Happy new year men and can I say damn impressive December let's keep trolling!

[Witchdoctor]

Well tonight was a total fail due to turenchal down pour ........ :ohcrap:

had a chance to play with some SLI 580's for about an hour, long enough to figure out a few things like these lightnings are not that great.

Mv what is safe for air cooling outside ambient ... my evga cards just showed the acutual voltage so wondering what gets me to 1.2 to 1.25 vcore

Hope to try again tommorow if the weather is good but could not even get Vantage to pass at 900 core :shock: using + 50mv ........... WTF

my vinillas did 955 on air

[Splave]

need way more vcore, like +150mv for 1000 :D

[kikicoco1334]

happy new year farts!

now let's party and pushin

Hey guys, got a quick question....
I just modded my NF7-S the other day, but the prob is it only booted once
Here is a video of it..

anyone know what's going on?
If i remove the mod it boots right up...

[thebanik]

Happy New Year guys. Let's take #9 this week.

:thumbsup: ........... Happy New Year to All

I feel this is gonna be my month, :P :taunt: :taunt: :taunt:

Finally lots of hardware to bench this month, hopefully will have lots of time too......Would be benching 580 too with KP pot (my earlier pot used to drop down to -80C load from -160C idle).

Although I won't have much time to bench since I report to my new command Jan 9, I will still build a small bench area in the garage in case I do get the time to bench. Just miss it too much.

Keep pushing brothas!!!

been sooo busy with holiday goodness, got to test 2 out of the 5 new 2500k's

They are all of the same batch and so far on inside air...

5655 BSOD loading XP 1.65v
5700 BSOD loading XP 1.65v

They want some cold action :D

First chip is strange, got the blinking cursor at x52, tried 101x52 and it booted and the proceeded to boot 56x101 so try messing with bclk before you frisbee a chip. Could have been just a fluke though I will test more.

3 more of the same batch tomorrow and some cold testing ;) w00t

Bad news on my end. Customer backed out on a job that was gonna take me through February. Happy 2012. Looks like i'm back in retirement until something breaks. Hopefully not me.

Ahh man that blows dude. keep digging, something will come along.:thumbsup:

Shit is tough out there, I was hoping being an election year things woudld take a turn for the better, look like the cold is here now though.

I had a two million dollar apartment job awaarde to me, just to see it evaporate due to some bank in who the fuck knows where pulling the funding they had already approved.

I hope things turn around soon for tradesmen ,,,, it is no wonder not many kids are going in to the trades these days

I was going to, but with my board down I am out of the hunt for the foreseable future, sucks as I wanted to make a run at the top 100 in the league ......... no body seems to know anything about the 06 debug here or any other forums ??? calling Asus tonight when I get home, praying they can help as I can't justify investing in this platform again and sandy-e is not all that and rediculosly expensive ATM

Older cards are great, but with only one winner for each card it makes little difference in the big picture for team boints, baring a huge jump. The big deal with this revision is deversity, they claim this is to help smaller teams and sharing, but larger teams with a more deversified hardware base still have a huge advantage :Dizzy: What are they thinking ....... :blink:

The new rev makes the GPU strength list obsolete. I will have to start a new HPP's list to include hardware that has not been benched by our team yet. But truth be told big Al is on it. AMD is our weakest area in this reguard.

[GFDuke]

^^^^
Why i've decided to sell my Lightning. Theres no sense in spending time or money on something thats not going to be beneficial. There are many things to consider when buying these days. You will get hardware points but we roll as a team around here. The 7970? Well again it's who's got the money and has the best chips to run it. Anything after that are just user hardware points. They really did mess it up.

Completely agree, benching for global or decent hardware points does not at the end give you the satisfaction that getting team points gives.

[Witchdoctor]

You can still get all the globals out of it.

The top GPU and CPU will always hold the global cards as previous scores will have less value as beaten by new gen, Ran by sponcers and set up to benifit sponcers .... LOL so the new cards and CPU's are a must for top level competition still.

