Strong Island

awesome run man, merry christmas

really amazing, this looks like a lot of fun.

wow this is insane.

Thanks a lot, I couldn't have done it without your guide, it's the main reason I even went with this card. I really appreciate all the info you share and things you do for the community. Also got a good deal on a huge thermal grizzly tube so thanks for that also.

should I delete it first or just re-submit

if anyone is around can someone please check to see why this isn't added to USA total, thanks. http://hwbot.org/submission/3064018_strong_island_3dmark06_geforce_8800_gts_512_mb_49.8_hardware_points

wow that's crazy, 100 points+ over second place. Those chips sound nice.

wow that was sooo fast, thank you so much for this, a lot of fun ahead.

ya I just grabbed a 2x4gb kit of hyper x savage 2666 c13 and pulled the spreaders off last night and finally got some afr. For $80 hopefully I can bin a couple and find 2 nice sticks. Sure beats spending $200+ on one kit g-skill e-die. I have trouble with xtu efficiency and e-die, but mfr/afr is great. I still wonder where are the higher rated afr kits.

nice score, nice cpu.

pretty amazing for one cpu or even for 10 really, haha.

thanks for the info and amazing job.

awesome score, amazing memory

haha thanks, it feels good. I'm really loving xtu right now, hopefully I can go back at it this weekend and really start to tweak. Ya obscure it was the paste, it was my first time ever installing a mem pot so I'm not sure if I would have done it, but it seemed to help a lot. -120 on dimm was very easy and took such a small amount of nitrogen.

amazing result.

wow nice score, great efficiency, nice memory.

Thanks a lot guys. I am definitely so addicted, I can't stop thinking about it, it was the bottom of my dewar so next time should be much more fun with more ln2, already planning next session in head. Sitting here day dreaming at work. I really like the ek pot a lot, happy I got it. Thanks to mikecdm for installation tips which made experience much better.

thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it. I had so much fun with cold memory. I can't wait to try again.

wow, what an amazing card.

ya mine was cracking everytime before I reglued. I even had a time where my pot was around -140c and in xtu the cpu core was hitting close to +100c. Now three times so far about to about -180c without a single crack. But my probe is on pot and not behind cpu.

Thanks a lot guys, the comp at ocn was a lot of fun.

I go to -180c so not totally full pot.

so far third straight session without changing tim and not one crack, the thick paste is really helping me, it seems like it defeats the whole purpose of de-lidding but I guess the change to thermal grizzly tim helps a lot. The tape before I resealed seemed to give the same exact effect so might just go with that from now on so I don't have to delid everytime.

did you stop benching, are you banned from OCN, haven't seen you around for awhile.

it gave me a url at the end where I can edit it for myself, if you have that you can change or add anything you want. added myself for Long Island, NY, this is a really cool idea. I'm moving to a new house soon with a pretty big garage and room so it would be nice to get together and bench.
