yeah...
it's just i have been a way from benching for such long time that my jump drive is all out of dated...
well comes to both cpu z and gpu z they both are, which back before 1.60 if you just have the pre ver cpuz it still works idk why it's not that way anymore...

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

what about the 1.60.1 ?

well this is going to suck cuz i got a E6400 i was going to try to bench this weekend :P

Think its cause I got a 64 bit system on it and it a socket 775? i'm sure you plan on going with XP32 right? I was OK there with it, was thinking of giving this one to a friend so was running 7 64BIt and wanted to get a few bionts, but no joy. I got one of them beta versions I'm gonna try.

Fount it, my board keeps defaulting till the values are all good for the Over Clock..........ugh!

[kikicoco1334]

i am on the damn edge of popping the mobo with a few clips right now...

i can't seem to change the muti on the damn Athlon XP even tho i tried all the options i can think of...

[DOM]

Got some 3870's coming today but no time to bench :confused2:

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

RIP UM UP!

[kikicoco1334]

i just picked up a 295 and been playing with it, i been testing it around, since i don't have any screen that's big enough for vantage and/or 11 so i been running 06.
and seem like the card locks up at the same spot EVERY time, i tried it with a 8800 and it worked fine.
so i was wondering what does 06 the first test @ 47sec where the guy was hidding behind the box and it locks up right after the dude shoots the box

it ran though everything but that.....

[thebanik]

Trying to get hold of another 7970 this weekend for some 7970 CF action on LN2. Also got a 3930K but the EVGA mobo that I arranged has a faulty bios chip sadly, :(....might go with SB benching only....

[kikicoco1334]

seem like it errors out ever few min i am not sure why, i got a hybrid set up where i have the GTS450 running as PhysX and the 295 as the mains

[DOM]

Just try running one card you don't need PhysX on 06 :P what psu are you using ?



I got trouble also cf with the 3870's scores lower then not in cf wth

[kikicoco1334]

pretty sure it's the video card now...
since if i use my 450 screen it works fine


time for RMA

It's because you can't. Unless it's a XP-M, it's multi locked. You can go down in multi but not up.

[GFDuke]

@Dom. I thought you sold that chip?

[DOM]

@Dom. I thought you sold that chip?

THAT'S WHAY I THOUGHT ALSO BUT GUY DIDN'T RESPOND ANYMORE.... THEN HE ENDS UP POSTING A 6GHZ 2600K ON THE BOT :P

BUT THOSE WHERE MY LAST RUNS WITH IT :( TRADED IT FOR A 5.8 2600K, 2X 7970'S, 580 LIGHTING 3GB... GOING TO BE HERE SAT :)

Wow thats a sweet deal bro.

[DOM]

So what should I do ?

Get a ASUS Maximus V Gene Z77 or wait for the Extreme?

My gig mb crapped out and I need a mb to bench now cuz I moved my other gene z z68 to my gamer/main rig....

[Splave]

hard to say dom, I would go ASUS or MSI because we can get good support either way atleast software wise. its nice to have shammy in your corner too though. maybe too soon to tell which asus board

[DOM]

Well I know I'm never getting another gigabyte... This is the 2nd time its done this for no reason

And I never used a msi before just been asus and gigabyte mb's

But then I saw this this moring Open Box: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131760R)

I wanted to get a z77 and 3770k when they come out.... but is it just the cpu or mb that let's the 3rd gen ivy get high mem oc.....

[DOM]

im thinking the MSI Z77A-GD65 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130643

since i got 3-7970 right now hmmmmmm

but i never used a msi mb before :ohcrap:

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Youll love the MSI board! :thumbsup:

My P67 MSI is a great board!

On a personal note:
I'll be moving to my Sandy Bridge E in the next two weeks as I have the board and the memory, gonna sell a few things then pick up a new CPU :clapping:

[DOM]

help me pick one to oder tonight :)

MSI Z77A-GD65 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130643

or

ASUS Maximus V Gene http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131830

So my 3960K at 5.5 on SS isn't a complete dog eh?

Interested to see how much faster yours will go on LN2 ... might have to buy some :D

[GFDuke]

i'd be happy with 5.5

What benchmarks can you run at 5.5 Madd?

