[Team.AU]Gigabyte X58A-UD7 Gulftown smackdown at 6GHz looking pretty easy

[dinos22]

ordered some more ln2
will have a crack at GPU quickly ... not a huge fan of ATI cards on LN2...something always goes wrong

---
dont have B1 to test mate but i hear ya

[Hondacity]

good luck with the ati drivers LOL

thanks for sharing tips on insulation

i gotta ask is vaseline on the ram slots easy to remove?

[dinos22]

why do you want to remove it....best to always stay lubricated

























yes you can...just blow hair dryer over the slots and it will melt all away

[Hondacity]

asians are always lubed

thanks for info...i'll cook vaseline tonight lol....get more LN2!!! we want more pixies

[Benny Lodewijk]

Nice number ! i tested B1 chip and it's not good as A0 .....

[CryptiK]

oh shoooot guys i forgot to claim some W.R.s


Hey Jody i am pretty sure i have a W.R. for Sydney South....maybe i could even narrow it down to St.George district >>> I broke at least 5 W.r. for my street, RAM clocks, gulftown speed, 06 score, vantage score, help me out guys maybe you can spot some more i overlooked , i have a W.R. for running LN2 at precisely 26.7C ambient too

OHHHHHHHH, I also have an atomic veggie W.R. too

"Hai, I is havings some sexy time with my UD7 and Gulftown, is very niiiize"

[Harshal]

Nice one and I kind of agree with Petri about your picture with fish
awaiting more numbers.

[dinos22]

haha Petri is just messing with us all man...i'm glad you guys "like" my fishing pics
did you see the monster he has lol....that chip is scary nice

[AndreYang]

I am working hard for you guys' cpus and VGAs. Nice to meet you next week.

[dinos22]

OK master Yang and boys please no pig blood cakes FFS thats disgusting

Pr0n shots inside beware

Gigabye 5870SOC gets naked

















MSI Lightning 5870 gets its gear off next

{pulls up a chair}

[nickshih]

{pulls up a chair}

Is the chair overclockable ?

[dinos22]

OK so here we go i did the first very quick GPU test due to some early cold issues

first of all.... >> Gigabyte 5870SOC card has no cold bug woohoo so you can run it at full blast and not think about it however memory chips on any GFX cards will eventually get a bit too cold so that is one thing that needs to be managed. The way i will fix that is same as i did on GTX275 lightning card by using Inox grease which will not freeze or melt any any temp lol....youngpro's tip that one from last year's testing we did for GPU competitions...:thumbup:

in the first few tests i went up to 1350/1300 (escaped half way through) but until i get this grease sorted right i wont know if i will be able to get more or not

i used 1.45v or so.......card didnt like 1.47 so im guessing its hitting some ocp or whatever i dont know....blank screen when it hits 3d

here is a canyon in 06 (heavy GPU test) at 1300/1300 which looks fine at 157FPS so it wasnt throttling



Here are a few photos from the bench session

[miahallen]

Is the chair overclockable ?

Hell yeah
It's amazing what you can do with a grease gun and some duct tape

OK so here we go i did the first very quick GPU test due to some early cold issues

hmmm...I hope you got more, most reference cards have done as well or better. Better luck next run mate

[dinos22]

HWBOT is full of 1300 GPUs yeah
only nick and andre have decent clocks on GPus on there but im sure they had more than one to try so will I heheheh

[Vivi]

well done dinos .

Excellent stuff, although i don't think im old enough to read this thread with all the innuendo going on in here .

Can't wait to start Gulftowning!

Did u do vtt mods etc? on card

[Monstru]

Jesus what level of :banana::banana::banana::banana:ography this thread reeched. What about that lube again?

[miahallen]

No disrespect...I was just hoping to see 1400 on that badass card

[dinos22]

yeah mia no worries it's the core of the card...if thats it doesnt matter how good the powerdesign is heheheh

well done dinos .

VTT mod erm no u got it handy?

[dinos22]

looks like it was my insulation
tried it again and found it even quicker that it got unstable at any frequency
pcie slot looked moist heheheh

will fix that up and try again tomorrow if i get time

[jabski]

great pics. Loving your work as always Dino

[dread77]

No disrespect...I was just hoping to see 1400 on that badass card

... same here... I was hoping for this card to perform MUCH better. Probably, when Dinos get those issues fixed we will see at least 1400MHz in core...
