After having seen it here is my TOP5 "must-have" list for Bulldozer:
1. a suitable AMD motherboard with NEW bios (really, really new bios!)
2. a suitable bulldozer cpu
3. good ram (I mean GOOD ram, no seriously f(l)ucking DAMN GOOD ram...
)4. new hdd with fresh os (c'mon we are just having sandy-systems right now
)5. and most important:
-
there is missing: couldn't care less, not even took the time to watch it - I just have pots and it will stay that way
-
non-kay is gay

8800 GTS 512 @ full(cpu)pot...that was some crazy benching during saturday to sunday night
8800 GT 512 @ cpupot + risercard 06 - this card clocked nicely but couldn't take that much cold (I think some issues with mem when too cold)
-
I'm praying everyday but no luck until now - I feel the need of new CPUs

5511 06...5520 no boot...that sux!

Paah you call that an accident? Beat that - soldering gun vs. my finger
-
Trying to mod a card to "Ney-Style" but having no success...it will only give more MHz but no nice artifacts until now

A little heads-up from here:
Today I was testing 8800 GTS 512 sli and was wondering about low fps. I remarked strange "hick-ups" within the benches, even the fps shown were high. 05 and specially 03 sucked badly. 42k at 780/1100 and ~82k...once a time I got good scores but never could narrow it down until...
...I simply closed Afterburner in the backround. During quick testing I tend to leave it open to check temps, fans, quickly raise clocks etc...but it cost A LOT fps in some benches / scenes. am3 went up from 385k to 415k, 05 from 42k to 46k...

...failure is always an option
If nothing goes, failing goes on
-
it still would be around 50 K more compared to singlestage, so no overkill - I don't expect to bench full pot but maybe just a bit more helps one of thoose cards to give me some better results.
main target still are several 8800 gts cards - I have everything from 320 over 512 to 640 so there must be something I can do
-
Yes I was really wondering about it, I'll try one of the little buggers under LN2 and see if that helps
Maybe singlestage can't bring "coolness" on the little die very good. But I had -20°C under load shown, so I really expected more.
It does seem to help a bit (like I said 10-20 mhz) maybe it's all you can expect on these little cards with not so much difference in temperature. I'll know in 2 weeks, maybe I have to correct myself then

Yo,
it's been a while I really had fun benching. After more than 10 2500K and 2600K I ended up like everybody: frustrated and fed up with 2D benching.
Then I had a move from Berlin to my old hometown. Finally I am living together with my gf after 7 years of long-distance relationship and all together 10 years beeing together with her. It was about time!
My new benchroom is awesome and already looks like I've been living there for 5 years
Rather crazy how much hardware you collect during 10 years of overclocking...Well let's get to the point: I liked rev4 from the very beginning but didn't had the time yet to go for some good hw-scores. During the last 3 or 4 weeks I finally was able to test things like risercard and singlestage.
Additionally I got a fantastic deal for a singlestage - how does 75€ for -35°C sounds to you?
So I was able to freeze my 2600K and the GPU. First time I am experimenting with 2 singlestages. Unfortunatly the new one isn't that strong and as you can see the suction line is kinda PITA...
One thing I always needed to do was improving my soldering skills - you see why
Took me one hour to remark one of my soldering guns was not working properly and another one to successfully get hold on the cables (which I instantly fixed with a large amount of hot glue ) 
Before I could really run that baby, the mounting gave me another headache. I really prefer benching with risercard but that would mean I can't freeze the CPU what is ofc needed for our favourite game: 01
So with 1.4V and around -30°C I was finally ready to take down my current best hw-score.
Due to the singlestage having problems under load, I couldn't make it near the 900 MHZ on the GPU but for the first try it wasn't too bad:
I was sooo close to stummerwinter at 4th place but even after more than 2 hours rerunning and run-orders I couldn't get him.
5th place 01 8800 GTS 640 - 26 hwboints....
On 1st of october the AwardFabrik team will have an event again and I will take this card under LN2 - I hope I can at least get 110K out of the card, I would be a happy man then
By the way to have some more usefull information here: I tested a lot cards with riser card and could remark, that none (!) of early nvidia GPUs like 6600 GT, 7900 GS, 7600 GT (everything without heatspreader) does respond to singlestage temps at all (temps controlled with GPUz).
Maybe 10 or 20 MHZ but that's it - even with voltmods and high vgpu I mostly couldn't improve my scores on air really remarkable. So if you want to have fun and not waste your time, don't try to freeze such old cards - it's mostly not worth the work. Better spend 2 hours more with 8800 GTS, it's much more fun
congratulations you have reached the end
best regards

