e8600, 2x 4870x2's, Rampage Extreme, CSX Diablo
For my first LN2 session I assembled one beast of a test bench. My aims were 6Ghz 3d stable, which I didnt get working until 2:30AM and I passed out at 3AM so not much testing. I also wanted to push my 8600 because I have seen a few of the same batch doing 6.2-6.3 3D stable, and 6400-6500 1M's. With no coldbug even at -140° I think I may have a winner on my hands here. The REX was a pleasure to work with. Great ram clocking, awesome stability at super high FSB and clocks, and one hell of an extensive BIOS! Great job Asus.
The CPU pot I had is OK at best for LN2 benching, its much better for DI. Temps swing wildly under load, and when pouring. The best I can do is keep it within a 10° range fluctuation. I had it @ -110 to -120 for most of the session. *Sees an F1EE in his future* Hardware Setup: e8600 820Axxx -140°C lowest tested no CB yet Duniek Copper/Aluminum stepped pot w/ Fluke 52S thermometer 2x 4870x2 w/ Asus TOP Bios stock heatsinks/no mods. (max 850/960) 2x Dryer tube pumping 2°C air into the GFX Cards w/ 2x Delta fans (a 140CFM and a 240CFM) 2x1 GB CSX Diablo (good up to 1080Mhz 8-7-6-18-1T@2.1v or 980Mhz 7-6-6-15-1T@2.1v) Asus Rampage Extreme (Booted at down to -115°C, not CBB yet either) Duniek Northbridge Copper/Aluminum Pot mounted onto existing heatsink assembly (removed waterblock). Not going too cold here because of condensation issues Xion 800 Watt Xitech POST Code PCI Card Vista 32 Home vLited Bios Setup: 600FSB (no setfsb) 1.9 vCore 1.45 vTT 2.1 vDIMM 1.65 vNB loadline disabled (keep rebooting during windows splash screen if enabled) Ram set 7-6-5-15-1T all else on Auto. 333Mhz 5:8 strap, memset the subtimings. |

Dual Card Results
2001 sucks in Vista, but I still managed to take 4th place for this setup.
http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=797441 78852-01-4870x2 x2.jpg 03 is of course a 4870x2's wet dream. Too bad I didnt encounter the "normal" performance for these cards, but instead had the low score "bug." Rubbish imo since only 5-10% of cards get the "normal" performance and the rest have a low score "bug." http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=797439 138192-03-4870x2 x2.jpg 05 I was very happy with, although I just couldnt get 41k - so close! http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=797438 40924-05-4870x2 x2.jpg 06 was a surprise as I was expecting may 28-29k, but actually broke 30k. http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=797437 30043-06-4870x2 x2.jpg AM3 is another bench that crossfireX in vista didnt fare to well in. http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=797442 314888-am3-4870x2 x2.jpg A quick run I started the session with. I forgot to re-run at higher clocks ![]() http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=797444 P19432-4870x2 x2.jpg PiFast was the only 2D bench I ran. I was curious how performance was in vista, and surprising to me it wasnt bad at all. XP is still a touch faster but... this run was TOTALLY unoptimized. Just booted & ran it. http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=797445 15.88-pifast-8600.jpg |

Single Card Results!
3DM01 - Not tweaked or optimized at all. Will be focusing more on 01 with my 4870 and 2x4870 as I believe they are better suited for it. 2008-12-07 16.26.46.jpg 3DM05 2008-12-07 16.46.51.jpg AM3 - last bench I ran when I finally figured out how to get over 6100Mhz ![]() 2008-12-07 17.27.26.jpg 3DM06 2008-12-07 17.38.58.jpg 3DM03 I was getting ultra low score bug ![]() ![]() |
