WHOA!!!!! wtf you need 1.84 vnb for?


1.84v nB is nothing man ;)

remember its X48

[tajoh111]

one of the best contest I have seen in a long time. Might have to put my 4890 under water, which shouldnt be too hard, especially since the blocks have been sitting here for two months.

However with 01, experience seems to be everything, so noobs are still in for a beating.

[ReverendMaynard]

i7 has no place in an 01 contest.

Hey ches, can you post the hardware you used? http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6657&postcount=38

Unless you pad and pin modded that 975 and Classy, it's not a 9650 lol. And is this "super secret" ram ES?

No ES ram for me just working with what I have at the moment. The post has been updated with the correct specs. Thank for the catch would suck to be disqqualified on a technicality.

[ReverendMaynard]

We're starting to get a nice battle going here peakes.

Just dropped a decent run :)

[crio]

Really nice comp guys.Will try soon.Dual + single....
It's possible right?

[Jeffro64]

I finally broke 80K on a single card!!!! Hoping to catch up with you guy's at the top!

[DrNip]

Sweet. Way to go jeffro!

[Jeffro64]

That was without any tweaks except CPU/GPU OC'ing... Now i'll see if I can apply some of the other tweaks that have been shared.


BTW.... In my bios my CPU is set to 4000Mhz, but because of Turbo it shows 4200Mhz in CPUz. On the ORB it show only 4000Mhz... So can I take it to 4200Mhz in the bios as long as it shows just that on the ORB or do I have to go by CPUz?

So essentially, you're asking if you can run it at 4.4ghz?

No lol.

I see that and unfortunately I am away for the week and will not have much time this upcaoming weekend with the holiday. I do have an E8600 inbound for the REX. We'll see if it scores better than the QX9650.

[ReverendMaynard]

shit man, that blows. I have a few days vacation this week so I'll be hitting it hard until your return :)

[crio]

Can somenone bench for both categories?

[karmakazi]

I thinkso! But I do not think it would be fair for them to win both.?

[punx223]

you can bench for both categories, but can only win 1





JEFFRO.... just turn off turbo mode

[crio]

xmmmm.OK guys,thanks for the immediate response.Of i go to bench

[punx223]

xmmmm.OK guys,thanks for the immediate response.Of i go to bench


DOOOOOOO ITTTTTTTT morpheus

[dinos22]

hey crio looking forward to seeing some damage from you heheh
cool2So essentially, you're asking if you can run it at 4.4ghz?

No lol.

lol nice try hehehehe

[dinos22]

1.84v nB is nothing man ;)

remember its X48

i wouldnt encourage ppl going for me without subzero man
it seems that newer boards arent as good as older ones in terms of FSB etc so better to baby them a bit i reckon

even though i have run 1.78v NB but on water hahahah

[limpkorn]

I'm at 81K with a single card, but my real battle is breaking 84K with dual cards and hopefully more. You guys keep saying that core i7 shouldn't even be in this, but I'm not giving up yet.

good attitude bro, don't let all this neh-sayers say Neh:poopinghorse:. Flog it! :deadhorse:

[dinos22]

core i7 kicks ass in this
but it sucks at nature which is the only 3D intense test in there

thats the trouble mate :(

if the nature caps were lower we would be on i7 for sure heh

[tajoh111]

Since 3dmark 06 seems better geared for single cards, wouldn't it be better if the single card category also had a gpu pot. It doesn't mean vince has to donate another pot, just maybe take one of the pots from prize 1 and give it to prize 2.

[Deanzo]

Don't forget guys, it was an i7 920 that won the single core class in the comp Vince ran.

[Jeffro64]

So essentially, you're asking if you can run it at 4.4ghz?

