GOOC 2009 Finals Video

Long overdue, but here’s a video from Team Australia in world finals at GOOC 2009.

dinos22 does 6m20s 32M SuperPi fastest time recorded

Hi guys

I did some testing tonight on LN2 last night and finally managed to grab a screen from latest SuperPi testing. It’s not as efficient as 2:10 CAS7 runs i’ve had at lower clocks but it allows me to bench very high CPU speeds

Here are some details.

Sixes

After a enourmous amount of effort I am happy to announce I am official part of the sixes club… That is below 7minutes in superpi 32m and 7s in superpi 1m!

Achieved on two very different platforms. The 1m result on the enjoyable DFI P45 DDR3 board, accompanied by the Intel E8600.

The 32m result is on the Gigabyte X58-UD5 board, with the help of a nice Intel i7 965 cpu.

i7 920 3836A756 @4769Mhz Air Cooled!

Now that I’ve found my max Bclk limit of 228-230Blck, it’s time to revisit max i7 920 AIR overclocks with HT disabled

Powermate wattage meter = ~280-295 watts idle and peaked at ~461 watts for total system power draw from the wall.

Room temp = 21.5C – 23.5C

System specs

  • Intel Core i7 920 3836A756
  • Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme + LGA1366 Bolt Thru kit + 2x 120×38mm Scythe UltraKaze 2000rpm 87cfm fans in push/pull

Intel Core i7 Singapore Launch Party – i7 965 Live 5+ Ghz benchmarks

Fellow Teamau.net and i4memory.com forum member, Tim Marshall (T_M) was invited to Intel’s Core i7 Singapore launch party and with a live audience and press attending overclocked and benched a Core i7 965 extreme edition processor on LN2 with Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 and GA-EX58-Extreme X58 motherboards. T_M also did some overclocking at Gigabyte’s Taiwan offices.

Hardware used:

  • Intel – Core i7 965xe ES, 80Gb 25-M SSD, TRUE Extreme
  • Gigabyte – UD5 and Extreme mobos, Core i7 965xe’s ES, 4870×2

dinos22 takes 6128MHz with E8500, Biostar P45 & Corsair DDR2 PC10000 Dominators

Biostar proved yet again that it´s capable of ultra high FSB and some serious overclocks and efficiency with sweet E8500 CPU. This kind of benching rig cannot be paired with anything else other than a monster DDR2 kit. Corsair DDR2 PC10000 Dominators were used in this instance

Test Configuration:

Biostar TPower P45 board
1.88-1,92vcore, 2.68vdimm, 1.69vMCH, 1.47vFSB
Intel Core2 Duo E8500 Q740A497
2GB DDR2 PC10000 Corsair DOMINATORS
(645MHz 1:1 4-4-4-8 timings)
PCI GFX Card MX200
620W Corsair PSU
Stock heatsink on NB (LN2 cooled with small pours)
kingpin F1 Extreme Edition Solid copper CPU LN2 Pot
Big mamma 35L LN2 Dewar
160GB PATA
Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3

This CPU is a monster. It was able to handle -150C and it benchmarked at 6GHz 1M Superpi

Even though this board was a monster fsb clocker i was still fsb limited….. :)
