Xtreme Addict Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited August 16, 2013 by Xtreme Addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Vivi Posted August 16, 2013 Crew Share Posted August 16, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF3D Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 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!

The pot handles my cpu great on cinebench so the functionality of the pot is perfect 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Vivi Posted August 16, 2013 Crew Share Posted August 16, 2013 thanks for the screws tip, i'll use that for future runs for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF3D Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiborrr Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) 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!"

tiborrr Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 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.

Hiwa Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 you have very nice Retail IMC tiborrr. about your problem should be the IMC limit not the board limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
