The August Ambush

[Witchdoctor]

Here is a place to post and talk about your August exsploits on the Bot.
I am on Vacation but will be returning to action this month.....

It is go time and time to bring it on in an effort to secure 6th in the world standings ......

Let do this ......

&

Best of luck to everyone ......... :clapping:

Go OCA !!!

[Splave]

in!

[HITandRUN]

I'll give my best considering the summer is still around and there is lots of activities with the kids! ;)

[Kal-EL]

invested........

[69_Goat]

I'll keep on with my stealthy, puma-like attack. :D

[Patch]

480, 5870 Lightning, 275 lightning, 8800 GTS 512.......all 4 of these are gold worthy if I ever find a CPU that can rise to the task (and maybe get somewhere in 2D realm).

Hope it happens in August.

[thebanik]

Got my 980X from RMA(have XPower and Classified to test it on), i5 680 from Splave(have UD4P and G80), Got GPU Pot for 480GTX, though met with a small accident, right hand not usable sort of for a week or so, after that hoping to do some damage.....

[Splave]

holy shit what happen?

[thebanik]

holy shit what happen?

aah!!!! freak accident I wud say, was planning to have a nice evening but Beer not good for my health, :blush:, had a few beer bottles in freezer, they broke inside it, was removing it when the bottle came completely apart and was falling, tried to use my right hand to stop the glass from falling, and cut my nerve in the right hand palm....blood gushed out like anything, lost almost 2-3 litres of it. 12 stitches, though all this was around a week back, its healing but still cant tilt a dewar yet....

[Witchdoctor]

Dam bro that sounds feirce .... :ohcrap:
Take it easy man ..... cooler and ice recommended .............. :thumbsup:

[Hondacity]

thats a lot of blood...get bettar soon!

[DOM]

have a hot babe pour for you ;) and stream it live :laughing:

Ouch! As much as I like gladiators benching, don't push it Banik. You want the tendons and nerves to heal well in that area.

have a hot babe pour for you ;) and stream it live :laughing:

Now that's just a good idea in general.

Kal and Rogue, how about you two make use of those beaches and put together a "Girls of Overclocking" calendar?

[DOM]

so are those b-stock 8800gts 320 640mb cards any good from evga ? im thinking of getting one of each and volt modding them but wanted to know if there any good with the extra volts ?

but i also need to find the plate for the g80 core for the wb

lol idk where its at.. but i know its some where in the house.... i hope

so this month im going to try benching 4 cards and if the guy wants to trade for some 775 stuff ill have two more cards

[Kal-EL]

I guess banik drew first blood?

[punx223]

i just took #1 spot for sli 460's does that count? :thumbsup:

[Kal-EL]

i just took #1 spot for sli 460's does that count? :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:Lets hope you can hold onto it :good:

[punx223]

:thumbsup:Lets hope you can hold onto it :good:

ive got a backup.... and mind you thats on air too

[Witchdoctor]

i just took #1 spot for sli 460's does that count? :thumbsup:



Nice work .... :thumbsup: but I think it is early in the 460 game yet my friend ....

May need some pots to hold on to it ...... or are they ahhhh special 460's ..... :laughing:


Welcome to the team Karma ....... :thumbsup:

it is great getting new members here commited to the same goal as we all are

Hope all is well between you and your friends over at Pure and no hard feelings insue .... :)

Let the Ambush in August comence .... will be working the kinks out of the 960 on the SS this week for some weekend dice action .... grabbing 40 to 50 Pounds Saturday morning and going till it's gone .... 2D up first followed by what ever 3D I can get in as well

Thanks Gerry .... hoping to put this bad boy to good use ..........:clapping:

[DOM]

so are those b-stock 8800gts 320 640mb cards any good from evga ? im thinking of getting one of each and volt modding them but wanted to know if there any good with the extra volts ?

but i also need to find the plate for the g80 core for the wb

lol idk where its at.. but i know its some where in the house.... i hope

anyone ??

also whats a better card to get a msi 9800gt
or msi 8600gt ?

