    ULTIMATE ASUS 1080TI ROG STRIX AC/LN2 TIPS

    in Nvidia GPU Overclocking

    Posted

    It's been farrr too quiet on the Nvidia O/C'ing scene over here.

     

    For someone as passionate about this as me, this is sad.

     

    So I am absolutely delighted to see something fresh and exciting over here.

     

    Excellent work!

     

    On behalf of my friends and I; we all REALLY enjoyed this article.

     

    Hope to be able to join you soon. As I just received (not long ago) my Kingpin pot & Hailea Water Chiller ;-)

     

    Thanks again.

     

     

    P.S.

    @Xtreme Addict I've sent you a PM on here and also on Skype; would really appreciate it if you could drop me a quick reply (just so I know you got it).

    "GPUPI - 1B" benchmark (broken download link)

    in Support

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    Anyone else having issues downloading this file?

     

    If I navigate to benchmarks, then videocards.

     

    Then hit the download link for "GPUPI - 1B"

    Link here: http://hwbot.org/benchmarks/videocard

     

    and

    GPUPI - 1B page at hwbot: GPUPI - 1B overclocking records @ HWBOT

     

    I just get a blank screen in Chrome, with an error message: "v4.thelooks" from download button.

     

    Hope you guys can fix.

     

    Thanks,

    Can't find rookie AMD competitions?

    Yes,

     

    I really do.

     

    I find the prospect of getting my system to do something it was never meant to, exciting!

     

    Who would think you could get a 4GHZ CPU to 6.1GHZ.

     

    And watching the pot bubble away; with the nerve-racking questions:

    a) have I insulted enough

    b) is next voltage boost going to be the last (on this CPU)

     

    and:

    a)watching CPU at extreme temperature

    b)thinking of the effort it took to get it there

    c)doing something nobody in my entire city has probably done before with their computer

     

    maybe:

    a)fiddling with electronics to get past restrictions

     

    There's just something about benching I enjoy. I like pushing the boundaries.

     

     

    I do have a question now:

    I am thinking of upgrading my CPU. To something newer than my FX 8350.

     

    Is there a specific CPU or hardware that has a strong "overclocking community" around it? You know-- like something I can join to feel I am participating in or contributing towards?

     

    What CPU/hardware would that be?

     

    What would you recommend I get, to have the most fun benching?

     

    What is fun to bench?

     

    I have really enjoyed doing Dry Ice on my FX 8350, this month & last. (first 2 extreme cooling sessions; ever).

     

    I like the idea of buying Ryzen. But I cant decide between a 'Ryzen 1700' or an 'i7 7700k'

    Points disappeared?

    Apologies if this is in the wrong sub-section.

     

    Feel free to move or delete if thats the case. (I'd be happy just to get an email helping my issue).

     

    Don't know if this is a bug. But I received 4.2 hardware points on Saturday 18th of February for breaking the record for fastest ever CPU Frequency ever recorded, using my specific model of motherboard.

     

    The ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer.

     

    Here's the link:

     

    CPU Frequency overclocking records @ HWBOT

     

    Today I was browsing my submissions and I noticed the entry is still listed, I am still in 1st place. Everything remains the same EXCEPT the points I received have vanished?

     

    Is this a bug?

     

    Very concerned.

     

    Thanks,

    In a while there will be another round of "challenger divisions". At least one of the divisions will be AMD only. There is also Rookie ryzen rumble which is ongoing now, but you would probably need a ryzen CPU :) However I don't think extreme cooling is allowed for rookie competitions.

     

    The thing is not many bench AMD these days. Maybe ryzen will change that, but until then I think you will find more joy just using the database to find hw-categories and benchmarks you can do. Search for your CPU and/or GPU and select some approriate targets to try and beat.

     

    Extreme cooling isn't allowed for rookie competitions?

     

    Oh, that is a surprise to me; I always assumed the rookie competitions were for inexperienced overclockers, who are just "starting out" with DRY ICE etc.

     

    In that case; since I've already taken the plunge and bought all the gear (Kingpin pot e.t.c) then what categorary would I fall under?

     

    I am totally lost; I have spent time browsing the site e.t.c but there's a lot to get your head around; and not really sure where I'm meant to go from here.

     

    I believed AMD was still a great (fun) platform to bench due to lack of cold bug etc. And because you're likely to get good results.

     

    I just "bettered" by last result using my new mobo, got my highest frequency up from 5900 to 6116.05 MHz.

     

    Also completed a single-core cine-bench run at 6000 Mhz.

