The Return of DrNip to Benching

[DrNip]

Pics and screen shots coming soon...

Here is what I have on my plate:


775 Socket - E6600, Q6600, E8600, 430 Conroe, 347, 352's, 356's, 2140, 2160, 2180 - Foxcon Blackops X48, Asus P5B Deluxe

1156 Socket - i3 530, i3 550 KO, i5 655k, i5 750 - GIGABYTE GA-H55N-USB3, MSI P55-GD80

1366 Socket - Plans are to revisit i7 920 road again. I have alot of improvements there to be made as all previous runs were done when I was a noob on the platform.

AM2/AM3 Socket - Sempron 140, 1090T - ASUS Crosshair IV Formula, Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P


Nothing but 2D benching going on here. Plan on picking up an e8400 and a q6600 as well. Still need to pick up a better PSU. Still waiting on Gemini pot!

Pretty much just trying to build back up my hardware collection.

[Hondacity]

i suggest the hx850....its very good...

sell the h55...not worth for points ...

using ln2 drnip?

I have an ax 850. Looking for 1000 watt range PSU. Prolly Silverstone. H55 is a future build and all I have until I can score the Asus. DICE for now as I sold my dewar last summer. Plan on getting one within the next 6 months, well I hope if I can find one that the price is right. Working on a shoe string budget now a days. Don't have it like I use too. Need to set up a DrNip benching fund! lol

Nipp is got a long way to go :D

drnip

no need to get another psu...i think you're golden with the ax850....hardware tactics is very expensive....i see you have cpus....rams and motherboards and psu...i think its time you get ln2 :D

seen your old benching submission...pretty impressive..

[OC Maximus]

I'm in need of a good psu myself. Running an hx620w right now. Eying that ax850w though.

OCM :thumbsup:

Bring it Doc ................. :thumbsup:

ahem tpq oc in FS section ;)

[Kal-EL]

Looks like we're gonna be heading into October with a "Lord of the Rings" theme. First wtih Gollem (Chroll) and now with the Return of the Drnip (King).

:D

:D

ahhhh, man... I was hoping for a porntober theme due to the epic Ron Jeremy post. That or coctober... rofl

Nip! ...bout effing time! I've got a p45 board here and would love to have some s775 battles with you... :fencing:

Dice is readily available to me here... but if you are going ln2 I can scrounge up the cash... Looking at your chips list now and scanning ebay for win sauce....

[DrNip]

Only way I can go LN2 right now if I make the short drive over to dent's place, which is in the works. For every other day it will be DICE. Need to score me a better P55 mobo. My AX850 is in my AMDer but may or will have to swap it out for this OCZ 500 watter I have laying around. I'll figure it all out and be on the grind for the month of October. Kinda ironic I stepped out of the game last October just to pick right back up on it this October. :D

[Dentlord]

You are gonna have to pick a couple of things to focus on each session, waay too much time thawing out and swapping chips and re-freezing the pot to bench a ton of cpu's in one sitting.

We should have 4 cpu pots between us by the time we get together though so that will help.
Get 3 or 4 motherboards ready to go at once and line 'em up!

I have 775, 1156, 1366, and am3 boards all ready that we can use, as well as what boards you bring. Should be a blast (till we run out of cold sauce)!!

[DrNip]

Oh for sure we need a game plan. No way in hell getting it all done. Whatever we do I would like to see both of us get a 7ghz+ under our belts. If that is all we get done I will be satisfied. Hooking up the i5 750 right now that came in to see what she is about.

[DOM]

dr.dent in the making ;)

good point there!
:thumbsup:
i though about it when i was insulating the board..

[DrNip]

Not too impressed with preliminary results on i5 750. Maybe I am too spoiled by golden chips. It does 4.4ghzish at 1.375 v. Might be my mobo though. Might drop it in a build I am doing today and pick up another. Problem with that is I stand the chance of getting a real loser. What to do.

[Chuchnit]

iirc that's pretty damn good for 750's on air.

whatever, man.... you know playing the hardware lotto is just as fun as winning... ;)

Sometimes I think it's just as addictive, too.

[Hondacity]

lynfield @ 4.4ghz on air is pretty damn good...

