June Bugged [public thread]

[Kal-EL]

Well, "May Mahem" went extremely well guys, excellent job from just about everyone.
Here has been our progression in round about numbers over last couple months, April
increased by round 1000 boints, May increased by round 2000 boints.

All on fully Retail budgets with absolutely no outside hardware support.

Here we are in June with new Fermi gpus and a redonkeyless nvidia nda restriction on
the sharing of the cold bug bios, mod, oc software. It doesnt look like the **** with the info
are gonna be sharing it anytime soon. Smart move cuz the OC-Alliance would be putting
foot to arse immediately. Instead of Fostering the Fever in the community they hide behind nda agreements.

I call **** on each and everyone one of them. This isn't an NDA agreement, its more like a twisted afraid-to-compete clause.

What do we do? We do like we always do, raise the axe and chop off some nuts. Don't bother with Fermi unless you stand to increase your standings significantly by its use. Eventually someone will grow a pair and the cb mod will find its way into the overclocking community.

This month's team challenge, smoke the last two months boint totals combined 3K + 21,287. Keys to Success:
- Shoring up Hardware points
- Shoring up Global points
- Shoring up Fag-Less Hardware
- Increased hero support between members
- bios support
- OC settings support
- Hardware choice support
- fostering of fever in our Junior Overclockaholics
OCA kicks ass and you knows it, feel the malice. :keeporder:

I've been fruitlessly looking for a June moniker for days and Kal just slides right in with a cherry one.

Slot 3, 4, 5, and 6 better check the mirror. They're all bunched to together and the pins are gonna fly when the OCA freight train punches through.

Thank you my friend, I do what I can to help the team and obviously this wouldn't be possible with the amazing support from all my team members here that contribute immensely thru pm's or phone or in person for the same goal.

I will continue to hammer when I can but already told RomDom that these will be a couple of tough months for me unfortunately.

Go OCA!

I have so much boint potential sitting unopened in boxes right now ... 2nd fermi, 775 board and e8600, and a 295 ready to freeze.

I will have to find a way to get to it, although right now it seems impossible. I am working 14 hour days (7am - 9pm) ... even 8 hours on sunday. Until I can find some wiggle room it looks bad for me this month.

I will do my best to get something done for the team though I swear!

[Hondacity]

its been two hours!!!

work it RomgD

[RomDominance]

Ok doods here is the situation. First I tried the asus vendor code bios, smart doctor will not work with it on the 257.15's. AB does but you have no mem clock control. Then I flashed to the evga vendor code bios, same thing, the unlocked precision works but no mem clock control. Tried the nvidia inspector, same shit.
Got core volt and speed control but no mem. Don't know where to go from here, as this card will do 1250 mem with the mod on it.

[Chuchnit]

What about Hipro bios?

[Jor-El]

What about Hipro bios?

I believe his talking about Hipro BIOS Chuch.

the evga and asus bios are the cold slow 2 but just vendor ID added. maybe try cold slow 1

[karmakazi]

Wow first post is harsh, and quite disappointing. Thats why I think Ill be joining a few other ppl and leaving this hobby behind...

[Splave]

it is what it is karma, best of luck in future endeavors. what will you be pursuing now instead?

[Hondacity]

karma dude

its not the end yet!!! there is hope still... with shammy hipro and kal...and many others ..this hobby is still fruity ...

[karmakazi]

it is what it is karma, best of luck in future endeavors. what will you be pursuing now instead?

Well I have a home business building/repairing computers and selling hardware on ebay. So Ill still be around to keep up on new tech etc.

Ill still overclock but just for fun i think. Hwbot has seriously ruined the hobby for me. Just 3 years ago when I was starting out with serious OC'ing things were so different. It was about fun and friendly competition back then...

karma dude

its not the end yet!!! there is hope still... with shammy hipro and kal...and many others ..this hobby is still fruity ...

Yeah I share your views here, alot of great people still involved... but alot of great people left too for the same reasons (so many I cant even begin to list them all). And I honestly hope things get better, but with more manufacturer involvment the "scene" is just becoming a marketing playground.

I became an active poster here at OCA b/c I loved the attitude I saw here... helpful, humble, fun. Keep it that way guys! :thumbsup:

[Chuchnit]

Good luck Karma. Hope you still come around. :)

[Witchdoctor]

Bummer Karma,

Just had a strong reminder yesterday of how rediculous a lot of this BS has become ...

Hope you hang around still bro ..... I hate to think of another class act leaving the sport ....

Best of luck to you and your family bro ............. :thumbsup:

[Kal-EL]

Wow first post is harsh, and quite disappointing. Thats why I think Ill be joining a few other ppl and leaving this hobby behind...

Yah its harsh and dissappointing having a bunch of yahoo's that think because they work for or are supported by manufacturers, its cool to compete with average joe's hobbiest on a wide scale using special priveleges data sheets and nda mods.

Why do they overclock to begin with?
a) to compete with other overclockers?
b) to compete only with other manfufacturer overclockers?
c)to promote their companies brand?
d) for fun?