No lol.

lol nice try hehehehe


No to both, Not what I was asking.... I was more or less asking which one are we going by the ORB, CPUz... or both combined because of turbo mode. The reason I asked is because i'm not sure if i'm actually running at 4.2 just because CPUz says I am, because it says 4.0 in the bios. Still learning all this stuff... still a Noob.:D

punx.... Thanks for just answering the question.thumbsup

[limpkorn]

good attitude bro, don't let all this neh-sayers say Neh:poopinghorse:. Flog it! :deadhorse:

I'm right there with ya bro... i7 is my choice to. I would use both but my 775 board don't want to work any better. Maybe i'll give it another shot but for now i'm on my i7 rig.

I'm really glad to hear that limpkorn, really Hi

[dinos22]

looks good
i might not be able to play as i dont have nvidia cards handy but good luck
if i find something i'll join in

[dinos22]

here is an old screen with a single ATI 4890 on Rampage Extreme with E8600

i guess to get some red colour in the mix
no orb links

[Chuchnit]

Come'on Dinos. You said it was winter in AU. Get benching!!

[dinos22]

lol for ATI cards to break current nature caps you need LN2

i WILL put my 4870s under LN2 if they can get 1100MHz core which should be enough but its a very VERY long shot

i'll test them soon to see if they can do OK nature with E8600 at least :good:

my submissions will depend heavily on that test session

[Chuchnit]

Meh I know you pwn competitions in other countries but you could atleast try and raise the current bar ;) It's not like you don't have the hardware thats up for grabs anyways :)

[ReverendMaynard]

I'm doing damn good if I'm that close to dino using a 920 ;)

[Kal-EL]

Rev you do have some nice scores. Progressed very nice from your first submission :)

[dinos22]

Rev you're doing good mate
keep at it :)

[G H Z]

dinos try PL8 and tighter secondaries, it helps.

lol for ATI cards to break current nature caps you need LN2

Unless your card is one of the worst ever, DI will do the trick.

Holy crap 87K I guess I do need a core 2.

i am easing into it ;) heheheh


i couldnt break 1150Mhz on 4890s that did 1090Mhz on water with -50C SS strapped to them so not so sure about DI being easy doing 1100Mhz on 4870s

[dinos22]

i thought you saw my posts in the past

here is what i'd normally bench with system/spec/timing wise ;)

http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/2739/32msuperpi600mhzfsbdire.png

Thanks to whoever activated my account. I didn't have to ask or have a referal.:thumbsup:

Now two questions about 3Dmark 2001.

Is mipmap tweaking allowed?

And before I spend a week sifting through drivers. What is a good driver to use for a single 9800 GTX on Windows XP 32bit?

Thanks to ViVi's school of 3Dmark 2001, I've scored 80,005 after several hours 01 at 4.2Ghz.

[Kal-EL]

mipmap tweaking is not allowed.

[tajoh111]

So LOD is not allowed as it is a mip map tweak?

pl10 to pl8 gives nearly nothing if you have the right combination on pl10, even without right combination pl10 to pl8 wont give much but blue screens :Dizzy:

[thebanik]

just so that every1 can keep a track in the main thread, can all the scores be updated and then those who are awaiting post count limit have a tag etc. so that they know they are not yet in the competition.....

just confirming, 4870x2/GTX295 would come under single or multi GPU category???

[Kal-EL]

Nah, I've tagged the innelligible submissions in the thread. If you wanna get up on the rankings post with the others who'v made their contributions, you gotta swing the requirements.

91K
is that all you got :D

[Chuchnit]

Come on Dinos post a new score up :p

[dinos22]

it all depends on Asus 4870(Matrix Ed.) on LN2 that has up to 1.65v on core and 1.8v on vmem through software

if i do manage 1100+ core i think it would be pretty easy to hit 91K+ single and 94K+ dual

http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/396/3dmark2001challenge9111.png



you can see that system settings are nothing special :D so more system power will make this a fair bit higher hehe

but Monstru, hey and greek boys are very very very good tweakers
i definitely have nfi how they pulled off some of those scores from past comp :blush: :thumbsup:

[ReverendMaynard]

Your chase high is insane, 80FPS on me. Care to divulge how the hell you get it like that? :)

[dinos22]

ATI is stronger in some tests and weaker in others ;)

[Kal-EL]

second post has them, first post asks for discussion items to go into the discussion thread

[ReverendMaynard]

ATI is stronger in some tests and weaker in others ;)

I noticed that :) Does this translate over to other cpu tests like in 06 and Vantage or is this just an 01 thing? I'm thinking of selling these 285's and grabbing 3 4890's for sh*ts and giggles.

