"sNovember" lets give thanks for all things cold, pass the LN2 please

[RomDominance]

Lets lock down half the field in the MSI contest this month and move our team up two spots in the rankings in the process!

[Hondacity]

wooot nice titsle

[Splave]

may this be the most epic OCA monthly bench thread ever

[Chuchnit]

Holy shat I might have something to bench this month. Trying to pick up an 8800GTS 512. Now to go find the mods so I can order the trimmers.

[GFDuke]

230L delivery on Thurs. Lightning comes on Fri. benching it on Sat. Leaving town for a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert on Sun. be back at it on Tues.

Just pick up another 8800gt, another 8800GTX, a 5850 and i have a 8800gts 640 modded and ready to go. So my schedule is full. All of the 8800 series cards i have will be up for sale within the next few weeks. So if anyone is looking for hardware boints keep an eye on the FS threads. It will be a big list with great deals as i have a boat load of them.

[Splave]

w00t premium showed up last night at my old apartment :X rofl good thing I was there till 8:30 showing it to people. Board is brand new ftw. Also my order of freeze from OCZ went through and they remedied the shipping so that is always a route to go.

e8600 will be locked and loaded filling up my dewar tomorrow :D

[Chuchnit]

8800GTS 512 confirmed. Should have it by Friday. Gotta go out of town though.

[Patch]

That's enough 2D for a while.

My new GD80 just showed up so it's time to mod it and get back to the MOA prequalifier. Gotta figure out how to clock this 295 now.......Will also be great HW boints after the MSI thing is done.

[Chuchnit]

Patch it is a long shot but why don't you pm Kinc or Crotale at xs and see if he will hook you up with the 295 hardmods including OCP. Some of the mods were never published were they?

Nice work Patch!

[OC Maximus]

Should have a 8800 GTS 320 in the mail box waiting for me to get off my but. Currently working on picking up another 8800 series card.

OCM :thumbsup:

[RomDominance]

Tomorrow should be a big day for the Empire. Expected to arrive is: 1 x GTX480 Lightning, 1 x Kingpin aluminum tube for the gemini slayer base to make a whole'nother pot out of, 1 x GTX 285 classified I purchased for the msi 01 contest, and a new RE3 coming back from rma. All the residents of the alpha quadrant will soon feel the crushing might of the Romulan Empire...we are coming.

[DOM]

nice rom :thumbsup:

ill be getting a F1EE sat or monday :D

so looks like some ln2 next weekend forsure :scared:

so going to need some help guys :P

[OC Maximus]

Picked up a cool 60 points off the 8800 GTS 320 I got in the mail today with the stock cooler. Card is apart, little heat sinks installed, water block installed and its ready to be vmodded. Gonna see how much more I can squeeze out of her before I DICE the CPU.

OCM :thumbsup:

[ocgmj]

Nice OCM :thumbsup:

New 980x inbound. Hope it's a "B"itchin batch.

[DrNip]

Haha, my broke ass is sitting on the sideline with 3 EMPTY dewars in the garage and stacks of hardware in the computer room dying to be benched. Its like having a car but with no gas. :thumbdown:

you can bring your stuff over here :taunt:

[GeorgeStorm]

Surely it would have been more sensible to not have bought the 3rd, so you would actually have money for LN2?
And from what I can tell, this is gonna be yet another killer month for you guys! Great work already, and we are only 4 days in!

[DrNip]

Ones not mine, it is a loaner. The 1st dewar I bought a few weeks ago turned out not to be feasible so I got the loaner on loan two weeks ago. Well last week a purty dewar popped up on the radar at a stupid cheap price that I couldn't pass it up so I picked it up. That is how I ended up with three dewars in the garage. Just called the shop and it will be $50 to fill the 30 liter. Going to pick up my torch and pouring device tomorrow. I will have the newest dewar filled and off and running this month. More likely towards the end of the month.

