just got to the shop and im trying the older 182.50 drivers to see if it fix's my score drop when overclocking the GTX 280, if this doesnt work im going to switch to the ATI 4890 on LN2 :)

3h06 - way to push i7 buddy! Very very nice score. Mad props for getting that nature up. I would LOVE to know how you did that.
just pure muscle on the GPU clocks. i still have a ways to go and after dinner i am going to try again with higher GPU clocks. i really want to max out nature but the GPU clocks needed are going to be higher than i think this GTX260 is going to be able to do without any mods...if only i had a GTX285 with better memory than this old girl has.

testing the 975 right now to see if i can get uncore higher on that CPU to help out.

Jody, of the 8 - 10 260's I've gone cold on, none have been happy with both high gpu and mem at the same time.
ie: same card will do 1022/1191 or 850/1300

Another thing I've found, the mem can bug with the cold, the gpu may well do -100, but the mem may not like -20, it will make the screen look all funny like you posted.
I have well tested this with even stock clocks. But not all of them do this, or it kicks in at another temp.
Only use the temp you have to for X gpu speed, you may well have better luck getting a bit more out of the mem.
And don't let it sit idle for long.

the memory on this card won't run over 1152 on air, so when i went cold i just left it there as i wanted to get a decent score that i thought could win. tonight i will go for a little bit more on memory and see how it does with low temps.

the screen going all funny has nothing to do with memory, i am pretty sure of that. like i said, memory was set to 1152 the whole 6 hours or so i was cold, the screen only pucked when going over 1.25v and as soon as load was applied...definitely OCP/OVP or whatever you want to call it. 100% repeatable, no exceptions. i have done the OCP mod for this card and had it tuned to 25K but will go lower tonight now that i have read wires so i can monitor it and see what it does.

i will definitely keep the temps in mind though when trying to push memory...find out what i need for the core/shader at 1080/2160 and stay there instead of going any colder...but i think i needed -130C for 1080/2160 @ 1.25v thinking back. i normally bench as warm as i can but once i worked my way down to -100C on the card and it was still fine, i got curious as to how cold it could bench. Vince has always said the Tek9 slims hold load extremely well once they are loaded up, and i can atest to that now. i could hold temps within a couple degrees at -140C right through Nature with that big load...such good little pots. thanks for the info, you are the 260 master :thumbsup:

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you are hitting ocp/ovp as well, I get the same thing myself.
But have also found on some cards, you can get the same kind of looking screen with the mem to cold.

I almost never run them under -60 or soo, but have done -120, but that just makes other issues.

The Teks are a pice of art, if you are using a 5.0, wait till you try the older 3.0, it's even better at holding a load.

Oh man, 1152 on air, that sucks, never had one that bad before.

Me too. I spent the last 13 hours trying to squeeze out one decent run out of a GX2, but all I managed was a 92.5k, and on that there's no screen. I couldn't even get 960MHz 6-5-5-15 working for some odd reason, nothing worked like it did once.

3oh6
07-12-2009, 03:03 PM
damn jody!!! quick question on the rear of the GPU where the blue shop towel is at? what is under the blue shop towel?? vaseline?
not a spot of vaseline on the board or the GPU...i hate that shyt. kneaded rubber eraser all around. you can see in the one photo that i use eraser on the board, then once i mount the card, i simply connect the board's eraser to the cards...all around the slot. completely air tight, completely sealed, and never get condensation anywhere except on the out side of the eraser. which is why i put shop towels around everything, then the frost just forms on the towels and not even on the eraser.

here is a shot of the front of the card without the towels...

http://3oh6photos.com/forum_post/oca/09_07/_MG_3044.jpg

and a shot of the back without towels...

http://3oh6photos.com/forum_post/oca/09_07/_MG_3045.jpg

i will basically stick this back in the slot, re form the complete seal of eraser around the PCI-E socket, then wrap the setup in a shop towel or two like in the previous photos and it is ready to go. 6 hours as cold as -140C last night an is easy as pie to remove (just 'rip' it out of the socket), and just as easy to re-insulate after drying off.

oh6, whats the specs on the phase machine? SS-Cascade-temps-maker? :D
old Chilly1 SS tuned for E6600 :)
never goes below -40C on the evap with an i7 and usually around -30C ~ -35C for all the work in the 01 challenge. definitely needs to be 'upgraded' for i7 but it does it's job of keep the CPU cold so i can run high uncore for memory testing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you are hitting ocp/ovp as well, I get the same thing myself.

Oh man, 1152 on air, that sucks, never had one that bad before.
cool, will keep that in mind for moving up memory clocks, definitely no issues at 1152 with the pot at -120C ~ -140C though, so hopefully that is a good thing. maybe they just clock like crap at ambient but will be a bit better with some cold...fingers crossed.

