really amazing, this looks like a lot of fun.
-
wow this is insane.
-
wow nice score!
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.

Majority of mod staff appears to be busy with HOT.
Try resubmitting from the OC E-sports page.
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.

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

This is not an official ASUS BIOS, only enables base clock overclocking on non-K CPUs.
Don’t use this for K-series CPUs.
It might damage your hardware, no guarantees provided.
Issues found so far
* No IGPU
* No dynamic change of CPU frequency
* No C-states
* No Turbo Mode
* CPU temperature reading is incorrect
* AVX instructions have very low performance
* Windows XP ACPI not supported
After flashing set the following settings to make it boot into OS with correct CPU speed
Advanced\CPU Configuration
- Boot Performance Mode -> Turbo Performance
Advanced\CPU Configuration\CPU Power Management Configuration
- Intel® SpeedStep -> Disabled
- CPU C states -> Disabled
wow that was sooo fast, thank you so much for this, a lot of fun ahead.

yep I think it's a safe bet they will be AFR.
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.
-
Delid is as necessary on an i3 as it is on an i7, good to know.
Never thought this would be necessary, but the gains are night and day even on the dualie.
thanks for the info and amazing job.
-
awesome score, amazing memory
-
Nice!
How does it feel to have an XTU 2K membership card
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.
-
First cold memory session, it's over now you will be swapping all those vga's for binned memory
Well done SI.
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.
-
i had many times cracks at even -140C with grizzly kryo on delidded cpu without glue ihs back.
might give some differences where do you put your probe.
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.
-
Amazing result! This made the main page, you definitely deserve it!!All hail!Nice work mateNot bad
Thanks a lot guys, the comp at ocn was a lot of fun.
-
Are we talking full pot or -170?
Huge difference, -170 is easy. Never any cracks. Have only tried full pot once but got the crack immidiately.
No reseal here, just ordinary delid with floating ihs and kryo.
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.

Lies!!
@xxbassplayerxx I added myself, only a simple one for my city & state tho.
Edit; hey bassplayer can you possibly fix mine? I'm in salem oregon, I forgot to put the forums I frequent.
If you could add them that'd be great, not sure if you can?
Here are the forums I frequent: Linustechtips / OCN / HWBOT / KPC
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.