[GFDuke]

I feel your pain man. That sucks. I've been at the total reverse end of that spectrum. I always have LN2. Around every 2-3 weeks they come and fill me up with another 230L. And i've been in a slump with hardware, sometimes 3-4 weeks and i just watch my gauge on my tank go from 230L full to empty with maybe two or three bench sessions out of it. Or just wasting it on hardware that fails. Its like having gas and no car. How much for the LN2 in your area.

[Patch]

No more renting tanks for me. Turned out to be way too expensive and I kept getting the shaft.


Love my new LN2 set up. I bought Honda's extra little dewars, so I now have 4 dewars with a combined capacity of 85L. They are all easy to handle and pour, and 85L is turning out to be a perfect amount for balancing use vs. evap loss. Extra bonus is that I always have a pretty good idea how much I have left, within a few liters.

[DOM]

so should i fill mine tomorrow or monday ? guys not going to ship the pot out untill tomorrow... so dont think its going to make it by saturday

cuz i need to take a pic of the thing thats off the hose cuz idk wtf its for lol

[Hondacity]

im happy for you patch....i can't wait for you mega 3d setup :D

[OC Maximus]

Well, bricked my $45 8800 GTS 320 while trying to vmod it. :(

Smashed it up in little pieces and now I feel better :)

At least I got some points before I killed her. Oh well, we live and we learn......

Guess I'm going back to 2D till I can get another cheap GPU to basterdize.

OCM :thumbsup:

[Patch]

PITA trying to work backwards on voltage for this 295, but I got it figured out now. Thanks to AF's Voltage Factory and some riva tunerage.

Hope OCP/OVP don't haunt me when it goes cold....

Edit: Nice benching tonight Rom!

[RomDominance]

Thanks Patchy! Your not gonna believe this, but before bedtime I decided to go back down in the shop and get the Wretch setup for tomorrow's 06 onslaught.
Loaded up xp, stripped and reloaded the driver and while it was loading I get an error. Go to restart, RE3 shuts down...and never boots again...stuck on cpu light bright just like my last Rampage Extreme...:wtfsign:

[Patch]

Sad days......

I'm guessing you already tried the other BIOS?

I kill P55 boards like there's no tomorrow, but I don't think I've had an X58 actually die on me yet.

[Hondacity]

patch after vaseline...did you ever killed a board with vaseline?

[RomDominance]

Ya Patch's last MSI GD80 was a vaseline job and lasted less than a week if I recall correctly. More to the point HC I was at stock and at ambient,...insulation had nothing to do with it.

[DOM]

What is this and do i need it ?

Sell on ebay ? Where do you get a copper tube from ? Hardware store :Dizzy:

IDK nothing about dewars and bever sold anything on ebay :)

[DrNip]

It doesn't have to be copper necessarily. Just take the fitting off and go to the hardware store and construct you something like this. :D

3793

Or just keep the hose and take the separator off of it. Either or. I was just trying to recoup some of your money for you by telling you to sell the hose assembly on ebay for $100 or so. :D :D

[Chuchnit]

Dom just put your big girl panties on and tip it.

[DrNip]

That is another option. Sell the whole top for $300-400 on ebay and just tip it! New they run you around $500 or so without the hose.

https://www.labrepco.com/store.php?prodid=2537&familyid=28&cat1id=62&cat2id=553&cat3id=182&searchfor=

Just the hose is $200 something new.

https://www.labrepco.com/store.php?prodid=3666&familyid=28&cat1id=62&cat2id=553&cat3id=182&searchfor=

But ill try it first see how it goes should have the F1EE monday

Need to make some room in the garage to setup the rig, my 2yr old was already messing with the valves and was acting like the was drinking out of the side you put in the ln2 :rofl

[Splave]

I use a small peice of braided rubber tubing, .50c 1/2 ID 6 inches long wrapped in 2 layers of duct tape. Any peice of metal that you use will use ln2 to get down to the temperature of the ln2 ;) every drop counts

so im wasting some with even the steel braided hose ?

duct tape works on anything :thumbsup: lol

[DrNip]

Yeppers. Definitely get rid of that hose if anything but your best bet would be to try to sell that whole top assembly so you can try to recoup every penny you spent on the whole setup. Win, win situation.

