Quake Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) HW Gurus is officially launched Test plan is that next week or two days we achieve at least 2000 points for HW Gurus team, and it is not just about hardware points which proves by the fact that there is 5 x GTX 580 cards. During testing, there will be Perica_barii, Dekara, Quake, Gameaddict, dejobar, trut_bar, tonino2, Mare085. During the entire test we will be benching three separate systems with many hardwares, while at the same time will livestream with at least 3 cameras and simultaneous updating scores on forums. Our goal is to have fun, which is certainly the most important in this story, but also there is no easy benching First of all, we would like to thank some sponsors who have supported us with some ofhardwares that was great help to us. ASUS primarily in supporting motherboards and lot of graphics cards, ECS in the boards. This is just one of many HW Gurus OC Week gatherings, as we are planing to expand this to a far higher level and hopefully we will get support from other manufacturers. I hope you will follow us via livestream and we hope that we will not have many problems in terms of hardware:) Since we have a lot of hardware, we hope that we will tested all. How would you be interested, the following pictures are what we are going to test, best regards!

Quake Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) A couple of days are behind us and we wanted to show you what we have managed to do: Intel Core i7 920 D0 The processor have BCLK wall at 250MHz and don’t like to work without HT and two cores, so we had to keep all cores + HT on. Another thing is that it doesn’t like cold, -80 ° C maximum, everything below that is causing strange behavior of the system. Super Pi 1M – 7.594s – 5256MHz @ 1.54v, NB 4756 @ 1.48v, RAM 2000MHz @ 7-7-6 Super Pi 32M – 6:58.078s – 5197MHz @ 1.54v, NB 4700 @ 1.48v, RAM 2000MHz @ 7-7-6 Pifast - 16.05 – 5257MHz @ 1.535v, NB 4756 @ 1.48v, RAM 2000MHz @ 7-7-6 Wprime 32M – 4.624s – 5197MHz @ 1.54v, NB 4700 @ 1.48v, RAM 2000MHz @ 7-7-6 Wprime 1024M – 149.125s – 5131MHz @ 1.54v, NB 4642 @ 1.48v, RAM 2000MHz @ 7-7-6 Then we quickly run wPrime so we could know on what clocks we can run Intel Core i7 2600k Wprime 32M – 4.399 – Intel 2600k @ 5591MHz, 1084MHz @ 7-7-7 Wprime 1024M – 137.498 – Intel 2600k @ 5591MHz, 1084MHz @ 7-7-7 Zotac 8800GT 512MB It worked over 130°C for about 6-7h of benching. On the card we did VGPU and OCP, but for memory we forgot to do. Day after we did that also but no help for memory frequency. Voltage card was around 1.45v, there was no OVP till 1.55V, but the cards at that voltage almost died. The memory on the card was very strange, everything above 1000MHz was on the edge of cracking (perhaps due to excessive cold). Vantage caused a lot of the problems. We benched it for about 3-4h but for some reason we were getting very low results. We tried Vista and 7, old, new drivers, factory clocks, practically everything, but it just didn’t worked. 3D Mark 2001 – 94402 – 8800GT @ 846/987/2106 3D Mark 2003 – 58788 – 8800GT @ 994/999/2430 3D Mark 2005 – 37673 – 8800GT @ 999/1053/2592 3D Mark 2006 – 22052 – 8800GT @ 999/1053/2592 3D Mark Vantage – 8750 – 8800GT @ 999/1044/2430 Aquamark – 391 121 – 8800GT @ 999/1053/2592 ASUS GTX 460 TOP 768MB. The card has a non-standard holes so we couldn’t mount the pot on the card, but we did put Megahalems cooler and the maximum temperature on the card was 30°C 3D Mark 2003 – 89902 – GTX 460 768MB @ 980/1090 3D Mark 2005 – 47913 – GTX 460 768MB @ 1000/1095 3D Mark 2006 – 33359– GTX 460 768MB @ 1050/1117 Aquamark – 401 774 – GTX 460 768MB @ 1032/1120 ASUS DirectCu II GTX 570 All the time we had a problems with low results, namely HDR3.0 in 06, low Vantage and very low Nature scores. This morning we finally figured it out what the problem was (mbo), so that the results of the GTX 570 will definitely be improved, since the results should be okay in terms of perf with other motherboard. ASUS DirectCu II GTX 570 had a CB at -60 ° C, the maximum voltage was 1.213v, memory doesn’t like high frequency so we have been very limited. 3D Mark 2003 – 119499 – GTX 570 @ 980/1090 3D Mark 2005 – 49706 – GTX 570 @ 1164/1019 3D Mark 2006 – 38581 – GTX 570 @ 1148/1024 3D Mark Vantage – 30803 – GTX 570 @ 1106/1004 Aquamark – 417 227 – GTX 570 @ 1211/1024 So far, that would be all. Currently we are running the GTX 570 and you can see all the progress live right now on http://www.livestream.com / hwgurus A few photos and movies Edited July 24, 2011 by Quake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quake Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 We tried that too, but no luck with R3E BE We finally got lucky There was a lot of first places, a lot of 2nd, so it is the best for you to see the results. There was too much pictures to post it so we post just link for hwbot 7900GT We were messing up a bit with a 7900GT card which proved to be a failure. -20 and -50 there were no difference, vgpu was at 1.45v, and we worked in parallel with the 2900XT, which has spent a lot of horrible LN2. The results for this card is not the best, but again not too bad. 3D Mark 01 – 81017 – 7900GT @ 750/950 MHz – 4th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2193461_mare085_3dmark2001_se_geforce_7900_gt_81017_marks 3D Mark 03 – 32778 – 7900GT @ 755/955 MHz – 5th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2193455_mare085_3dmark03_geforce_7900_gt_32778_marks 3D Mark 05 – 14465 – 7900GT @ 765/970 MHz – 10th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2193457_mare085_3dmark05_geforce_7900_gt_14465_marks 3D Mark 06 – 8336 – 7900GT @ 760/980 MHz – 12th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2193460_mare085_3dmark06_geforce_7900_gt_8336_marks Aquamark – 221047 – 7900GT @ 760/963 MHz – 12th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2193458_mare085_aquamark_geforce_7900_gt_221047_marks 2900XT The card was spending a lot of LN2, A LOOOOOT, it was something terrible. For half a minute it will come from -60 to +10 if the pot is empty, so we spent too much LN2 on it. The results are not bad, but the card had CB at -80. VGPU was 1.65V, vmem at 2.45v, and the 2.5V VDDQ 3D Mark 01 – 110500 – 2900XT @ 1,117/1,125 MHz – 4th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192899_quake_3dmark2001_se_radeon_hd_2900_xt_512_mb_110500_marks 3D Mark 03 – 55676 – 2900XT @ 1,171/1,125 MHz – 4th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192903_quake_3dmark03_radeon_hd_2900_xt_512_mb_55676_marks 3D Mark 05 – 36096 – 2900XT @ 1,158/1,107 MHz – 2nd place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192905_quake_3dmark05_radeon_hd_2900_xt_512_mb_36096_marks 3D Mark 06 – 17281 – 2900XT @ 1,050/999 MHz – 7th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192908_quake_3dmark06_radeon_hd_2900_xt_512_mb_17281_marks Aquamark – 324808 – 2900XT @ 1,144/1,089 MHz – 5th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192906_quake_aquamark_radeon_hd_2900_xt_512_mb_324808_marks ASUS GTX 570 Direct Cu II The card ran at -65 ° C because CB was a little below 65°C. We did not get any software or BIOS, which would move CB a little or a possibility for more voltage via smart doctor or GPU tweak, which were limited to 1.213v so this was the best we could do 3D Mark 01 – 126672 – GTX 570 @ 1,154/2,308/1,060 MHz – 1st place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192619_perica_barii_3dmark2001_se_geforce_gtx_570_126672_marks 3D Mark 03 – 139349 – GTX 570 @ 1,154/2,308/1,060 MHz – 2nd place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192624_perica_barii_3dmark03_geforce_gtx_570_139349_marks 3D Mark 05 – 51225 – GTX 570 @ 1,154/2,308/1,024 – 2nd place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192625_perica_barii_3dmark05_geforce_gtx_570_51225_marks 3D Mark 06 – 40654 – GTX 570 @ 1,154/2,308/1,060 MHz – 2nd place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192627_perica_barii_3dmark06_geforce_gtx_570_40654_marks 3D Mark 11 – 8246 – GTX 570 @ 1,101/2,202/1,004 MHz – 3rd place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192635_perica_barii_3dmark11___performance_geforce_gtx_570_8246_marks 3D Mark Vantage – 126672 – GTX 570 @ 1,117/2,234/1,019 MHz – 8th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192630_perica_barii_3dmark_vantage___performance_geforce_gtx_570_31202_marks Aquamark – 428877 – GTX 570 @ 1,190/2,380/1,071 MHz – 2nd place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192617_perica_barii_aquamark_geforce_gtx_570_428877_marks Unigine Heaven – 1684.51 – GTX 570 @ 1,070/2,140/1,004 MHz – 7th place http://hwbot.org/submission/2192637_perica_barii_unigine_heaven___xtreme_preset_dx11_geforce_gtx_570_1684.51_dx11_marks 8800GTX Here things really started to get better.