Points are enabled to get the score on the frontpage. Macci already said he'd disable points for this when the score is no longer on the frontpage (after 24h).
No need to ring the corruption bell (again)
FWIW - about the points. Technically, if AMD says the hardware is 'released', anyone can have points for it. HWBOT does not give points to hardware that is under NDA. The hardware vendor decides whether or not hardware is under NDA.
Haha not ringing the bell, just like to poke you
Explanation accepted If it would be "released" there should be also scores in other benchmarks, so I think it is not "released" yet (or is it???) Where are all the ES-owners with their scores then? I am still wondering how AMD is able to not have results released early - not sure if I like it or not but business wise it should be good. Also I have big respect for having a business-structure that isn't "leaking"
-
by the way - massman did you get a golden clock or why is that score rewarded with points in the "normal" oc league...I think macci needs to be moved to "extreme oc" league where ES-hardware is allowed

The worst 2600k can do 5/5,1ghz, the best can do 6ghz.
With the i7-975 the worst I saw was 5,15 or 5,2, the max was 5,7 from Stummer if I'm not mistaken.
not so true - I had a chip which maxed at ~5.7, stummerwinter had "the golden egg" that could do 6 GHZ 1m easy and 32m a bit under 6 iirc. there always has been a big variety of results, that's not so new. The problem is you can't make a bad chip look better with more cold...
still: if you concentrate on old GPUs - SB is an easy platform which let's you more time for really push the GPU...I like it for that but nothing more.

AMD going netburst
Congratz AMD for the CPUz record...hope the "real" benchmark-scores will be also that high
01 on AMD anyone?! Massman you place a bet this time?

Funnest vga's to clock 8800gt 512 and 4850, cards that binning just for a good core means shit, quality of mods and amount of mods and ram play a huge role as well.......
Had 8800 GT last week-end and it wasn't too bad (even my vmod fell of twice
) I love 8800 GTS as they are also giving nice scores even with singlestage. And yes you need to mod them Spended some time yesterday and it always gives a good feeling seeing G92 with higher vgpu successfully modded I whish the latest cpus would scale that predictable...

:mad: :mad: Just had my last session with X58. Got extremely annoyed and angry by the behavior of this platform.
Waiting for the next architecture to arrive.
welcome to last week - sold my RIIIE 2 month ago (gt even earlier)...this platform could get you some nice results but has always been quite unreproducable and -predictable mostly. I hated it from start to end ^^
having more fun with my 8800 gts + sb currently

I think sometimes he forgets it in the freezer

Congratulation richi, that seems to be a sweet little baby. Seems you have done everything right ~9 month ago
I wish your kid all the best!
wow, congratulations
Now you are a father
Submission in progress: Feed your baby with LN2 (picture required)
Lol. Kids. No thanks ...I've seen one of Leeghoofd's run around in circles like a maniac at 8PM in the evening ... that was already too much for me.
Interesting how you try to distract us from the obvious:
finding a massgirl for the massman should be a bigger problem than a kid running in circles

I think the more pressing issue is where he finds his sense of humor.

TOP5 "must-have" for AMD's new Bulldozer!

They seem to do fine - though you need to have some balls as they scale even with high vcore...
LN2 fullpot?
Yes, we can!
