Screw the booth babes I just want pics of how much drool was hanging off of dave's chin when he saw the booth babes........I could use a new avatar
No booth babes, but there was Jasmine acting as hostess.
To say she was a '10" would not be properly describing her.
Now imagine a young lady, perfect figure, beautiful face and add in a pleasant outgoing personality and you have just an idea of who she is.
She handled herself with a poise beyond her years.
The best way to say it is just a nice person that your glad you met..

It was really great meeting a lot of people that I have only seen posts of. Charrles had a top notch event at his place with some amazing benching being done by amazing people.
Thanks !
My ears are still ringing from Movieman, all ear plugs had been used up, worn out and tosssed before I came. Was great meeting Dave tho !!
Thanks to all the vendors that made this possible also !

Looks around, realises I left my BAN HAMMER back in New Hampshire!
( Don't listen to his BS, his mouth was flapping in the breeze also!)

hehe Dave is a really cool guy and it was a pleasure to met you my friend
A few more pic's
Ok some pic's coming up
The big tent outside durning the day.
The cold stuff
They had 2 small tanks of Liquid Helium
The crew durning the day getting things tuned up with LN2. That pot would take a full thermo of LN2. They would pour it non stop to keep it filled up. Temps for these tune ups for -190c, about as cold as you can get with LN2.
Jake from EVGA was there inside having fun with a Core I7 965 setup. He was rather board here and I thought I heard hi, crying under his breath... I want to play with Liquid Helium, we are only -80c here ! ... soob... soob. Just kidding Jake
The over head screens as it started to get dark
The dome outside at night. I told them... This is Vegas you guys need Lasers !
And they are starting to get ready for the Helium
These here are at -230c which was as cold as they could go. Breaking 3DMark05 records with a 45K+change run
So with the setup they were using they said that they need to develope new pots to get even colder. It was pretty wild, I had to leave the tent a few times because of all the Helium in the air, you could smell it and it would get to me after awhile. They said the night before it filled the top part of the dome and started to change the sound of the speaker setups they were using.
So with these new AMD chip you simply cannot get them cold enough. You could pour LN2 by the gallons and these chips still want more. They ended up with a CPUz run of 6.8ghz I think it was. But final WR was run at -230c and 6.3ghz.
Intel was rolling inside with a 965XE setup and had some problems at first but Jake from EVGA managed to pull some good numbers out of there on LN2, I think it was 5.3ghz that I saw, he most likely got a bit higher as Jake showed Franswa *sp from Intel how to run this setup. Good Job Jake !!
On the Intel side was rather mild clocks of 5.3ish Ghz,
Thanks Charles, Mike, and all the others.
Well; we did much more than 5.3GHz.
I did nearly 5.6GHz @1.5v (if I'm not mistaken it was a little less than 5.59GHz) while bob was pouring the pot (at about -95C). Only suicide BTW; stability was hard to find over 5.4GHz. AFAIK, the chip was yours.
PS. I'm just realizing that it was the WR... Hopefully, the valid might still be on bob's HD. lol But I didn't care about that... I'm definitely not a WR guy.

Yeah I thought that you guys did higher, I was just not in the room when you did. Very nice on the 5.6ghz !!
It was "only" 6.5 GHz for CPU-Z as far as I know The 05 WR was taken down by 6.3 GHz.
Amazing job, Team Finland. Seeing the system boot into windows at -245C seems so unreal, yet it is happening.
It was great meeting new people like grandpa Movieman and seeing familiar faces again.
The event was as perfect as it could have been, well, with one exception: The location could have been a strip club
Many thanks to everyone involved, especially Fugger, AMD and Team Finland.
It was great talking to other people that share the same passion.
Oppainter is such a great entertainer. Too bad I can't list everybody present at the event, the list would be quite long. It has been a pleasure
I took a zillion pictures that I will upload when I get back to Germany. Here is what the board looked like after about 2 hours of benching with liquid helium:

Yeah Francois,just wait for 6 core Istanbul for desktop,lets see how 8 threads in 965@3.46Ghz go against Deneb at 3GHz with 50% more cores .
Oh and those -240C temps are insane .How about that,a retail chips with no cold bugs and no *dirty tricks* a la "disabled temp sensors" and similar .

You missed that 3D mark 05 run by Bob , 05 world record does belong to Intel
