[Mean Machine]

(A little copy/paste action)

I've had this X2 550 for a while now, but nowhere to put it... ASUS Nordic were kind enough to send a Crosshair III Formula my way along with the OC Station and once I got rid of that buzzing, I got a few decent results in at least. The mobo feels like it was done for LN2 benching, and LN2 benching only. OC Station would've been a bit more fun if you had access to set the voltages as high you do in BIOS, but you can't have everything...

The rig:


ASUS Crosshair III Formula
AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE
Crucial PC16000 C9
HIS HD 4890 w/ Zerotherm cooler (crappy sample, hence the clocks below)
Ryba's Semi-Solid rev 4 CPU pot
PCP&C Turbo-Cool 860W

The results:



Sorry for using Imageshack, not much else to use right now...

I didn't make it a too long bench session, and there weren't that many pics, but at least it's something. I'll probably continue tomorrow night.

Lastly, the CPU dumps:
