in slightly better performance.
I've been benching with that board for a while actually. You are the only person I know that has been pushing NB on that board. Even Peter Hardman was stumped by it. The Asus M4A79T-Deluxe loves my Elpida though, so I went to Fry's today and picked one up for testing. Bought 2 4870x2 waterblocks also, going to put the cards on chilled water next week with a retail CPU![]()
For reference NB clocks best when memory is stable and IMC is happy.....IIRC you were using rear slots....the gigabyte works best with elpida in front slots Or at least thats what my testing has yielded. Give it a shot. Check out the gigabyte thread, Msimax is working with elpidas atmNot the only person, Msimax has been pushing the NB as well....he's also worked closely with me so knows most of the tricks.

I've got no strings to hold me down.
To make me fret, or make me frown.
I had strings but now I'm free.
There are no strings on me
True but we forgot to take one thing into consideration.....I was using 2 sticks binned from 6 sticks total, and had them Id'd right down to which slots they needed to be installed in for max clocks...........they probably needed to be toned down a tad to say 1660-1680, the 1720 I was running was so close to the edge of stability its not funny.
This was msi's chip on the gigabyte.

I would say just sit down with it for awhile man, you will figure it out, don't count it out quite yet![]()

Congrats on your scores [XC] gomeler!
Following your footsteps I will attempt to bench upside down next timeSick idea!
Also that LN2 tank would look perfect in my garden! A bit of engineering and one would make nice 24/7 cooling solution for Phenom II![]()
