hi guys
TEAM.AU Strikes again!
i bought a s/h dewar and thought i'd give it a crack yesterday. The plan was to bench XFX 780i with tripple 8800GTX in tri-sli with QX9650 but things went bad after changing from water to LN2. After struggling with the setup for half hour on LN2 it stopped working.......after some hair dryer action etc all parts tested ok but it was time for Josh (moloko) to go and so did all the nice goodies
well that wasn't going to stop me having some fun with some of my gear![]()
so i chucked together my favourite setup and went for it quickly

Can't help myself and i have to say this would be a fitting soundtrack if i had time for the youtube video edit FINAL COUNTDOWN hahaha <<loves that song and solo>>
Test Configuration:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 720Axxx
2GB DDR2 Corsair Dominators PC10000

Big Mama 35L MVE LN2 Dewar
80GB Samsung SATA Hard Drive
Windows XP Pro 32bit
I was limited to 1.79v idle and 1.76-1.77v under load in vcore due to OVP on the mobo....gotta remove that lol but i maxed out the FSB on the chip anyways
i benched the GFX at only 700MHz core and 922-999 on RAM
BIG MAMA in the house
Did a quick 8M SuperPi (don't mind the time)
3DMARK03 run at 5.3GHz on YOUTUBE
this was the first run no tweaks and bad strap on RAM plus really loose subtimings
also auto gfx settings so result is not what i was going for
plan was to see if i can make it run 3D that high in such a short period
3DMARK05 = 27,090 points (had to submit direct but Futuremark is down atm)
AQUAMARK 3
3DMARK01 (87K pretty decent considering the GPU clocks)
1M SuperPi 9.531s @5345MHz
32M SuperPi 9m 33.061s @5350MHz
GIGABYTE BOARD SWIMMING IN WATER AND PERFORMING LIKE A TRUE CHAMP
