LEO!!!!!!!!




didnt get a chance to repaint my case yet but did get a chance to clean/rebuild my loop and do some other small mods to my case

figured id start this to help keep track of all my testing. ill be adding to it for who knows how long

and now for picture hell...

meh reserved for a cold day

[Dumo]

Awesome combo there CD

Now, you can torture 'em more

[crazydiamond]

thanks dumo, they will definately be getting tortured

updated OP w/ 2hrs blend stable @ 4250mhz & a few assorted benchies

[richierich]

Nice runs. Your temps skyrocket with that voltage after 2 hours though.

[crazydiamond]

actually i think they have leveled out. they only change with ambients now, they have been the same for at least the last hour. i do happen to have some 600ish CFM on some very high FPI rads though updated original post w/ 3 hour prime blend 4250mhz i think thats good for now..

not a bad 1st day probably done for the night, might go for a 6 core valid but prolly wait till i do more testing tomorrow

[Dumo]

Enough for stability
Bring it to the brink of unstable but benchable j/k

Did you got it from Negg? I Wonder if 1015 is the latest retail batch available. Gotta try one

[Zeus]

Hey big spender! Nice gear you got there! How's the ram doing?

The SSD seems worth it, i'm considering buying a OCZ Vertex Turbo. You encouraged me.

thanks, ive been saving up a bit & sold off an old rig w/ my 3.8ghz AIR 9850be & another one w/ my 4.4ghz AIR 940be to fund this stuff the ram is OK, nothing special, but hard to beat for the price. 1700c6 stable (not 32m ) is no problem but i still have lots of testing to do with it. i might try another kit while they are still cheap, i need another anyways. as far as SSD, if you saw the rig boot up you would have clicked order already i love it - from "starting windows" to desktop in like 15 seconds i honestly think this asus bios takes longer than loading windows lol

i have just been torn on GPUs... i dont need anything huge but obviously want the best but im trying to be reasonable here, so i think i decided w/ the way prices are now (higher than launch ), & performance difference between 5850 & 5870 after OC's (not much), i will just pick up a 5850 now & probably xfire it down the road (or maybe pick up ATI refresher card, 6000 series?). it will be plenty for the 1 game i sometimes play (UT3) im just most excited about getting this space heater out of my case and also getting some more modding done to it. probably wait till i get my gpu & then finish it up. i should be able to enter into the clean car comp with you when its done only one problem though, white, red, or black h2o tubing??????

[FlanK3r]

congrat. to new toy Diamont , Thuban is fun , i know it ,-). Which BIOS do u use? Im still at 0707 and waiting for fixing CPU-NB voltage in new.

[Zeus]

I've seen windows XP loading at 6+G on an E8600 and Rampage Extreme with a SSD and windows loading time was stunning, if i had to estimate i would say less than 10 seconds, maybe about 7-8secs.

Regarding the tubing, i've got black myself now but i really like the black/red theme you see used a lot lately. I think i'm gonna switch over to Primochill red 3/8 tubing. Not much of a fan of white tubing personally.

Red tubing matches the red of the CIVF and the red of the Dominators, so it has to look great imo.

[crazydiamond]

thanks flank3r, all my 1090t testing has been on 0801 bios so far. hopefully we get an update soon


zeus, ya im going w/ primochill pro lrt too, 7/16" though. ive also been leaning toward red - but i am like the worst person ever at making decisions so ill prolly end up doing my own lottery when it comes time to order. 3 red entries, 2 black entries & 1 white entry in a hat.. then i pick one

[Titan7171]

awsome system man you are definitely going to have fun.........you held out long enough to bad things didnt pan out like we thought

[crazydiamond]

thanks titan, it is definitely fun so far

added cpuz valid to first post..



these cores dont seem too strong for valids but pretty strong for stability. ill have to find out which ones are holding me back, maybe can squeeze a bit more out of it

[BeepBeep2]

Remember the voltage...

Anything over 1.55v for 24/7 on water may degrade the chip according to chew*. 1.52v on air. For valid's it wouldn't be smart to go over 1.6v. Mad222 said he almost killed his chip at 1.64v.

[crazydiamond]

someones gotta do it, and gOtVoltage doesnt have x6 yet

[Daveburt714]

Gratz on the new gear CrazyD...
Thubans are alot of fun to OC (better than C3 IMHO)!