[dinos22]

last single card comp was won by nvidia GTX285
you are on around 89.4K if you can hit nature cap so there is still some more tweaking there but you are doing pretty good for someone who just started getting into it mate :)

ATI's achillies heal is nature with nehalem so thats the major issue right now for going red

[edit] yes CPU test in '06 for example will change a lot depending on which card you have (nvidia or ATI) and also which OS you are on and what GFX card clocks you are on :)

[dinos22]

sorry last time i checked they werent active

[Kal-EL]

the top 3 are. As new higher scores come in it'll bump the top three down and it will be the top 5,6,8 etc.

Try to click on the score, should take u to the screeny. Gonna move these posts out to the discussion thread, makes it easier to sift thru the submissions for me. Lemme know over there.

A link to the discussion is in the first post.

This might be my first runs on 01 with the i7 but I'm not just getting into it lol. Do I come off that noobish? ;)

Nature cap is going to be tough on stock air but I still have some rabits to pull out of my hat so we'll see :)

on ati maybe :taunt::laughing: but i dont like to bench red :P

[hey]

btw, it says

"## Only one prize per entrant. You may run multiple systems but will only be able to redeem one prize for top scores in that category."

so only one price we can get ? hımhımmm so running single or multi only is more logical :(

[Kal-EL]

Yessir, if you win both categories single and dual (You're the f'n MAN!)
you can only redeem one of the categories prizes and must choose between the F1EE+2tek9's or the single F1EE cpu kit.

I wonder which one will be more sought after?:Dizzy:

Irregardless, just have fun with it guys. Top scores, bottom scores, experts, noobs, whatever. its overclocking, its supposed to be a blast! :thumbsup:

[Mean Machine]

Wait, what, I thought both categories had the two Tek9's as a prize... Is it just the dual one that has it?

[Vivi]

true, taking both prizez will just be greedy :D. 2 F1EE's com'an!

you can still WIN both catagories tho.

and it will be logicall to enter both comps, as you know how many backups get played at the last minute :). and if you only entered one side you could loose out

[Kal-EL]

Wait, what, I thought both categories had the two Tek9's as a prize... Is it just the dual one that has it?

only the dual.

so u can POT both cards you win with :D

Tek 4 is all but the same as a 5, just the 4 is for the 9800GX2 where as the 5 is for the GTX295 (both can be used for cards with one GPU)

The Tek 3 is his "old fatty" as you put it.


Don't get me wrong, the 4/5 are good, but the 3 (fatty) is outstanding.
The slim pots just don't hold the load like the big Tek 3.

Thats what I figured with the fatty. Q? What are you guys doing for ram thats placed in the gap between the pot and the pcb? Are you leaving it barren with no ramsink (regulars dont' fit) or are you cutting a ramsink fin down to size and slipping it in there?

Yep, and on top that.
Many (and I have a card right now like this) have said if the mem on X card get's to low it can bug.
The mem on the 260 I'm using right now is like this, I try and keep a load on the card best I can, but if you lock up to offen, and do a number or re-boots, then sit idle as you set up for the bench for too long. The mem gets covered in ice.
With LN2 it's better, as you can hold the pot at say -20 as you do these things, and take it lower just before you start the bench.
But with Dice (what I use the most at this time) it's at -68 or soo the whole time.



Thanks Deanzo. I directed that at dinos cause he's a posting ninja :morpheus: I pretty much knew what blocks fit what. So what kind of swing do you see with say a 285/4890 with full vmods?

That will change from user to user, I don't find it to bad. But you need to keep a better eye on it and really control your pours.
Where as the Tek 3 will hold the load soo much longer, and if you over pour it's not the end of the world.

