And then there was Heaven!
Thought I’d have another blast today, this time focused on Heaven
Definitely a bit harder to manage all those pots on this benchmark – no time whatsoever to rest 
Was running a bit low on LN2 (single 30L dewar) so only had a chance for 5 or 6 attempted runs. Will come back and try at 6g plus on the CPU once I get refilled on Fri 
Best run before the system had enough was 5270.16, not bad with Global 8th and GTX580 3rd ranked scores 
bob(nz) 4way SLI Benching
Been meaning to get around to this for the past month or more – and finally managed to get myself organised!!
Had a few issues getting SLI running properly, as I kept losing one of the cards when booting up. Needed to strip down the rig about 30 mins in and start again – but this all worked thank goodness
Really just focused on managing the GPU’s, but need to come back and work on the CPU speed and see if I cant knock teammate Dino out of Global Ranking of 4th 
Rig is all retail as follows….
- Gigabyte UD9 Motherboard
- 990X CPU
- Supertalent DDR2000 C7 Memory
- 4 x MSI GTX 580 Lightning Graphics Cards
- All pots ex Kingpin Cooling – F1 Gemini, 3 x Tek 9 6.0 Slims, and 1 x Tek 9 Fat
The result and a couple of pics of the rig…..
Managing 5 pots by yourself is a good workout, and will be even more challenging once the CPU goes real cold – but this is my next mision in a few weeks time