Thanks for posting the insulation pictures :thumbsup: I had been considering doing something similar in regards to just using eraser to seal the slot to the card instead of grease, glad to see it's working for you.

It's been fun watching the scores come in so far and I can only assume it'll get even better the closer we get to the deadline.

just keep in mind everyone has to deal with different humidity levels. i have been benching like that for well over a year now with no ill effects...but i also bench in a small room with A/C cranking. still humid but the A/C helps a lot.

Nice run Jody :clapping:


Man, now I want to try.
haha, thanks boss. tonight wasn't going so well, and i thought i might be done with what i got last night. i thought you jinxed me though because i couldn't run memory at 1152...damn you with your knowledge. before i was aware of it, i wasn't running into that problem :D

then i installed new drivers and back to normal...not sure what that means.

like Dino said and i mention up top, different environments dictate different insulation necessities.

3oh6 you nailed single card.I've always thought that i7+nvidia is winning combination!!!
For my Gx2 run i used 1.38v (higher not a single Mhz over ) with scc evga bios A/C in the room and A/C straight at the card.I i didn't bother to rerun nature cause 3 days and that was my very best!!!

3oh6
07-12-2009, 11:54 PM
well, my best is posted...i wanted 92K so bad but Nature just wasn't co-operating. i am convinced though at a GTX285 with the right clocks to could make it happen. a GTX260 just didn't have the grunt in it...perhaps a Hipro special could get it done. that or more uncore :D

DAMN

welldone everyone.

hERES MY EPIC STORY.

i woke up at 8, was very sick.. we drove to the dice place, drove to the mail to get my board, stopped next to someone's garden were i threw up in, (10 POINTS!). Then i got home at 9:30 (comp ends 12 here), was ready to clock at 10, with GPU's on dice and NB on dice.

I could muster 93800 ish at 1070 / 1200 GPU'S, and 4200 (8x525). 2100mem 8-7-7-21.

I never saved my runs cause obv, i just kept pushing for the win due to time limits.

IF this 790i was up to the task of 560 x 7.5 fsb i would have taken crusty for sure :).

Too bad dice was not cold enough.

This is what i got more or less.

CL 1130
CH 309
DL 1329
DH 740
LL 1036 / 1046 cant remember
LH 491
N 1400 or as close

System was pretty stable but looks like i need more tweaking experiance, im not good enough yet!

welldone all

Congrats to our winners. You guys really pushed it hard. I do know one thing. This is the most fun I've had in a while, and I am for sure a better 01 bencher than before.

@ Crio, my hats off to you buddy. When you posted that 896xx, I didn't even bother. I knew you still had a little more CL in you. I really enjoyed the competition. Great work buddy.

@ 30H6, Man oh man did you rock the i7 :D. Sick work with the 260. After playing i7 I really didn't think it had a chance. You proved me wrong for sure. :D

@ you dual gpu guys, suck it!! Just kidding haha. Scores were insane. I don't really have much to say about that. Too bad my boy vivi had to go on a hardware killing spree though. Maybe he coulda took the crown.



Crio I fell alsleep too early to post my best run. The only thing that coulda happened any better was hitting 1121 in CL, but that only happened once so.... Here is my best.

E8400 | RE @ 600fsb 333strap, 5:8 div | Crucial value ram D9JNL 960 7-7-7-18 TRFC @ 60 | BFB 285 OC @ LL, LH, 752/1664/1411, CH, CL, 752/1664/1451, DH, DL 752/1636/1350, N 752/1664/1394

Order: LH, LL, CH, DL, DH, CL, N - D3D for all but CH, DL, CL all test at LOD 5.0

Sadly I'm rockin a sata drive and anything over 118 pcie hurt my scores.

07-13-2009, 03:58 AM

you definatly shouldnt use nature as a stability test ;)

07-13-2009, 04:02 AM
Oh I wasn't. I just noticed almost all the test were seeing huge increases except nature. Honestly I never really paid that much attention to 01 till this contest. I was always concerned with 05 & 06.

what happened in the end?!?!?!

Youngpro made a valiant effort to get his post count requirement with less than two hours remaining in the competition. During his mad dash spamming effort he posted his score in the wrong section. This is not a big deal in the least, its easy to move it to the correct section.

The problem was that he was far short of the 50 post requirement when the contest ended and the thread was closed. He continued posting for almost 17 minutes after 2359 hours on July 12, 2009 to reach his 50 post count.

His score submitted was pure pwnage and he deserves props for that :clapping: but waiting till the last day to finally pm me about his forum activation e-mail that was lost was ultimately his undoing and delay.

dinos22
07-13-2009, 05:18 PM
yeah thats fair enough
he does have a lot on his plate
i did remind him otherwise he wouldnt have known

i was gonna grab a GX2 but thought there is almost no chance of hitting 850 or so core on air to get nature cap........as i wasnt goin to LN2 it so i gave up in the end



oh wells James there is always next time i guess.......

