50k Netburst done + more benches (955XE @ 6GHz+, single X1900XTX)

[crotale]

I invited Kinc and Incido for some benching with Intel's 955XE and ATI's X1900XTX. We also fixed some 30 litres or so of LN2 to make it a little more interesting.

Spec:
Intel 955XE - Mousepot + LN2 (-140C)
ATI Radeon X1900XTX - Natrium Single Stage (-45C)
Asus P5WD2 - vcore, vdimm, vdroop
Corsair 5400UL
OCZ 520W

The first day, we tested how much the graphics card could handle when it comes to cooling. Chefnr1 container and LN2 for the graphics card and a single stage unit for the CPU. The card managed -50C which was quite ideal for the single stage cooler for the next day.

For day two we mounted the single stage compressor to the graphics card with temperatures at around -45C and a Mousepot to the CPU with LN2. We benchmark 3DMark2001 and 3DMark05 at 6300MHz and 3DMark03 at 6200MHz

You all know that the 955XE, as well as the X1900XTX, draws a lot of current and it definitely doesn't get any better when they are heavily overclocked. We measure a power input of over 700W into the OCZ 520W PSU during the Mother Nature test in 3DMark03.











Results:

3DMark2001: 50079

3DMark03: 27111

3DMark05: 15004

3DMark06: 8194

the new generation of Intel's chips are so powerfull


great job

[nachthymnen]

Congratulations!!!
Impressive scores and many tks for the good images...I have to test my GTX under DICE and I will use your pictures for insulate my VGA.

nice, some Intel power , but i think that there is some resere in GPU performance

[Kinc]

Yeah there really is. We managed to run 918MHz of core at the sweet spot with LN2. The memory toped out at 927MHz at best though. We had to be conservative with the LN2, therefor we used a singel phase on the X1900XTX instead.

[zbogorgon]

I see lot of you use single stage for GPU ocing, I use DI and think it's way better that phase change, plus 10° lower for sure. I got mine 890 on core, LN2 didn't bring me anything, i can get core higher, but couldn't get the whole bench thru.
But that 700W is just sick, I wonder what would be with CF system.
I had fx and two cards on my enermax, and didn't face problems with power shortage, but DC probably uses mush more.

Congrats. Very nice score.

[gubben]

Congrats , next time i hope to be invited

We measure a power input of over 700W into the OCZ 520W PSU during the Mother Nature test in 3DMark03.

lol how did OCZ handle that 700W? Maybe using 2 PSUs would give better stability and results since 700W sounds way too much for ocz.

Anyway results are awesome

[Kasparz]

Kiwi, its INPUT power, NOT efficient output power.

[Kinc]

Congrats , next time i hope to be invited

You are allways invited

[zbogorgon]

ocz, if it is 65% efficient, it would give 455W, that should handle.

Really nice guys

[[XC] moddolicous]

Really nice scores, especially the car high. What intel needs now is a GOOD crossfire board. Anyone know if DFI has any plans to make an enthusiast socket 775 crossfire board?

[2fink]

wow, great scores with the x1900xtx, any crossfire-results coming soon?

Kiwi, its INPUT power, NOT efficient output power.

I must have missed that

Gotta love powerstreams

[metro.cl]

maybe you should get a better psu or 2 psu together you might get higher clocks.

Great benching

[afireinside]

congrats guys! That's some nice stuff. Try dual PSU next time. Even though you're not maxing the OCZ you really need 2. It caused long term instability when it was put under a heavy load on my daily PC. Air out the back was hot and smelled like it was about to explode. If you bench again try dual PSU it may help with the clocks.

[neoman]

OMG :O nice CPU u got there. 3k CPU score in 06 is sick !

[Shinuza]

Nice guys, very nice

[Pedro Rocha]

50k with Netburst is really a


Congratulations to Crotale, Kinc and Incido

What this score with WinXP or Win2k??

With proper tweaked OS the first place of 2001 is possible with a 955XE - who will be done the first one to do achieve that ? - Croate or Fugger ?
The bets are open

[ZX7891]

neither AMD is still king

[hipro5]

neither AMD is still king

In 2k1.?.......I don't think so.......


Nice power Crotale....!.....

[dinos22]

wow thanks for a good show.....6.3GHz dual core benching power....that's great

wonder if yonah will do OK..............anyone get them yet with those new mobos

[Kunaak]

if only someone would crossfire some X1900's and a 975 chipset, with a 6+ ghz 955XE... then it would start to get real interesting
2003 and 2005 scores would start dropping left and right.
been a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time since I seen intel on top.
kinda nice to have a change again.
