Good morning everybody,

Ok - now at 31333.

I increased vcore to 1.5v and was able to dial in 4.75ghz with memory at 2016 6-7-7 1T.

Nice one Steve.....didn't think it was going to take you long

**eva2000** · 03-20-2010, 03:50 AM

wow congrats.. did i read right that's 12x ACARDs? That's nearly AUD$6k just there

**SteveRo** · 03-20-2010, 04:29 AM

Thanks guys.
eva - so physically six acard "boxes" each set to R0 - so actually 2x6=12 R0

**eva2000** · 03-20-2010, 04:33 AM

oh i see.. thought 12x of them - dam you must post a photo of the system you're running - would be such a sight

**SteveRo** · 03-20-2010, 05:30 AM

A few pics - really not much to look at - homemade rack setup in a closet - functional I suppose -

**eva2000** · 03-20-2010, 05:38 AM

thanks.. reminds me of one of my rigs old DFI 875P-T Pentium 540 Prescott hehe

**SteveRo** · 03-20-2010, 06:30 AM

great minds think alike!

**SteveRo** · 03-20-2010, 06:57 AM

Hey, great job mr mbreslin! - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcmv=295688

I think this puts you at #4 right behind Mr Nizzen.

LSI 9260 and crucial c300's - making progress.

Come on Mr Nizzen - time to put up some more scores.

**Gilhooley** · 03-20-2010, 11:52 AM

Awesome results! Congrats

**mbreslin** · 03-20-2010, 08:24 PM

Well done steve, I'm coming though!

**SteveRo** · 03-21-2010, 07:20 AM

Good morning, I pushed the vcore to 1.45v to get the 980 oc to 4.65, I wanted to be the first over 30K -

congrats steve, thought the last one won't hold more then a few days with 200 points extra only,
that's quite of a jump here, maybe this one will

.

oh, so this is how u place u'r stuff,

that looks better then u'r avatar

E: 2nd grats for the 30!

**lowfat** · 03-21-2010, 07:32 AM

Nice job. I really wish I could give this damn bench a try w/ the ioXtreme.

**Hondacity** · 03-21-2010, 07:33 AM

Thanks guys - once the serious subzero folks have sometime with the 980 I imagine all the top 20 vantage numbers for pcmark and 3dmark will be going up.

Does it actually use more than 4 CPU's?

**SteveRo** · 03-21-2010, 07:59 AM

Seems like it must - I need to run it with task manager open and see.

**eva2000** · 03-21-2010, 08:28 AM

wow congrats over 30k!

my first pcmark vantage oc'd run i7 980x @4ghz single hd5870 single 80GB X25-M G2 heh http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcmv=296388 = 21,258

Thanks eva2000, hey, nice run!
Do you still have your highpoint controller?
For each intel drive you add (R0), I bet you get 1k or more for each!
I bet you could probably get 25k or more with 4x x25-v or m on your system.

I ran the primary suite test in dual monitor with task manager max in 2nd monitor.
1 subtest used only 1 thread, 3 subtests used all 12, all the rest used 6 threads (not supporting hyperthreading?). CPU was at 4.14ghz, cpu utlization varied wildly as you would expect - 0-5% up to 70-80%, I don't think I saw anything 90 or above - interesting.

edit - this was with a single x25-v for storage not the acard array - with the 1231/acard array cpu utlilization mig be able to go higher.