[Witchdoctor]

Here ya go Dom ... not sure about b-stock GPU's

but this is a comprehensive list of GPU's based on their current max boint potencial

ao the higher it is on the list the better return you will get reguardless of where you place ..... sort of Boint for the buck , if it were

http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2509

[DOM]

yeah i seen the list thats why i want to get the 8800gts ;)

but im trading my e6400 and 2x2gb ocz ram on dont use for the 9800gt + $40 for me but i know the 8600gt has more points so idk to ask if he would trade the 8600gt and +$60

wut do you think ? or u can send me ur cards when ur done lmao

cuz im using sli 9600gso to game right now lol cuz if i get the 9800gt was going to sli it with the 8800gt

[Witchdoctor]

you can get 8600GT for next to nothing .... just look around a bit

[karmakazi]

Wow even the posts where i joined the team are edited out. this community might not have any jackfruit members, but they sure are letting some jackfruits influence what goes on here.:thumbdown:

[Kal-EL]

I removed the posts as it no longer pertained to the purpose of this thread which is our August assault on hwbot.

OCA isn't interested in getting into another drama fest with Team PURE or anyone else for that matter. We'll revisit the situation at a later time.

Looks like PCGames Hardware picked up a few members amognst some new submissions. They are hot on our asses

http://hwbot.org/rankings/teams/worldwide

[Hondacity]

interesting....

also teamxs moved one place or some team went down..i'm not sure...

[Patch]

Relentless hardware fiends.

[Splave]

plus we have been quite inactive ;)

[FACE]

Yes. inactive indeed.... Time to stretch and blow the dust off the ss... all I need is to get my backplate in the mail and I'm back on. :thumbsup:

[DOM]

i got me 8800GTS 320&640 and made a loop for single gpu today cuz i only have one gpu block

[Witchdoctor]

My 960 sucks ...................... :shock:

POS can't even carry the tool box of my old (B) batch 920)

hitting the wall @ only 4.958 Ghz .... running -44.5C

Pretty much treating it like the 920 and only 2:8 divider so the memory is not even being pushed ....

Played with it for about 3 hours yesterday .... was unable to outdue my 920 on SPI and PI fast .... but hoping for more clock ... hoping to get some settings dialed in by weeks end or my Saturday dice session will need to be moved back :ohcrap:

what am I missing to all you 960 owners out there ?

How does this chip besides the multi and it being a Vcore slut differ from the 920 ?

Thanks

[Hondacity]

my evga was capped @ 4.9ghz before i realized the mobo had bad condensation at the back...

[Splave]

higher multi higher voltage

[DOM]

i would try the higher multi my 920 can get 5+GHz on the ss but only in slow mode

[Witchdoctor]

higher multi higher voltage


you arn't kiding my friend 1.56 to boot at 4.75 ....

1.58 for 4.9 .....

afraid to put 1.6 in it as I can ill afford to lose a $ 539.99 chip ......... :shock:

may roll with 1.61 on Dice and see what happens .....

MAy have to make a road trip ot the MC for a 920 B ... if they have any

So far not impressed with the 960 .... but who knows ... I will keep working it and see if I can find something it likes other than insane vtt and vcore :Dizzy:

[Witchdoctor]

my evga was capped @ 4.9ghz before i realized the mobo had bad condensation at the back...


Impossible on my set up .... did pull the chilly three times to make sure I was getting good contact and to see if any water or ice was forming in the socket ....

not even a drop or crystal .... I wish there were as that would be easier to fix than just a lame ass 500 $$$ A batch POS intel carbon copy hunk of effin crap that my old e8600 could eat for lunch ... ....

end rant

Not discruntled in the least .... :blink:

[Hondacity]

id rather ln2 @ -44c you're lucky to get 5ghz...

[Witchdoctor]

I was benching @ 5+ Ghz with my 920 for $ 199.99 at those temps ....

Have to be missing something or this chip is just a total POS ... one of the two

Hell my memory with a 2:8 divider is laying on the beach in a hammock sipping a Mia Tia ;)

[ReverendMaynard]

id rather ln2 @ -44c you're lucky to get 5ghz...

cough***bullshit***cough :)

Check my 920 runs on the bot, all on DICE, all ranging between -32C to - 46C load.

WD, you can't approach that chip like a 920. Toss what you know regarding high bclcks and use that damned multiplier :) 2:10 you should be be raping.

I hear ya bro ... have been using the max multi ... I will hit up 2:10 and see if that makes a diff .... I was holding it back till I got stable clocks to rule out mem as a road block .... you think that may be the root of the problem ?

going at it again tommorow night in hopes for getting some Dice settings for the weekend on the V1 ..... :thumbsup:

I didn't think it would be world changing but was hoping for mere 100 more Mhz out of a $ 500.00 chip ....

Your right though bro I have been trowing my 920 settings at it up and down

just seems to love vtt and vcore to dangerous proportions though ....