[Splave]

totally, it will ice right up too. You arent going to want to tip it imo, if you were like me you would lose half of it on the floor lol I would sell the hose and phase seperator and keep the extractor top easier for the guys to fill it too :thumbsup:

Ok I got to do some testing on my shiny new B batch 980 today, and its a keeper fo' sho'!!

3rd place wprime 32 and a decent 1024 ... and CHECK OUT the 06 cpu test :D

Just saw that I had it set to auto lol

I was just feeling the thing out didn't expect what I got... conservative on the volts, should be good for more once the new wears off and I want to really work it ;)

can i have it :D

but nice clocks on those volts, ill be happy to just get 6GHz cpu-z :laughing:

I am looking forward to a 6GHz shot myself. I crossed it before but not on screeny :) With 6 cores must feel uber sweet :)

[Kal-EL]

Pretty fucken amazing these cpu's you guys are getting...

[DrNip]

Maybe it was Oklahoma was holding you back dent? As soon as you boned out you got a better cpu. LOL Glad to see ya finally get a boss hog chip. The amount of money ya'll have thrown at this gulftown is crazy. Glad to see it paying off for you guys.

[Splave]

nice joey! technically tied for 2nd with that wprime :)
so glad you got a good one mate! must be because I rma'd for ya? ;) rofl!


Things are going quite fail on my end. took the A out of the xpower and noticed 6 bent pins maybe that why it wont do 2000 cas 7 lol New xpower no bent pins ram still doesnt clock worth shit, need bios update though but...

New hyperX wont do rated timings 2250 cas 9 unless using xmp profile on RE3.

New lightning not going over 1200 would seal the deal, we'll see what happens this weekend.

[DrNip]

Anyone try the slow base yet?

[Splave]

yes thats the slayer base, Its awesome if your cbb is relatively close to your cb :D
got my best superpi/pf/and aq3 with it

[Chuchnit]

Super nice CPU dent!! 8800GTS 512MB got here this morning. I gotta go out of town. Will order VR's and caps Monday.

[DrNip]

yes thats the slayer base, Its awesome if your cbb is relatively close to your cb :D

Is it pretty much about the same as the old F1EE? Slow pull down, maintains temps better unlike the quick pull down and quick to heat up 10-15 degrees of the fast base?

[GFDuke]

MSI Lightning = crap. Good luck Splave. Dosn't like votage, dosn't like cold, Dosn't clock over 1200 and the memory won't do over 1150. I went at it face first yesterday. Meaning i just jumped right to the high clocks and voltage. that didnt work out at all.
Got things setted this am and just started from the bottm and worked it up. Without a cpu over clock. 1190 gpu @+300 was the best i could do @ -120. More voltage would just crash it. And only 1150 on the memory @+250. Again higher clocks r more voltage did no gd at all. The thing would freeze up around -130. I have all the switches setup as avised by photos and my friend Rom. Iwas benching Vantage (i fucking hate Vantage), 3D05 and Aquamark. Tried the 290.99 drivers first and they sucked big time. Went to the 258.96's and they wern't better fr score but were a bit more stable.

Among other things now that i've put OCZ freeze on the CPU i'm cold bugging at -150. And thats throwing another wrench in the works. 3hrs yesterday and 3 hrs today along with about 40L on juice. I'm goin back to my old cards for hardware boints. This things not gonna beat my reeference card at anything.

[Splave]

ouch sorry duke. have you tried 118pci-e and or using the 4pin molex on the re3?
IMO some just dont clock well so I think your justified in not bashing your skull in with it and moving on.

What type of voltage is +300 for your card? I know my card from moa vid was like 1.15 and roms is 1.0x something.

Are you using +300vmem?

really sorry duder, but ocz freeze busting out the cold bug but you will get higher clocks for sure with less temps ;)

[GFDuke]

+300 mem was a no go. Made it crash the drivers. I didn't put the voltage read leads in the card. I didn't know/think there were differences. The highest i had my pci was 110. I'll give this thing another try. Just don't know when. Mother in law coming over tonight and heading out of twn tomorrw fr a few days. tuesday loks possible,

Someday i'll invest in a keyboard that works. I hate this thing.

[Splave]

@ rom, sweet pic of the classy 285 you picked up, here are some setting from shammy. Never got mine cold yet so gl man.


Shammy
~ 1.35v vgpu, ~ 2.2v memory vdd and memory vddq, ~ 1.35vpll to make it warmer for full pot.

soooooooooo my lightning wont boot with CBB bios switched on stock cooler. My other card did fine. Think the 2nd bios is bad on this card. fawk me.

[Dentlord]

3d was fail today, ran 06 several times @ 6150, card @ 1200/1150, and never got close to 40k :(

Couldnt get through vantage, although the B batch will run cpu test at 5.9 fairly easily, 53500 cpu score.

Drivers are probably shite, live to fight again another day.

06 was running, just crap scores, ~37k lol at those clocks should be 42k :(

i had the same case...06 results that are low..

did you try to logoff winxp and start anew with new logon? it helped gt1 first peak(max) scores.

we were thinking nvidia drivers sorta jerky when failed 3d06 runs...rerunning bench...
gave lower gt1 peak scores. logging off sorta fixed it.

from fugger

The Extreme is very strong in 3D, the Formula + new driver is not ripping out the same GT1. The old driver was very erratic to even i would agree buggy in variations on runs where I was pushing for max start fps.

LOD 0, OC Station on + 250Mhz on test 1+2, down 54Mhz on CPU tests, and back up 78Mhz

At 6Ghz GT1 opens up at just under 200FPS, anything lower abort.

gt2 will dip too far on a bad run, abort.

First run after restart is the best

I have some decent scores from win7 on a dead SSD

+ Cacheman

im not sure about cacheman though

Sorry to hear Dukie :( I continue my boycott on the lightning for now....

Personal goal of 3k hwboints is 70 away :D

[GFDuke]

980 is dead. Won't boot at all. 920 boots fine. After i re-flased the bios, installed a new os and tried diff. ram/video card. I think i got it covered. Its dead.probably the prblem all along why i was crashing so freakin much. Oh crap i have 14 days to return the lightning. No way i'l have a new chip in time to see. With any luck RMA Golden B Batch.

You have to do like I did, pre-plan it about a month out! I had my mom ready to babysit the day of my 1st LN2 session. Had the wife on board that I wasn't to be jacked with all day that day. Worked out great. I also have an agreement with the wife that Friday nights from when the baby goes to sleep (usually about 7:30pm) and on is my bench night. Just don't have the fundage for it right now. In about 2 weeks I will be kicking it off again. I could go the dice route but why waste my time. Once you go LN2 anything less would be uncivilized.

[ocgmj]

I agree Nip. Last DICE session I had more fun throwing it at the neighbors cat.

Might have better luck, can't really be any worse :P

We arent that far from 480s being meaningless anyway, just like the 5870s are now. No need to kill yourself trying to get a slightly better card when it will mean nothing soon.

Looks like 580 is up for sale, price doesnt look too good though.....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130590&cm_re=gtx_580-_-14-130-590-_-Product

10% off though will save ya $57 or so depending on which card ya get.

Betcha MSI and Gigabyte are pissed over this whole 580 thing considering they just designed and manufactured non-ref 480's. Oh well, they should have got on the ball faster.

