single card WR goal :D
 

yes yes here we go .
k this week i have 2 HD X2900XT's incoming , and have some nice planning .
the goal is to take down at least more then 1 single card WR , massman and i will be heading up the road where the giants battle .
ordered 35L LN² , massman will bring one or both his piotres GFX containers i have my dragon evo for cpu .
main goal is 05 then 06 , 01 , 03 .
i'll be having updates from max air and cascade clocks , because the software tools to oc in CF are not done yet, will only do single card with the best one of the two .
will we exceed in ur goal ? will see next sunday !


step 1 preparing the motherboard for heavy cooling .
first defense against condensation and death motherboard is a spray that lays a fine layer of silicon on the pcb.
cover the pci/pci-e slots with tape and the rest of the components that dont need the spray or that may not be sprayed .
and spray away , not do this in a well ventilated room !
let it dry in for a night .

to be continued :p

john als er groove typo's in staan ga uw gang , pics volgen morgen ;-)

Good luck.
You'll need it :p

i will need more then luck bro skill will be need hard ;) , just finished with setting up windows ;)

I hope you are aiming for Xt wr records and not general records, 03 /06/01 ain't going to happen...
Good luck though!

lets see if i can break kinc is clocks on a brazed container :D, the cola trick will have to do the job on taking the heat :p

"the cola trick" is drinking 2L bottle to keep yourself awake?:p

nah old man :p
i have this under the benching desk to keep me awake ;)

this is the cola trick !

ask witte , this way i can hold the load off a quad core like hell u will see sunday how high see will fly !

the P5K has all full solid caps ;) .
the only differens is one more option in bios and thats it :p its the vdroop option , there we have mods for

no clear response on the "cola trick" , still stands for "boozing it up" in my book

give me one day without cola and il die , il even kill for it :p

It has something to do with keeping the ln² temp from fluctuating to much :)

I'm really looking forward to sunday ... |D

anything more scientific than "it has something to do with"? :)

well it hard to explain , but witte whase surely exprest by the Ln² :D.
Ln² has a boiling point off -196°C or so , to get to that point u need to have a surten amount of Ln² .
the stuff in cola (sugger , the stuff that forms gas dont know the name) in contact with Ln² make's it boil very fast at less Ln² .
the controll is 2°C less controll but the heat absorption is mutch bigger , this what we need .
becaus a quad puts out a huge amount off heat after 1.62vcore , normaal Ln² cant keep up and temps start to rise .
the cola trick is a nice add , it whase found by a little fauld @ ZDnet when we benched there .
little chunks of cola fall in to pot , there is where i saw what happed .
so i did the same thing here @ my home and found out that it helps with high load heat out put .
im really the finder of this trick so all credits come to me .
if i get the WR in 05 il put out the trick on XS , im sure some will say that is allready know but if asked vince (kingpin) and no one did this .
he will be testing it soon 2 :p

no u guys know it so hehe

Sweet, that's one for the article :D

so Coke is an accelerator for evaporating LN2 ?

DId you spill some by accident to find this out? ;)

spilled some in the bucked where we refilled the pot with , phase cooling a guy Can of cola in the Ln² it started to foam and some fell in to the bucked froze up and there we had it little pieces whet into the tube there u have it .
second time i did this to see if it really worked and it did :p

most discoveries are made "by accident" indeed :D

Indeed, Coke (like in Coca Cola ;)) really seem to have an impact on LN2 cooling performance. First you'll have take a small amount of coke and deepfreez it, then you'll have to break the frozen Cola appart into little chunks which are then trown inside you ALU/CU cooling tube. Then add LN2 and do the regular LN2 benchmarking stuff...

What would be the cause of this? I don't think it's is because of a gas escaping from the coke-chunks, that way the effect would go away after a while which and on first sight that didn't seem to happen. Maybe it's because Cola is based on water, which on his turn can handle heat quite good and theirefore causes rapid LN2 boiling. Or maybe not, I'm no engineer :)

In the end it's hard to judge for me if it really worked, because I didn't compare with or without Coke added, though there was not much swing between idle and load which I though was a real problem when benchmarking with LN2. Also, if this trick does work, this would also mean that there wold be a optimal LN2-Cola mix for each kind of tube. If you're bored you know what to do :)

lol yeah temp swinging :p , one thing u can be sure temps only go down this way .
4.8ghz 06 and i got to low temps and hitted coldbug :D.
geoffrey i dont think there is a exact amount of cola/LN² mix , but i know that u dont have to use mutch ;) .
hope to see u playing around with LN² soon bro , give me call if u need the dewar :p

il be shutting down the contest for now untill sunday when i and massman benched .
have some bad and some good news .
air liqued in aalter is closing from this friday , but the good part is that thy give me a number from where i can get LN² from now on .
beernem is 1 mutch closer and i can get all evenighs after 5pm , hope the price will be the same .

Can someone lend us a 3dmark05 Pro licence? We really need one to see our scores without having to upload them all the time

A licence can only be used once with one emailadress.
Sorry, it won't work that way.

Damn .. that sucks

snelle test voor morgen .
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3177496
op air zat kaartje met atitool aan 895core en 1017mem .
and a little pic from what u will be looking @ tomorrow
Attachment 851

lol, nog een kleine 4k en ge zit al aan Macci :p

Save score, open the file with excel.

Should work ;), no need for license ;)

Does that work for 3dmark05 too?

(Notice how I don't remember this ... I haven't benched for too long :angry:)

MMM, I used it with 3D06, that I know for sure...

mision not fauld but not passed :no: .
de kaart hield er mee op dees morgen op air , zomaar :s .
P5K heeft mss een corrupte bios , zal morgen nog zien .
maar we hebben wel ons denk ik veel geamuseert , 6300 @ 620fsb ge zou is moet zien jong .
WR pi , Wprime 32m/1024 is van ons ;) , als men 2de X2900XT er is ga ik verder testen .
we hebben schone pics van 6200 onder Ln² :D !
piotke call me on msn plz

Yeah, the card booted into windows and then just stopped working ... :(

I'll upload the E6300 results within a few minutes. The Cpu-z you'll see is done with 1.57v. Even with 1.7v, we couldn't get any higher ... so maybe we just need a board with more FSB :D

I'll upload some pics too :)

piotke at work, pm me.

wPrimes will follow, cpu-z verification files are still on blinds harddisk. We managed to to 4375 and prolly fsb limited. Next time we really need to get the PCMark and Spi32M wr :)

Watch out when you see this car cruising ... I might be in it |D



Ready to be powered up ...



This was still good :)



Even got it to boot into windows



Switching to GF6200 + QX6700



Frost everywhere





We couldn't do serious 3d benching as we had never worked with the QX and DFI before ... maybe next time :)

What clock did you get out of the 6200?

Nothing, we had to deal with random reboots :(

Aiming for the HD2900XT top spot? One tip: concentrate on the VGA core clock, the card doesn't really benefit from faster memory. I'm still collecting data so I can't verify if this is a true fact.

geoff the card loves both :D
my second card came today and holly **** this one looks pretty cool in the way off not so hot .
fan @ 100% 65°C full load 3D :o

Atleast verify with some numbers then, mine say the total opposit mind you...

In fact, its know that with DDR4 there wasn't a noticable performance gain over DDR3 and so the card were equiped with the older DDR3 instead of the brand new DDR4.

both off mine are asus and same batch , both have GDDR3 ;)
GDDR4 is only for X2900XT 1GB version ;)

You didn't really get my point did you ;)