We have simailar gear, If you wouldn't mind man could you try pushing your HTRef clock?
No matter what I do I can't seem to get stable HTRef clocks above 300.
Have fun and play first bro, but deep down I know your kinda like me and looking for stability in the end....

I'm stuck (for now) with a 1055T. Your Memory seems to be a little better than mine....
In a way, I'm blaming it on my memory, but I'm not really sure thats the problem!
My Mushkin (BBSE ECO'S) will do 1780 @ 7-8-7-24-33 stable at 268, but my system still has trouble (even at the 1066 divider) with HtRef clocks >300 (9x IMC too!),
which should be well within range on my Mems/IMC known stable clocks....

Not sure, but it may be a problem with the 1066 divider on the C4F....
Hopefully the 0901 bios will help, 'cause I'm not going to be able to afford a 1090T anytime soon...

Have fun with the new gear bro, and once again, gratz on the new system!

[Zeus]

You're not afraid to give it some volts, that's for sure. Mine won't make it into windows over ~1.53V even though it does post. 1.53V with LLC enabled is about 1.55-1.56V load on this board. Dunno why the chip ain't taking it?

Do you have a pic of your watercooling setup? 600CFM is quite a bit, especially on high finnage rads, that has got to be noisy. Do you know your watertemps idle /load?

[crazydiamond]

dave, thanks for the gratz.. this thing is definately fun, im looking forward to finding some nice 24/7 clocks. i think i will try to incorporate an extra multi or 2 for turbo in the next few days i will push htt and see what happens.

zeus, ive pumped over 1.6v into all my chips since the 9850be the only one that didnt like the volts was my 955c2.. 9850, 940, 965c3, and now 1090t all scaled up to at least 1.6v (maybe a little more ) not sure why your chip doesnt like the volts i think we might end up w/ a little better clocks as the bios gets smoothed out, clocks & volts seem to be all over the place so far

here is an old pic of my loop (now it has hardware from OP & rads have few diff fans - ill post new pics in next week or 2 when i finish my case )

2x120 rad is BIX II with 2x ultrakaze 3k in push, 2x yate medium in pull
1x120 rad is BIP with 115cfm 120x25 delta in push, 120x20 yate medium in pull
also the 140mm tricool up top pushes some good cfm when its on high which lowers fets temps pretty nicely

overall its pretty good for keeping a high heatload in check im not sure about idle/load temps yet, depends on the vcore i guess. i do know 1.6v on my x4 was 10c less on CPU load temps than my x6 at 1.6v

its a little loud when they are all up but for everyday use (cpu around 1.48-1.5v) i just keep all fans off except the 2 yate med's in pull on the 2x120 rad. i keep them at 7-8v which is nearly silent only when im playin a game or something ill turn those 2 yates on 12v & the rest of fans on 7-8v so its not too bad, no worse than my 4870x2 @ 40-45% fan speed.



edit: didnt have much time tonight but updated OP with improved wprime 32m and tonight i also improved spi 1m (14.88) but failed on cpuz ill have to run it again sometime

[crazydiamond]

just got another piece to the puzzle im going to try to get another for crossfire but just dont have the money for one right now.. in the meantime im going to see how high i can crank it & how it compares to my 4870x2 @ same cpu clocks. this 5850 has modded bios w/ 900mhz core, 1250mhz mem @ 1.12v on the core. for the next hour or 2 it will have 1.35v on the core

[crazydiamond]

well having trouble getting 1050mhz on the core but 1020mhz core 1250mhz mem suprised the hell out of me

also updated OP w/ result..

4870x2
3dMark06 - 4407mhz - 4870x2 @ 800/975 --- 25,342 3dmarks


5850
3dMark06 - 4407mhz - 5850 @ 1020/1250 --- 25,313 3dmarks!!!

[BeepBeep2]

Nice results

[Barr3l Rid3r]

Nice results

any update on STT 1600 C6? are u sure they are mgh-e?

[crazydiamond]

thanks beep, i cant believe single 5850 was over 25k & pretty much matched my 4870x2


edit: lol i thought i posted in the wrong thread, answering to beep & then when it posts barr3l had a ram post before me, was like wtf :? lol

any update on STT 1600 C6? are u sure they are mgh-e?

edit: realized u were talking bout other kit :/ -- i might be picking up a kit of them 1600c6's in the near future in which i will definately compare w/ my 2200c8's

[Daveburt714]

Nice gear CrazyD!

Man, I need a 5850 and some better ram than this Mushkin BBSE...

I may also need Computers annonymous...
