Dinos, this is what happens when speculation and hype are not matched by a final product that people can test and make real-world conclusions about themselves.
yeah that is true, there was an unfortunate delay and it's a shame but its coming out soon so anyways it is what it is

strange arguments all round, so you guys would prefer to stick to the $500 boards even though $200 of that you dont need, OK i guess it makes sense to make more money for the manufacturer, why waste time doing this then
i can see a future in gaming boards because of the extra profit a manufacturer makes and there is very little resistance even from overclocking community, fair enough
the title doesnt matter, its who makes it and what's under the hood and how much you're paying for it that does imo, but sure shoot it down let's keep the $500+ "OC" boards instead
-
i am surprised you didnt mention OBR, the king of SuperPi, you guys are finished you know that
-
must be something to do with the bios mod then
-
have you installed Windows Management Instrumentation software from the website, if not thats probably why you cant get full functionality of ET, either that or some bios related issue.

awesome work Booooon, all the best to Team Japan
-
man you are making it look easy
-
well done mate great clocking
-
We need to introduce the Marc "wooden spoon" Beier award
-
i am EXPECTING some 01 action
-
holy crap you tested 3 chips and had 2x that did that
buy a lotto ticket
-
what did marc get in the last comp we did massman, you know the 4GHz one? LOL i remember it was really hilarious
:D -
I am not very happy with you because I emailed you just last week so you can help me with pi seeing you are the master tweaker and got no reply
-
Lol yeah it must be hardware at fault for the past 5 years for making u so inefficient, shame on you hardware
-
-
i think you guys need to lay off the BS history quarrels.
-
lol dont you have a board hahah
-
expecting some SICK '01 action with this CPU wow
-
someone needs to put that expression on wikipedia LMAO
we livestreamed it actually and your mate goofball watched it but he said he couldnt see the details (too bad
) -
i dont get the Beier comment
lol i watched a lot of your benching actually, it was our downtime sort of thing, was cool to watch actually
-
we gotta leave something for the imagination

TeamAU boys, deanzo, T_M, dinos22, youngpro, unclefester and bob(nz) got together a week ago and did some benching with lots of different hardware. 500L of LN2 was on tap in the basement.
I've put together a bunch of scores, photos and videos with us having some fun. Hope ya like it
Main Hardware setup:
- GIGABYTE X58A-OC (006 bios)
- GIGABYTE X58A-UD9 (GOOC bios)
- Intel Core i7 990X
- Corsair Dominator GTX2 Hypers
- Kingpin Gemini+F1EE & Harshal Astra
- GIGABYTE GTX580 reference for 4way
- Asus DirectCU2 (for singles and duals)
- GIGABYTE 5870 GPUs (multicard)
- Antec TP1200
- 2x Corsair AX1200
- Windows Vista 32bit/XP/7
The crew (dinos22, deanzo, youngpro, bob(nz), UncleFister & T_M behind the camera)
dinos22, deanzo, youngpro (the corporate type), T_M's GF & T_M (the playa)
3DMARK05: 57,705 (fastest dual card 05)
Deanzo, T_M, dinos22 & bob(nz) benching. We struggled a bit with the dual cards as we really just started learning how to clock these CU2s. We even backed off on CPU OC just in case but it turned out that one of the 580s had issues with high vmem speeds (ie 2400 or more lol) but the result was very satisfactory for us regardless as we cracked the record and got a nice GT3 as well
This made it onto the livestream as well, listen to the scream after the score pops up :rofl:. In our defence it takes a while to actually learn how to get these GPUs going and to finally see it come off was a good reward. Would have been nice to pre-test GPUs before we get together but it wasn't possible. There is always next time
The GIGABYTE X58A-OC board and my chip were humming along all weekend at its 6.5GHz duties

3DMARK05: 56,972 (4th fastest single GPU)
Deanzo and T_M benching single GTX580 at 1500 core with my OC board doing its thing
We've also got a 57,040 score in pre-testing so there is more in this one. Hopefully bob(nz) can give his setup a big push soon as his card was promising (must have slipped through andre yangs binning fingers and made it into retail packaging hahah)
Maybe Andre can spot the odd one out (purchased retail from USA)
3DMARK05: 59,040 (3rd fastest overall multicard 05)
Youngpro, dinos22 and bob(nz) benching this time round. Good bench session, will try more in future
4way crossfire at 6.5GHz, sure no probrem says OC board
3DMARK05: 57,475 (fastest 3xGPU 05)
Youngpro and Uncle Fister benching for this round with James' setup. His CPU gave in and never came back unfortunately, it will be missed as that chip was the best we had. Enjoy the silicone heaven dude
Aquamark3: 459,738 (fastest 3xGPU AM3)
Youngpro and Uncle Fister benching for this round with James' setup.
3DMARK03: 219,316 (4th fastest multicard 03)
Youngpro, bob(nz) and dinos22 benching 4way on the last day just for giggles with some reference GPUs (i just wanted to do one quick sort of run as i was too lazy to insulate the setup properly and ended up trying making it colder but didnt see the lake that formed underneath the last couple of cards and the instability explained itself after stopping the bench. Hopefully nothing died but havent had a chance to check just yet :lol:
OK now for some more fun. Let's start with livestream first
We've got some videos saved on the livestream account http://www.livestream.com/dinos22
Balcony benching (click on image to watch...)
We had 15 people watching Uncle Fester sleeping on front page of hwbot :lol:
5hour long livestream with morning preps to some benching eventually and lots of talking shyte etc
click on it to view...
Petri inspired us to "polish a pole" (music inspired by our idol Tapakah)
Did i mention deanzo is evil
. We gave him and bob(nz) a hard time about their weird accent all weekend but they are two of the best blokes you can find and could not get cheesed off no matter what :thumbup:
I first want to say that massman is a thief and a copy cat using our grid girls as his wallpaper in a livestream run simultaneously during our weekend
So we had to use a different wallpaper and how enjoyable was it to bench seriously. Maybe this is why we forgot about condensation during the 4way SLI benching session :lol:
Dinos22 getting excited about seeing 500L of LN2
We stayed in a nice serviced apartment in Adelaide right across the swimming pool on the same floor. It got a little wild there on sunday night with some grid girls taking their tops off etc etc. The livestream mysteriously crashed and we lost the video
Lots of people benching requires some organisation to prevent the outbreak of scatterbenching. We finally curbed it (a bit)
She was greased up and ready to go, doing some checks before final mount
Few shots of the setup and guys messing around
T_M the resident comedian provided some silver service to our 57.7K dual card run. He was well protected in the next shot and i think even Petri would be envious of that koala glove
Next event is in the pipeline already, can't wait to do it all over again. OCing is fun!

i hear ya but it is the first time a manufacturer has put out a dedicated OC board and stated the main market it is made for are extreme overclockers, it wasnt dressed up into this or that etc etc, just exactly what it is and who it's for
it would have sounded better if it was called a dedicated board but hey strictly speaking as an enthusiast and overclocker who gives a fuck as long as it OCs well and doesnt cost a shitload