Now to maximize boints all levels of each gen will be required to exploit the system. Ran by sponcers and set up to benifit sponcers ....

you see if you really look at the numbers it is set up for one thing and one thing only. benifit the sponcers ......... :laughing:

I look at it as the just re-malched the playgound .......... lots of splinters when it is new and it stinks

repeat hardware is only good towards team total if said result is in your personal top 20 and if second only 10% and top 15 globals 100%

The the way I am looking at buying now for personal gain is simple

Globals = total/15
Hardware = Total/20

My case for example

166.3 Globals = and average of 11.08 (Keep in mind this is an average)


So looking at hardaware in that scence I need to be able to do better than 11.8 for global revunue as of today to be worth my money

383.6 = and average of 19.18

and better than 19.18 for hardware

GPP's and HPP's are only awarded to the top, this is where hardawre diversity comes in
Fro team boints it is real simple, just buy something no one else on the team has benched yet

If eveyone on the team grabbed a card that no one else has benched yet, it significantly boost the team total as opposed to everyone going out and buying the same card and only realizing HPP's once and 10% of hardware

I think this is right but still trying to get my head wrapped around this

If it is correct I have to hand it to them, this is the best system yet for maximizing corprate profits .... simple marketing genius

[Patch]

Spent 2 days getting XP, Vista and 7 tuned up for freezing the 4870X2 for some rockin hardware/team boints.

Then I f'd up voltage while preparing a bunch of bioses to flash during benches and killed the card. :ohcrap:

So I did this instead.

http://overclockaholics.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6075&stc=1&d=1325756730

That might get me 12's spot in the league. Temporarily.

[Witchdoctor]

LOL .........

Neither could I ........... :laughing:

Here is my grasp on it, if anyone knows this to be off base please chime in as I am trying to get my head wrapped around this so I know how to proceed to max boints on my limited budget.

OK ....... :) This does not includ hardware masters as that counts them all but no Power points

Teams league

1. you will get 100% boints for your top 15 global efforts the rest are thrown away (Keep in mind they are ever changing and ultimantly loose value due to getting beat or new hardware release crushimg them)

2. You get 100% boints for your top 20 hardware efforts the rest are thrown away
(Keep in mind they are ever changing and ultimantly loose value due to getting beat)

3. This is based on our teams results only. If you are the best score in any hardware catagory you will recieve all those boints as long as they meet the top 20 criteria above
and be elgible for for the Hardware power points (Only one member on the team can meet this criteria for any said hardware)

4. If you are second or worse in any said hardware catagory you will only recieve 10% of the hardware value as long as it meets the top 20 criteria and power points are not awarded

So as stated on my past post, New hardware will always be a must to compete on a high level to maintain the best possible 15 global efforts

Hardware is where it gets tricky, lets say you have two instances that represent you two top hardware runs meaning highest value

the highest is a bronze worth 30 boints
the second highest is a 12th place worth 15 boints

On your bronze run you got beat by a team mate who got the gold, but on the 12th place run you were the highest recorded on the team

that bronze run would only be worth 3 boints for the team
the 12th place run would be worth 15 boints for the team and be elgible for the hardware power points let say it wwas 5.4 HPP's making this 12th place run worth a total of 20.4 points apposed to your bronze run that was actually a better effort.

I beleive this system is unsistainable and will be changed yet again in time

But as you can see a half assed run on crap hardware that no one else on the team has benched will reap more boint revenue than a way awsome 2nd place run on some hot rod hardware

I hope that clears it up Banik and I hope I have it right or I will have to read the whole damm thing over again

Allen is the expert on this subject though. This all stemmed from me trying to figure out waether to but a 7970 or a 6850 and 6870 ............. :laughing:


The teams are getting close and we need boints bad, either one would help the team but what corse will reap the most, the math is still in the works based on how bad these things pound 580 globals :ohcrap:

i was wondering what's the minimum lowest t-boints you can get?
i been getting some 2.9~3.2s i was just wondering
been clocking some of those socket a like i promised, seems like my g.skill ultra 500 is kinda degraded or something cuz it don't wanna run spi 32 @ 200 2.5-4-4-7 anymore when it's rated at 250 at that timing
i am at 2.9v

[thebanik]

LOL .........

Neither could I ........... :laughing:

Here is my grasp on it, if anyone knows this to be off base please chime in as I am trying to get my head wrapped around this so I know how to proceed to max boints on my limited budget.

OK ....... :) This does not includ hardware masters as that counts them all but no Power points

Teams league

1. you will get 100% boints for your top 15 global efforts the rest are thrown away (Keep in mind they are ever changing and ultimantly loose value due to getting beat or new hardware release crushimg them)

2. You get 100% boints for your top 20 hardware efforts the rest are thrown away
(Keep in mind they are ever changing and ultimantly loose value due to getting beat)

3. This is based on our teams results only. If you are the best score in any hardware catagory you will recieve all those boints as long as they meet the top 20 criteria above
and be elgible for for the Hardware power points (Only one member on the team can meet this criteria for any said hardware)

4. If you are second or worse in any said hardware catagory you will only recieve 10% of the hardware value as long as it meets the top 20 criteria and power points are not awarded

So as stated on my past post, New hardware will always be a must to compete on a high level to maintain the best possible 15 global efforts

Hardware is where it gets tricky, lets say you have two instances that represent you two top hardware runs meaning highest value

the highest is a bronze worth 30 boints
the second highest is a 12th place worth 15 boints

On your bronze run you got beat by a team mate who got the gold, but on the 12th place run you were the highest recorded on the team

that bronze run would only be worth 3 boints for the team
the 12th place run would be worth 15 boints for the team and be elgible for the hardware power points let say it wwas 5.4 HPP's making this 12th place run worth a total of 20.4 points apposed to your bronze run that was actually a better effort.

I beleive this system is unsistainable and will be changed yet again in time

But as you can see a half assed run on crap hardware that no one else on the team has benched will reap more boint revenue than a way awsome 2nd place run on some hot rod hardware

I hope that clears it up Banik and I hope I have it right or I will have to read the whole damm thing over again

Allen is the expert on this subject though. This all stemmed from me trying to figure out waether to but a 7970 or a 6850 and 6870 ............. :laughing:


The teams are getting close and we need boints bad, either one would help the team but what corse will reap the most, the math is still in the works based on how bad these things pound 580 globals :ohcrap:

Wow!!!!! Thanks a lot for the effort witchy.....This was really helpful. After the recent changes, I didnt really understand how I was contributing to the team points. Now I do know why I am so pathetic, :laughing::laughing:

[thebanik]

Spent 2 days getting XP, Vista and 7 tuned up for freezing the 4870X2 for some rockin hardware/team boints.

Then I f'd up voltage while preparing a bunch of bioses to flash during benches and killed the card. :ohcrap:

So I did this instead.

That might get me 12's spot in the league. Temporarily.


Awesome work Patch......#3 in the overclockers league, :D.....

If I would have been in US, would not have left bugging you without taking a Party, :thumbsup:

Btw I said it earlier too, are you not considering switching to Pro OC League??? Being at the top of OC League is really a joke. It would still feel like Second rate if you ask me (though please dont think its to take away anything from the achievement. Its simply an outstandingly brilliantly awesome achievement)

[Witchdoctor]

I completly disagree Banik

If anything I think the OC league is more prestigous than the pro league.

No suckleware users here, no disrespect to Pro suckleware users.

It is just a different playing field when you had to spend the money for the parts IMO

Yup no doubt it and I completely agree that spending your own money to set records is much more harder and respectful as well (and as we all know though Splave is in Pro-OC but he receives only handful of a product but spends a hell lot more from his own pocket)

But I dont remember where exactly but its the Pro-OC league ranking which is being displayed on the right hand side of hwbot. Which is what everyone sees. For OC League ranking one has to select a drop down and select OC League. You see the difference. Not everyone would even see those ranking except for a few who are regular on hwbot or want to check their own ranking etc.

[Witchdoctor]

I see your point bro, but in all due respect, Evreyone in the overclocking league knows very well who Patch is. Ahhhh lets just say one of the most prolific overclockers in the world today. he along with Joey and Bren have competed on a world stage with the best in the business and none are in the pro leauge. When Al competed at that level he was not in the pro league at that time. And I think it is a fiar statment to say these 4 gentlement are some of the best in the business hands down. I would think all thier peers would agree with that statment being pro's or not.