I tried my 9800GX2 and it was not able to reach the clocks necessary to reach the nature limit. I beleive heat was my limiting factor. I was benching in 78F 65%RH and the entire system was on air.

This was my best run which I did not post due to trying to reach the number one spot. 91.5k link (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9509754) Compared to the 82K runs when I started this was a substantial jump in score. Now to find time to get this filled and have some high clock fun.

crio we put up a hell of a fight on air :clapping: You sir are better than I. I can't figure out how you got your LL so high, so often. I tried so many run orders and such. Still no go on a consistant basis.

The trick with my LL was that i had second in my run and managed to boot 129pci-e.I also lowered the card freq to 731-1351 wich gave me better scores plus a special tweak given to me by billpeppas in GooC Greek qualifiers....You really gave a great fight.Send me a pm and i will tell you more about 01 and nvidia..

I tried my 9800GX2 and it was not able to reach the clocks necessary to reach the nature limit. I beleive heat was my limiting factor. I was benching in 78F 65%RH and the entire system was on air.

This was my best run which I did not post due to trying to reach the number one spot. 91.5k link (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9509754) Compared to the 82K runs when I started this was a substantial jump in score. Now to find time to get this filled and have some high clock fun.


Thats a really nice dewar 2peakes. Where did you find it/how much?

Thx Rev, NBOC!, you guys are awesome as well!
It's all about fostering the fever and driving each other to be better clockers.
Its also about networking, making friends and having a great time, and
pushing eachother to be better. Even if that pushing includes severe public ridicule, :laughing: and ribbing fight12

Like someone recently told me at Classicplatorms.........."Supes, boints a lil low huh?" :rofl

As far as I'm concerned, we met 3 main goals with this competition:
1) Gained additional knowledge and prowess in 3D01
2) Had loads of fun, made new friends and brought the community a lil closer together
3) Put new hardware in the hands of deserving enthusiasts.
:good:
I hope that the next time I browse the main page of Hwbot.org, I'll find a boat load of new 3D01 submissions by members of our community. :D

I could not agree more! Even though I was not able to take part because all my good hardware was in RMA at that time it was sweet to watch the entire competition develop and share the 01 tricks as well. Now is there a team for the Summer Warz or not. He He!

I found it on ebay. It was under $600.00 with shipping. From what I nderstand a pressurized Dewar new would cast around $2,500.00. This one is listed 60L 59 usable. This is also heavy. The deward weighs 205Lbs when full.

lol 2chesa.

your 91.5k run was done with the wrong driver, your car high should be 310 not 250ish, 173.16 should have been used. other than that you would have got a decent score

hey jody
definitely not 1:1 comparison but i did run an 01 run while initially testing cards
i'm pretty sure they were at 950MHz core and 930MHz RAM here cant recall

consider this a preview to the HWC review of the Blade kit. i was having issues getting the GPU to run the same clocks. only Nature wanted to run above 999MHz
this session...but even still, the score wasn't quite what i was hoping for.

Thats how I felt also Cecil but I gave it my best shot anyway. It gave me an excuse to throw a LN2 pot on my 280gtx for the first time and see what it could do.

Winning didn't matter to me, but playing in the game with my friends did ;)

nice one there jody
what were you hoping for roughly?

3oh6
07-22-2009, 09:15 PM
to be honest, i wasn't really sure. i had never ran 01 at this high of CPU clocks on i7 before...but i thought 110K was going to come pretty easy
with the memory clocks and high uncore. i guess C2D is still the 01 boss for all out runs.

Kal-EL
07-22-2009, 09:17 PM
After seeing what you guys got in the low clock challenge, I figured for some wicked high all out runs myself.

Did you re-adjust your tweaks at all or did they remain the same as the oc challenge?

3oh6
07-22-2009, 09:43 PM
i think i was in the same boat as you, but Nature just didn't scale the way i thought it would. i just ran the exact same OS, tweaks everything...so i don't think there is much more to be squeezed out of the setup. uncore and memory are as fast as well so it's not like the system is much different from at 4.2GHz.

Kal-EL
07-22-2009, 09:46 PM
Talking with some of the guys, chuchnit included, they talked about how the tweaks change with clock speeds.

Might be worth re-tweaking.

order changes can help but ONLY very slightly
LOD will be about the same

I would be thrilled just to get 01 to run at those settings on my Classy 975. I see you are running the NF200 version of the board is the extra latency people are talking about myth or reality?

i don't have a 760 so i couldn't tell you if there is or isn't. i also haven't seen an actual head to head comparison so i couldn't even guess as to whether there is or not. in my best guess though, i would say myth with some truth to it...AKA there but overblown by the forumites.
