started benching this rig

i5 650
asus P7P55D
a-data 2000x 2x2gb 2000mhz
8800 gts 640mb
vapochill LS

this is my vapochill LS
i added a second 120mm fan to the condensor to help with load temps. i made a wooden mount because i couldn't afford or wait for a proper s1156 mount. it looks funny but it works well.

8800GTS 640MB vGPU and VMEM voltmodded
xigmatek gpu cooler-ramsinks with thermal adhesive
standard clocks 513/792
standard max OC 612/891
vmodded max OC 729/1026

i had to resolder part of the vmem mod to fit the card next to OCZ ddr3 ram cooler

i got some pretty decent results with the i5 650 cpu

i didnt have my ATI 5850 as i was waiting for it back from RMA, so i didn't do too much 3D stuff. i recieved it 2 days after qualifying finished.

i reached the limit of what i could accomplish with that system. being a cheaper motherboard, the max vCORE is 1.7v. i wanted more. so i started looking at the chips around the cpu area to try to figure out a voltmod. i found one which i thought was for cpu voltage, found the datasheet and figured out the mod. jaycar was shut so i used fixed resistors, starting from 200k ohms, to 150k to 100k to 50k. no change in voltage. i had one 10k ohm variable resistor (multiturn trimpot). which i used last. turned down and no change to cpu voltage. then the screen froze. i noticed the IMC voltage was 1.57v. way higher than i had set. turned VR back up, rebooted into bios hardware monitor, and the voltmod works. only its for the IMC/VTT voltage. not a bad effort for the first vmod ive tried to figure out myself. so i tried another chip (EPU) but no luck. there was another chip (PEM) but no datasheet so who knows what the FB pin is out of about 42 pins. i think the EPU chip and the PEM chip work together to control the VRM. god knows how to do a vmod with two chips. vmods are totally unrequired on the higher model P7P55D deluxe etc.

so very disappointed i decided to get some new toys (not the kind your girlfriend likes)

benching rig number 2:

i5 670
GIGABYTE P55A-UD6
Gskill trident 2133 with turbulance fan
same 8800 gts

i prepared this motherboard much the same as the other, but used faber castell eraser instead of the cheaper monte-marte. is is more maleable and sticky. much better to apply. i also covered a bit more around the cpu just to be safe.

i feel the 650 i got was from a better batch than the 670, but what can you do. still got some decent scores though.

i only posted screenshots of my best scores. most of my time after these was trying to better my superpi 32M. later finding out i need a cpu with more cache to compete with the 980x benchers for that particular benchmark. i did manage the fastest 1M time though of us three in the poll. im happy with that.

BTW the i5 670 needed well over 1.7v to reach those clocks

anyhoo thanks for reading. hope you will vote for me.

Some Vantage Performance action, Hardware Gold Cup on the bot for 4870x2 CFX

I am not a experienced 2D bencher, but I ran this the other night

Come on OCAU, lets make this the biggest event yet, everyone who can,please drop in, It would be great to put real names and faces to avatars.
Wether I make it or not I'll be at the event, I am chuffed just to qualify

Thank You OCAU

Hi OCAU

On Water my new system :

EVGA Classified 760
Dominator GT C8 2000mhz
I7 980X retail
Corsair HX1000w
Gigibyte 8800GTS 640

Hailea Aquarium Water Chiller

SuperPi 32m:

SuperPi 1m:

Wprime 32m:

Now after seeing Ando's results on his Ep45t-Extreme & E8500 on air i decided to dust mine off and see what i could do...ON AIR

With Similar clocks i wasn't able to match him... so well done to him

heres my results

SuperPi 1m:

SuperPi 32m:

This I found to be a lot of fun, going back to an older rig and trying things out I didnt earlyer.......