Titles are what they are but Michael Jackson said it best

"I don't want to spend my life being a color"

That is reflecting on race but it works the same way in overclocking, why spend your time being a title, is it not enough just to be one of the best at what you do? and does someone joining the pro league or dropping to the enthusisat level make them any better or worse at overclocking ???


I for one would be happy if it just returned to the way it was, one league



zjZwi_PJiio

[Splave]

IMO there are two leagues within the pro league, company employees and regular joe overclockers like suicide phoenix (great guy btw)

I can list what ive gotten for free, a Rampage IV extreme, a MSI 560TI, GTX580 lightning (after breaking the heaven single card WR), 6970 lightning, G.skill 16gb kit, some thermaltake PSU's and a keyboard, thortech psu, geil 16gb kit, mouse.... and it turns out im spending more than I ever have to keep up and make people happy. $1100 chip and $600 motherboard to bench a $300 memory kit rofl! Im very humble to it actually and it goes to show if you want to get there you can, takes a shitload of time and shitload of money but its possible if you want it. To me it is a side effect of doing what I love so its all good...

[Witchdoctor]

LOL ........... Dude you are just an outright overclocking animal ............ :laughing:

The skill, money and time you put into this is incredible .......... :Hi:

And for the record, This was the way I have felt since the NBOC days when we used to just talk about guys getting free shit. You have arived my friend and deservingly so. So whether you are a Pro, extremeOC or enthusisast makes little difference to me.

Me I love to bench, for fun, I am not so sure I would like the pressure you speak of, buying a 1K CPU to bench a half baked kit ....... LOL I don't think so, the least they could have done is send you the 600 dollar kit ...... :rofl

Bastards ............ :morpheus:

[HybridChiller]

waiting for new ^su, more power for gtx580 second run on ln², previous the psu wasn't strong enough.

Have also a 9800gx2, 8800gtx ready for benching then.

Looking for some cheap ass 8800gtx so i can run 1x 2x 3x 4x 8800gtx SLI

Then i sell everything and going for Acards

I remember when I got a 980x never again buying a 1k cpu lol

I'm thinking about getting some ln2 tomorrow wife said no :blink:

But looking to get some gold on the 570 but I suck at tweaking for 3d got the cpu but no skill :laughing:

[Patch]

A-cards. Now that's serious benching.

No desire to go pro. Already have a nice career and there's no way in hell any company would pay me enough to make it worth my time to bench their stuff. Too many strings for me. Only exceptions would be if Intel wanted to give me 100 chips to bin, or if ASUS/MSI gave me 10 cards to bin. There are only 2-3 people in that situation, and they truly work FOR the companies.

Top benchers all know who the top benchers are. The front hwbot page is really for the manufacturers.

[thebanik]

Splave/Patch, can we test SB-E max multi on air just like SB???? I know different boards have different telltale signs but want to get just a quick idea......

[Patch]

Yes. Cold gives a little more but won't make a bad chip good.

[Splave]

Splave/Patch, can we test SB-E max multi on air just like SB???? I know different boards have different telltale signs but want to get just a quick idea......

Depends really, I was told that it doesnt set the multi till windows starts loading now instead of right before. So now you will get a BSOD or freeze during windows loading instead of blinking command prompt.

You can max CPU-z on air 2c2t around where you will max 6c12t for cpu tests on cold.

[Gutterz]

I just want a scaling platform back. I feel for you guys for having to deal with sandy bridge for a year lol, Ivy bridge prolly wont be better. Here is my pattern Buy chip from MC drive home, test, fail, sell on ebay repeat order. So far my first chip is the best chip comming in at 57xx mhz. found an extra 60mhz in a 8 degree window between -20 to -28c. Now I try every 5 degrees from -20 to -100 at blinky cursor disease. On a positive note Ln2 last ALOT longer than when I benched x58.

Has anyone noticed a pattern between the Malaysia an Costa Rica chips? I had 1 Maylay an it stopped at 5.1 an some change.

[Splave]

the last 5 2500ks I benched x55 x57 x54 x53 x54 all same batch all costa rica decent batch it seems

[Wumpus]

both of my 2500k's that were good (a 56x and a 5700 chip) were both costa rica.

had two malaysia chips and both were 51x chips....

the latin passion must be doing something to these chips.....

