PCMark Vanatage WR is now 29272

Ln2 ...

Or even a single stage. Even w/ the ty single stage I have I can pull 4.8GHz easily enough w/ an i7 920. W/ a 32nm CPU a good single stage should be able to bench easily @ 5GHz.

yeah stevie go ahead .
j/k,
or move to antarctica for a day ?

Brilliant run!

Well done

I was going to jump on a bunch of 3rd gen SSD's but there is a *lot* of erratic performance out there so i'm waiting for the dust to settle

Amazing steve.

Just checking in to say I'm not done, Grabbed new 5970 on ebay to replace my cold bug crappy one, 980x still not shipped from tiget direct lsi fastpath still to come, I will not just go away quietly with #4. :p

Thanks guys, I think I'm done for a while, this score might hold for a week or two. Once the real subzero folks get a hold of the 980 I expect lots of competition. That said they will still need a strong storage system, a good h/w raid controller and lots of fast ssds - something like what Mr. mbreslin has would fit the bill. Meanwhile, there is something called outdoors - a world beyond my basement my wife tells me - must investigate ...

So who is making a good SS these days?
Who would you recommend?

[Tiltevros]

a good h/w raid controller

you mean lot of cache?? cause with out cache ...

ruffus (in Ontario) is building mind. He is only guy I've seen in Canada that builds them. Chances are it would be cheaper to find someone closer for you.

I have done some reading on the subject - I know how to insulate board/processor - done that before - looks like the clay putty is working our well for folks - from what I can tell. Do you insulate inside the socket? the grease makes such a mess.

I used vaseline in the socket. It can be easily cleaned up w/ some gun cleaner, which isn't harmful to the board at all.

Holy cow batman - That is so awesome!

Congrats and keep pushing !

Thanks, I have been able to get 4.8 linx stable, ht off.
Also, I think I am the first to go over 100gflops in linx.
Need to firm this up a bit more than back to pcmark vantage.

[NeedMoMegaHurtZ]

Sweet!

Just curious - What was your max so far for HT on (linx stable)?

What do you run 24/7 when you're not benching ?

Aren't you getting into "dicey voltage" area for these chips? That's would be an expensive chip to fry but obviously you can afford the hardware toys

4.8 - i thought that was the 1st screen shot?

power off

yes, very dicey

[SteveRo]

correction that 4.8 is ht off - I will go look.

[SteveRo]

4.72 linx stable with ht on -

[Computurd]

either way that rocks and to get even 4.5 on my 920 requires 1.4v so that is great. you are using chilled liquid though right?
hopefully i can push higher with my new mobo i get tommorow
switching from a e759 classy to a e760

[NeedMoMegaHurtZ]

I agree , still awesome HT on or off

Can't wait to see your SS results

Good evening CT how you been?
Yep, still on the 2x boreas (8 thermal heat exchangers total) - working out great, heavy current draw heats up the connections but she's holding together.
Good luck with the new mobo!

Don't hold your breath on my SS - hopefully lowfat will have some 980x/SS resuts for us soon.

Hard to compete against Corsair labs

[SteveRo]

Yes, yes, I just saw this also
Excellent score for them!
Kind of hard for a private party to compete with a company like this.
I knew an SS or LN2 score would top me at some point.
Interesting if you look at the subtests marked "HDD".
I beat them - in some places, by a good margin - looks like in 5 out of 6 of the HDD tests.
They won in windows media, I think I won all the rest.
I could go visit lowfat when he has his SS/980x set up - bring my 1231/12xacard?

[Planet]

Yea, I think extra cache of a 4gb dimm on the card could have helped the hdd scores. Hard to compete with those ram drives.

[SteveRo]

See - http://www.tweaktown.com/news/14682/...le+Feedfetcher

I think I might be able take this back with a 980x oc of only 4.95 (maybe 33x150)
Assuming my cooling can handle it, how much vcore should this take?
Corsair used 1.717v (cpuz) for 5.79 - based on this and my previous posts - so wadaya think - how much vcore?

[Biker]

Don't fry your chip, man... its only Vantage

........and they used eleven Force Series SSDs in RAID 0.

I know competition at the top is always going to be tough, but losing out to a company does not seem right.

[NeedMoMegaHurtZ]

How did they have their Force SSD's setup? What controller?

[Computurd]

sorry guys but this is ing horsesht they should not be in here busting our chops on vantage. they are a company. now what, areca? highpoint? WTF is the point of that? we should fire off a mass of emails at them and tell them to keep their corporate bullshat out of our benchmarks.

EDIT: those bannanas make it look funny but seriously im pissed off about this!

[onex]

The drives were combined into a Raid 0 on the Areca® ARC-1680D-IX-12 PCI-E RAID controller.

it's not that bad losing a WR for a company steve,
they have much more options then most users have,
it actually places u in a different league..

the 30K was a nice score, and a mouthful of appreciation for that effort,
if u wanna take it a bit higher, u can probably smash them with some extra OC,
some 980's CPU-Z's show easily 1.588 and higher VID.
u don't really have to do it though..
E:
u got a point there CT...
