August 30, 201113 yr And I would of gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling Belgium. Nice work Iron Edited August 30, 201113 yr by El Gappo
August 30, 201113 yr Tnx gappo, waiting for your final fireworks there! Tonight I'll be benching again, yeasterday evening I left much juice inside that cpu, hope to improve, especially in Vantage and (lol) pcmark
August 30, 201113 yr The only fireworks coming from me right now are from my hardware, had about 2 minutes on Ln2 at the settings and I've been running all week on phase, pffft dead cpu. Massive waste of money that was. No signs of wet anywhere, really don't know what's gone on.
August 30, 201113 yr Same to me yesterday evening, burned choke, no signs of condensation on mosfets or chokes. Had the mobo rmaed today, fortunately, so that I could bench even tonight. Don't know if it's related or not, but the mobo died a few minutes after I raised PLL to 2,6v... who knows... I'm sorry you can't reply :\
August 30, 201113 yr Got it running in the biostar, it's the board Doubt I can get a new one in the morning.
August 31, 201113 yr Ok, this mobo (ud4h) has some flaw in electric design. I put@ln2 this cpu on the asus mobo for many times, hours and hours non-stop, no probs at all. 2 days ago, after days of testing at air with the UD4H, I put it@ln2 and after 2/3hours, puff, mosfet gone. Had it rmaed yesterday, so I improved insulation (even if it wasn't necessary) and I tried to lower the voltages... after 2 hours, mosfet gone. The same happened to Gappo, after a few hours at ln2. This mobos, I repeat, are not suitable for ln2, unless they put some OCP circuit really functioning... cpu pll was at default, fch default, ram 1,8v cpu 1,53, gpu 1,28... no condense, no extreme voltages. 2 rmas in 2 days for a 125euros mobo, isn't something you accept with a smile on the face. The competition is great, really funny and interesting, but I must say even the not so good points
August 31, 201113 yr That sucks man Think it's the cold that kills it. Has the fet actually blown or have you just lost power like I did? Mine worked after baking, but not for 3d. Edited August 31, 201113 yr by El Gappo
September 1, 201113 yr The mosfet blew up with smoke coming from under the heatsink... same for the first mobo, another mosfet near to the last one, where there's no condensation at all! Anyway, thanks to all for the competition, very interesting to study and learn about this platform, to beat someone scores and to be beaten by other scores from other users! Even counting the bad days with the mobos, it's still a positive experience! Congratz to all the clockers involved, see you in the next battlefield
September 1, 201113 yr Author Congrats to the winner and all the contestants in this challenge, see you in the next one.
September 2, 201113 yr great work guys, congrats. @ iron: i always thought you are such a noob, it's clear someone gave you the screenshots and you only uploaded them here asd. - j/k of course, you did really a great work -
September 2, 201113 yr GIGABYTE knows your nicknames!! ... and they will contact you for the prizes .
September 2, 201113 yr Kewl El Gappo for Presidents wife !! Good job there man !! Whoa woa woa, who's the president?
September 2, 201113 yr great work guys, congrats. @ iron: i always thought you are such a noob, it's clear someone gave you the screenshots and you only uploaded them here asd. - j/k of course, you did really a great work - Don't know if I'm supposed to say "thanks" or "fluck you" Ok, thanks
September 6, 201113 yr Thanks Mad! Guys, have you already been contacted by gigabyte? It's the first time I enter in a competition so I don't know how many days they need to organize etc...
September 26, 201113 yr The prize arrived today! In the next few days I'll try it on ubuntu, hoping for a decent support for that hardware, maybe in the 11.10 release. Thank Giga and hwbot for hosting the comp!
