Cinebench R10 32/64 bit challenge AIR/watter here :)

[theoldtimer]

Thanks man.

Do you reckon the MSI will unleash some untapped power?
If you idle around 18ºC you must be using a very nice chiller!

You'd rather call it cold water instead of cool. Any pics of that set up?

I saw that 14K run, unbelievable you could run it at 4280MHz! Did you have to back down all the way to 4.1GHz due to the 64 bit OS?

I don’t know about unleash but the MSI /965 combination, at first testing yielded a little higher clock than I have been able to get from the Gigabyte, so far.

Yeah, it will idle at 18C+/- but at the hint of any processor activity the temp jumps into the mid 20’sC and I have no clue how high it gets under full load.

I use a small camping cooler with one swiftech radiator and one heater core from a Chevy van ($27) installed in the water cooling loop, these radiators are placed in the bottom of the cooler. I add just enough water to cover the radiators then fill the cooler to the top with ice. I use a swiftech pump and GTZ water block plus I insulate the water lines. Usually 22#’s of ice lasts six hours or more depending on the processor used, over clock and which tests are being utilized.

I’d love to have an OCZ Cryo-z but being that they don’t ship it and I don’t plan to drive several thousand miles to California to buy it, this looks like the best I’m going to do is Ice in a cooler for better cooling.

finnaly 16 000+ ...tomorow il try 3900 MHz with air

[theoldtimer]

Looks good Flank3r.

Heres my entry

Phenom 965 x4
Asus M3A79-T D
2x2gb ddr2 1066

Cinebench Vista 64bit

[FlanK3r]

new one, think next will better, 3950 MHz is possible in x64 for me (with 1.52V)

16 455

This wasn't exactly easy but in the end i managed to beat theoldtimer's 965BE.



I needed 15.5ºC ambient temps to do it.

Please don't beat this score, i hate to rerun it again.

need to work the kinks out of the cooling, working on getting the temps below 0c

[theoldtimer]

Looks like I need to find a way to get my system a little colder. I guess you guys aren’t interested in taking it easy on an old man?

[Zeus]

Rest assured buddy i'm already over 40 so i'm an old man as well.

I think you did good enough, just leave it like this ok?

Great score equinox!

Nice score man, but if your working on temps below 0c, I'm not sure you meet the Air/Water criteria...

Rest assured buddy i'm already over 40 so i'm an old man as well.

I think you did good enough, just leave it like this ok?

I'm probably older than both you guys.... Sounds like Zeus is scared to me Oldtimer (Evil Grin)...

Just leave it like this... Huh? Chicken!! Hehe....

I still haven't seen anyone beat my 17255 with a 550X2 on water...

[FlanK3r]

ZEUS: im waiting at lower room temps and i can tryi t (with AIR ) . To time i havent lower temps under 21C...

but, very nice scores!!!

Great score equinox!

I don’t know if this 965 has anything for you ZEUS. Your score looks strong. I’ll tweak on it soon to find out. Equinox1 may be the one to watch.

I still haven't seen anyone beat my 17255 with a 550X2 on water...

That is a great score Dave and I won’t say for a 550, IMO that’s a great score for any Phenom II.

[Zeus]

Me scared? no way! I just think this bench sucks as it is very very inconsistent and boring to watch too.

I think i'm gonna need a 965BE here, come on Simon.

Yeah equinox is definately a very strong contender but i think he is using chilled water like you, mine is water at it's purest, lol.

Hey Flank3r, show me what you got buddy, you think you can take my score down? That would be awesome, espcially on air.

I think you need to make a chart so i can be in the top spot!

Seriously, a chart would be nice.

[FlanK3r]

Zeus:i think not, maybe with a luck i got 17 000 points and this will all for my chip :-/, u have great vcore for 4100 mHz, i need the same for 3900MHz in x64 cinebenh, or, how much helped u lower ambient temps?

[Zeus]

I went from 4055MHz at 25-26ºC ambient to 4080MHz at 24ºC ambient and 4130MHz at 15.5ºC.

As you can see low ambient really helps. My temps never exceeded 35ºC during the cinebench runs at 4.1GHz+, idle was ~24/25ºC.

[FlanK3r]

omg...it seems, your chip is 100 MHz better for hard testing. How is your max validation? Can u broken 4300 (maybe 4400 MHz)? And my tip: run CInebench, dont close program and run second it-second run is better score!

[Zeus]

Thanks for the tip but i did that on a number of occasions but results were still inconsistent no matter what. It's just a matter of rerunning it till you finally pull off the score you're expecting. In my case 17K7 at least.

My chip isn't special really, i'd say somewhere in between average and good. chew* has a good one that will completely annihilate mine, i'm sure of that.

I don't know about validation, i don't really care about that but i would be surprised if it wasn't touching 4.4GHz. It ran SuperPi 1M at 4320MHz. (see sig)

[chew*]

Heh I should break TWKR out. 4.2 gig prime stable on water....wonder what it can do in cinebench

I might have sold or traded that 955......cant remember......I know it was a sad day when I ran cinebench on a 920 DO at stock last night ......

Good Idea to allow for cool down times guys. AMD cpu's do have thermal throttling, which will impact results

[FlanK3r]

Zeus:your "crazy" chip must be stable 1h prime at 3900 MHz +, because my is at 3900 (3895) with 2665 uncore and u have higher Cinebench run.

Chew:good, 4.2 prime is very good , u must post it . Maybe CInebench at 4300-4350 MHz possible.

Nah.....I could but.....not going to.

Ongoing research.

[equinox1]

yes my water is chilled,but its water none the less. my chip needs cold so cold it will get. lol

Update

[Zeus]

equinox1, what kind of cooling are you running? Do you have a waterchiller or are you putting your rad in ice like theoldtimer does?

A pic of your setup maybe?

These Phenom II cpu's all love cold.

[Daveburt714]

Great score man! Almost 17.8k, NICE...
I'll cut you some slack, your right, even chilled water is still water....

I'm with Zeus though, I'd really like to see a pic of your rig....
I've been thinking about going colder... Was thinking about TEC's but I'm not sure they could handle a ~140w chip...

Well maybe a 400w Qmax TEC could, but the power requirements are getting kinda crazy as far as I'm concerned. It would be fun to play with, but not a good option for 24/7 clocks...

I'm a lil buzzed, and need to go to bed soon, but it's kinda cool here tonight, so I'm gonna see If I can beat my best (17255)...

It may be a little OT, but pics of your rig would be really cool!

[equinox1]

i will put up some pics tonight, my chiller is an old 5000 btu ac unit i had laying around.
my biggest expense was the pump. its a little giant 4md.