EDIT: NM i see you've ran 5.3 Vantage 5.5 in 05, managed to get 5427 in 06 and 5.5 in 03. Nice chip for sure.

[Splave]

def a nice chip you have maad, whats your SS temps like? Mine head just cant transfer the heat fast enough during physics test. The temperature doesnt change at all on the unit which tells me its not transfering the heat properly. Oh well just binning, 3 more to go!

Same issue as you Al .. temp shows steady at =/- -42C, but the physics test killed me every time in 3DM11. It runs 5.5 w HT/on.. got thru Vantage at 5.4 something but it froze before I could snap the pic :blink:

Tks Duke :)

Al, let me know what LN2 does for your chip.. might be worth filling the dewar if it helps :D

Hey man, I was goona come to your defense by posting a link to your thread looking to sell or trade your golden chip :thumbsup: Problem was, I couldn't find one :blink:

anywho...

If your house is at all like mine, of course it ain't cause I don't have kids around anymore, but if it were, I'd peg the wife as the guilty party :laughing:

I keep her far from my shit cause she throws things away without even knowing it :eek:

[DOM]

I asked some of the guys on here threw pm's when I had the cash offer from a guy in Italy, had a good trade by but I would of had to get a 2011 mb and guy from Italy offered 2k, but guy just stopped talking after a few weeks and he wanted proof which I gave and week later he post a 6ghz 2600k :this:

Then I just had it there and then got that offer and don't think I would of gotten a better trade since ivy should be out soon

BVut it's hard when you see shit like this and the board isn't working.

Is there more to it then setting 50x and having decent cooling?
(I need more time at home to play with x79 ...)

[MaadDaawg]

I don't know about the other boards, but the RIVE has so many BIOS options it gives e a headache :argh: :laughing:

Splave, do you have subtimings for the GTX3?

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

OK,
@Duke/Splave, So for quad channel(four DIMS) you use the black DIMMS on the RIVE? I thought the book said use the red one's?

I got my old mount from the X58 (water block) and it lines up with the holes on the MB, but the threads are different. How do you get around this? :ohcrap: Just put it all together.........
The CPU TIM I assume you use a little more as the CPU is so much bigger???
Feel like a noob!! :scared:
Thanks guys!!!!

I don't know about the Asus board. We are talking about the MSI board for MOA competition.

OK,
@Duke/Splave, So for quad channel(four DIMS) you use the black DIMMS on the RIVE? I thought the book said use the red one's?

I got my old mount from the X58 (water block) and it lines up with the holes on the MB, but the threads are different. How do you get around this? :ohcrap: Just put it all together.........

Use the red channels for the RIVE :D

If you got the RIVE new, there is a 1366 backplate in the box. Just swap out the back plate and your waterblock works. Otherwise, you need 4mm screws to thread the native 2011 :thumbsup:

[Splave]

Is there more to it then setting 50x and having decent cooling?
(I need more time at home to play with x79 ...)

it take a bit more if you are running 2400+ mem and 125 strap :D

The gd65 doesnt have a ton of bios options which is great! must auto set things properly because it was fairly easy and quick.

RIVE has too damn many, so I set most of them to auto :rofl:

the RIVE I feel like im in the DFI days! :).

Damn, I just found some in my box of mounting hardware they fit I'm up and running. :thumbsup:

Overclocking gives me a headache. :argh:

Wifes gonna be home all week so i can't stay here and work on this setup. I am sooo bummed out right now.

On top of all that i can't find shit for a MSI GPU. I know i'm not alone. By the time i can get something the competition will be near the end and i'll have shit for time to work on anything. ARRRRGGGHHHH

Sorry i'm venting...... i needed to get that out.

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

OK,
After updating drivers (last ones loaded are the USB AM something) it will boot to the cursor and keep on blinking? Even tried a fresh install same thing happened :argh:.

[MaadDaawg]

If you are not at default clocks and volts, set everything to default. This board is real touchy.

BTW, your new avatar is obscene and disgusting (solely because that's not MY lap she's on :laughing:). Please remove it and send me an 8 x 10 glossy :D :rofl:

I'll try one stick of mem, can't enter OS in safe mode:scared:

IDE mode?

