-98 load for 32M, NBBWE 0638CAB CB at -100 idle

It's about 215 euro, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. If it was 1/2HP I'd dfinitely buy it. The retail unit seems really overpriced...

Hmm, so it's actually not between the Hailea 500 and 1500, but rather between 300 and 500 Hailea. I know the AC units conversion ofcourse, but it's too big and I liked the idea to mod this one. I wanted to use it mainly with VGAs and SS on the cpu, cause I have only one phase-change unit. That's rather disappointing.

-20 is fine enough and pretty much what I'd expect. Gas is exactly R134a, don't know about the compressor. It's the 750W model, D-D Aquarium Solutions DC750. So you think my idea would work?

Hello, I have the opportunity to get a Hailea-clone water-chiller for a relatively low price (that compared to a unit from the store). I'm wondering if anyone of you tried the following: I want to disconnect stock temperature probe and connect an external one which always measures ambient/room temp, so I can fool the chiller that it never reaches the target temp (lowest that can be set is 4C I think). By doing this the chiller should never sswitch off its compressor and work on full power non-stop, but I'm not sure what temperatures I could expect, so I'm asking if someone tried this with a similar water chiller. Thanks!

You will most probably need to go higher on the temperature, not lower And Sam was asking more about the week of production (the four digits after NBBWE).

I hope reprogramming the chip will do the trick, because it is hard to find DFIs on ebay. It would be a shame if you need to replace yours, it does very high HTref clock.

Nice one! I had problems with my board too, now I think it needs bios reflash from the SPI header or I need to desolder bios chip and reflash in programmer. Managed to run R15 at 6650, but no new R11.5 score.

Yep, N5 barely holds its max frequency for a very short time at full load, then throttles to much lower frequency. This cpu clock is only on paper Not that much apps use all cores though.

And throttling. Need to cool it down like Hiwa, otherwise a mid/low-end MTK device @ 1.2GHz beats this...

I've said it before, but I've tested about 6-8 (or maybe even less, don't remember really ) chips during last 2-3 years. I thought 7GHz might be possible, but the cpu is quite intolerant to voltage.

kotori-san, it was not needed. Sorry if I made it sound that I don't trust you. It's a very good score, I could do about 740 with X2, but need to work more. Latency with Opteron is higher, so it's not an option and Expert board is more efficient than Ultra-D. CPU frequency does not help - it could only reduce latency by 0.1ns or so.

No, latency is higher and score is lower. I think the key here is dual-core with 2x512MB L2, not 2x1024 like Opteron/FX

No need for video. I have very different score with Opteron 180... I also do everything in bios and boot straight to os.

Hmm, ok. So I will try with Expert, although my board can't clock BH5 very high for some reason. I get sometimes similar read and write, but I thought it is bugged

I have ran it and the score is about the same. I think his score is bugged What are you getting with similar clocks? Bypass max is wrong here, but everything else is tight enough Edit: btw, expert and venus should be more efficient than ultra-d/sli-d, but I don't think the difference in read and write could be that huge.

Can you reproduce this? Your latency is higher than mine, but read and write seem like mine (even higher) with v1.82, while mem copy is lower. I don't know what is real anymore

No, I haven't forgot, but 2-2-2-5 is faster than 2-2-2-11 on my board/bios.

Same for me. I don't even have 4770K and I'm almost always at least a generation behind. Good that I was lucky with 3770K, but it still requires a lot of LN2 to bench all these VGAs. But I promise you will have some competition for s.939

Switch from APIC to Standard PC.

These Matrix cards are not as rare as I though some time ago, however it's all about binning or luck. Higher chances with ref cards, I think. I had ref that did about 1010 - 1020 on default voltage and 1120 1.475V on water. Mem was good for 1330 1.35V. My Matrix can't touch this and last time I tried it on LN2 it was also not good, but I will revisit it some time.

poparamiro, Asus non-ref like these or some other non-ref/ref card? Because I have Matrix as well and it is not very good. My ref cards are better

I don't think it's necessary. Leave it this way. I'm fine with it as long as we all use the latest version for the competition. I don't even run this bench and I wouldn't if it wasn't the competition .

I'm already close to the top scores, but only with the old version. It's impossible with newer versions.