     

    I *nearly* completed a multi-core run at the same speed, but it crashed towards the end. Temp jumped from -53c to -13c in a matter of seconds. Crash happened at -13c.

    Voltage was 1.725v with LLC activated (but on minimum).

     

    Bad mount, or would a temp jump like that be expected under Dry Ice? (I was using hwinfo64 to measure socket temp).

     

    Thanks for your post.

     

    Nick.

    Hi,

     

    I'm new to hwbot.

     

    Just set up my 2nd ever Dry Ice setup (pot mounted & primed) and system powered on at -50.

     

    I have an AMD FX-8350.

     

    I head over to hwbot, select 'competitions' and looked through all the rookie rumbles.

     

    The only competition I can find (currently ongoing) on the "rookie rumbles" is one involving XTC (a benchmark that only runs on intel platforms).

     

    Are there no competitions I can participate in just now?

     

    I've spent all this time/money setting everything up; now I'm not sure what to do next....?

     

    Anyone able to show me the ropes please or, steer me in the right direction, about where to start?

     

    Last month (on my 1st ever session) I broke the record for the fastest CPU frequency ever recorded using my old motherboard model (fastest with an ASrock 990FX Killer). <--- that gave me a motivation and a goal.

    Links:

    ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer @ HWBOT (top link)

     

     

    (I've now upgraded to the ASrock 990FX Extreme 9 (12+2) phase. A proper O/C'ers board).

     

    Where do I go now?

     

    Thanks guys.

    Nice one!

    what was the vcore for 5.9G ?

     

    I needed 1.7v

     

    But highest my mobo actually recorded in hwinfo64 was 1.642v

     

    My mobo doesn't allow more than 1.55v. But it does have a "v.core offset" setting. Of up to 150mv. Which got me to 1.7v

     

    It was my 1st ever Extreme Cooling experiment; ever -- & I broke the world record for the fastest CPU Frequency ever recorded using my motherboard model (Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer). <--- crappy board I know, but I liked breaking the record (it gave me something to aim for.......! ;-)

     

    I'm hoping I never done too bad, considering the board had no LLC and had been abused to a point the VRM jumped around by up to 100mv under load lol.

     

     

    ------------

     

     

    Now I have the ASROCK 990FX EXTREME9. (I desperately wanted to see if getting a decent board could get me further). The Extreme9 is a 12+2 phase I believe.

     

    Not sure what my goal is this time or what I'm actually aiming for tomorrow.

     

    I've got 10kg Dry Ice coming, and don't know what to do with it.. lol

     

    Thanks :-)

    Hi HWBOT staff,

     

    I seem to be 'blocked' from viewing a lot of content and also from posting on the "Nvidia overclocking section".

     

    For example I was just viewing content on the AMD overclocking section; and while I could view all the text (and peoples posts) the pictures were all restricted. Which seems little silly?

     

    My profile at overclock.net is: Overclock.net

    And at techpowerup: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/members/nicholas-peyton.167210/

     

    Is there something I need to do specifically to 'lift' these restrictions.

     

    Or are they just lifted automatically after a time period or after a fixed number of postings?

     

    Thank you :-)

     

     

    P.S.

     

    My account is fairly new, I am *new* to this scene. Still at the planning stage for much of it.

     

    But I certainly have never, ever, received any warnings or infractions on here. I haven't been active enough as the account is new.

    Why do my messages keep getting blocked by a moderator???

     

    I keep getting this error message when I try to post:

    "Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting."

     

    It shows up instead of my message.

     

    I am Nrpeyton in the 2nd message on this thread, I requested a nickname change hoping this would fix it. :-(

     

    Sorry about this, I'll try and see if I can contact someone to sort this out. In the meantime once my reply shows up email me at nick.peyton@btinternet.com if you want and I'll discuss overclocking Pascal with you :-)

    I was running with a water temperature of -10c

     

    Notice my "at load" temperature of only 1c.

     

    It wasn't fully stable, but it ran for a little time.

     

    The other option for voltage on PASCAL is grab a EVGA 1080 CLASSIFIED card.

     

    The Classified voltage tool was updated to be compatible with 1080 Classified cards.

    Sorry, I didn't realise its Asus only.

     

    Anyone know if the mantacore bios will work in my evga SC ? It should as its running an FE bios now and is FE based right?

     

    :)

     

     

    Mantacore BIOS? I done a google search on this and can't find anything?

     

    If it is volt modified to allow greater than 1.093 I would love to test it for you and report back. I also have a EVGA 1080 but with dual BIOS so I can test safely. :-)