[thebluemeanie1]

Another noob question incoming. Watch out!:rofl

Are INF modded drivers allowed if the mod is only to add support for a perticular GPU?

[Kal-EL]

Another noob question incoming. Watch out!:rofl

Are INF modded drivers allowed if the mod is only to add support for a perticular GPU?

Modded motherboard drivers are a no no.

[thebluemeanie1]

Video card drivers not motherboard. 173.** series modified to support a 9800 GTX to be exact.

Edit to add: With the mod the video card name doesn't display right. It is something like NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0613.1. Probably because I know less about driver modding than I do about 3Dmark 2001 and I just started playing with 3Dmark 2001 a day or two ago.

[Kal-EL]

Are the drivers being hacked or are you just editing the inf file?

PM me the details of the modding you're speaking of and I'll bring it to the elders for discussion.

Other than that, at this point, I'll have to say no modified video drivers, mobo bios's, benchmark program files, bla bla bla. I wanna keep the contest on an even keel.

I know you guys can run flat out with existing drivers and hardware without relying on hacking bios's/drivers.

[Vivi]

i had afat tek 3 :D. its WICKED for dice aswel. but i sold this month :?

come on Dean and Dino post your 01 scores, lets get this party started please :D.

i was so upset i couldnt compete last time, now i can !

I'm playing around with 01 tonight, but this is a "fun" night, no real score.

ie: i7, GTX295's in SLI with Win7, always wanted to know how it would go, so doing that for kicks. May post a score here if you want, be a bit low though.

[Deanzo]

Yes, Win7 and 3D01 is really that bad LOL

[Kal-EL]

Actually runs faster without a real driver from Nvidia. If you just use the ms 7 driver it runs much faster.

must be a way to get the driver to play nicely with riva or precision.

[thebanik]

Though MultiGPU is pretty understandable but still wanna clear up, cards like 4870x2/GTX295 will fall under MultiGPU or SingleGPU ????

[Kal-EL]

Yep :Hi:

Though MultiGPU is pretty understandable but still wanna clear up, cards like 4870x2/GTX295 will fall under MultiGPU or SingleGPU ????

MultiGPU


And yes, riva wont work with the stock driver.

[Kal-EL]

Welcome to the forum ViViD! sign1

Please double check the rules in the first post and follow the link for the "Discussion Thread" for questions or concerns. Read the rules carefully before posting scores.

If you would like to post your benchmarks now and then work on getting the 50 posts, that is o.k. Your score will be temporarily marked as ~Invalid Submission pending post count~ and will not be ranked on the rankings page until you have the 50 posts.

These last two posts are being moved to the "Discussion Thread" shortly.

[Kal-EL]

Hey ViViD, just a couple of things bro to help you on your way.

1) Read the rules carefully, Review the sample screenshot for help
2) Your orb link is either private or deleted
3) You need a text doc with contest info in it (refer to sample screenshot in first post of contest thread)
4) Drop down tab on gpu-z is required even on single gpu submissions
5) A single gpu is (1)gpu, Multi GPU is more than (1) GPU, for example GTX295 = Multi GPU
6) Use the version of CPU-Z/GPU-Z designated in the Rules Post
7) Old submissions are not allowed

I hope this helps you along with your submissions ViViD. If the rules are unclear please Private Message me and I will try to clear things up. Thank you for your interest in competing in this competition, having fun, learning and sharing knowledge :D

killer scores guys. It's been a slice lol. I can buy a pot for the cost of the gear to own this comp so I gotta tap out hehe.

Just one thing; what is stopping people from using ELEET, Setfsb or other clock tools like them, to increase the blck/fsb in between runs? Moral fiber? Conscience? 3DMark can't detect it, the trained eye can't detect it. I'm not accusing anyone of that here but this is beast created with cpu limited competitions.

