I7 975 meets Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer

[subaruwrc]

Hello to everybody!

I would like to show you, what we did this weekend, together with
HUN eXtreme OC Team ( Z_Master, Szatesz, Speed )

Xtreme 3D Team Hungary ( subaruwrc, toyone)
We had lots of hardware including the brand new Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer, and an I7 975 CPU. We planned to pour 150litres of Ln2 on them but unfortunately we only had 55 litres...

Firstly here are some pics of the hardware we used.




A Gigabyte 790 FXT UD5P prepared for ln2


Rampage - my second name is danger - Extreme


Z_Master is preparing


Toyone is making the DFI LP UT X58 T3EeH8 ready



My bench setup


The Ln2 dewars


So after preparing, we started to bench, firstly with a Phenom 2 X550 BE and a P4 631 Cedar Mill just for fun The phenom managed to reach 6090mhz with 2 cores

and 6013mhz with all 4 cores enabled.

Z lost the superpi results because he formatted his HDD after the bench and there were on C/ documents... the 3D results are not as impressive because the low cpu freq.
4228mhz 3d03/ single 4850

and a 3d05


During his bench I started to push the little cedar but it wasn't so good. I reached only 5621mhz at 2v+

After I saw that, changed this cpu onto my E8600, that was ln2 virgin, and started pushing. It is not a real monster on air, but under cold it goes well. I set the vcore to 1.88v in bios LLC disabled ( idle 1.92v) and started clocking.
At -130c I reached 6.3ghz validated

Started to play with 3D05 ( my favourite) using a single HD 4870X2
I reached 38942 marks, with the stock vga cooler.

clocks were not maxed out, I wanted to run the cpu at 6ghz. I was sucessful until screenshot capturing... The score was 39761 marks at 6ghz
vga 837mhz core 1000mhz ram but It crashed before I saved the screen After that I wasn't be able to rebench so thats all from this platform... Once The rampage get wet, so I had to reinsulate it, but It didn't helped.

So look at the next setup. Toyone brought his E7400 to the event but he reached hard fsb wall at fsb 470 so started benching under that.
He managed to get top 3 scores at hwbot in pifast and wprime.

10.563 sec spi 1m

28,9k 3D05 - single Gigabyte GTX 285 at 730/1560/1300 , stock cooling

Later he changed onto an I7 setup with only stock cooling because the lack of ln2 and reached 32959 3dmarks in 3D05 with a single GTX 295 at 705/1520/1135

test setup


To go back to the results, made with ln2 lets have a look at a Gigabyte GTX285 3 way SLI setup.

the setup wasn't so tired, but I was

3D03

3D05

3D06



We tried to reach the TOP 5 in CPU-Z hall of fame, in max ram clock category but unfortunately we didn't. Maybe we should put an NB Pot on th rampage next time. Some photos of rampot.







And now, lets see our big gun. Here are the specs
Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer
Intel Core I7 975 Extreme Edition, Ln2 cooled
3*1 GB Elpida Hyper
3*2 GB G.Skill Pi Black
Radeon HD4870X2 Quad CF, Later Gigabyte Radeon HD4850 3way CFX
Corsair HX 1000w

3D03 150k+ ( hungarian record)

3D05 43500+ (hungarian record)


We do not have 3D06 screen because the cpu sucked always, down to 4.6ghz
setup pics:


Z working on it.


After these, I put 3 passive ( ) HD4850 into the Supercomputer, to see what they got.

41.8k+ 3D05

It is hwbot record

We figured it out today, that it is a record, during the benching we were only socked At higher clocks I wasn't able to complete any run because of freezes.
At the and here are some mixed pictures from the event.
5949mhz captured

Thats all.
Hope u enjoyed it.
Hardware supported by Hardverker, and Gigabyte Hungary . HUGE thanks for that!

Good report.

[Szatesz]

Nice report!!
Very good pictures

[Boulard83]

Nice job !

[over@locker886]

Nice results! congrats

[FlanK3r]

5900MHz with i7 is great

You mix it up monitor with photograph that E8600

[Achill3uS]

congrats guys, seems you had some fun together

[gandalfone]

Very nice bench day!!
But...why multy 32 on 975???? Have not you tried 31-29??? Usually this is the best multy

[gprhellas]

Nice photos guys, I enjoy every one…KEEP BENCHING

[TheKarmakazi]

Great pics and results guys! Looks like a fun time had by everyone which is most important!

As said before odd number multipliers usually are more stable. 29x and 31x are most popular, 27x works good on some 975 from what Ive seen too.

[subaruwrc]

congrats guys, seems you had some fun together

Thank you for your kind words, yes we had fun, and it was a big success for me that finally I could beat you.

Thank you gandalfone . Yes we tried 31* but it wasn't more stable than 32 and in this way we could keep the ram's at their stable freq.

Im glad you enjoyed it gprhellas It's a very good feeling to me, that such a great overclocker like you, congrats to me. Thanks again!!

Thank you too TheKarmakazi.
Next time I will keep eye on these little but rather important things.

edit: sorry for not multi qoute-ing...

[Jakethesnake011]

Very nice setup you guys had. Did you try the 2 gtx 295's on the i7 rig? Could have came close to the 40k mark in vantage.

[ViViD]

Nice Pic Guys
Too Many GPU You Must Break Some Record Next Run
Congrate

[subaruwrc]

Thanks you guys.
Jakethesnake011
Yes we tried but there were lots of bugs in the screen and I was afraid that, one of the cards, broken, so I didn't push them more. One of them was borrowed, and before selling so I had to take care of it. After we figured out, that was normal so.... the starting fps was 130 in the first graphic test.CPU was at 4750mhz because we only had DICE at that time, gpu-s at 680/1466/1100.

ViViD
Yeah, it was a great session, but Im sorry that we weren't able to break the hungarian 06, vantage records... If I let the vantage to run, Its a record I think, and If the cpu was able to complete 06 cpu tests at 4.96ghz, when the 4870x2-s were installed, maybe that is a record too.. Next time.

Thanks again.

wow! many great photos

[subaruwrc]

wow! many great photos

Thank you. We tried to show as many moments as we can

[joetheboss]

nice job..keep it up

[C|2|D]

Nice Clocks and Photos
Looks like a funny bench'weekend :P

[subaruwrc]

Thanks you guys. Yeah it was a lot of fun, I can't wait benching Ln2 + I7 again But I have nor a dewar neither strong vga-s for 3dmark testing..
Im pretty rookie to I7 but I read tons of useful info about oc-ing I7 here so next time maybe I can do a lot more efficient benching, in results, and in performance too.

[Mr_Orange742]

nice work guys keep it up. I never saw i LN2 pot for ram before, did you custom build it?

Thank you. Yes it's custom built by a hungarian watercooling block maker
