newlife Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm doing the Kabini stage for Belgium. Shaving off minutes of efficiency rendering the 'expensive' Haswell runs not so relevant. Athlon 5350 = 50€ ASUS AM1I-A = 30€   You and me both, I figured out last year you are only as fast as your slowest sub  5350 in hand waiting for board tomorrow and then we battle PJ  Game on!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Whoah! What temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) It's with a h100 submerged in ice water with a CPU temp of 10-14c and water temp is about 2.5-3c  Edit: and yes it's 32m stable Edited November 19, 2014 by newlife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlife Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm coming to AM1 too ! Very nice platform to OC, no head-breaker, and cheap ^^  While I've been having a blast playing with am1 the problem is that it's going to come down to ln2 which isn't a problem for me but is for a lot of other people  On another note I've got 2 5350s which both clock exactly the same which is nice as I've got a backup chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.nfraR.ed Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The one I tried for the team cup had a bad CBB, so I don't think LN2 will help much if all are like it. Plus it didn't raise the max stable bclk frequency, so I ended up running it on air. It was with an external VGA though, so it might make some difference.

Taloken Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Same, not sure that extrem cooling will help. while raising the vcore, i didn't see any temp bump in load. The main limitor factor is final freq of the cpu i think, as the 5150 can get a 150 fsb easily. Â Got a nice improvement too by putting an external VGA and disable 2 cores ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have a bclk limit of 139 with a external VGA and the cpu frequency scales with changes with room temp so I'm pretty sure at -30 it would see some benefit given I can run 153mhz bclk on water I just can't make use it because of CPU/GPU/IMC/NB limits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hm, so you guys are seeing lower BCLK with external VGA? Â I've been running only with external actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taloken Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I saw a little better stability for a freq/voltage couple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Around 139 MHz BCLK I had some issues with the NB/MEM instability though. I thought the IGP was giving up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apfelkuchen Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I just benched Stage 4 on my Xeon X5650. But now I can not submit, because HWbot says my CPU is not allowed. Could you please add Xeon X5600-series to stage 4? I think it should be allowed since it scores exactly the same as W3670, i7 980X etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hehe @ -60c with dice and an external GPU. Â Â I could've got higher but random crashes below -40 and I could post 3250mhz+ plus I had no problem holding -40 with dice so may have or may not have been able to run a similar speed 32m stable just a shame I can't enter the CC with it unless I remove Richland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Judges: for round 3, how do you monitor the temperatures to ensure they are above X degrees? Â Is it only via screenshot of the 3D Mark application, or are the temps logged and visible on the submission page on 3dmark.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkDogg Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Just had my first pots arrive(thanks to the kingpin himself). Now I want to use them. Â Need to stay Novice for Stage 3 though, as I'm doing the 270X. Â Can I sub for the 270X then go cold for Stage 4 and keep my stage 3 subs?? hahahahaha.

suzuki Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Or you can make submission on extreme but disable the points and like this you will still be in novice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObscureParadox_3XS Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Doubt it, seems a bit unfair to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Why it would be unfair as long as you receive no points from it ? If you want to try using subzero cooling a couple of times,you should be allowed to post the results,if in here you can't than where else ? And if you are not planning to stay long on that type of cooling(subzero) why to go to another league ? Is the same like the fact that some users from extreme oc league have the courtesy to disable points when they bench with Es samples. It seems fair and respectful. Â LE : and vice versa ,if someone from extreme oc league wants to join enthusiast,in my opinion it is enough ,for him ,to disable the points from submissions made on subzero cooling. It's no point for him in deleting that account,or destroying his legacy by deleting those subs. Edited November 25, 2014 by suzuki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