[Dentlord]

Wooo EVGA SC on the way :)

hmmm....so its pretty close to the 500$ mark of rumors which were floating. Waiting for the 6970 now, whichever one is the leader in hwbot would pick that. Hopefully only one of the cards would be a leader and the spoils are not shared by both....

You guyz got loads of money....Please hire me as your LN2 pourer, will work for food and hwboints, :P

How will MSI ever learn if you keep buying their shit??!!?? :taunt:

Probably gonna pick up a GB as well for this weekend, unless EGG will ship here to AZ for me.

well I figure they are the ones that always run the contests :D and I had 3 shit evga 480s

[Dentlord]

well I figure they are the ones that always run the contests :D and I had 3 shit evga 480s

Yeah that last bit has me worried, Bren was livid when I told him I went against his advice and bought EVGA. :ohcrap:

I think they just got a bad batch of Fermi chips when 480 dropped, there were a LOT of bad to mediocre ones out there from all brands.

[Chuchnit]

So how pissed are you guys going to be when the mods to bypass the 300w limit is under NDA and only the cool kids get to play?

In order to stay within the 300 W power limit, NVIDIA has added a power draw limitation system to their card. When either Furmark or OCCT are detected running by the driver, three sensors measure the inrush current and voltage on all 12 V lines (PCI-E slot, 6-pin, 8-pin) to calculate power. As soon as the power draw exceeds a predefined limit, the card will automatically clock down and restore clocks as soon as the overcurrent situation has gone away. NVIDIA emphasizes this is to avoid damage to cards or motherboards from these stress testing applications and claims that in normal games and applications such an overload will not happen.

Great news: Dentlord will be doing the Tuslan convention with me this weekend! We plan to go thru at least 150 liters and see how much damage we can do. This is the convention that OC did with me last year. I will stream most, if not all of it, so you guys can check it out if you want.

I was thinking about not going MSI. You all know why.....But Splave has a good point. Why EVGA dosn't do these contests is a mystery to me. How is the MSI RMA process? Anyone have any experiences with them?

[Patch]

Had 5 EVGA GPU's over the last 1-2 years. None of them ever clocked well, and I hate registering crap to get service.
(Mobos, on the other hand, are good stuff)

3 X Galaxy 580's ordered and on the way.

Bench-and-sell in time for the 6970.

new antec hcp-1200 waiting in my kitchen for me to get home :D

"capable of delivering up to 1700W continuous (though the efficiency drops below 87% required for 80+ Gold, and other output qualities will likely suffer as well). 1700W, assuming an efficiency of 85% (to be generous) gives 2000W from the wall, meaning nearly 17A of draw"

Too bad my 580 trio isn't due to arrive until Monday. Have to use the weekend nabbing some quick hardware boints with the gtx 295 before I dismount the pot.

Gotta give Vince some kudos for his slims. Pretty nifty design for mounting a dual PCB pot.

joey whats the VID in nvidia inspector, supposedly there are good and bad ones 1.025v and 1.08v.

i saw a thread on gtx 4X0's the lower the VID the better they oc


has anyone compared say e8500/8600 v 980X, in 3dmark01 ? was going to redo all my cards on 01 with he e8500 on ln2

also any other 3dmark score better on 775lga ?

[Chuchnit]

775 is the only way to go for 2k1 and it's still competitive in 03 unless you have a monster 980x.

[DOM]

i guess ill run 01&03 cuz i am going to run the 980x but might as well since im running 01.... hell i might run 05 and am3 to see if i could beat my 980 at lower clocks

AB 2.1 beta 4 gives a little control, 1.125 or so :( need Xtreme version

It LOVES Vantage, seems not much better in the others, but only limited testing so far ... more after this weekend ;)

well that was fun, 580gtx is great :) full pot and let it roll 1.32v 1230/1100 passes easy no artifacts but my chip is acting funny so I just got a good score and quit, sure she has more in her. Whole test is at 5.4ghz :( I hope its not dieing, did run cpu test at 5.95ghz when testing at first but then nowhere near that boooo. Hope its just a bad mount

