PCMark Vanatage WR is now 29272

I left a comment about how the headline makes it seem like their drives were totally responsible and you only read about the 5.7ghz+ on ln2 when you drill down into the article. Other then that I hope it doesn't lead other companies to come do the same. Not much we can do to a) compete or b) keep them away. I imagine steve is slightly more perturbed than the rest of us.

Last night - I did try to up the oc to 4.95 - went all the way to 1.63vcore.
I could boot into windows @ 4.95 but I was not even close to being stable for vantage.
Cpuz was showing 1.66v which was rather alarming - perhaps due to load line calibration set to level 2 (Gigabyte's name for vdroop compensation).
Temperatures at idle were actually not bad - high 20's to low 30's.
I suspect deep subzero is needed but I may yet try an ice or a dry ice reservoir.

Don't fry your processor Steve, you'll need a cascade or LN2/DICE to compete with them.

Manufacturer's competing in "our" sport is very common these days unfortunately, just look at the rankings at hwbot.

[Nizzen]

LOL

I am still on 4th place and that is with my old 24/7 computer running on slow cpu speed

Edit: I am faster than Crosair on almost all HDD tests

I am faster than SteveRo on:

-HDD importing pictures to
-HDD gaming
-HDD application loading

I'm always a little suspicious that these types of benchmarks are influenced by manufacturers to take advantage of features that cannot typically be utilised in real life, which I can live with, but it seems self defeating to then compete. Maybe there should be two categories? One for end users and one for corps.

Good morning all,
I don't want to belittle what Corsair has done, that is an amazing score they have posted. That said, even if I had ln2, I'm not sure I would want to put 1.72v through my $1K+ proc. For any of us (private party), a dead proc is somewhat more than an advertising expense.

[Anvil]

Congrats on being the first one to break the 30K barrier SteveRo.

Now, how can you regain the #1 spot?

[mike]

NIce going Stevero! Got a serious rig there!!! Those chiller look great. At my latest run I was seeing +80C on my 980x, getting jealous seeing those temps... My single stage can't hold the load of my 980, to air it is for now.

re: Corsair Results - Great job also @ Planet !! Everyone should know that this result was not truly created by Corsair, but rather by a hardcore overclocker; Planet. Nice LN2 clocking for sure!
I personally always love seeing people push boundries in PCMark Vantage. Awesome benchmark to test your overall system performance and system efficiency!

[Computurd]

@mike
i couldnt agree more. more of the cpu overclock there than the storage array.

cmon lsi with yer fancy FastPath....im itching here!

@mike: 34k legit? if so awesome.

hell no!! No pranks from my side. Enjoy Vantage waay to much and would hate to see the same things happening in Vantage as it is now in PCMark05...
100% hardware tweaking - no silly software ramdrives etc.

[Computurd]

congrats mike that is a helluva run, man that just is phenomenal.
i couldnt agree more on the pcmark05 front. i used to bench that quite heavily, but really lately its a joke. thats why i switched to vantage, to much funny stuff going on in '05!

[Planet]

Congrats mike!

[mbreslin]

@mike: I wasn't implying, just asking! It _was_ on april 1st after all Pretty awesome sir.

@planet: Come ln2 my 980x ok? Thanks.

Sr-1 and 2 awesome xeons to bust through 40k? Fun stuff.

stevero, you'r famous .

[SteveRo]

@Onex - thanks, yes famous for getting my kicked.

@Planet, I wonder what your Crucial managers will have to say about them holding the record for only five days. Will they want you to go again?

@Mike - what did you use for storage - nice score!

@Mike - what did you use for storage - nice score!

yepp, this one is interesting .

By uping vcore to almost 1.6v I was able to get a successful pcmv at 4.8 ht on - but it only added ~400pnts - now @ 31748 - a good distance behind Mike and Planet -

[mbreslin]

@steve: My 980x should get to me on tuesday (finally!), would you mind posting a bios template for something around 4.5ghz so I have something to work with?

thanks!

I really think you need to find yourself a single stage to do some quick runs w/.

thanks!

EVA2000 and I did baseline runs (no oc) single ssd - full PCM vantage just to make sure everything is working right. I recommend you do the same - our settings and benches are -

You may be right

Good morning and happy Easter to everyone,
I just ordered a single stage phase changer from sdumper.
I should hopefully have it in a couple weeks - should be able to hold -40C on the 980.

[Anvil]

Happy Easter to you as well,

Do you have a link?
Just curious to what it looks like and at what price level we are talking about