[DrNip]

Ya'll are prolly right. Might have to keep it. My luck the next one would prolly only do 4ghz on air! Then I would be real salty.

[DrNip]

Nothing much going on here but some air testing at 210 BCLK 32m SuperPi. Working on my efficiency as I'm a lil rusty.

1680 MHz RAM
347834793480

2100MHz RAM
348134823483

[DrNip]

E2160 on the way too now. Love them $30 ebay chips! :D

Anyone recommend a high BCLK clocking P55 mobo. Classy is out of my price range, FTW I dunno. Kinda wanting to stay away from EVGA. Asus Maximus Formula looks great but not seeing many high BCLK clocks on it at the bot. Really looking at the MSI P55-GD65 as it has hit high BCLK on the 750. I will be using it for my 550, 655k and 750.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130239

Price is right too at the egg. Like $129.99 after $30 MIR. Thoughts? Suggestions?

[Neuromancer]

No experience with 1156 so YMMV.

[DrNip]

Went with the MSI P55-GD80. :D

Switched the Corsair AX 850 out of my AMD'er with an OCZ 500 watter. 850 watter was kinda overkill in the rig. Be better put to use benching or at least for now.

EDIT: You believe I ordered the mobo today, Sunday, and just got an email from the egg saying it was shipped? On a Sunday? Didn't even know they were open today.

[DrNip]

Well had a little fun afternoon today. Dentlord stopped by and we were testing a couple of my 530's out on my MSI P55-GD80 on AIR. Damnedest thing we had ever seen was going on. I knew one of the chips was dynamite as it overclocked like a champ on my Gigabyte GIGABYTE GA-H55N-USB3 Mini ITX mobo but for some reason we couldn't get either chip to clock for shit on the MSI. One wouldn't do over 205 BCLK (4.51ghz) and the other wouldn't do over 210 BCLK (4.62ghz). We tried everything in our power but it just wasn't happening. I knew the mobo could clock well as it overclocks my 750 Lynnfield like a champ. Something about the Clarkie's it doesn't like. So I took the dynamite chip out and popped it in the Gigabyte. Mind you Dentlord was laughing and couldn't believe the size of the mobo. Kept referring to it as a bathroom tile, lol but I kept swearing by the little mobo that could. In the end we pulled this off on AIR. Room temps were roughly 76-77 degrees. 5ghz on AIR any o day feels good. Can't wait to get this chip chilly. :D

[Dentlord]

Lol that was amazing, I wouldnt have bet on that mobo getting the chip to 4ghz, let alone 5ghz!!

[Kal-EL]

Nice to see you guys teaming up like that :)

Could it be a bios issue on the other board?

[Dentlord]

Nice to see you guys teaming up like that :)

Could it be a bios issue on the other board?

Next weekend I'm bringing over some ln2 for us to play with ;)

bios could definitely be the issue, it HATED both clarkies we tried in it...

@ Nip, I got the vcore and vmch mods done on the p5b deluxe, was going to test it when I realized that I no longer own even one stick of ddr2 LOL

[DrNip]

Nice to see you guys teaming up like that :)

Dunno. It's updated to the latest BIOS. I need to pull the 655k out the wifes HTPC and see if it behaves the same way.

Damnit I was going to send you home with some and forgot! LOL I will swing some DDR2 to you tomorrow after work if you like on my way home.

[Patch]

That's good stuff guys.

[Neuromancer]

Wicked wild Nip :)

Hope my GD80 performs better...

[Chuchnit]

Congrats on the 5ghz air-cooled buddy. Nothing to sneeze at there. :thumbsup: What's even cooler is that we have two teammates getting together to bench. :)

[DrNip]

Wicked wild Nip :)

Hope my GD80 performs better...


Yeah I can't call it. Luckily I had the H55 laying around.

[HITandRUN]

Nice 5G on air there. This is a promising chip there. :D

[DrNip]

It is a nice chip. Was Superpi stable at 4.95ghz.

Working with the Blackops yesterday. Man I feel like a newb. What I could do with my Asus P5B Deluxe I couldn't with the Blackops. Kinda reminds me of the MSI/Gigabyte dilemma I was talking about a few post up. I gots to figure this mobo out before the weekend or else I will have to put it off until another time. If not I have plenty other hardware to bench. :D

[Hondacity]

any 32nm @ 1.6v can do 5ghz.....

msi board...prolly has some issues...

nonethelesss grats on core series 5ghz

[DrNip]

Finally picked up a Sempron 140 today. Supposedly it is one that can unlock to two cores. Also scored on a q6600 and e8600. Had a Malay 530 in sites but wasn't wanting to pay over $90 for it used. I was in until then. Guess I will have to deal with my Costa Rica chip. Also finally got my Asus P5B Deluxe modded. Thanks Dent! :D

[Dentlord]

Not a problem! Do you think we need the memory volt mod as well??

[DrNip]

Dunno. Prolly wouldn't hurt if you could do it.

[DrNip]

And this right here is why I have been trying to get my hands on this TaiOS. :D


210 BCLK, non-tweaked, no copy waza, nothing. Straight install and run. cas 7 timings.

8m 26.797s
3571


210 BCLK, tweaked, copy waza, cas 6 timings

8m 45.469s
3572

What more proof do you need? Download the OS and get to running and rerunning your 32m's! Can anyone say efficient out the gate? Wonder what she will do tweaked a little and copy waza? :D

[Chuchnit]

Holy moly my OS sucks!!! Huge difference. Freeze that damn 655k and run some 32m already!!!!

[rickss69]

Any of the Gigabyte micro mb's are great for 1156 and cheap as well. http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1009941_rickss69_superpi_32m_core_i3_530_7min_48se c_47ms

[Neuromancer]

WOW

Winner!

[DrNip]

Had a 7.703ghz but the file had a bad checksum so I had to settle for this. Not to bad. I said forget 6ghz, I want 7ghz. :D

[Hondacity]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooowwwwww

impressive....the return definitely is a return :D

[DrNip]

Too damn easy. Was booting at 7ghz into Windows. :D

[Hondacity]

really..danngg...no cb?

lga775 is partly last after i do my core i series benches..

[DrNip]

No cb. -150 cbb.

[Hondacity]

dya used the rocket base?

[DrNip]

Yeppers. MSI mobo was a complete fail. No go. Going get the Asus Maximus ready and prolly the little Gigabyte that could. Also going to get the 1090t bumping.

[Hondacity]

nice...i think its colder...

splave.

have you tried the rocket base for your 8ghz? i think the rocket base is colder than the original f1ee.

[DrNip]

1090t was a complete waste. Had CPU-z validations all the way up to 6.3ghz but for some reason everyone is rejected. :( Something with CPU-z was pooched.

[DOM]

1090t was a complete waste. Had CPU-z validations all the way up to 6.3ghz but for some reason everyone is rejected. :( Something with CPU-z was pooched.
did you put in an email ? im not sure but i think there so many times you could use the same email in a period of time

[DrNip]

I'mthinking because maybe the year was set wrong in my OS. I can't call it. I do know that Lynnfield is a waste of time and money.

750 = FAILSAUCE
875 = FAILSAUCE

[Neuromancer]

1090t was a complete waste. Had CPU-z validations all the way up to 6.3ghz but for some reason everyone is rejected. :( Something with CPU-z was pooched.

Happens a lot with AMD.

Best bet is to down clock the cores in AOD then bring them back up for validation.

(At least that was what worked for me to get a genuine validation in the past..)

[DrNip]

I dunno. I had about 10 different validations from 5ghz to this and everyone were rejected.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1426209

3591

[Splave]

nvm

[DrNip]

I submitted it. Some of the peeps over there had valid submissions and some didn't. Just looked back at my pics. I had 14 AMD CPUz and all 14 were rejected today. WTF

[Neuromancer]

Its a problem with CPUz code

It has been happening for years, and they just dont care.

[DrNip]

Well I feel better now. It doesn't feel like I jacked 2 hours off on the 1090t setup today for nothing. :D

Just picked up a 356 off the bay today for $17 shipped. FTW and 8ghz!

[Dentlord]

Thanks for having me at your house today Nipster, I had a great time :)

Too bad Lynnfield didn't work out though, those chips are horrid!!

[DrNip]

Yeah it was a blast even though we failed miserably on Lynnfield. Fook Lynnfield! LN2 was fun as hell and can't wait to do it again.

