I checked that already, points are awarded correctly for all your scores as far as I can see.

We were slightly below 26k before you submitted.

[BeepBeep2]

Alright, that's good.

[Don_Dan]

Nice scores l0ud_sil3nc3!

[SteveRo]

Well done Mr. LS!!

Well done Mr. LS!!

thanks guys, just need a better chip 6.5 is not going to cut it

[Don_Dan]

I want to see some 3D action with the GTX 275!

[BeepBeep2]

I have a 3870K I can send to someone who has a mb to bench, just ended up using the A75 UD4H.

Back from vacation, looking for mobos.

They seem pretty cheap.

me too I need a gpu pot

buy one and I will send you the chip and what ever else you need.

Welcome back!

Blame Gunslinger @ PURE team? He sold me the board...armaflex tape was on the backside of the PCB 3/4 length of the board horizontal across PCI-E slots. It was cheap though at $140, I was hoping I wouldn't have to RMA ever...
Either board or CPU died, I don't have extra board/CPU to test so board goes off to RMA before my 57x 2600K does

I use a grey pipe wrap, frost king brand, peels right off easy...eraser works too

Benched Athlon II X2 210e earlier:
7x gold cup lol

im about to insulate a board. I have always sprayed mg chemicals conformal on the underside and socket side in the past but its impossible to remove and the mobo companies are using UV lights to check for conformal.
has anyone ever taken a sheet of saran wrap and heated it covering the back of the board and then doing frostking over that? Do I even need conformal? should I just do 2 sheets of frostking on the back? is conformal even needed? I see alot of you guys using liquid electrical tape around the socket and then eraser. lemme know. I'm about to insulate some boards.

would this count for anything? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125047

nevermind. I bought that card as a tester for insulating gfx. I never did ln2/dice in vga before.

To be honest I think it is all way overboard.
For Ivy and AMD full pot stuff there should be no worry with just 4-5 thick paper towel gasket on back of board.

There are guys that frost the whole board over without issue lol.

How I've been doing it:

Top side -
Eraser whole socket area
Paper towel gasket
Armaflex gasket
That way socket area is completely sealed airtight and insulated, cold under full pot spreads at most to top VRM and 1st/2nd ram then stuff loose armaflex in gaps like VRM/NB heatsink. I've only done about 10-12 of these things but I have never found water even after leaving the thing overnight.

Back of the board usually run the frost king tape (kind with tinfoil on one side) across the back around socket area, then paper towels behind it, if I'm really lazy just stack paper towels thick (8-10 ply, 4-5 sheets thick) The stuff is not nearly as effective as armaflex / black stuff but I like it.

Then you have the vaseline crowd that don't insulate worth a crap, just cover all in vaseline and it becomes water tight. It seems an easy way to me to find a coldbug in boards...cold goes all over

that sounds like a good method. Ive always done what you do except conformal on both sides. Ive never done vaseline. like you said it seems like everything else would freeze and you would have a cold bug in too many places instead of just cpu or memory. How about nailpolish on the cpu area mosfets or vaseline in the socket ?? Ive always done it all. like 1 - 2 hrs just spent on insulation. I like your idea. I think the only thing I would do on top of what you do is nail polish on some areas by the cpu. also the the eraser in the holes on the underside of the dimms.

[BeepBeep2]

To be honest I wouldn't even bother the way I'm doing it now.
The eraser insulates somewhat and I haven't gotten condensation on mosfet side until tear-down.

But others have had different experiences, I guess I've just been lucky with my method

[BeepBeep2]

lol ok

Welcome back!

[BeepBeep2]

If somebody would bench Ivy IGP for the team comp (MVG has HDMI video out) it would be greatly appreciated.
I'll cover GMA and AMD HD, and also Llano I suppose, since trans_am sponsored the board and loud the CPU.

That leaves Geforce IGP, maybe I will post a thread in the intel section to see if anybody owns one of those boards.

Looks like I need to get my dewar filled again...

[Don_Dan]

I'm sure someone can take care of Ivy IGP.

[BeepBeep2]

Alright.

Someone needs to teach me how to run PCMark05

[ZenEffect]

Alright.

Someone needs to teach me how to run PCMark05

you and me both.

[BeepBeep2]

So I hear Phenom II X4 flies with ram on LN2

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

you and me both.

count me in

[BeepBeep2]

It's a start:

Sideport going screaming fast ftw, DDR3-2000

[Don_Dan]

Sounds like you're having fun Sam...

Ninja-post right in front of me!

[BeepBeep2]

Reminds me of why I sold the same model of the board in the first place...though chew* gave that one to me for free...
Sideport memory on this particular board is Hynix BFR.


I think I can do upper 3K's when on LN2, gonna make a ghetto rampot probably with eraser to seal against heatsink and foil. I hope the heatpipe doesn't implode.

Win 7 is better too, chew* has 3.65k or something on air cooling but with Win 7 which has better GPU scores.

I'll retest for real tomorrow on Win 7...

[Don_Dan]

No one seems to have gone over 260MHz HT clock with Deneb, with Thuban some people are pushing up to 330MHz. Do you think memory on LN2 will help? Or are you talking about the Sideport memory?