[MaadDaawg]

these board are finaky (spelling?) If you're on optimal defaults, then... not sure..
Mine does that if I set the bclk above 100 :ohcrap:
well, actually over about 103.5 :laughing:
good luck Bro :)

[BenchZowner]

finicky :p

Old Dawg can't spell ( hopefully it can learn new tricks :P )

Hope none of you are using your best CPU on a "MSI Mooootherboard!"

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

:ohcrap:IDE mode?


I'll try it, think i got a bad SSD after drivers loaded:blink:

[thebanik]

Hopefully a 3770K would be here in a day or two.......Cant wait to put it under LN2.......

[Splave]

Filling up dewar today hopefully 7970 shows up!

[Splave]

2nd chip max is 5497mhz on SS, 3rd chip max is 5307mhz on water still need to test on SS. Dropping off my dewar right now :D

[Splave]

Hows yours coming along dukie?
You might have to ask dogg if he will let you borrow his chip ;)

PS to restart when it freezes dont hold power button, but short the reset jumpers with something metal (they are labelled on the board)

[GFDuke]

I havn't had a freeze up yet. Speedstep (EIST right?) is fucking with me i think. Trying to boot at 50x multi @ 1.4 vcore. Everthing seems to be fine. POST shows 5ghz, it boots to windows but when i open cpuz its showing me a 12x multi. So i'm a bit confused. I think we might need a conference. lol

Edit: Flashed to 1.6 bios things are better. I guess 5ghz @ 1.40 vcore is the best i can do so far.

more vcore! 1.6v 6cores no ht and test the max multi on that bad boy!

[GFDuke]

I will try again tonight.

[Splave]

sooo chip is a beast x56 no problem 1.575v -28c on ln2 kpc heavy base. will try for higher after I get some scores in but x56 is plenty for single card and dont want to zap it yet.

Bit better score with 125 strap

Nice dude. :thumbsup:

[MaadDaawg]

VERY nice :thumbsup:

How cold could you go with the LN2?

[Splave]

only down to -31c while physics is just starting and then let it go till that and combined finishes at around -28c

[GFDuke]

Couldnt you just use the SS for those temps?

[BenchZowner]

I shall be benching 2 3770Ks in a few hours.
Wish me luck :D

First submission.

6.4G Pi, PiFast on Maximus IV Gene-Z
Gigabutt board was gigabutt bored.

Other chip was terrible.

New chip next weekend with maxims v gene hopefully coming along.

Sweet looks like u figured it out

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Who has some RIVE settings with a 3930K, I can blind it along to about 5200 on all core's but there is so many freaking settings in there.
some bios settings for 5400 or so would be greatly appreciated! :Hi:

Its pretty easy actually on Gigabyte.....I used the same concept of SB ocing and it worked(my chip was 5.4Ghz, so only till that). Will update with my Gigabyte settings if you want in a couple of hours.....

ES, E1 step 9 ( retail Stepping )

Got a few retails coming in next week hopefully.

I got so many settings in the bios, CPU tweaker, GPU tweaker, mem tweaker, ETC. Yeah that's how I got 5.2Ghz. The voltage was starting to surpass the Ghz, not sure when to turn off the hyperthreading. If its like my old SB then I need to turn it off soon? Can some one message me the Rive settings around 5.4Ghz just wanna see if it will do it..

I also can't open AI in windows...........it shows it running in the back ground.

thank you! :Hi:

[MaadDaawg]

My chip gets to 5.5+ using mostly auto settings, other than the basic voltages that I manipulate. BCLK just barely over 100, it doesn't like std OC with the 125 BCLK so IIRC, I start with the gamers OC, then make all the cores the same and enable on screen core adjustments. Boot into the 4s and use software to raise the cores and voltages... slowly. This is on SS

My chip seems to like HT on and actually runs faster with HT on. ?? Mine is a 3960X so I don't know how much if any that changes things to your chip?

BTW, it's CPU Tweakers Paradise, etc :laughing: Damn BIOS gives me a headache :argh:

Unless I'm missing it, the ROG connect won't let you raise cores, which is why I use Turbo V

Is that your lightning?

[Splave]

word
wish you had one man, its too easy
I'll still mod reference with you because its possible to be better on reference vs lightning depending on GPU.

PS tek slim pot is plenty for this card!

Yea i remember i let Witchy use my slim for crossfire.