1.587 fried my 920 at 5132 ... got validation before it gave up the ghost though ..... :thumbsup:

[ReverendMaynard]

200*25 woulb be a good start brother. make sure your ram can handle 1000mhz.

[Hondacity]

1.587 fried my 920 at 5132 ... got validation before it gave up the ghost though ..... :thumbsup:

what was your vtt? and temps @ that validation?

[Witchdoctor]

Yea will give it a go Rev .... see what happens at 2:10 as I tryied that with 2:8 and failed at many voltage settings ... hope it opens like a door for some BOT rapage
Thinking if I can get 5.1 on the SS dialed in may be looking at mid 5.2's or maybe 5.3 for validation on Dice .... and 5.1 benchable 3D would be worth the cash

PC Games is hot on our ass now........ :ohcrap:


Honday for validtion I was using 1.65 vtt :scared: 1.588 Vcore on a B batch ....
Proved to be to much for it to bare ..... :shock:

But in all fainess I pounded that thing two months straight almost everyday work 3D hardware bonts ... that 920 was a monster

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1114009

[Hondacity]

vtt @ 1.65v @ what temps?....and what vdimm?

[Witchdoctor]

I have a strong SS for validation it held solid at -46C

@ 4.95 for 1024 Prime it takes a huge hit though ... have seen it as high as 13C

3D typically hangs in around -35C for CPU on Vantage and 06 .... the rest barely tough it

1.68 on the vdimm ... the Storms are particularly strong at 7-8-7-21 1T well within the specs at 2:8

[DOM]

is that the evap temp ? mine doesnt drop that low when i ran wprime on the 920 i think it was almost 1.6v the lowest i seen mine drop it in vantage with the 980x it did -40,39

[Witchdoctor]

yea that is the evap .... so it is very subjective ..

[DOM]

was it tuned for 300watt load ?

[Splave]

did some i550 benching, 6pts ftw :)

[Witchdoctor]

not sure ... bought it second hand.. but does well on i7's


nice work Al ... :thumbsup:

hope to follow suit once I get this figured out ..............

edit..

just checked out the bot ... rolling up on 2K bro ..... Sick man

1,900.10 http://www.overclockaholics.com/img/country/us.png Splave (http://www.overclockaholics.com/community/user/splave)

[DOM]

yeah it doesnt seem like its not tuned for a 300w

also do we have volt mods on the 8800gts 320,640mb cards ? i hope i get them this week so i can hook up the ss to the 980 :D

[DOM]

Is a reference 4870 for $75 a good deal im thinking of getting it :taunt:

[Patch]

Yeah, that's a pretty good deal. People are still trying to get $100+ for them.

[DOM]

i pmed him and wife going to be pissed when ups gets here tomorrow with the 8800gts's :laughing:

I'll be hitting some hardware stuff this week! :thumbsup:

[Patch]

Nice work Rogue!

My new 980x (3013A489) isn't horrible, but with yet another -120 coldbug I won't be able to improve on my old 3003B (#2) stuff.

Now I'm suspecting my mobo is causing the bugging, but this R3E has a better CB/CBB than my classy 762 does.....

[HITandRUN]

Nice work Rogue!

Yeah I saw that as well! Keep pushing Rogue! ;)

[Bones]

Sup guys?

Haven't dropped in for awhile and it's good to see the alliance going at it.

As for me, been doing some things as of late and it's getting time to set things up for some runs. Work this time of year is murder on my time to do anything but things should be slacking off to a point in the next few weeks.

Keep at it guys, you'll get 'em yet.

Heya Bones, thats great news buddy, I'm calling Ln2 on this mysterious "things of late" that you've been doing :cool3:

[DOM]

re-ran the 8800gt today it sucks air vs water the same clocks :( 980 on ss but did get some more points :D

[Splave]

awesome dom

[DOM]

thanks running vantage right now

might need to do a new install cuz got a higher score on a lower clock cpu/gpu lol

hope i get 9k + its almost done crap didnt :(

im going to run the 8800gts 320 need to rma the 640 was a crap b-stock but see what scores i can get with gpu on air :D

WTH they both decided to take a crap on me :thumbdown:

[Patch]

Tried to make somethin happen with a 7600GT. But even with vmem hardmod the memory is such super crapola I couldn't do much.

Then tried to revive a 9600GT to no avail. I bought it dead on the off chance it could be revived or repaired. Was hoping for a blown cap or something I could do easy.....no luck.

