  1. I don't remember the specifics of this run, but it was legit. There where issues in CPUz i think for some of the stuff. Its just like the voltages shown by CPUz at the time are also nowhere close to correct. I was pushing somewhere around 2.5volts into it i think. I appreciate you trying to keep things honest though edit - I believe these might of been part of the ECS APU contest runs i did, where things where looked at rather closely during the contest, and I took 2nd place.
  2. Weee that was fun This next months gonna be some serious fun
  3. From my playing around with the trinitys so far it looks like you need a mix of mid to low NB voltages, along with good IMC strength. Though i really haven't put enough chips through my setups yet to build a reliable dataset to prove this. But its a starting point atleast. Since the best IGP numbers generally come from as high of NB frequency as possible.
  4. Let the good times roll, Stack of gigabyte boards, CHECK, Ln2 pots, CHECK... AHHH yeah
  5. Looks like I made all my llano hardware shart itself from the previous contest abuse. (soldering iron and untouchables in hand) gonna have to fix that
  6. Needs more duct tape its like listening to sabaton while benching gives you more MHZ
  7. damn nice submission, now if you just had the clocks that mine has, you'd really be cooking with gas
  8. Yeah, though this isn't to much higher than i had achieved without it, only about 2mhz more.
  9. It could be a little more extreme at times, you could tell when it froze or was getting close to freezing due to how rapid the boil would get. Otherwise the chip is generally so low powered that its just sipping ln2 most of the time. Only time you really really notice these chip heat up is when you get a 4core + apu load, At that point the temperature and watt load swing quite quickly, from the 130ish-170ish watts to around 350-400ish watts under extremely high clocks.
  10. 3870's are not retail available yet, so the fastest option is the a8 3870. Unless you've got some crazy high bclk on one of the e2 or other lesser models of the A8's. This is definitely gonna be fun. This platform is a blast. Good thing I have spent the last 2 weeks messing with this platform
  11. Its taken me long enough to post these pictures. These are the Inspired results of last months (june 2011) hwbot Team contest. A complete and uncontrollable decent into insanity featuring the Fusion E-350 cpu. May god have mercy on its soul. For starters we have Bungie win, Mounting of a single stage Phase change unit to not just the cpu but the bridge chip. 3/4" of 1/8" aluminum stock stacked up to get it to clear the caps. Then stuck together with Arctic silver ceramique' . Well that was fun, but its an amd, and we all know they love ln2 . So a ln2 pot was fashioned out of a ice cream container. Hotglue, and the stock heatsink. With some ducktape and pipe insulation thrown in on the first run for good measure. heres one of the great Bobnova helping me out by pouring. As we made our pcmark 2004 runs to take the first place cup. Which Christian held. Which was like a giant carrot out there infront of me on the end of a fishing pole. The -19c is the temp from under the board underneath the BGA chip. Well that was fun but that day the system eventually got to wet, and bugged out. So we shut it off to be conformal at some point. However the next time Bobnova was over he convinced me we needed to go for the gold in some of the other places. So i drilled a better probe placement hole in the pot. Then fired her up AND KILLED IT, cause the pot leaked :\ However we did get higher cpuz valid wise (which i still haven't submitted, god I am lazy). Good times heres some other pics of the pot off the system. Still somewhat covered in vasoline, and dielectric grease (and looking like the remants of a sex crime).
  12. I know that some people may be aware of the bug with the llano's and their unlock bug. In that while increaseing multiplier little or no performance increase can be found. However the problem I see is that for valids such as cpuz the chip does not validate correctly normally. You can see this by looking at any valid uploaded with v1.58 of cpuz. For most benchmarks this isn't a big deal. As its really down to the performance of the chip. Not the clock obtained. However its possible to blast off a valid at 5800+mhz. Whats to happen if you submit a benchmark with a clock speed that shows up as such. Is it gonna immediately get thrown into the black hole of the bad submission and seen as a potentially bannable offense on repeat?
  13. Yes to some the voltage might seem high. But the starting voltage on these chips are so much higher in the first place. Due to the integrated GPU. The E series chips are the same way. Starting voltage for the A8 3850 is 1.4v. That is the stock voltage out of the factory. With a danger zone of around 1.8v.
  14. How much trouble, if any did you have with this board and memory?
  15. It will be soon , I had to bench my deneb today instead of the fusion, otherwise that record was going DOWN I like setting goals for myself
  16. This brutal assault on the AMD vision (fusion) cpu's brought to you by bungie cords The Ice cream Container Ln2 Pot didn't make the cut for this competition, due to the need for some more k10 benchage at the last minute.
  17. Right now with the changes in REV 4, it would be nice to have an api for sub sections of hardware that would be accessed. Like a list of Video cards by chipset+mem capacity Motherboards by chipset Cpu's If Those where made accessable it would make the lifes of people using the external Api's alot easier. Making things searchable from the api like posted at the top of he post is nice, however it opens up the possiblity that are just gonna deep link and duplicate the information else where while bypassing Advertisements.(which is no bueno) Other thing that would be nice speaking of advertisement is that if there was a api of current sponors for those that choose to reproduce information in selected sections form this site. That way they can include some of the sponors that are support the hwbot (this isn't to different than showing the hwbot name in quotes on forums really)
  18. you mean people like their fingers? what a strange idea....
  19. Haven't cold bugged once so far on this chip. Don't have the board set to ln2 mode either. For some reason the IMC on this chip just loves being cold. If the chip starts getting warm I can watch the score fluctuate. But other wise I can repeat the results of a run multiple times without seeing any deviation in time.
  20. Stock fan removed and a 250cfm delta strapped to the card instead. Before After After V2
  21. nice, I think you deserve extra points for the scorch mark on your insulation
