Strong Island

I havent tried yet, gonna try tonight, but just in case do you have the inf file handy, if not no big deal.

really sick score, killin it

ya that's what I did but I wiped off the tops just to make sure they dont overheat at the beginning, they look like the memory vrm which can get pretty hot

wow I just realized this. There is something truly wrong when this isn't even the top score on the board and it's actually beat by a stock i3. Not picking on anyone because 742 is not easy and I havent been able to do it. But I really dont think it's in the same class as a true world record. I mean even the cpu is at insane speeds, and then 4 gpus and a total of 5 pots. We really should try a difficulty multiplier or something for 3d benching especially with more than 1 pot.

crazy, really amazing

I could be wrong but I know I have used this before with 8800 gts and 197.45+xp, all it needed was .net 2.0. I have been using riva tuner because I like it better but I wanted to test lod on ni vs riva. Gonna go home and check again.

congrats on 300, amazing run

thanks a lot guys, ya I had so much fun with this card. Found a samsung on ebay for $20. There are 6 benches with max hardware points, I got 4 first places and 2 second, 280 points from a $20 card Sometimes I am really stressed benching 980 ti's because I have no business buying them in the first place, but this card is just fun.

nice one

Nice work, great score.

Crap

Holy carp this is insane, congratulations

Nice score

ya I know there is no need, I have been benching full pot without cracks every night, I just thought it would be cool because it would stop the paste at a certain point and make like a nice wall.

I was thinking of trying to design something. A little square that would go around the die a couple mm in each direction. The same height as die. And then we fill up the square with paste so when we put the lid back it will keep the tim in place in a nice square with nice contact. I dont know, just thinking of different ideas, would love to try it. I have been having great full pot sessions. I wanted to see if it was possible to not change tim everytime. I had 2 sessions without cracks at full pot with same time, but third sessions cracked right away. So I finally have to realize the paste has to change everytime like dancop said. Been going thru so much paste.

ya I just finished off my 180L and got just about 130L benching amount. And 2 of my tanks were cold. I think each person could use there own 180L tank. I wish it were a bit closer to NY because I have a great contact. When I order my 180L they charge me about $115 for the product, the rest is delivery and fees. I wonder for that many tanks how far they would be willing to driver. I dont think airgas delivers stuff like that.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I completely understand, I am so sorry, If you look at my 2.5 years here I think this is the second sub I have ever had blocked, I try to be really respectful of the work it must take to police a contest like this and I appreciate it so much, I was up until 7am this morning getting all my subs in because I have been working so much, man I would have been so disappointed. With the free version you dont get the window in the program and I was having trouble stretching the internet window to show it properly. I will just buy it to avoid this in the future. I really appreciate all you do and thanks so much for being a great moderator.

Oh man I just posted the link above, it never said link was necessary and if you look at all my old 3dmark 11 subs they are all that way and have never been taken down. This score is completely in line, I would never cheat on something like this. If this wasn't a comp that was already over I would never complain. I completely understand you have a job to do but please is there someone we can talk to.

Is it because I used the internet result for the screenshot? The free version doesn't show the score in the program for me. I have the link here, it's a valid result, I didnt even tweak LOD. This would really suck because I submitted a little early just in case there was an issue. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/11123561 I just checked all my previous 3dmark 11 subs and they are all that way and are not taken down. This is the way I have always done it. Please help. I tried so hard for this comp. It's the most up to date program and system info.

My 3dmark11 submission disappeared from the round. It was definitely legit. I have the screenshot still. it still shows me as first place but shows 0 points for that stage. I also can't find it in hwbot.

wow this is crazy, congratulations on score, really amazing, these cards look sick

amazing score

really nice score man, hey is this a matrix or strix?

The biggest thing I just learned from dancop's post was to not fool around with cpu at -100 to -130. I used to always do that but now straight to -160 and tweak from there. Also extending the die with the thermal paste. I had a 5 hour session without a single crack and it was completely full pot with pot totally full and -187 about under load. Those are the only 2 things I changed. Good luck, looks like a really nice cpu.

awesome score