Thanks to OCA for inviting my team to this competition before the XS thread was posted, at least we got to sit on top for the majority of it :)

[GeorgeStorm]

Some great scores guys
Just got my biostar to work
Although, only with RAM in one of the 4 slots, none of the others seem to work.....
But, may be enough to get started at beating everyone at this comp, :p

Reverend.

me deanzo dinos and hey, can easily see if someone cheated. its hevily visible on screenshots.

also , the only people who would be able to get away with it would be one of us, so yes there is risk, but we just have to count on moral values and consider a users tweaking skill if we think the score is 2 high.

I sure am glad you guys are here. I'd like to think we could catch something like that, but it can be very hard too. I would hope people are less apt to cheat after what happened to OPB. His shame didn't stop at hwbot. FM even took action.

It's called trust. Hopefully the peeps here aren't about beating the system. I know there are those out there they abuse the system but I want to trust in that we have a crowd better than that here.

Thanks Chuch. I had allot of fun dusting off this old bench. It's been literally years and it was nice to rip it up on the X58, even though it's a bit gimped. Good times.

As for being able to spot the bclk/fsb tweaks, it's impossible to 100% prove as everyone here has tweaks that can give a huge boost in the drop of a hat. This is something that our team talked about and I think we'll probably stay away from limited benching and lean more towards the bot but it's been a slice!

Good luck all!

Trust me,

You can see 100% of the time (on settings that you would use) if setfsb or the likes has been used. When you know what your looking for, it's soo easy to see.

If you look at the last comp, you can pick the ones that used it, to the ones that didn't in the top five.
Though, that does not mean that they cheated, as I know why you may have needed to use it in setting up the bench. I look long and hard at the ones that do, do it.



Stuff


I hated my XFX 790i ultra, the issue I had (if you have seen my posts at XS) was when I ran the vdroop mod, it would lower the point where ovp would kick in to around 1.6v
For this comp where you will be no where near that, you'll be fine.



Silly time zones, it's 8:24am 3rd of July here, and I'm at work. Will have to wait till later for me to post a higher score.

[Deanzo]

Which board? 6.5 multi is broken for me on the RE :Dizzy:

It's not broken, the cpu you are using doesn't have the multi.


I didn't know any of the E8XXX did, what cpu are you using Josifek ?
And have you ever booted into windows and seen 6.5 in cpu-z ?

[DrNip]

You can't enable half mult to get the 6.5?

[Josifek]

Well to tell the truth i never tried 6,5 im only planning to set it like that cause i had an E8600 and had 645FSB stable, but then i sold my ram... Ill see if it works...:blink:

[Vivi]

6.5 is an un-doable multi, would be interesting to see if it works :)

[Deanzo]

You can't enable half mult to get the 6.5?

My understanding (unless some one can show me a screen shot with 6.5 on an E8400/E8600) the cpu doesn't have it.
7.5, 8.5, 9.5 (if the cpu goes that high) are the only half ones it has.

[Deanzo]

6.5 is an un-doable multi, would be interesting to see if it works :)

Sucks to, as my RE will 3D 650fsb and screen 680+

[Josifek]

Yep i tried 7.5, 8.5, 9.5 but never 6.5 because i didnt needed to... Ill try it on E7300 and E8600...

[GeorgeStorm]

I have never been able to get the 6.5 multi to work on my e7300 and biostar
Will probs try to do 600 x 7 methinks. :D
Expect some results over the next day or two.

[Josifek]

Damn... i guess ill have to switch to LN2 and do the plan B: 700 x 6 :D:D:D

Getting the big guns out for max pwnage. cool2

This bad boy is all prepped up and ready for LN2. Just prepping the 280 is next. Gonna shoot for a 1000Mhz core over clock... HAHA if I am lucky ohcrap

Get ready you slackers out there and start posting some Killer Scores :scared:

Disclaimer: No GPU's were harmed in this over clocking <yet that is>
This GPU will be frozen solid very soon :shock:

[Deux]

Planning to use the subzero 280 with Nehalem or C2D?

Best choice might be the less obvious one ;)

[Buckeye]

Same setup that I used for my other score... QX9650, OCZ Flex, EVGA 790i <i hate this board LOL>
Still gonna get creamed tho, newer cards beat me up :(
But not going down without a fight !

