    BTUK Toolbox

    in General overclocking

    Posted

    Have been thinking of developing a 3D app, the same as this, but with only 3D specific functions and will only disable services & change reg keys that will allow 3D benches to work,

     

    Would anyone be interested in such an app and if so, name the features you would like to see in it and ill see what I can do!

     

    And if you haven't already, don't forget to download the Benchtec Toolbox Bug-fix V1.4.2 from my sig ;)

    And thank you for all of you who have,

    Today the Toolbox broke through 750 downloads! Lets get to 1000!

    NP man,

     

    WPrime only sets priority to realtime on all WPrime threads, works in the same way as the AwardFabrik WPrime Tuner,

    You will need .Net 3.5 SP1 Redistributable to run this app, whether its worth it is up to you :)

     

    Pifast - sets priority and affintiy on the fly and minimises the PiFast window for you i believe - must check iv been through so many builds with Adrian -ARandomOWl who helped develop this :)

     

    Have a play around with it theres a LOT of stuff in there,

    And im very open to suggestions :D

    +1 on what Andre said,

    Why all of a sudden has it become a big deal for us to use ES CPUs?

    If the ES's were crap no one would care and in the next while when there is a new revision maybe retail will be better than ES we just dont know and until a chip stepping comes out that will beat A0 we are gonna have people crying over it then all of a sudden when that happens "sure ES 980Xs can be in the rankings cause we ca beat them and it gets us more boints"

    Fair enough, thats a very well put together point BZ,

    The longevity of these CPUs at those kind of voltages may be doubtable, but thats the same with most i7s as well, if your in around the 1.95-2v mark then obviously any CPU designed to run at ~1.2v is gonna have issues and probably break,

    What voltage you choose to use is your own perogative, extreme overclocking is called that for a reason, two of which being its pretty darn cold and the other is that it is very risky. Ce la vie.

    And i said that im hitting 1.75v which is i think everyone in this thread would agree is pretty damn close to 1.85v and i wasnt using LN2, so surely my chip should be dead correct?

    This has gone WAY off topic anyway, the point is ES>Retail AT THE MOMENT

     

    An ES 980X is just like a GS GPU, you get lucky and you just happen to get one, and just like a GS GPU someone has one you want it so you pay for it, Its like sports as well, if you want to be the best you make sacrifices you must agree with that, this is no different, if you want the best you have to be prepared to make sacrifices, Ask any of the worlds top overclockers, Nick, Hipro, Andre the will all have made huge monitary and social sacrifices to get where they are.

     

    And FYI i am NOT pushing ES CPUs im just saying people who have them have every right to use them to their fullest potential.

    I love how you have resorted to personal attacks now BZ :)

    All very grown up of you,

     

    I hit 1.75V on that chip and it works perfect so dont go telling me that i dont know what im doing,

    I find it VERY insulting that you think because i dont have LN2 in my posession cause i need a dewar service that i know nothing about extreme overclocking.

    I dont overclock my CPU on DICE or LN2 because:

    a) I dont have an LN2 due to the safety regulations in my country with Dewars i have to pay £150 to get it serviced which i cannot afford at the moment,

    b) My pot is made for LN2 being 4.5Kg not DICE and as such cannot run properly on DICE.

    c) My ES is no longer with me and has been passed on.

    d) I DID overclock my ES to 5.3GHz on Water if you care to look and it is working PERFECTLY under 100% load at stock frequencies and volts as it should :)

     

    Thats just like buying a Retail CPU euklidis, you take the luck of the draw when buying one, you may get a good chip you may not.

    The more you test the more likely you are to get lucky. That goes for Retail and ES
