My new best friend arrived ...

[TaPaKaH]

you registered your dewar on facebook?

[SoF]

PROLL!

[George_o/c]

Keep us updated on your hardware death statistics, will ya? Enjoy!

[SF3D]

You got the tank filled like multiple hours a go...where are the new records?

 

By the way.. what is the full name of the tank..I couldn't find "Overlords cryotank" from facebook.

[dinos22]

lol 200+L LN2 tank in the backyard, one more reason not to have excuses for fail scores

[SoF]

I still think he is going into cooking before not seeing any monster scores

[Leeghoofd]

if we fail we will fill her up with beer, you coming for some brewskis chris ?

[SoF]

You know me - I'll be there in a minute then

[SF3D]

So..full weekend passed and nothing happened?

[dinos22]

nothing as impressive as your tank but i got a new sucker today, 60L better than heheh

 

[Massman]

So..full weekend passed and nothing happened?

 

I spend (only) one week trying to get 01 to pass at 5700 with the 4890.

 

Just exchanged the P67 platform for the X58OC one. This week some 990X pre-testing .

[SF3D]

OK. I can see that the ln2 is cheap for you now Spending one week with one setup have never been option in here.

But did you do any full runs.. like 5690mhz or something?

 

Let's see how X58OC will obay the overlords orders!

[Massman]

In the end I got 5710 running ok, but with annoying temp range of 7°C-8°C. That it took a week to get the setup running like I wanted was not planned .

 

X58A-OC should be a bit more interesting, I think ...

[Gamer]

I'll allow LN2 for those team members who can keep golden CPUs alive. Oh well, maybe allow one mistake. Kill no more than one golden CPU.

 

This is getting personal !!!

 

I think I see why HWBot is non-profit now

 

Sure 240l is going to be enough?

 

Not when he invites some "friends"

 

Oh wait, I'm not invited anymore

[dinos22]

LMAO gamer you are in trouble if him and goofball turn on you mate

[Massman]

The Madshrimps have a public demo on May 21st with the X58A-OC mainboard, so I've been preparing this a bit. Testing first 990X ES tonight. Not a bad CPU, but definitly not the top. Next runs will be with better VGA (not 6950) and better memory (GTX2, I hope).

 

Setup:

 

- Core i7 990X ES

- GIGABYTE X58A-OC

- MSI Radeon 6950 Twin Frozr III

- Coolermaster 1000W

- 3x 2GB Adata XPG+

 

- Coldbug ~ -155°C with dual channel

- Coldbug ~ -150°C with triple channel

- Coldbug is very much related to VTT. Most optimal VTT is around 1.313V, from 1.395V and up, it's quite hard to get to -140°C .

 

- AM3 max clock ~ 6550 MHz. 6600 will be doable when pushing really hard

- Vantage CPU test clock ~ 6000MHz passed at 1.824V and -130°C. 6200MHz needs colder temperature, voltage doesn't really scale that well.

- Uncore can be run at 5000MHz, but not much higher due to VTT/CB problem.

 

- Vpll is best at 1.6V, lower is more instable.

- Need to figure out how to enable more than 1.9V to see if frequency scale in AM3.

 

Will post results to HWBOT once the Pro OC League is official. So, when official rev4 is here.

since you're in the blackorange club. can you share yous bios template(settings)

 

i think gigabutt sent me one board rofl

[Massman]

You don't need a BIOS template or my settings to get your chip running, LOL. This board isn't much different from other boards BIOS-wise; certainly not more complicated.

 

Sometimes you'll get 00 bios code, though. Quickest way to get rid of it is turn PSU off. After that, it should be back to C1.

[Hondacity]

maybe sin can help me...LOL
