Is it OK if I go out in the street ? What if nobody cares ?

I am glad to see this new part of hwbot. Let's celebrate it as it should: Alright, let's stay focused on what we're here for. S939 motherboard I'm looking for an ASUS or DFI motherboard, socket 939, which works of course. DFI is preferred but ASUS is OK. My price range is approximately 30-40€ + shipping. Phenom II X4 965 BE / 1090T I'm looking for two types of CPUs: Phenom II X4 965 BE C3 (= HDZ965FBK4DGM/HDZ965FBGMBOX) Batch number has to be one of the following: 0944FPMW 0933FPMW 1010XXXX I require a CPU-Z validation or score (like SuperPi 1M) and a clear picture of the IHS. I prefer scores done on air, around 4Ghz. Phenom II X6 1090T (= HDT90ZFBK6DGR/HDT90ZFBGRBOX) Batch number has to be one of the following: 1022BPMW 1012XXXX 1015XXXX 1021XXXX 1023XXXX I require a CPU-Z validation or score (like SuperPi 1M) and a clear picture of the IHS. I prefer scores done on air, around 4Ghz. For both, my price range is about 60-90€ (depending on the CPU + performance).

Just before we get into ghetto extreme 3D overclocking, let's prepare our memory modules for extreme performance. For this we need: - external hard drive case (metallic) - some tools First, cut the case in two pieces: http://s11.postimage.org/ch9debgv5/WP_001187.jpg Since edges are a little bit sharp, we have to fix it: http://s11.postimage.org/5s2tyavj5/WP_001188.jpg Finally, we can see there is more free space. This is particularly useful when using motherboards with totally unoptimized DIMM slot layout (like the Crosshair III Formula): http://s11.postimage.org/x91u9b7kx/WP_001197.jpg http://s11.postimage.org/w1nwh3hgh/WP_001195.jpg http://s11.postimage.org/wxkdwjr4x/WP_001198.jpg Tomorrow, extreme overclocking on RAM, CPU (of course) and maybe GPU ! Stay tuned.

Overclocking is just getting more and more serious. Since most chips run well under LN2/LHe, people left "normal" overclocking. And for tablets, well... Some still think they're useful. I personally disagree. Also, using laptops/tablets has nothing to do with overclocking. If you /really/ want to get involved in overclocking, buying a tablet is not a problem. The important point is to be active in the OC community.

You got money ? From Intel ? How is this possible ?

Congrats man Good job.

Next time sub 10.

All this dead hardware...

One does not simply calculate Pi.

Even after adding and validating MsWinSck.ocx it didn't work.

Hi So like everyone I was benching wPrime (on air) but it just wouldn't work. I always got the following errror: "The remote server doesn't exist or is unavailable." When this happened, I had access to the console mode. I tried to set 127.0.0.1 as server but it didn't help. Ideas ? System: 1090T @ 4GHz 1.425V C3F ValueRAM

I've got the first version Raspberry Pi (I think 128MB). Not sure if it'll run...

Happy birthday

Alright, we really needed to get this working so we finally managed to put an old S939 heatsink on it. The red ribbon is dead, sorry. First, we need to "insulate" the core area so that the heatsink won't make a short circuit http://s14.postimage.org/byygurhb3/WP_001116.jpg Then, we "zip-paste" the heatsink on the board: http://s14.postimage.org/4lj2vsx9b/WP_001117.jpg Here you can observe the good contact with the die/core: http://s14.postimage.org/9crolxnxc/WP_001118.jpg Here is a before/after vmod shot (the old one being done with tape, the new one is slightly more decent): http://s14.postimage.org/d07frzw4f/WP_001119.jpg http://s14.postimage.org/ww3f7jd5r/WP_001120.jpg Final version, ready for benching: http://s14.postimage.org/vibsc8dwf/WP_001121.jpg And as always, bent card. That's kind of a footprint of me... http://s14.postimage.org/v6zdwl3rz/WP_001122.jpg Finally, live shot of the event: Stay tuned for extreme(ly) (ghetto) overclocking of this board !

I'll try tomorrow, thanks. 1M has been much faster with Python if I'm not wrong, so that may be an option if this platform gains success in the overclocking community (just an advice).

How do I use the source files ? Can't figure out how to include hwbot libraries. Forgive my noob skills in programming. I don't have an Intel cooler that I can mod for a small pot, so I'll try something with aluminum foil. Here are some pictures of the board: http://s7.postimage.org/51b7su0ne/WP_001113.jpg Front side http://s14.postimage.org/6hdl1hpf3/WP_001113_2.jpg Front side, labelled http://s7.postimage.org/hv99m6e2y/WP_001114.jpg Front side, core area http://s7.postimage.org/fryueiea2/WP_001115.jpg Front side, USB controller area http://s7.postimage.org/gb3xns5oq/WP_001112.jpg Back side EDIT: When using the front GND, results differ from when using the back GND (although it's the same solder point). I don't understand why. What crystal are you talking about ? I have no idea what it may be. Too expensive.

There is a Pi benchmark in Java and Python. Python is obviously faster, and can be also ran on any computer. I'm looking into a voltmod or something (also some kind of a "chip pot").

Good job

I'm going to try your dice technique. While benching, right ?

Why ? It's not even suffering.

Also, the live test:

Let's take a single-slot, low-profile Radeon HD 2400 Pro (128Mb). After vmodding the card with tape (and not soldering sh*t, it's useless ) we have to cool it. Why not stick a Socket 462 heatsink on it ? http://s13.postimage.org/3sek62c85/WP_001089.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/ipn172pgl/WP_001090.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/iqwz0hrad/WP_001091.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/5b9yb1isl/WP_001092.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/m1pxe46lh/WP_001093.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/ob9gb4q5h/WP_001088.jpg Since this brand new dual-slot card take some place we had to move it to the bottom of the motherboard. To hold the heatsink on the GPU we use red ribbons with plastic zips. Other color ribbons may improve heat dissipation. Also, don't forget the fan. http://s13.postimage.org/rr65yfcrq/WP_001094.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/8omsbi1r9/WP_001095.jpg Results were not good enough. The core was not even in contact with the surface of the heatsink. We decided to do a stack of two heatsinks. The card is now triple-slot. http://s13.postimage.org/6zdp3fm1x/WP_001097.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/jgkcqlh7p/WP_001098.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/4lvrcf7mt/WP_001099.jpg http://s13.postimage.org/qfyepyh5x/WP_001096.jpg We managed to get it into the first PCI-Express slot. Success ! http://s13.postimage.org/4cyoteo9x/WP_001101.jpg Notice how the card is bent: http://s13.postimage.org/y3ltf699h/WP_001100.jpg Finally, we put the black heatsink since the big grey one was crap. http://s13.postimage.org/8alyitb39/WP_001103.jpg It still didn't work so let's get to our conclusion: 1) We can transform single-slot cards into double-slot cards. 2) We can transform single-slot cards into triple-slot cards. 3) We can make low-profile cards look cool. 4) The ribbon is a lie. 5) Don't forget the fan. 6) Air cooling < LN2
