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:

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: )

Go ahead and ROFL cuz its all good in the hood, live and let die they say :thumbsup:

Wish us luck as we pursue you leaderboard people for funzy's. to_keep_order

HAHAHA Wild times, I love it !!

Good job on the repair !!

Looks like im not the only one with bad luck on bench sessions :D I hope you wont encounter any serious problems no more...:good:

Shhhhhhh, shes...........................................BAC K! :blush: (prolly gonna kill me!)

We need pictures of you two breaking hardware... err... benching :taunt:

nice work on the repair soups. looks like alotta fun there fellas......

Another beautiful shot Nip! :good:

yes i feel like crap...even though i learned alot....and btw...i did tell Kal that he should just use the gpu that i p/u from my house....for goodness sakes I did drive allllllll the way home :rofl

He He! Thats what I thought! I'll be doing some benching next week but I dont think I need 480L of LN2!

How the hell did you solder a blue balloon to it!!! Oh wait, that's your finger, lol.

I just hate running out of LN2, it takes a week for my new LN2 tanks to get delivered :(

its not all for this competition, Im going to be benching the hell out of some new CPU's :)

So what is the cost point for this delivery and where are you getting it from. I assume its Airgas? :thumbsup:

I get it from a local company by the name of "Oxarc" its a welding and pressurized gas supply company.

the LN2 delivered costs me about $1.00 per liter

but im buying double what i normally order so im not sure what its going to cost me until i get the delivery invoice :(

That’s a nice price! I usually fill up my 20L Dewar for $20-$30 depends on the mood of the dude. I mean ist cheap but it goes a little on my nerves that he is changing the price on me. :morpheus: :blink:

praxair sometimes has a good price if you have one local, and being such a large company usually will cut good deals.... now i just need a dewar dammit

I used to pay $115.00 for a 30L dewar...... $20-$30 sounds like a dream for such a small quantity!

pufff.. my system sucks in case of clocks,,, i hated them..:Dizzy: :thumbdown: for now i threw them out :)

You guys have posted some great scores here.Especially for dual gpu (295Gtx that is) your score are exceptional

Thank you crusty and welcome to the forum. Hopefully I can put up some descent scores for the single card peeps. 88k isn't too bad for i7, but I gotta strap up the RE for some real scores.

Yeah the cheapest he ever charged me was $16 bucks for 20L which was a deal! I was like doood I'll be back for more tomorrow! He He! :D :eek:

Wohooo i finally have bought some Crucial Ballistix sticks... hope i make in time to post some results... :D

4870s insulated and pots mounted :D
wish me luck :D

G'luck Dino, may the clocks be with you! :thumbsup:

yes, lets see 91k from you dino :D

it is about the same here in Turkiye :good: 20-30 would be awesome :D

Go go go dinos :D May the voltage be pure and the clocks high :thumbsup:

Thought I might give this a go this weekend but have had driver issues.
Will see if I can work them out during the week for another go next weekend.

If that is true, then all I can think of is

4x GPU pots,
1xCPU pot.
1x shotglass.

480/6=80L per pot for one 12 hour session :thumbsup:

Now that is extreme!

I had my 280gtx running on LN2 and hit 980 - 990 core clock and running 01 with a score of almost 85K, then after a bucnh of runs and ready to screen shot it all I went crap, nature is over 1200FPS by 58 points.

So this noob has to learn how to run this bench the correct way :)

But you guys with newer cards are gonna kill me anyway, but its the attempt and bench that counts :)

Good luck Dino's, not that you need it ;)

Hang with it Buckeye, I'm sure you can tweak you're way to glory with a couple of rolled up sleeves :D

Hey i think 990 on core is qouite good :thumbsup:

No matter who wins, but to participate is important....

Nice, best of luck mate.




Goddy, where are you mate, you can pass my score easy, put up a hard number :)