That's the only reason I wanna try mine on ln2 to play with the temp my ss evap temps are high -50c when garage is cold and low -50 when its in the 70+ F

I want that extra 60mhz would take me over 6ghz :P

[Witchdoctor]

you didn't sell that chip yet :Dizzy:

[Patch]

Whew. I'm beat. $1000 in LN2 over the last month. Many hours. Wish I were better at tweaking 03, but I can't complain about the Matrix clocks.

Time to do a massive hardware sell off and take a break from the global scene for a spell. Maybe do some casual AMD CPU benching with my birthday present. :)

Found the limit of the Matrix. Could complete 03 with 1625 core, but efficiency takes a big hit with those extra 10mhz. Very narrow benching range in Trolls: gets too warm for the core above -177, but coldbugs the memory below -182 when transitioning to Nature. Can't use more than 1.62v at temps that low or it cracks every time.

Great work guys, sorry I'm kinda out of action right now, no money for ln2 ... I'm playing around benching old cards on air, am3 and '01 are sick regardless of card clocks so I'll pick up some decent hw boints that way.

[Witchdoctor]

Hey Joey, Hope all is well

Hey Joey, Hope all is well

Yeah all is ok, just not working so no money to spend. Hundreds of hardware boints to be had with cards I have just sitting here on air in 01 and am3 though :)

pretty colorful though..........LOL (On the Brink) , and locks black screen on AM right after the exsposion at the end, not sure if it is this new bot version or the card locking though

^ Sick ^

[thebanik]

Got hold of a HIS 7970.....Would be testing it tomorrow....Only OS option Win 7 x64??? or x86 works just as good????

[Witchdoctor]

I can't even get a driver that works on XP ...........

Effin AMD Beta release bullshit .......... 12.1 previews no go as well as 11.12 ....

If you find something please let me know, would like to go cold with these but really just a waste of juice with out XP ..... I hope they release dirvers soon as even their 7 64 drivers are dead linked now :Dizzy:


On a brighter note bro, the card is an absolute beast with a fan that can easily remove a finger on high speed. Down side for many but I like it .............. :laughing:

But then again I like the low seats at the cup race so I can hear the cars better :blink:

Ah well, shipping was cheap...ordered 2 anyways....but is there any advantage of putting them on LN2??? Is there a Mod for OCP/OVP??? or a way to put more volts than 1.3V????

[Witchdoctor]

I am sure there is, have not really looked into it yet,

[thebanik]

Got a decent clocker it seems, can easily do 1250/1700Mhz, have not even tried higher, hopefully it does, anyways please bear with me for the stupid questions, but any tweaks for unigine and 3dm11??? Have heard there are a few for unigine?? Dom/Witchy/Allen/Patch, any help would be much appreciated.......:D

This has been the story since the beginning of time. And it's the reason these cards are always tough to bench. They just can't seem to get a hold on making good drivers, ever. It's a big waiting game. There's probably not going to be any decent drivers until Lightning releases. That will probably be in Feb when the CUII cones out.

[DOM]

Mines kind of like retail :laughing: but its already updated till Dec11 with sp2 when I do the install

And idk what drivers I used idk if it says in gpu-z

[Witchdoctor]

We will be lucky if it is that quick, 5K release early December and no good driver untill 10.3 / 4 Months late and 6K is there a good driver ........ LOL

Thanks Witch, its because of you and DOM guiding me that playing with 7970 was a lesser pain in the as$, however still had to install the OS thrice. Now running retail Win7 like you, :D.

Have already ordered the EK bracket. Planning to do OCP Mod once the bracket arrives.

Btw HIS Distri owner in India who also used to be an enthusiast was telling me that HIS gets to cherry pick even their reference GPUs, can some1 confirm that???

