Great work on the 7000 hardware pts, Karl

[The official GIGABYTE Initial K Contest! thread.]

looks like a competition of true overclocking skill

[TaPaKaH - P5E3 Premium/WiFi-AP @n - 718.12 MHz Reference Clock]

0802, as far as I remember...

[P67/Z68 BIOS collection]

may be I have missed something really important, but my Gigashyte P67A-UD4 won't flash any of the BIOSes given in the first post - error message is "Invalid BIOS image"

[I.nfraR.ed - LANparty UT nF4 Ultra-D - 560.06 MHz Reference Clock]

The reason why that record stood for so long is because noone cared about it as it requires a very specific benchrig (hot cpu and cold nb).

 

I actually tried my board with dryice on chipset, anything under 0c and it would not get further than POST with any HTT

[I.nfraR.ed - LANparty UT nF4 Ultra-D - 560.06 MHz Reference Clock]

Monstru, what "tweak" are you talking about? The inverse HTT/temp scaling was known since the dawn of time, how did you expect the 3000+/3200+/3700+ etc records were broken?

 

Actually, a better idea would be to go with a Winchester chip rather than a Venice, back in 2005/2006 those CPUs were known to have less HTT/cold issues than Venice so higher HTT should be possible as well. (personally, I couldn't find one on time so had to use SanDiego for my submission)

[Micutzu - LANparty UT nF4 Ultra-D - 588 MHz Reference Clock]

what's the batch/stepping of this 3200+ venice by the way?

[Micutzu - LANparty UT nF4 Ultra-D - 588 MHz Reference Clock]

As you can imagine, our BH-5 can't take more then 294

you didn't have TCCD ?

[TaPaKaH - LANparty UT nF4-D - 548.71 MHz Reference Clock]

Monstru, I know that HTT/temp is inverse, hence I did not even think about CPU on subzero ... IIRC, this O152 does around 380-400 at -60, the molten O144 did over 400, so it'd have been a lot better on air as well

[Micutzu - LANparty UT nF4 Ultra-D - 588 MHz Reference Clock]

I think everyone is shitting bricks ATM

[TaPaKaH - LANparty UT nF4-D - 548.71 MHz Reference Clock]

well, yes ... I had a much better Opteron 144 (did 400+ with subzero, so supposedly 500++ air) but it has molten during yesterdays pretesting

[matose - LANparty UT nF4 SLI-D - 569.19 MHz Reference Clock]

okay, white flag

very nice way to end up the country cup (AMD HTT WR)

[GunGod - EP-MF4ULTRA-3 - 485.13 MHz Reference Clock]

DFI was not sold in Bulgaria so that you all are using EPOX ?

[Monstru - LANparty UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert - 538.14 MHz Reference Clock]

is that all you've got?

[tiborrr - Pentium 4 531 @ 5118MHz - 20min 53sec 438ms SuperPi 32m]

at first I thought those are DDR2 ... and also, can RE really set CL4? I always thought 5 was the min with DDR3

[stunned_guy - LANParty UT nF4 SLI-DR Venus - 500.29 MHz Reference Clock]

did cold on NB help?

[motoleader - Pentium 4 651 @ 7571.1MHz - 7571.1 mhz CPU-Z]

what is the batch/PCB code of this CPU ?

[MILANS - LANparty UT nF4 Ultra-D - 540.42 MHz Reference Clock]

that all on air/stock cooler?

 

I so wish I could participate in this, but seems that none of my 939 cpus are in working condition (2xvenice, 2xopteron)

[kaidtor - GeForce GTX 260 216SP @ 1050/1352MHz - 82008 marks 3DMark03]

is this a reference card ?

[The_Game - Core 2 E8400 (3.0Ghz) @ 6408.3MHz - 6408.3 mhz CPU-Z]

I wouldn't expect to see CPU to hit over 6.4 on cascade / NB scaling from going dice->LN2

you need to turn the cascade/LN2 the other way around and then give it a go

[Inno3d GTS 250 512mb BIOS Flashing Possible?]

what's the problem with the hard-voltmod ?

[Monstru - Core 2 E8600 (3.33Ghz) @ 3999MHz - 10min 50sec 593ms SuperPi 32m]

VERY nice board sample you got there

[Discuss: Adding benchmarks in Rev4]

so now we'll have 2M/4M/8M/16M for hardware pts as well ?

[The_Game - Core 2 E8400 (3.0Ghz) @ 6408.3MHz - 6408.3 mhz CPU-Z]

I see nothing wrong as long as you don't submit multiple scores from same CPU/session into one category (benchmark)

 

Extremely impressive job there, not many E8600 can hit 6.4 with cascade temps.

[MaSell - LANParty UT nF4 SLI-DR Venus - 509.39 MHz Reference Clock]

5xx on AMD was hit long time ago by my teammates -)

But 509 is outstanding, especially on nf4

highest HTT I know of on AMD is 564MHz by MAZ from Japan
