Still trying to find a way to send command to the IR3567B to give the card MOAR volts at the moment (or just mod it), and looking for a way to test the PCIe power draw if it indeed can be damaging to motherboards when the GPU is overclocked. Stay tuned folks!

Mantap pakde! :ws:

Faaaaaaasttt!!!

I found that the word 'insane' is not enough to describe this madness...

Whaaaaaaat

Random Memory Stick, on Random IMC. Yet you managed to do DDR4-5Ghz live. Epic!

:eek: DDR4-5Ghz OMG.. Ok now I'm really feeling the pressure...

Keep pushing it

1) Please correct me if my understanding of the World Series rule was mistaken down here. To join the World Series QUALIFIER, we: - MUST use CPU Provided by HWBOT (Next-Gen Intel Extreme Series?) - CAN use motherboard provided by HWBOT, or - CAN use our OWN motherboard as long as it is retail + using retail BIOS - MUST bring our own 2D VGA What about Memory, SSD+OS and PSU for the Qualifier, are we allowed to bring our own for these ?Or We MUST use HWBOT-provided Memory, SSD+ OS and PSU as well? 2) On the World Series 1v1 face-off at the end of the day, I assume we MUST use every component provided by HWBOT, correct? ( All of it - CPU, M/b, RAM, VGA, SSD, etc. ) Thanks

Dat clock....*speechless*

Whoaaaaaaa :eek:

I smell 5G 32M AMD Platform will be crushed within weeks

PM'd

:eek: One hell of an effort man, congrats!

Thanks! Finally got a semi-decent cpu. Still far from the top-bin 6700K, but all my previous ones were junk compared to this

The 2.1Ghz Overclock in the launch demo was certainly very impressive and shows what their 16nm FinFET is very capable of. I'm amazed they could squeeze that much clocks and still maintain the power consumption and thermal output in check. Now let's see if AMD's 14nm can do similar specs in terms of clocks and performance

Ticket bought! Now only need to finalize the flight ticket on Monday

If we buy bench spot, can we use these 'next-gen' CPU but not for competing in the world series? I'd like to use one day just to do some preview article for those CPU, since I brought all my review gear and stuff hahah

From what I've been reading about Fury / Fury X, those card have complicated clock/power/voltage regulation mechanism. In which some controller dynamically adjust/sense/monitor its power/voltage output. Maybe this said algorithm can make Epowering the card difficult? unless the 'control' mechanism on the card can be bypassed of course.. I've seen some awesome overclocking with Fury series in your blog btw, please tell us more if this experiment is a success

So far the T-Grizzly Kryonaut worked wonders as replacement for Skylake TIMs. But since those things cost a lot and cannot be found in Indonesia, I only use it in competition purposes haha ^^

Nice :D Looking forward for the hardware requirement & Benchmark list for the qualifier then, wanted to know what I need to be bringing to the area :D

Well done man!!

Amazing effort man!! I wonder when will Intel release a higher i3 SKU so we can see those 742 limit being crushed

Hi Roman, on Aircooling with 1.45V vGT, I found all three of my CPU got the same exact limit, 1450Mhz bench 3d11 but completely refused to run at 1500Mhz (maybe GT1 pass, but always fail later, maybe temperature?). On cold the difference starts to show though, the 'bad' ones on LN2 -140C(pot temp) @ 1.7V GT gave me 1700Mhz and won't budge much from there(managed a 1750 on 1.82V but IGP died afterwards). The only good chip on LN2 managed to hit 1750+ 3d11 on 1.7V vGT.

Used gear is okay, you just have to make sure all its functions are working as intended, especially the motherboard, since it controls most of the overclocking functions. The 'safe' option for used gear are CPU and RAM(not easy to damage these, unless the one overclocking it goes too far), but usually i recommend buying new motherboard if you have no experience testing it. But if you have friends to help you check the conditions, you could consider buying used mobo.
