Impressive. These cards really need an external power. Mine could do 340, but not in all tests, so I gave up. No time for zombie, because I need to make the "e-power" first

I read that thread and it appears to be invalid based on the explanation from Jarnis, because the workload in that test is different? XA, I can't push them more, because I want to keep the warranty before selling them which means I can't do hardmods. Did only a bios mod, but it f*cks up above 1.3V.

Now when the teamcup is over, I will play too .

What did you do to the poor bios or is cpuz showing weird stuff on this platform when some detections are disabled in the ini file?

No, I found why after some more tests. I'm not sure if it's only a multi-gpu thing, but if you disable system info the CT goes up. Then I remembered it was used by the Greeks inthe country cup 2012 (the stage with trinity and 3 radeons). Since I don't bench 3dmark11 a lot, I didn't notice at first. Spoke with a moderator, so it should be fine, but if rules had changed and this had been discussed before, then I am ok to remove the score. IIRC I had one 8000+ from the first session on air. There's nothing in the rules about disabling system info is explicitly forbidden. That section is marked with red (as the sectin should be visible in the screenshot), but that's the same for e.g. 3dmark06, 03 and scores with disabled system info are fine, although there's no boost in score. I would say it is "so-so" and maybe the rules should be edited to address this issue. The run is not bugged though, in the sense that clocks were not stable and it blackscreened or something like that.

Impressive! Congrats

Why not? Launch date Q3 2013. Only forbidden cpus are Haswell-E.

Finally someone else reached the same freq, lol. Wonder if higher is possible, even 0.1MHz.

Yes, that's the pack you need to download and install .

You need GART drivers, download from Asrock site.

Honestly I don't know if it's bugged or not, but even my old score with lower clock is similar http://hwbot.org/submission/2633360_i.nfrar.ed_3dmark11___performance_2x_radeon_r7_240_8056_marks and all scores I got were in line with these 2. I should have some more screenshots if I didn't delete them. PS: On a second thought it might be really a little bit out of line. It didn't look wrong and finished clean in the end, but not sure if 30MHz on the cores for both cards could get 8pts more in CT. Although it was on a different windows. Don't ask me about tricks though, I don't know what I'm doing Btw, using 1.0.1 version of the bench which gives better physics and CT.

PCI was a big problem for me as well. I tried everything with Zotac 610 PCI. Fed it up externally from a HD4850 up to 1.4V and still didn't help, although it did 1300+ MHz for DX9 Heaven. However, on DX11 I can only see the Benchmarking... text when the bench starts and that's it. Monitor goes into power saving mode. I guess it can't handle the heavy tesselation, maybe the PCI bandwidth is too low for that kind of load? External power helped finish DX9 (it was not completing either before the mod), but not with DX11. I guess it's not a coincidence everyone used that little Radeon. Regarding the 3DMark 2000 it sure is a valid score, since everything was on stock, but there were cases competition scores had been removed for even smaller mistakes. I barely managed to finish it 4 min before the end, then make screenshot, photo, transfer from that rig to the other PC, upload..etc. But I really think we were 5th before that, so it doesn't really matter in that case, unless there are other invalid scores which can make a difference. But I think we need a confirmation from the staff that all results are valid, because even a single invalid score from any team in the top 10 or so would change the final rankings. So we need to know ASAP if it's ok to bench for the remaining week, or need to stop right now.

The SC4 of TeamCup is still crashing for me - null pointer exception. I think it might be because fgi submitted a new score after the cut and suppose it will happen with other subcompetitions as soon as someone else submits there. http://hwbot.org/competition/team_cup_2014_sc4/

When it's full, get a bigger monitor with bigger resolution - problem solved!

I was surprised it went that high and scaled all the way up to the max voltage from bios. 3.2GHz should be possible and with vcore mod to 2.4-2.5V might get even higher

Looking at my 3DMark 2000 score I realized it's invalid. Since it was in the last minute, I forgot to open the details screen. If I calculate it right, we might still qualify for the 5th place - excluding the recent fgi's realbench score, minus 22pts from 3dmark2000. AwardFabrik moves one place up and gets additional 1pt in this stage. However I can't check the realbench stage, because the page is crashing (java.lang.NullPointerException), so I'm not sure how many points we had before the cut, but if I remember correctly we were 5th even before my 3dmark 2000 score. Can someone from the mods verify all scores of the top-5 teams? I'm not going to delete mine for now, to ensure the integrity of the rankings before the check.

Greeks actually helped us Took some points from your team in the last hour and I could finally complete a 3dmark2000 run at stock with the 5th card I tried, then submit literally in the last minute. It was tough with so many stages without a score.

Hmm, why? It fits just right over the chipset cooler. You can also remove the top plate of the chipset cooler if you're worried.

"The Thing"

And I have a 2 times better score .

Definitely increased my hearthbeat. Hopefully that's your max Interested to see your CB11.5 score. It is possible to beat me there, since I have problems with high clocks.

Amazing!

It doesn't work correctly on every board and on some it doesn't even POST. Your best bet would be a board without UEFI bios.

This is fake, because I can't do it . Awesome.