[Kal-EL]

Nice work DOM ;)

your nuts buying a dead card.....nuts in a good way :D

il look for something dead too and try my luck

[DOM]

so has anyone rma b-stock from evga

i want my money back lol i dont want another pair of crappy cards i knew when i ran atitool to scan for aritfacts
one had a dot but went away with newer drivers but its more broke now and the other was so colorful when loading windows but again drivers fixed it but its dead now didnt even get to play with them :(

if they do refund me... anyone know where i can find some cheap boint cards ;)

[Hondacity]

bstock i think has a 90day warranty

[Witchdoctor]

check out the FS sections at EOCF and OCN ....

Nice work man .... :thumbsup:

[DOM]

bstock i think has a 90day warranty
yeah they do i talk to someone not to long ago said i needed to rigester them online then they can see what they can do
check out the FS sections at EOCF and OCN ....

Nice work man .... :thumbsup:

thks

yeah i need to look on there again

[Kal-EL]

Doh, http://hwbot.org/rankings/teams/

[FACE]

Wow, they are getting really close! Good thing I am getting back on the horse ;)

Testing out some light 5870 benching tonight. That'll amount to something I'm sure... :thumbsup:

[DOM]

well i sould be getting a refund so 100 bucks on some boint cards if i find any 4 sale

and face thanks for beating my 06 score on the 8800gt lol i tryed to get 20k but just got 19.4k :( i hate messing with drivers in W7 i can run 850 core but just 837 in xp

but i still got mine hooked up to he ss so ill be trying for some more boints :thumbsup:

[FACE]

;) haha! I was wondering if you noticed that... I gotta get back on that card too. That was an old screeny I had for a couple months.


Well, looks like tonight is an os install night... I couldn't break 40k on '05 with these installs and a 5870 if my life depended on it... :thumbdown:

[DOM]

u even suck more lol

but damn i could of got some boints with those 88gts i didnt want any thing with b stock after that lol they dies with out trying first for me haha

[HITandRUN]

Looks like we will have some 8800GT contest here. I'll test mine tomorrow morning. I hope i can get 1K out of it! :blink: ;)

If this board is a good as I hope it is, then my 775 pwning begins this weekend. Gotta knock the rust off and start reading through old threads to get some fsb love flowing through me again.

[Hondacity]

will have a board tomorrow...i don't think its worth points though...lol

Hey Face I had this board for some 775 love and got rid of it again. I had some crazy stuff going on passed 1.7V. Also the voltage steps were big after 1.7V at least on the first BIOS they had.


Also I did some 8800GT testing today and I can pass AM3 at 1000/1000 1.5V @ 5C. The memory sucks on this card and 1000 is pretty much the end of it but the core rocks for sure. I'll freeze this thing and give it a little more V! :D

[FACE]

The Qimonda ram on those cards hates volts most of the time. Sometimes you need to actually lower the volts below stock for mhz gains. The plus side is that the 8800gt gpu performance scales really nice with small bumps in RAM freq. If done right, you should be maxing out the shaders and ram out around the some time. A 1ghz+ 8800gt is pure win-meat.

[DOM]

hey guys does yout 88gt volts go up during load like mine ? its goes up like almost .1v lol most cards i seen go up like .05v during load

but i was thinking putting the rad in ice water well that help ? i never done it before lol

[FACE]

anything colder than the air/water at ambient temps helps. :thumbsup:

I have modded and benched a few 8800gt's, and each of them acted differently. Some jumped .05, others jumped almost .1, and one barely jumped at all. The one that didn't bump up under load clocked the worst, and was sold promptly. A .1 jump shouldn't hurt you too bad until it switches back to 2d idle... that can really throw shit into unstable land. Use Riva to lock the card into 3d perf. mode. :thumbsup:

[DOM]

cuz im at 1.5v or so and it jumps to 1.6v lol

but think im going to need to go to the hardware store to get some tubing so i dong have it all bunched up next to the bench table cuz all my tygon has been used and been cut from other loops i done in the past

[FACE]

I'm a little fuzzy on the exact number, but iirc these stop scaling a little after 1.4v on the core with rare exception. I remember clearly though that after I reached a certain "threshold" I was peaking, and any push in volts past that point really hampered my scores...

Most definitely not a "blast and win" chip... gotta find the sweet spot.

