Congrats for this impressive score !!! Congrats for spending so much time , finding a near perfect combo of cpu and board. Can you write a few words about that Nismo edition board ?

Interested for these 3x weird Mushkin stuff, they perform relatively well | 5EUR 3x Patriot Viper, Elpida something, probably BBSE/BDSE/BDBG | 10EUR 4x Samsung G-die | 25EUR

Athlon X2 5200+ is an AM2+ , AM3 cpu It supports both DDR2 and DDR3 https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Athlon X2 5200%2B - AD5200OCK22GM.html Here is an entry using DDR2 https://hwbot.org/submission/3497849_freedom2686_superpi___1m_athlon_x2_5200_29sec_94ms

Pure Allendale core , never had a G0 stepping production. Ε4700 was a late production cpu , G0 stepping only ... odd cpu , that was probably a cut down version of a Kentsfield core.

? Not buying. I already have one ... but it never worked *edit* Yeah , sad story back in 2019 , paid good money for it ,even paid custom duties , arrived DOA. It was a direct purchase through vpn and translator (without an agent) from a random Taobao shop. Refund from a Taobao store was an unknown word back then.

I still see those small "s" next to the word CPU. Are you going to allow those Chinese dual socket X79 boards ?

Single cpu socket boards please. I dont want to see "Mail Servers" benching again.

Write a list , for people that dont know what they are looking at. You have many , really great piece of hardware in here. I hope all goes into good hands. You have everything someone needs to bench different gen of hardware or start a collection. P.S. Damn you also have an Asus Granite Bay board !!! (Mine stopped working all of a sudden ... prob. re-cap).

The ammount of memory cannot be a certain factor about this vga gen identification. Because we had cards with both 64mb and 128mb. Those cards could become whatever you decide to make them through bios flash or software mod or hardware mod. The vga core photo or a pcb photo is the only way to determine the exact version of those vga's. You can have a 8500 or 8500LE or even an Ati FireGL 8800 and mod it to .... whatever. The honesty factor of each user .... is the only factor in this case.

Very well done. Commitment to excellence !!!

First of all , we are assuming this is real and not some kind of fake. If it's real , and according to that era , we are talking about some special bin (pretested) of Corsair Dominator GT (probably GTX2) That "JAKE" marking , is leading me to Jake Crimmins (aka CPT. PLANET) , who was a very active xtreme ocer at that time and also a Corsair stuff member. To understand a bit more about what Jake did at Corsair

There should have been a temperature limitation and also a temperature monitoring software in this competition. So there couldn have been any room for misunderstandings and misinterpretations. In that way it would be more fair to all. Cause that simplified "Ambient" rule is not enough ... it's already been bent or "played to the limit". I am not questioning the good intentions of the competition starter. Me and Ivan for example cannot compete , when having 30-32C ambient. We cannot match Alaska's or Alps fresh air nor the chilling night breeze. We simply cant. And i definitely dont want to fool my fellow ocers , making them believe that i found a cool place to bench. Anyway , what's done is done. P.S. Is there an expression in English about the ostrich that put it's head into the sand to hide ? A few years back a big cpu manufacturer was claiming enormous clocks from their new gen cpu , using only AIO cooling (was it a presentation or a comp , i cant remember). A few days after it was leaked , that they were pouring LN2 on the AIO's rad. Aaahh ... human nature ...

32C Ambient today , here in Athens You can always use Mentos ? ? or even better ... Colgate

Great result and great piece of silicon !! Any problems mounting your water block on direct die ? What kind of water tempuratures are we talking about for this run ? And what was your ambient tempurature ?

I see great AMBIENT cooling results in this competition !!! Good luck to all participants for the rest of this competition.

This was a "no sub ambient cooling allowed" competition .... right ??? Just making sure , i translated correct.

Very strong chip,for a B0 stepping

There goes the day off ?

Tough situation those Conroe's ... you need to find a really good one , with no walls and other limitations.

Aris ... power !!

Well done mate !!! That Cascade you built ... it's an OC Jewelry !!!

Well done. Great cpu !!! Getting really close to the legendary chip of gianni-gt xtremesystems.org era. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?126970-we-ve-found-THE-GOLDEN-ONEs-AMD-Athlon64-World-Record-Thread!!&highlight=gianni

Strong score !!

Well done lads !!!
