....here we go first LN2 session is over 10L got chewed up and now I got some idea of the clocks and how this beast behaves.........
This is very exciting.....going back to AMD and all....I am now hooked
These CPUs love cold it's amazing. I was literally battling this F1EE to get some ok speeds out of the chip but for longer tests like 8M or 32M it was already evident that i may need to start looking for a better tuned CPU pot for these.......I did some pretesting on air and SS so i knew roughly what the RAM and board could do. I was planning on benching the Asus Crosshair 3 as well but as luck would have it the board died.....SADS or something else...who knows, i just wish i could at least try it on LN2 lol before it bitched out lol
Always good to chat to someone while benching new gear....chew* was onhand and he got a dose of dinos22's entertainment during the session lol
Anyways here's the test setup and some piccies
Test Configuration:- GIGABYTE 790FXTA-UD5 F2 official bios
- AMD X4 965 Black Edition C3 week 44 retail
- F1EE CPU pot
- Corsair Dominator GTX 2250 DDR3 2GB modules
- PCIe nvidia 8400GS
- 1200W Antec Quattro OC Edition PSU
- 300GB Velociraptor
- Windows 2003 Server
Giga is very fast in 1M. It trails a bit in 32M so gotta work some more on it i think...just as well as i couldnt get speeds i was happy with anyways heh...could be teething issues with new board/bioses i donno but once i get it strapped to a better pot i'll do some proper 32M too
.... best part is it's still alive w00t lol
:
I wont have much time to do more LN2 testing until i fly out to Adelaide to bench together with my good friend youngpro mid January.....we are going to rape this CPU hard lol
: and my priority is superpi first and then whatever else ppl want to see at the event we are doing
Evil chip heheh
...stay tuned