Up next:

Blackops and Q6600 prepped and ready to go. :thumbsup:

[GeorgeStorm]

Thats a massive difference
Where on earth did you get that OS? And why isn't everyone using it? :P

[karmakazi]

nice stuff Chuch glad everything worked out for ya. 7.7ghz is a really nice one! Might want to try it on a different board and see if theres anything to be gained?

[DrNip]

Been eyeballing a P5e3 Premium but it is $225. Waiting to see if one pops up on the bay.

[DrNip]

I officially am putting the 750 on hold and in the wifes HTPC. I can't call it with this chip. I have spent days jacking with it just for some days being able to get 4.7ghz on air but then only 4.2ghz on LN2? WTF? I have tried multiple mobos just to pooch my little Gigabyte that could out of pure frustration and ripping a mod off the mobo just to take a few caps with the rip. Whoops. I will revisit this chip on down the line but I can' take anymore of it for now.

[DrNip]

Up next we have the Q6600 paired up with the Blackops with a bottle of my special moonshine in the middle. Everything is prepped and ready for when the baby goes to bed tomorrow night. All 2D benches will be hit except PCMrk05 and that is only because my biggest GPU is a 5450! ROFL Looking to at least pick up on 100 hardware boints. Hoping I can set aside every Friday night for a session. :keeporder:

3666

[HITandRUN]

Good luck bro! Looks like you are ready to go. :ohcrap:

[DOM]

nice set up you got there :thumbsup:

when i was benching in the moring, both of my girls woke up and where there with me but in the way lol

but winter time looks like im moving to the garage cuz my ac doesnt blow cold air after it gets so cold out side the heat turns on pos ac

nice!!! i want a bottle of that moonshine please..lol

[Chuchnit]

Trav, you got that blackops figured out or just gonna wing it on dice?

[DrNip]

Just going to wing it like I did the AMDer on LN2. I like a good challenge. Will be on DICE.

[Dentlord]

Dice is plenty cold for the Q, itll be all about fsb limit, I hope the BlackOps handles a quad better than my REX does...

[DrNip]

I hope the Blackops can handle my noob arse on it. :confused2:

[Chuchnit]

Dice is plenty cold for the Q, itll be all about fsb limit, I hope the BlackOps handles a quad better than my REX does...

The blackops was supposed to be the Quad killa. Too bad the E8600 came along and stole its thunder.

I hope the Blackops can handle my noob arse on it. :confused2:

I would say it will be like riding a bike, but the bops is supposed to be a difficult board to clock with.

[DrNip]

Well we are going to see come tonight. Anything has got to be better than what I experienced when trying to overclock that 750!

[Chuchnit]

Well we are going to see come tonight. Anything has got to be better than what I experienced when trying to overclock that 750!

lol you will get it man. Any idea on what this Q6600 is capable of?

[DrNip]

Nope I sure don't. Can't be that hard. Crank the volts and then crank the FSB, right? LOL :wtf:

Even if I only get a 4.2ghz overclock across the board that is worth around 9 points per 2D bench. Over 21,000 peeps have submitted this chip to the bot! I hoping to at least get 4.5ghz. That sounds weird. I'm use to getting that on air now a days! ROFL

[Chuchnit]

IIRC, one of the largest bitches about the Bops was the memory compatibility. You might need a set of some micron D9GTR's if the elpida doesn't act nice.

[Dentlord]

4.5ghz or bust! :thumbsup:

[GeorgeStorm]

The q6600 is a great chip for boints.
And dents right, all about the FSB wall, hoping to get a bit more cold and rebench mine :)
And since you're on DI, you should be beating my scores :P

[DrNip]

IIRC, one of the largest bitches about the Bops was the memory compatibility. You might need a set of some micron D9GTR's if the elpida doesn't act nice.

Got both. ;)

[DrNip]

So far 440 FSB / 3.96ghz and it was a bitch to get to that! SetFSB doesn't work. I used the two generatorsB to work. Thank you Jesus!peeps were talking about on the net but no worky. Sucks as I was going to rely on SetFSB but now I have to use the BIOS. :(

EDIT: LOL, Got SetFSB to work! Thank you Jesus!