[Vivi]

good luck BUCK EYE!

[punx223]

Dude that is gonna own!!!!

[Chuchnit]

is that card vmodded up buckeye?

[Buckeye]

It can use the EVGA vmod tool so no need for a hardware mod.

[Vivi]

Im excited for you buck :D

1000 should be easy

Come on mate, you must be able to hit 1400 N


If not ohcrap

[Vivi]

well i have new score up there!

no lol, on air 1400 is JUST JUST out of reach, but i think i could muster 1395 with pci-freq even higher.

but yea, il make 1400 dont worry's!

in meantime, upload you backup!

[Deux]

I wouldn't be so sure Buckeye, a subzero 280 did take first in single card on XS and IIRC it was only running ~950 MHz.

Killer runs Vivi :thumbsup: G92 lives on

Is the dead line midnight 12 July CST ?
Just trying to work out what time zone you use.

think itl' be midnight 11 july and as it hits 12 its over

Good Job Chuchnit !

About time you guys stopped sand bagging it LOL :)

just kidding :)

[Chuchnit]

Good Job Chuchnit !

About time you guys stopped sand bagging it LOL :)

hahaha

I busted my balls for over 6 hours today for that one. I honestly think with nothing more than a couple other tweaks I could start knocking on 89k, but why when I have a better setup in a box? I had atleast 4 runs 200-400 points higher before running nature. Then came nature. I kept crashing. I was so damn frustrated. Finally I really relaxed the vga clocks for nature, but this run wasn't as good in the other subtest. Oh well, I still made my goal of 88k on i7.

Oh yeah, that's all I got right now, honest.

[dinos22]

nice man
good score

highest i could get without going subzero last time round was 88,8K with ATI HD 4890 single :thumbsup:

I am so bad at this but I'll look on the bright side, my GPU seems to overclock decently for no mods and stock cooling.:rofl

Setting maxmem to 600 added about 800 points.

Getting the screenshot all right takes a lot of practice as I'm beginning to find out. I had the date set wrong and forgot to save a project file to upload.

also I guess your frequency is more than 4200 Mhz, remember the rules say not even .001 Mhz above 4200...

Thanks alot Dinos!! It means alot getting a compliment from you! Nature shouldn't be an issue with s775, or I hope not. Nature kept kicking my ass though. That run had really low LL, DL and just average CH, LH. I had a 66435 before running nature going and Nature crashed :argh:

Kal, most important,

INsulate your PCI-E slot area VERY well. it's almost always the cause of dead gpu's

I'm seeing a marked improvement in pron hardware photo shoots on this forum. Kudo's boys on bringing the bling on those tings! :good:

[DrNip]

Agreed. I am very pleased with the enthusiasm displayed in this contest. If you remember I made a comment awhile back that it just didn't seem like people were as enthused about overclockin recently like they were in the past. I will add to that comment that this contest seems to have resuscitated them. Hats off to ya my friend! :Hi:

This contest doesn't have my name on it like I would have liked but alls I gots to say is you guys better watch out for the next as I won't be crippled then!

Update on the Noob Party at my house. Rogue doesnt have access to the web while she's here (in the kitchen applying eraser and insulation to the GTX285. So I can sneak on the comp and tell you guys. :rofl

ohcrapShe accidentally broke a piece off the pcb and its dangling from the pcb. I resoldered it to the mobo (my first attempt at any such repair). Well, anyhow, she feels like total crap and is worried the card won't work once we mount it and fire it up. So she's driving all the way f'n home to pick up her GTX285 from her rig, hahaha, I told her it was no big deal. :taunt:

To make matters worst, yesterday while dressing up the gpu for insulation a different piece broke off the pcb ohcrap but we figure it'll still run. Hey, we're still having fun learning tho :D

Lemme upload some pics while she's gone:

Heres yesterday's mishap (I found the broken piece on the worktable today :blink: )
