Some 2D test with X2 550BE and Gigabyte MA770T-UD3P

[Lucky_n00b]

Hi everyone,

This is one of my attempt on Hwbot Country Cup 2009 3rd Stage with my friend Coldest, desperately trying to catch up with the 955BE/965BE's (and FAIL miserably LOL )

This is the rig


AMD Phenom II X2 550BE
Gigabyte MA770T-UD3P, F5D BIOS * Thx Mr. Benny from Gigabyte Indonesia *
G.Skill PerfectStorm 2200C8 2x2GB
MSI GT240
Enermax Revo85+ 1050W
CoolerMaster Test Bench v1.0 * Thx CoolerMaster TW *
CPU WoodPot v1.0
15L of LN2


* For anyone that's curious, 'Daerah Berbahaya' sign there means 'Dangerous Zone' *

Insulating (OK, I admit that I overdid it a little )


Insulating - backside


The pouring start


Too bad I've only got a small 15L LN2 Dewar, so it's really time limited, as this is the 1st time I put LN2 on my X2 550BE. So I just do a 'quick-and-dirty' run with it, tried to get as much clock as possible, without considering the efficiency.

This is the best SuperPI 32M I got :

The system has already became very unstable at the moment, look at the CPU-Z memory tab(it showed 600MB, not 4096MB)

also The efficiency was a bit 'off',
- NB Freq probably can be pushed more
- RAM Frequency and Timing still can be tweaked
- Maybe the CPU still have 50Mhz-75Mhz more?
- OS not too optimized, no wazza at all.

Too bad LN2 Run out when I tried to maximize all the other settings, so 11m47.xxx s is my last result.

This is a quick 1M run by my friend Coldest, before running 32M

Well then, that's it for now,
I'll try harder next time when I got my 965BE

Regards,

EDIT : i got some videos for this run, I'll post it here when I'm done uploading it

If you didn't do it technically the 600 MB ram helped you

Maxmem 600 is a commonly used as a tweak for 32m runs.

I did do my Maxmem, Mr. Chew( I set it at 600, and I always do that before 32M run )

But what I don't understand, all this time even if I set my maxmem to 600, the CPU-Z Memory tab will still show 4096MB.

Please take a look at my other runs


This is done right before I do the 6Ghz run, (without restart) and same MaxMem settings, the CPU-Z Memory Tab showed 4096MB, not 600MB.

nice first try, mate, waiting for 965

Disable SPD in CPU-z, then you will see 600MB there SuperPI showing you correct value of maxmem what you have.

Hi there my bro,

Well, thanks to Ekky that I got this 15L Dewar(I bought this from him)
It's not much, just barely enough for 2.5-3 hours of full-pot CPU Benching(AMD), but it's still better than nothing..

I'm waiting for my next 50L Dewar, it probably arrives next month,
and after that, I will try to catch up with U in Hwbot with my 5970's

God job! I will be watching you!!!

great score man.