[DOM]

4.5+ :P

so are you setting all the volts in the bios or auto ftw :)

i wann do some dice/ln2 :(

i was trying to find places that sell ln2 it was all fail lol

only airgas i could find

[DrNip]

Setting the volts my man. Sure ain't no easy overclocking core i3,5,7 platform. So far 4.2ghz.

[DOM]

when i oced the x3350 aka q9450 i set most to auto help alot lol

[DrNip]

That's all she has on my setup.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1434504

3678

Moving on to other 2D benches.

[Dentlord]

Good work on that Q, should get you plenty of 2d hardware bointage!

[DrNip]

Damn OS borked on me and now I'm having to reinstall it. WTF!

[DrNip]

Results are in. Couldn't get one of my OS's to load and couldn't get the TaiServer to jive for some reason with cas 7 timings so had to run my SuperPi 32m at cas 8. Needed LN2 as I believe this chip had way more in her but DICE just wasn't getting it done. Good enough for 100.9 hardware boints. Mobo took about 45 minutes of getting use to but then after that it was on. Fairly easy to overclock and was using my Hyper Elipda RAM. No CPU-z isn't picking up on the volts correctly as I am using a 1.75 multiplier on it. Volts were really 1.7-1.8ish :D

36803681
36823683
3684

[GeorgeStorm]

Some nice results. Looking forward to LN2, what other voltages were you running?

[DrNip]

Anywhere from:
1.55-1.75VTT!!! LOL
1.55-1.65 NB
1.625 SB
Skew clocks I left at 0. Tried 100, 200 and 300 but 0 netted me the highest FSB. I prolly could have tweaked some of the volts down but had limited time. I will try the chip again one day on LN2 and will do this.

[Dentlord]

Awesome, nice 100 boint night! :thumbsup:

[GeorgeStorm]

Yeah, defo worth having another go with it
I did far better second time round with mine. Still 100 boints is 100 boints :)

[Chuchnit]

Nice going Trav. I have a feeling that the more you play with that board, the better you'll get. I'd say there is more in that CPU! Do you think using 2x1GB sticks will take a little load off the NB and allow a few more FSB?

[DrNip]

Maybe. I was only using one 2GB stick on CPUz but 4GB on the rest. Will try that next time.

[DrNip]

Say hello to my little $100 friend. :D

3686

Not as pretty or new as my Taylor-Wharton 35 LD was but hopefully she will get the job done. Found this 40 miles down the road from my house so no shipping charge. Came with no cap but I found one for $50. Dunno if it has a vacuum but will find out soon enough. 30 LD for $100, I had to roll the dice on it because if it pays off then score one for me. If it doesn't work properly then looks like my mom will have a $100 flower pot for the yard. She gets into shit like that. :D

[Hondacity]

hello ! LOL

whats the capacity on that thing? looks huge like 50L

[Patch]

Nice find!

[DrNip]

It is 23" tall x 18" wide so I say around 30-32 LD. It has a 3 1/2" mouth. I wish it had a 2" or so but still, $100. A little polish and this thing would be shining. :D

[Dentlord]

Looks awesome Nipster!! Now let us all join hands and pray for vacuum :D

[DrNip]

Question, if it doesn't have vacuum is it fixable or is it just trash?

[Dentlord]

Question, if it doesn't have vacuum is it fixable or is it just trash?

You have to send it off to be repaired, and they may or may not be able to, and it costs a ton of money.....

At least that's what I was told by a few different people where I get mine filled.

[DrNip]

Well it will have to wait. Between the cap and a torch I will be out another $100. I hate being on a budget now a days! :(

Prolly be about a month until I can get her down to the shop to get her filled and or tested.

[Dentlord]

If you wanna bring it by the hotel I can dump a couple liters in it and see if its good... I'm dying to know as well lol

[DrNip]

We can do this. Will be leaving for work in a few minutes. I can swing it by then.

[DrNip]

Well after much thought my recent dewar purchase just wasn't going to suit my needs. It was too heavy, had too big of neck and the top walls weren't made for pouring as I almost had to turn the dewar upside down to pour it. Just scored another one off ebay for $90! It is a 31 liter. A little bigger than what I needed but the price was right.