Sounds like your 980x is doing EXACTLY what mine did, ran vantage cpu test at 5.9 easily the first two or three times, now its degraded badly and I have to downclock to 5.6x :(

[Splave]

thanks joey!

you dont think it has anything to do with the 580 do you? just funny all of a sudden our chips wont do cpu tests lol. Weird that I could bench at 5.95 when testing cpu test only then 5.4ghz max any time after that

Sounds nutty but I'm down for a conspiracy theory at this point :laughing:

My theory is that hammering 980x with HT on degrades the IMC quickly, so get it while your chip is fresh or don't get it at all I guess. I wasted mine on wprime and BS cpu-only 06 and vantage testing, now when I'm trying to get scores its already hurt.

That's my concern Dent.

With the exception of a little pifast action a while back, I'm trying to baby my current CPU until I can get some runs in with multiple cards on cold.

But the BEST part is I found out my B batch 980x is just fine, had a stick of ram that was crapping out....

Check out what this beast of a cpu did in Vantage just pushing the cpu test...

titan nano grease?

Where did you find it?

My generic titan paste might as well be ketchup.

Although TBH, I think its the megaharlem that sucks. TERRIBLE mount kit.

Tsan found a shop (http://www.checkmate.gr/) in Athens (Greece) selling it for 4 EUR per tube. It started with 2,5 EUR per tube but when he got it selling like candy he raised the price... A lot of people from the Greek o/cing community saw the 980Xs going from 5,7-5,8 to 6GHz @ Vantage.

[Hondacity]

we're trying a new tim.... next is that titan thing :D....thanks for sharing Dread we need all the help we can :D

[dread77]

The thing is that I had no cb at all when using ceramique. Now I get a stupid cb @ -155 and I need to change my Gemini base or go back to G-pot.
If only you guys could test the G-pot, it's the best pot around!!!

Nice looking pot.

First test on single 580x. Doing something wrong or getting weird OCP or something. Can do Troll's at 1150/1150, but can't GT1 with more than 1000 core. Won't even start the test.

I finally moved the QPI LL jumper to see what this CPU can do. Had been keeping if off for safety sake. Got this.......but forgot GPUZ tab.:laughing:

Best CPU I've had out of 6, but still not a stellar one cause it hates uncore.

Yah, still better than the average bears Yogi ;)

for lacking uncore thats a really decent score man :D looks great.
Do you get any voltage climb with the 580? Like starts a test at 1.3v and ends at 1.4?

GT1 is the cpu test so that is strange that it would be the one you fail. Any BSOD or freeze or just closes test?

[Patch]

Black screen. Loses display. Frustrating, cause it's limiting me to almost the same clocks as air. Maybe I'll undo the PLL mod. What core voltage have you been running Splave?

Memory starts to crap out at -145 so I can't do full pot.

[Splave]

1.45 seems to be my limit before I get grey screen.

mem is crapping out?

[Patch]

:D You just made my day, Al. I was limiting myself to 1.2v on the core, not having paid attention to what range folks have been using.

When it gets too cold I start getting artifacts exactly like you see when accidentally setting memory clocks higher than reasonable. :blush:

here's elmors guide....it should apply to 480s and 580s....gddr5 is the same...

the antec1200oc...we were using was set to 12.3v...

anyways...i can lend you my antec hcp1200....i wanna see it toasted as well :D

[Patch]

Thanks for the offers guys and I may take you up on them, but heading out of town tomorrow to my sister-in-law's for Thanksgiving and won't be benching for a while anyway. You guys rock.

Here's what happened:
Blank screen, followed by an inexplicable and building sense of doom......then a loud pop and smoke from the PSU. It was set to 12.03v.

[Hondacity]

i'll send out the power meter aswell....

let us know when you're back...i don't have enough load to kill my psu :(