[Witchdoctor]

I can't confirm that but 1340 core on air I think pretty much speaks for itself and if not all HIS are cherries your's sure is, with the mod, I have to think many Lightning and Matrix cards won't be able to keep up with that chip.......... Tear it up Banik, now all AMD has to do is release some half way decent drivers for XP

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

OH hell yeah! :thumbsup:

Its no world record but at least I'm helping the points! Been in a funk, every damn board I touched last few weeks has died or just wont run period.........
But da biotch is back! :blush:

Boy do I know that feeling! :Dizzy:

My NF4X Infinity was acting like it had kicked the bucket as of late but now it's back and just as mean as ever.
At first it was quirky but eventually straightened itself out and now it's humming along as if nothing had ever happened. I know DFI's can be tempermental so I'm chalking it up to being just that. There has already been some 754 action from it over the past week and more yet to come.

BTW don't forget the Feb. comp is now open - NY, I know you'll be in the mix there... :Hi:

[DOM]

finished up with the 570 didnt get gold but got something :) also last run on 06 i ran out of juice :laughing:

[Witchdoctor]

Killin it bro ........... :thumbsup:

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Got to reformat ugh!

I stockpiled some mediocre scores to submit, unfortunately I'm just about out of the game now, lightning is sold and my beloved 5860 2600k is on the chopping block next lol ....


Come on hail dammit!!

[Witchdoctor]

That blows Joey, I hope thing turn around for you

7970 under cold

Preliminary results = FAIL :ohcrap:

I'm in the same situation. Things blow in the construction bus. Everything went south for alot of people years ago. I think its finally catching up to me. Although I just picked up a nice bathroom remodel. So things feel a little beeter. lol. I think i took in around 5k in the last month. Pretty sad.

[thebanik]

Guyz in talks with an overclocker in HK who says he has 5 x 5.73G 2600K chips (his team tested 400 2600K according to him). Witchy convinced me not to buy, lol, but after speaking to the guy, his logic of prices of 5.7G 2600K not depreciating much even after Ivy launch is pretty valid, so might bite, but wanted to let you guyz know of the offer. Anyone interested can hook up for 500$ Shipped. He also has a 5.53 Ghz 3960X for 1400$.....

[OC Maximus]

5 bench raped 5.7Gz 2600k chips or only tested for Max CPU-z and then set aside?

[thebanik]

5 bench raped 5.7Gz 2600k chips or only tested for Max CPU-z and then set aside?

I guess just checked for CPUz coz according to him, they got 2 x 5.9G, a few 5.8G and around 20 5.7G chips. They sold all within team and overseas, only the 5 x 5.73G (One of these can do 5.78G but which one he does not know but all can do atleast 5.73G according to him) chips are left to be sold......Have kept the 5.9G chips as well which not willing to sell, :(

He says "All gurantee 5.7g+ for 3d benching, 3 nos. Guarantee 5.73g+"

[Witchdoctor]

Reference card needs modded for sure, best I could get stable was 1412/1790 :ohcrap:

some CF action coming later ....... :thumbsup:

Wow awesome scores there Witchy, specially the Vantage run. Go Go Go....

AM score is rediculous like 290K .... :ohcrap:

Heaven the screen shot is one of those bot screens ??? I just posted it 3160

No XP runs, can't get a driver to work right .... ran out of talent I guess ...... :laughing:

You think AMD would have a decent driver for XP, had it working then tried a diffeent driver ......... Utter failure, 05 and 01 were disapointing .... need an XP partition that will hold the power slider in CCC +20% with out it, stability and throttleing are all over the place 50K in 05 and 102K in 01 :thumbdown:

Finally made it to the top 20 in the US ........ :laughing:

[GFDuke]

Nice work Brian. Only one thing wrong........You should have started a Feb. bench thread. :laughing:

[Witchdoctor]

btw, how easy/hard was benching on LN2 with 7970???? And any challenges????

[Witchdoctor]

btw, how easy/hard was benching on LN2 with 7970???? And any challenges????

With your card it will be a walk in the park ..... seems once you get to max clocks more cold does not help, keep in mind I am a total rookie at this LN2 gig

I like it better than dice as it seems to be easier to control temps and allows you to get down real cold if need be. -65 seemed to be best for 1412/1790

Hope I can get the same clocks for CF ....... :thumbsup:

If I have any juice left I will push single card .... but at $ 2.25 a liter I played it a bit safe to assure some results

[DOM]

Nice work WD

But are you not cooling the vr's ???

[Witchdoctor]

just with fans ........... :blush:
