Finally got Critical point ES (Flash point) to test. Retail version will be out soon.

 

 

It works very well!

Nice craftmanship looks are killer !

looks very good

I fell in love

 

 

 

So easy to bench with this pot

Lightning? What voltage?

Picture host seems to be down at the moment..

 

The card is ASUS DCII. Probably best design on 7970's.. like usual

When I did my guide, I also claimed DCU2 are awesome your card is simply awesome

Great

I finally benched seriously Hasfail platform, this time using EK-SF3D Inflection Point EVO & EK-SF3D Triple Point EVO

 

1. Mounting system works great, it's easy and fast (but you need to get used to it after using old brackets).

2. CPU and MEM pots don't freeze motherboard as much as much bigger pots, but still handle 4770K Hasfail very well in 2D benchmarks.

3. During OC I was using HEAT system, not sure if it helped, but I could bench my Hasfail longer with full MHz (6.5+ SPI32M) before it gets "tired" and loses stability at full MHz, normally it happens after 30-40 minutes, and I benched 2+ hours without any stability loss.

4. Isolation on board for CPU pot is a piece of cake

I like the pots overall too,

the only "complaint" i would have is the mounting system is too complicated for quick installation, like at a live competition swapping out CPU's might take a bit long, i would prefer a traditional mounting system too just for the quick experienced bencher! The pot handles my cpu great on cinebench so the functionality of the pot is perfect

I know what you mean Vivi, but if you have screwdriver with correct head it is actually a lot faster than anything before. Maybe we need to do a video of CPU swap

 

The small tool which comes in a package is not very handy in real life situation, that part I agree

 

E: Very nice result in 32m Michal and with retail CPU!

It's very fast, but you need to have screwdriver (not this small allen key which is in accessories, it's not handy for very "fast" remounting) or replace screws for bigger like I did (cause I have fat fingers and small screws, especially from dram pot is very hard for me to "aim" into holes, and I personally don't like allen key type screws )

 

 

@Petri

 

CPU is not bad for a retail Hasfail and so far it works and didn't degrade!

 

BTW

 

During SF3D Gathering, we used EK-SF3D Inflection Point EVO with LGA 2011 setup.

 

 

You can imagine how hot this beast is when you have 1.7v + -35*C bench temperature

thanks for the screws tip, i'll use that for future runs for sure!

Yes, that is the easiest way to do it, but of course it looks a bit home made then

 

It is nice, that you are starting to get used to this new pot now

I know you will love it sooner or later

It looks home made cause it's home made lol I found those screws in my box of screws and with pads they work like charm! Maybe not so sexy looking like original , but for me it's faster and more easy (easier than buying screw driver with dedicated head haha)

Hows retail production of the EK-SF3D 'Flash Point' GPU pot coming along? Havent seen it pop up on the webstore for purchase yet.

I think soon, very soon from what I heard

Hey,received the EK memory pot the other day and should be trying it soon

Edited September 4, 201311 yr by Bullant

This will be out first:

 

AMD mounting system:

 

GPU pot will be out soon.

If someone like to get these "news" faster, you can check my facebook page (SF3Doc)

 

P.S Nice Bullant! Show us how your memory fly with it

DDR3-4078 on retail chip by Moonman and myself: http://www.ekwb.com/news/390/19/EK-SF3D-gear-DDR3-4078-reached-new-AMD-mounting-available/

 

Benching at -185°C with our aluminum module adapters (plates) on the memory is a breeze. With copper adapters we can probably go full pull, to ~ -195°C, we will try this today.

 

 

 

Moonman: "I booted at DDR3-3960"

tiborrr: "Okay, i'll check whether it survives POST"

Guy in the background: "No wai bro!"

very nice bros.

Thanks Karl!

 

Well, it seems there is a limit with either the board or the IMC. Boots at 2034MHz, craps out at 2039MHz. On some multipliers BCLK doesn't want to work above one point through GTL anymore This was the last try at home yesterday before the LN2 ran out.

 

you have very nice Retail IMC tiborrr. about your problem should be the IMC limit not the board limit.

Great

Great pics of the RIVE!

 

Are you guys using art eraser around the mounting mechanism?