If they answered "a" then what kind of jackfruit uses such an imbalanced approach to competition?

If they answered "b" then what kinda jackfruit enters an arena dominated by average joe's, there is no "competition" there.

If they answered "c", well I aint buying your product cuz you suck.

If, they answered "d", good for you, keep your fun in your pants and out of competitions or contests.

I don't intend for this community to be turning into a bunch of secret squirrels pussies that have no intentions of helping each other.

You're no longer a hobbiest when your sucking the tit of the manufacturers, you're a marketing professional. Nobody, not anybody, was born with a wealth of knowledge, somebody else started them on their way, taught them, nurtured them, encouraged them, all with the intentions that they'd pass it along and not hoard the information. So to all those hobbiest turned TOOL, tsk tsk, to be light about it.


Anyways, this isn't the focus of Overclockaholics or the OC-Alliance. Our focus to bench what we brung and we quite enjoy the extra adversities ahead of us. One way or another we will succeed in our goals, thats who we are, thats what we do.

Goal#1 is having the time of our lives :)

SO lets get back on topic with bot mutilation :thumbsup:

[RomDominance]

Guess a little break is in order heh Jaime? With your skills you could easily come back to it if you were so inclined. I guess it is like anything else in life which involves human beings, things can get hairy, but they always seem to turn around sooner or later. I try not to let the words of others get me or my team down. Best of luck bro in your future endeavors.

[Dentlord]

Ok I took the weekend off, so Im benching tonight. 295 and e8600 are all prepped but those will have to wait ... tonight is 480 CB testing night!

Flashed bios for the CB fix and did the CBB mod. Added double caps, and ready to rock...

Very short test earlier had card running at 1200 core right away, then I stopped to thaw and do the CBB mod.

Wish me luck, I might not get many chances in the near future!

Well done 'June Bugged' guys impressive submissions...

I won't be posting anything before the 25th :-(

[Dentlord]

Sorry guys, I couldnt come up with anything ... just one 06 run @ 1190 on the last drops of ln2 after wasting a whole dewar trying to run 03.

Nature by itself would pass easily as high as 1250 but running the whole bench at just 1200, nature would crash everytime?

Sick of running out of ln2, Rom hooked me up with a 50l + extractor for sale, Ill probably jump on it.

gt3 is the craziest bench gt4 is also crazy...

gt3 to gt4 transition might be important....are they the same temps when you test gt3 only?

[Dentlord]

Yeah benching at -120c on the card, its in the middle of nature that it crashes, freeze, then white or black screen hardlock.

[Hondacity]

did the additional caps help?

i'm thinking caps aren't fully charged after gt3..so their exhausted...i'm really interested at eleet with changing the frequency of the pwm.....

or its another ocp...

[Dentlord]

Caps seemed to help fps yes ... but this new crashing I dont know?

PWM was set to 533 (random choice) and ocp checked with eleet.

ALSO

Anyone know about what a decent e8600 should clock on SS?? I got this one to 5500 at -45c, but it took a lot of V (1.7vcc and 1.4vtt)

[Hondacity]

thats a decent fsb...what 775 mobo?

i got mine upto 535fsb its a weak e8600

on water cooling 20c...i could clock 5ghz easy on my old e8600

here's patch 's e8600 http://www.overclock.net/7173086-post1.html

It was a thermal wall, not a fsb wall. I got 600fsb with 8x to test, so under ln2 should be ok to 6ghz

Today after I talked with RomDom I decided to have a break from busy life and bench the last 10L I had left on my 20L dewar (probably 10L evaporated since week after Memorial Day).

I was basically getting the system ready to pass Hiwa and Nickshih testing some different ways to mount the Venom 5 and going VERY easy on volts:

1024m/32m:

The dispute is getting pretty hot, passed Nick on 1024m and passed Hiwa on 32m...This cpu is so easy on vcore!

[GFDuke]

I'm in the process of modding another 480 and i have a F Batch that i'm working on. voltage is a bit weird as well as the cbb. I just need to iron out some stuff i think. As soon as the 480 is totally modded/flashed/what the fuck ever i am capable of doing to it/and ready to rock i'm going to conference with the Romulans and see wtf we can do to make something happen. It seems nearly impossible to get some kind of "Harmony" between hardware lately. Get a good cpu and cant get a good GPU. and Visa Versa. I must say this is going to be a last hurrahh for a 480 for this Ferengi. After this its going to be all killing old hardware for team bointage. This is my 6th 480 and 3rd 980x. enough is enough, The next gen of hardware will come and all of this CRAP hardware will be forgotten.

Thats my Fire

See you on the Battlefield!!!

Rock on OCA.

I hear you Duke. After six 5870's, I only went with one 480. I've been to toying with the idea of trying a 4th 980x, but those things are just too damn expensive to bin.

Not buying any more expensive stuff until the next generation. Gonna keep my eye out for a good 975, though. I'm way behind on 2D boints and ain't wasting any more time on P55.