Might want to try this: I got that last score by adjusting the vr (VERY carefully) during the bench to control the voltage swing. I was only on cold air, so when I was at my best voltage for max air clocks the load jump would kill the bench, or if set to hit the peak w/ the load jump My scores would drop too... But, by setting the vr to the "best" voltages, and then tuning (once again VERY carefully) during the bench, I was able to control the swing. It takes a little patience, but pays off when you hit it just right... I have no clue how many times I ran that bench over and over to get that score... should have spent that kind of time on the rest of my gpu's... :blush:

[DOM]

wut i found out when you hit a wall on air the cooler you got the room/gpu the more you could get th core to oc at same volts but i think hats ith any gpu XD

but this i wut im thinking getting a big big cooking pot i already have put the pad in the middle fill it with water let it freeze and run that 50/50 antifreeze cu i was goin to use a bag of ice but its going to melt anyways

also looks like i might also be getting a 4870 :D

[Hondacity]

awesome work dom!!!

thats alot of hwbot pointage

[DOM]

so is my idea on the loop a good one ? would lik some feed back ;) im going crazy alwas talking to myself lmao wife always looks at me like WTF

oh yeah forgot i also got and ice chest and those igloo jugs but i dont they would fit in the ice box to freeze cuz its not a big ice box but i need to get he gpu colder

[Hondacity]

whats the temps of your tap water?

[DOM]

room temp and im just running distilled with pt nuke

but the ss warms up the room after a while so looking to get he most on water cooling on the gpu

[Hondacity]

tap water...from the sink...:D i get 10c water from mine...

[DOM]

oh lmao idk i never checked its already in the high 90F's here and like 70-80F's at night and plus its not close to a sink

so the rad in ice should work good ?

[Hondacity]

rad and ice..yep...get an ice box..the cold will stay there longer..

[DOM]

what brand and pcb color is your 8800gt face ?

im gettin 9800gt and 8600gt saturday :D and does the asus dark night 4870 let you add volts with a bios flash anyone know going to get it for $85

[FACE]

I have a few... all green pcb, all evga.. the best 8800gt by far has to be the akimbo. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

When comparing them side by side, the akimbo has better pwm hardware, or at least more of it. the sercret to success.. more stuff on the pcb.. :Dizzy:

The 4870's should all be software tunable w/ volts.. ati tray tools should let you set the volts to whatever you want. ;)

[69_Goat]

AfterBurner works with 4870X2's.

Should work for the 4870's as well.

[FACE]

AfterBurner works with 4870X2's.

Should work for the 4870's as well.

yeah, but I think there's a voltage limit on some cards... ati tray tools is wide open so far on every ati card I have used... :thumbsup: (Neuromancer pointed that out to be a few months back)

[Witchdoctor]

Finally have the oppertunity to bench

After messing with this 960 for two weeks I have come to the conclusion it is a total POS

But have decided to just roll with it at crap clocks ..... :scared:

running the 7950X2 this morning. If I get done I will move onto the 9800GX2 this after noon ... here is my best 01 result :blush:

[Kal-EL]

She a voltage pig or something witchy?

[Witchdoctor]

yea you ain't kidding ....

used to get 5.1 with this voltage with my B batch 920 ..... :shock:

this thing just sucks .... if it dies it dies ....

[Kal-EL]

Don't think it will die but it might kick some ass on Ln2. Lemme know if you wanna chip swap later 3580 (good on voltage).

[Witchdoctor]

will do .......... :thumbsup:

Reminds me of the 2900xt i bought... It's a winner, but smelled like maple syrup when I unpacked it... :laughing:

[DOM]

i cleaned them with alcohol they still smell but not as bad, but im not a smoker and hate the way they smell, it makes my tummy hurt :laughing:

okay i looked but didnt find any volt mods on the msi cards :wtfsign:

[FACE]

Are they non-reference? Typically the 9800gt mods are pretty much the same as teh 8800gt... non reference will ahve to mapped out by our mod guru's...

Get a few good pics of the controller chips and create a thread in the volt mod section. Someone will know where the data sheet is and how to read it. :thumbsup:

I finally got a little bench time and pulled a decent '03 .... after failing miserably at Vantage.

Looks like my "cherry" card isn't so cherry these days, but still managed 1220 core.

[FACE]

Right on, man. I'm glad to see you back at it! :thumbsup:

1200 core is still pretty damned awesome... You just gotta shake the dust off and you'll get back up to where you were ;)

I had a fail session tonight. Only ended up with 1 sub for 5 whole boints. :blush:
Tomorrow's another day.

Lotta extreme guys are saying its the bomb, but seeing as I don't trust alot of people, I dunno, specs look good and I think Johnny Guru tested it already.
