Gotz to tell you this will be a busy month full of non-benching fun, but MOA prep will be ongoing.

That said, no month can go by benchless. I got an 8800 GT incoming to bring me closer to catching you. ;)

...and I'm sending back the dead PSU today.....hope to finally score some WR boints this month with tri-SL......or even quad-SLI if I can ever get my hands on an expander.....

I still suck. :thumbdown:

I beg to differ. Modding and freezing stuff changes the game. Stuff dies. Stuff doesn't work. You spend a lot of time and money to get nowhere sometimes. The rewards are great when things click, but the risk is higher.

Since the MOA pre-qualifier started and I got a gaggle of 580's I've gone through $700 in LN2 costs alone. Spent a lot of money on hardware, gotten very little sleep, killed more stuff than I have in the last year combined.

Sometimes you spend months chasing the pie in the sky and never get it. But it's oh so sweet when you do.

That's why I just picked up an 8800 GT. Thinking aobut just putting the 980 on phase and benching the card unmodded on air for some relaxing low-key hardware bointage.

.......who am I kidding. That card will end up modded,frozen, and dead before I get any boints at all.....just like my last 8800 GT. :blush:

I meant I suck because I still have no money. Hoping o Saint Nic drops a wad of cash under my tree this year. Daddy needs some new toys or at least a new 1156 mobo as mine is limited to 223 BCLK and under. That won't get me anywhere. Maybe it will on my 655k but that is iffy as it is a POS mobo. So my 1156 chase is grounded until I score another mobo. That leaves me with my 8ghz chase. Have plenty of chips there as well as a great mobo but that won't net me much more boints. It's alright as I'm use to being the OCA cheerleader, rofl. I ain't tripping though as one day I'll be back in the game.

Nah, I was just trying to get a hold of an Expander fer the R3E. Thing is prolly buggy or they'd be selling retail by now.

Classy 4way is too old school to compete at todays WR level and the SR2 is a sickeningly expensive one trick pony.

That leaves the UD9 as the "cheapest" serious contender for quad SLI.

It's a pretty bench ain't it?

And kind of relaxing. No tweaking on the fly while you're trying to maintain razor edge temps.

Really is refreshing having more GPU heavy 3D benches. It's impossible to compete at the top in 01, 05, 06 and AM3without a cherry CPU. Something ain't right when cards on AIR maintain long term World Records in 3d benches because of a frankenstein ES CPU.

Something isn't right he should be 10k higher at those clocks, card unstable? Gt2 3 and 4 should still be higher where CPU doesn't matter

Patch
12-24-2010, 12:34 AM
Hey! This mobo is the first that actually looks good with gray eraser.


Decided to use their wimpy little waterblock because the supplemental heatsink is designed such that it blocks one of the extra molex plugs for the PCIE's. Really dumb, because you only need the molex if you're using a lot of cards - which is also when you need more cooling for the dual NF200's..... With even one GTX 580, the "SB" gets damn hot without forced air on it......

Finally broke 40k in 06. Thanks Bren. This 980 is definatly a beast and well worth the money. I know you really didnt want to sell this golden chip. I really, really appreciate it. It feels so good to finally have a decent chip. I'm sure most of you know the feeling

Often, you put in a lot of effort, money, time and LN2 and come up with nuttin.

35L of LN2 down the drain......

I hadn't done the CBB mod on one card and it took 45 minutes till I figured out WTF was the problem with booting back into windows....

Clocks and Heaven were doing fine for a while, but I was just shy of 4K - which is crapola for 4 X 580 under LN2. Then I remember I still have NVIDIA 3D settings optimized for single display :blush:. So I fix that, reboot, and don't get any better score. And apparently the file was screwy, so I couldn't even submit - said the bench wasn't completed or some such garbage. Then condensation sets in and it's game over....:Hi: (At least I hope it's condensation....)

My results:

Having issues getting past a stable 5.3Ghz on the Tpower/e8500 on DICE. Not sure whats up. Maybe ram is limiting higher clocks? Anyway, here are my 2D results from yesterdays session.

SuperPi - 8sec 906ms - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Intel Core 2 E8500 (3.17Ghz) @5231MHz) 2.6 points
wPrime 1024m - 7min 39sec 687ms - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Intel Core 2 E8500 (3.17Ghz) @5231MHz) 5.8 points
wPrime 32m - 14sec 422ms - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Intel Core 2 E8500 (3.17Ghz) @5232MHz) 10 points

And a little 3D01 actions just for fun ;)

3DMark2001 SE - 91184 marks - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Ati Radeon HD 4870 @900/1100MHz) 1 + 11.2 points
3DMark2001 SE - 90025 marks - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320 Mb @792/1152MHz) 21.5 points

I'll be going at it again later on this week. Must figure out this e8500.

Just the opposite. I was flying through the graphics test at over 6ghz 1.72 vcore and down clocking when i got to the cpu test to 5.8 and passing no prob. But this card can't do 1200mhz in gt1 or gt2. Shit scores and fail session today. Aqua3 was total crap and by the time i got to ungine i was bsoding at boot up speed of 5750. Tore it down and drying out.

DOM
12-28-2010, 01:10 PM
highest i passed vantage was 1.75v 5.5ghz :/

but i dont have rogconnect to up the clocks for 3d then lower it for cpu test

i can boot in w7 @6ghz but xp has to be 5.75ghz or it bsod even if its not cold enough it would in xp

but need to do new installls and mod the hd 4850 :D

I feel your pain Splig ... my card was smokin through vantage @ 1250, but I only managed a 39385 ... good result, but not as good as it should be.

I made it to the end of gt2 twice at 1275 but its tripping shutdown.

Im convinced this xpower is crappy for 3d, my r3e would have been near 40k at those clocks.

You know it ;)

Think I killed a stick of DDR2 pushing it. Kingston HyperX RIP.

CPU and Board are doing fine, just not clocking like I want it too. Gonna try the Commando/e8500/Ballistic's in a few days. We'll see what happens.

This is my first time overclocking DDR2 and I think I've made a grave mistake. 4-4-4-12 @ 2.5v may have been too much for the Kingstons, only lasted a for a few benches. I've learned my lesson although I know its gonna cost me. Need to get some better DDR2.
